I never was a Jordan fan so this doesnt appeal to me. Actually I'm a little disappointed this warranted a entire "mode" but I'm sure there's more than enough people who loves this idea.

[Jukeman]

Someone should get a check...

Love the idea. Only downside is this is a cheesers wet dream.

Way to capture the casual gamers' market 2K. Shrewd business move.

You know there are thousands of cheesers out there and what better way to get sales than to introduce a mode where they can go haywire.

I tip my hat to y'all.

There are several additions. For example:

1991 NBA Finals When: June 2 thru June 12, 1991 vs. Lakers Goal 1: Average 31.0+ points Goal 2: Shoot 55%+ from the field Goal 3: Average 11+ assists Goal 4: Win the series

That's a new one, and a one that I've been asking for. I'm really happy they added it. It just helps you to understand what MJ did during the 1991 Finals.

I'm sorry but that IMO was a waste of a insight. We already knew that there were certain things required to accomplished the jordan challenges. Give us insights more in the line of the last one. It was informative and contained a lot of new info pertaining to fixing problems in the Franchise.

I don't think it was a "real" insight, just an update. They pretty mych copy-past everything + several lines of what they added. I'm pretty sure we'll get a "real" insight soon.
