09:29 AM - July 22, 2010 by J-Clutch1

USA Today just announced "The Jordan Challenge" for NBA 2K11.

Quote:


	"Gamers will not only control Jordan, but some of the classic Bulls teams of the '80s and '90s. The games have been recreated to authentically mirror the appearance of arenas and players from that era. Among the Jordan highlights featured: -- 1990 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers. Jordan scored a career high 69 points in an 117-113 overtime win. -- 1992 NBA Finals. In Game 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers, Jordan scored 35 points in the first half, draining a record six 3-pointers. -- 1997 NBA Finals. Battling a stomach virus, Jordan scored 38 points in a pivotal Game 5 victory against the Utah Jazz."

lol there are still a few months before the game comes out...and for the ones who really dont care about anything except online..im the opposite i care about everything except online. There are a lot of people who play online..but im sure there are more who dont....

fixing online would probably be a server issue instead of fixing something ingame

This mode is going to sell this game like all you can eat pancakes at Ihop.

Definitely a fine start to what is hopefully a good time to come with some more insights, gameplay improvements and so on. I certainly like the fact that they didn't just purchase a expensive license and therefore rely only on a name.. Using it to make the game more attractive to people by creating a mode all around an icon, that's a great attitude.

I have to say I'm really looking forward to all the MJ stuff that's going to be playable, but until the first gameplay vids are out and i hear some new things about the A.I., I'll have to sit back and wait.

Nice way to go 2K...

Very nice news.....

I wonder how deep these classic teams go ??

Can we use the teams that the Bulls played for those 10 challenges ??

Is this just the tip of the iceberg ?? Will there be a whole bunch of classic teams to chose from ??

# 45 cjallure24 @ 07/22/10 11:23 AM

Nice, sounds awesome. Only if we could play with other classic rosters besides the Bulls. I know for myself that once I play with the Bulls a number of times it will get stale. I still like the feature and look forward to playing it. I hope they add a MSG moment in there. Good stuff

# 46 Shakedowncapo @ 07/22/10 11:25 AM

I'd do backflips if the '84 sixers were included.

That's already confirmed with his 55 pt come back MSG game in the CNBC article.

I'm guessing there's Game 7 1992 Kincks series as well.

His arms and shoulders are way too big... facial replication is nicely done though.

@dafuture4sho

this guy must be like 12... do you realize how much of an impact jordan has made in the game of basketball??

can't wait to complete those jordan challenges

# 51 elprez98 @ 07/22/10 11:51 AM

This is a great way to minimize Lebron's announcement.

# 52 ybtherockstar @ 07/22/10 11:53 AM

Excellent news to announce this mode. It should be great.

# 53 NYCDaFuture @ 07/22/10 11:58 AM

12?? nah I'm in my early 20's fam n I play college ball so chill wit all of that bs.. I never said that I disliked this.. Everyone getting tight cuz a few ppl like myself aren't hype about this mode.. Yea it's a good start but def nothing to get me mad hype about.. I mean listen if dis happened when Jordan was playing then it's a different story.. I've enjoyed 2k since dreamcast witout using Jordan so him in the gm playable n all of this stuff is cool but not Essential to me feel me..

I think becuz they hyped this up is y I'm alil dissapointed.. If they never hyped it up to be this big ground breaking feature then I prolly would b hype like the rest of u.. N I was n still am a Huge Micheal Jordan Fan... I just rather hear some groundbreaking features for gameplay or Spectator mode online or something but it's good for now.. N next time don't try n dis respect me cuz i'm one of da realest sim ballers on here so let's not get into skillz iight lmaooo.. Ghost

Officially excited

That is pretty likely. I expect to see Pippen, Rodman, and some others. It could be too early to say. It is still going to be great though!

I was just going to say this. But on the PC version, that won't be a problem! Mods FTW!

Jordan was in 2K2 on the Dreamcast. I still have NBA2K-2K2 on the Dreamcast. 2K1 was my favorite.

# 57 Rocboyz101 @ 07/22/10 01:04 PM

This is nice..I must say this is great news..

# 58 SacKings1999 @ 07/22/10 01:15 PM

How can people not be collapsing in the streets with excitement??? Haha, this is such amazing news to me. If you were a Jordan fan at all... this is a must buy. Wow, just wow. Not sure if I've ever been this excited for a basketball video game. 2k10, aside from player movement / momentum issues was extremely solid. We've already heard that 2k is revamping movement / animations / Isomotion. Now we hear that you can play as 10 different Jordans and relive different moments against classic rosters? Might have to complete my first ever pre-order of a game

# 59 youvalss @ 07/22/10 01:19 PM

That's HUGE!!!

I just hope all the other players who should be there - are there, not generic ones.

# 60 RIZDRAVER @ 07/22/10 01:21 PM

29 years old and this will officially be my first pre-ordered game.
