there is no reason for them there using the current path they are taking. They were irrelevant during Jordan's playing career.

I'd love to see them in there, if only to enact a playoff series between them and the Bulls. But as said before, Jordan really had no 'classic' moments against the Rockets, it seems the only teams being included are ones which Jordan had a notable game against (69 points, flu game, etc etc).

It won't be a situation where you switch teams guys... That's not how it works. If they add more teams you won't have to remove existing ones. Must be some problem with Suns 93 at this time. It's the only missing year. Barkely, KJ and Majerle are in the legends pool so I'm not sure what the hold up is with this. I think MJ had his highest finals average in 93, so that would make for the challenge.

This may just be the start...

Many people don't seem to realise this is about Jordan and the Bulls, hence 95 Knicks not 94. Same with no Rockets.

BUT, I am sure this is a starting point. As 2K agree with older players to include them in 2K11 it's logical it expands from there. Hopefully in a few years you have the ability to play seasons from the past.

Be great if they expanded this in 2K12 to include Jordans entire career and all the teams/players from 84-98. How sweet to do a franchise mode where the CPU trades all reflect what happened and you grow the Bulls.

Ultimate MY PLAYER mode MY JORDAN.

They should ultimately bring out a NBA 2KClassics game. Feature all teams from 1980 to 1998. Full franchises from when Magic/Bird saved (term used loosely) the NBA to Jordan taking it forward.

I'd buy 2KClassics at full retail. I bet you all would.
