Im sorry but I don't feel like its a gimmick at all. For one alot of the young guys on the forum simply don't know or understand how the NBA used to be with its players and teams. Alot of guys in the league now wouldn't be able to score on the regular against the types of defenses the league used to have. Then if your going to put Jordan in the game, heck have the rest of his era's rival teams in the game for fun and most of all matchups. Alot of people for some odd reason think Kobe or Lebron is better than MJ, so in NBA2K11 you can use your imagination and have the 93 Bulls vs 2010 Lakers or Bulls vs 2010Cavs. Or you may want to see how the current Celtics or Lakers team would match up against Larry Bird's or Magic's Celtic and Laker teams.

This is a great feature to have in a game, in any sports people will always compare past players/teams to current players/teams. Im not a big fan of playing with the 90's or 80's or 70's allstar teams in the 2K games, but give me the 92Knicks or the 91Bulls and let me match them up against another classic team or current team, then im going to have some fun. NFL2K5 also had this feature and it was great!

Well now that you have LBJ, Wade and Bosh on one team..they could always do that for the cover .

And personally, I do not like the cover, when I first heard about this on another forum, others and I too thought it was just somebody playing around with a cover template. It just isn't sharpened enough nor very creative. But...who cares about the cover. I just can't wait for the game, the last trailer made it seem like it is a lot more physical and the paint d is better.

As others, I think it could do without the "Greatest of All-Time".. still a good cover though. Seems kind of plain though, don't you think?
