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

[adembroski]

'93 Suns are the selling point for me, I'm sorry to say. especially if the Vet is accurate. My uncle was head of stadium police there for several years and I know it well.

I grew up on Barkley, Majerle, K.J., Ainge... I don't like basketball anymore. I hate what the NBA has become since the '90s. But if anything can make me a basketball fan again, it's the opportunity to play with this team in a modern basketball game.

Not to be a super crazy stickler, but I'm pretty sure the '93 Suns played in America West Arena. 1992 was their last year at the Vet, for whatever it's worth.

I hope for your sake 2K finds a way to include that club. At least, I'd like those sunblast retros, so a user (a member here, PortlandBlazer, makes a spot on Charles Barkley) could make the '93 Suns on their own.

Agreed! He should have gotten a tech.

This is awesome, I have been a NBA Live fan since Bulls vs. Lakers and this will bring me over to get both of them this year...I can't wait.

I'm just glad that the Pistons let Jordan have one good game during the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals, so that team could be in this game.

You're right, and Barkley never played at the Vet. My uncle had moved back to North Dakota by '91, so I stopped going to games and only watched on TV. I can't imagine they'd include any Suns team but '93 though.

Anyways, I can't imagine they'd leave 'em out. They were a pretty popular team at the time if I remember right, even outside Phoenix. Lots of personalities and fun to watch (a staple of the Suns! We may be the Cubs of the NBA, but we're always fun to watch:P).

I'm hoping Ray Clay is the announcer for the traditional Bulls introduction + music.

And the away team intros have the traditional Pink Floyd music -



Are player introductions confirmed for 2K11?
