NBA 2K11: Gamers Can Play With 10 Different Versions of Jordan

[VDusen04]

For the record, this is some of the coolest news I've ever heard regarding a basketball video game. I'm a lifelong Pistons fan, but I can't deny how fun it sounds to recreate all those Jordan moments and teams. Surely, there's all sorts of questions (How editable will be the generic players on Jordan's teams be? Will there be any other retro teams? Will the only other retro teams be Jordan's opposing squads from the challenges? Will the classic teams be usable in exibitions?) but even with all those things lingering, it still sounds incredible.

I'm super pumped they began to make these additions. My feeling is, with such a rich NBA history that so many basketball and video gamers hold dearly, I have to think adding this mode and continuing to flesh it out in the years to come is going to draw in a lot of other folk to 2K, and for good reason. It's a win-win-win all around.

I know a classic Prime Jordan grind-it-out game against the Knicks might be sweet, but I thought I read or just assumed that the inclusion of a '94-'95 MJ probably meant his 55 point "Double Nickel" game against New York at MSG would be included (when he was still wearing 45).

Boy I loved those Bulls vs Pistons games. Although I hated the Pistons because I was a huge MJ fan, I had MAD respect for Isaiah Thomas. That dude could flat out BALL.

I would love to be at the top of the key with virtual MJ and drive the lane, only to have the Piston defense read and collapse and on Jordan.

sounds awesome. Messenjahmatt will have to think of new stuff now that the average person can recreate 8 moments. and have 2 just made up ('91 finals, hold nique under 25)

But 2K must get Pippen's afro right for that year!

Yeah, the 1995 Knicks game is there, but I hope to have another one from 1992 or at elast 1993. And what about the 1989 Cavs game - "The Shot"?

Yeah good question there. I presumed The Shot would have been included but I don't remember seeing an '89 Jordan listed. Perhaps I just misread. I saw 89-90 included, but not 88-89.
