NBA 2K11 Developer Insight: "Jordan Challenge" - Some Historic Teams Announced

[Altimus]

Post 2000 Pacers won't be in there as that has nothing to do with the MJ era (Wizards excluding). However, I really hope they bring in one of the Pacers squads in.

Wonder what they'll do with Mark Jackson as he's on Elite's payroll this year. Travis Best time.

I'm this close to buying a new PC just so I can download those 90s era NBA 2k mods that Bob has been posting on here.

Seeing the virtual Davis Boys and Reggie is freaking awesome.

I used to play Live on the PC and patch it all the time so I'm tempted as well but I'm using TrailBlazer's 1992 Xbox roster so that should hold me over till this hits.

I know exactly how your feeling. I was on the verge of buying a new PC just for NBA 2K11, and I still might. I'm going to hold off until 2K11 drops and see how it is on the 360, since they dropped this huge news with MJ and classic teams....This is actually the first time I'm willing to drop some coin on DLC for more classic teams and arenas.

Give me the Suns, PLEASE give me the Suns!

2 things:

1) To me, it seems like having both the Bulls and Jazz teams of 97 and 98 are a bit redundant. I don't recall much change to the rosters for both teams during that time.

2) Speaking of 97 Bulls and Jordan's flu game, how would that be a challenge? Will they make it so that for that particular challenge, Jordan's stamina is at like 60 or something?

I'm too hyped for this game. I'm with some of yall who want more classic teams, and who's to say they aren't available. I know my personal wish list for teams to be added (if I must only name 5 more teams) would be:

93 Suns (need Barkley!)
95 Magic (beat Jordan when he first came back...YOUNG Shaq and Penny)
95 Rockets (beat that Magic team that beat the Bulls)
87 Lakers (only because the 86 Celtics are included)
98 Pacers (went to game 7 with the Bulls in the EFC)

Posts 207-217 deal with the subject matter of a thread I made, but it was locked. It would have been nice to discuss those 11 posts there though.

Like the thread said, this is not going to be ESPNClassic 2K11--it's NBA 2K11. It's not the Hall of Fame Challenge; it's the Jordan Challenge. Teams Jordan didn't have Classic moments against have not been announced and may never will be.

Sigh, I hope they don't focus too much more on this. It looks like they've done a great job thus far, no more though. Focus on the rest. Ppl are forgetting this isn't just about the 90's..
