You know I have great respect for Blazer fans. You went through hell in the 1990 finals, and again in 92. You guys were a great team, just not quite as good as the Pistons and Bulls.

I noticed that it said "Bulls Arena" on the score board. And the court colors/lighting/feel of the game is nothing like the old Chicago Stadium. That looks identical to the United Center and has a generic name. That recent preview article said the same thing about the Boston Garden not being included in the Challenge. So maybe the stadiums are simply not complete yet?

I love how it appears to have a slightly desaturated/sepia tone look to it to further give it that old school feel. That's something I always did when making my videos.

One thing that worries me is the different short length between the Bulls and Blazers, which means it's probably hardwired into the classic teams and not something selectable. So when I want to do a video with a classic team not in the game (Suns, Magic, ect.) they'll have the current past-the-knees shorts no matter what.

And the Chicago Stadium floor was pretty beat up, particularly the red lane. It didn't look like that ultra-glossy reflective & glassy-look like today's courts. That court looks just like the United Center.

Kersey did the same thing a few plays before that. If Im trying to contest a guy running at me on an open lane and he initiates a dunk, I expect to be able to at least jump and have physics decide the outcome. But to have my player rendered uncontrollable should not be the result. So are unstoppable dunks without any contesting collisions still in 2K? Will Jordan have his 3 dribble set free throw routine? Do you have him shooting free throws blind anywhere like he did versus the Nuggets?

Didn't Mike say that this was a pretty old build?

Edit: I just saw who posted this. Nevermind.

I agree on the Paxson and Kersey faces.

Also the high socks going over the kneecap.

It can be patched into that particular players model. No need anyway, it's in there.
