I know this will be the case because I've seen people refuse to take mid-range jumpers with their My Players that have maxed out attributes.

Well Said, and again people who typically play these games, are youngsters who believe bball is all about dunks...

Nice read..maybe people will use them who knows?

I've been a Bulls fan since 92 and I will be playing the 2010-11 season as the current Bulls without any added teams or such. I might start a second one, just for fun, with the 95-96 Bulls but that won't be my main Association.

It's unavoidable. Using the created versions of Jordan in 2K10 my little brothers (14 and 12) and my older brother (29) all try to bust inside every single time down the court with MJ early on. It always takes a few quarters (and some reminders about Jordan's game from me) before they begin getting into a groove with him. It's natural to just want to force and make him score 90. I've been guilty just as well.

So yeah, definitely possible to combat MJ and the Bulls. It can be real tough not to force and expect everything to drop.

Well I mean he IS Jordan who in addition to everything I said is probably the best finisher in terms of power/finesse the game has ever seen as well. Forcing it inside a few times isn't exactly dumb, but yeah I know people will just bull charge in there and try to score on 4 people. It never ceases to amaze me how many times someone (My players with 5 bars from mid-range in pickup games) will get the ball for a WIIIIIIIDE open mid range J and instead of taking the shot they'll charge headfirst towards the basket and get some ******* animation.

Article was a fun read. Except the Bulls won't be sniffing Finals. They will be a dangerous 50 win team like the Jazz were along with the 9 other quality teams in the West, but they won't be able to go through Miami, Orlando or Boston.

Hypothetically speaking, even if they did meet the Lakers in the Finals, LA would stomp them in 4 or 5 games just like they did with Utah and Boozer. Noah and Boozer is a quality/decent combo, but just doesn't compare to Gasol and Bynum.

As a die-hard Bulls fan, I can honestly say that I'm having just as much fun playing with the new-look Bulls as I am playing with the classic Jordan teams. They offer a completely different experience, as well as a completely different challenge. Either way you look at it... Bulls fans will be in heaven this October.
