Umm, they lost that game and that series, lol. Trust me I know my history. Plus, now there's no Silverdome in the game.

I'm not doubting you or any one person; it's all good man.

However Chuck Daly and a few of the Pistons later said they could not stop Jordan. Just because Jordan's team lost doesn't mean they stopped Jordan. I know my history as well, and if you score over 40 or over 60 and your team lost, they sure as heck didn't stop YOU. Jordan had a RIDICULOUS streak of scoring at least 20 points every game--Kobe can't even do that. Jordan didn't get stopped, so 2K is right in saying that.

Just for the sake of clarification, they did not review buzzer beaters at that time via video. No one in the house really questioned whether it counted. And I mean that in a matter-of-fact manner, I do not intend to sound like a punk or anything, just a random fyi.

And just for another friendly fyi, the Pistons were playing in the Palace by 1990 (The Pistons won both the '89 and '90 championship at the Palace in fact - its first two seasons).

You are correct sir. Major brain-fart.

I think the Pistons series is what I'm looking forward to most. If they had the 92 Knicks, that would have taken it. Could you imagine an X-man-Jordan forehead to forehead animation!

I wonder if they where to add more Jordan Challenge moments as DLC would whatever teams added into those moments become new playable classic teams in the game. Heck would be sweet if they just made more historical teams as DLC would love to play as Sir Charles and the 92-93 Suns...hey 2K make it happen!

93 NBA Finals
Game 4
Jordan unleashed
-Score 55+ points
-Get 8+ rebounds
-Shoot over 55% from the field
-get the win

This game he just let loose against Phoenix

Wow, I know playing with the Jordan era Bulls would be awesome, but being able to play with throwback Seattle w/Kemp and Payton - now that will be just an added bonus for me

This game is going to be classic! I hope they can get some of those Pacer teams in there. I'd love to play with Reggie and the crew...relive some of those Pacer/ Knick battles!

Guys, the historic teams are about MJ, it's not about having every classic team. So why would 2K give you the option to play 2 teams that had nothing to do with MJ's Bulls?

* Unless, of course, there are more surprises, but I doubt it. In order to add more teams it means chasing down more players and more rights and more money and more time. Either way, people will never be satisfied.

I agree with you 100%...but that shows you how much people love classic rosters. PC players have been enjoying this since 2K9, because of modding. I think this issue can be remedied, if 2K blows out the customization in 2K12 and future NBA 2K titles for the PS3 and 360.
