Michael Jordan to grace NBA 2K11 cover?

Talk about NBA 2K11 here.

Michael Jordan to grace NBA 2K11 cover?

Postby Andrew on Thu May 27, 2010 10:48 am

ESPN.com's Jon Robinson is reporting that former NBA great and current Charlotte Bobcats owner (and my favourite all-time player) may be gracing the cover of NBA 2K11. This would mark the first time that a retired player has appeared on the cover of NBA 2K. Robinson also reports that Jordan himself may appear in the game along with former teammates and opponents, offering the opportunity to faithfully recreate the rivalries from the "Jordan Era".


So...if this is true, I guess I'm definitely (and eagerly) picking up both games this year. ;)

Wow. I hope this is true. MJ on the cover with possibly some old teammates. If this is true this is a must pick up.

A first time indeed. It'll be a boost of sale on nba 2k11. Nice marketing strategy indeed.
Finally we are going to see jordan on the game.

2K must've realized that based on the number of downloads for Jordan CAPS in 2K Share.

Hope they'll bring back the old medium-sized jersey and shorts. The ones from 95-97 or 97-98. Today's size and length are too hip-hop for me. :D

That'd be a nice detail, but I can live with it if they don't.

I rather have good servers than a 2k made MJ but what ever. Its a good marketing move.

As long as you can play by the Jordan Rules, cool.

What the hell? I've never cared much about the cover players, but if they make this happen, just awsome.

Cool thing, but does not really affect the game for me. Improve gameplay and atmosphere, that's what I want!

Absolutely. Nevertheless, if this is true:

Robinson also reports that Jordan himself may appear in the game along with former teammates and opponents, offering the opportunity to faithfully recreate the rivalries from the "Jordan Era".


...that'd be a pretty cool extra.

Jordan is the fucking bomb.

I hope this goes through, I'd buy 2K regardless of who is on the cover but MJ being on the cover would just make it that much more special. My first Live game featured MJ (and TD).

Gives me a reason to justify buying 2K again. Yeah, I'm a cheapskate.

2K9 - it's the first 2K game for the PC!
2K10 - the franchise is on it's 10th anniversary!
2K11 - Jordan!

Would be nice to finally have Jordan in-game licensed and some classic teams and more classic players from the early 90's with an appropriate uniform fit and short size. If this is true (if it in fact goes beyond just Jordan being in the cover) it's a great addition and fun factor for the game (Y).

Well, he has been in the game before as a Legend and active player during his tenure with the Wizards. He also made a small appearance on the NBA Live 2000 cover. This is certainly taking things a step further though.

They should go with him from the late 80's when he was "Air" Jordan :P

I hope that means that 2k10 has better All-Time teams & also incorporates classic teams (i.e. '00 Lakers, '96 Bulls, '92 Bulls, '89 Pistons, '87 Lakers, '86 Celtics, '83 76ers, '77 Blazers, '72 Lakers etc, '70 Knicks, '67 76ers, '65 Celtics). Would be nice to see All-Time Rosters for each team, although can't see it happening unfortunately (N)

That wouldn't be a bad idea either. I reckon they'll use a photo from the mid to late 90s though...unless they go with a few alternate "collector" covers.

It wouldn't surprise me if the special editions come with a MJ DVD, a MJ figurine & MJ picture book.
