NBA 2K11: Jordan Moments and Era-Specific Playbooks

08:04 PM - July 22, 2010 by Steve_OS

Okay so by now you have heard that Jordan will indeed be a playable character in NBA 2K11 in a new feature 2K is calling the Jordan Challenge. Each available Jordan moment has a title and goals that must be accomplished. The difficulty in performing these is greatly enhanced with all of the new gameplay-related updates 2K11 will sport this year. This is much more than just old-school rosters plugged into an already built NBA 2K11.

You mean this?

Rodman was a real ******* doing this. It wasn't funny or making the crowd love him. That's just pure stupidity.

Stiff hand checks as well.

Well ... being Jordans challenge the main focus and the classic teams the result of that feature, I can understand the multiple Bulls teams and the few West teams, as its hard to have any rivalry at all when you only face teams 2 games a season ... but then again, I do agree that PHO (and IND & ORL) are omissions that need to be addressed prior or near post release.

I would definitively love to see some more teams, that were relevant back then but not as much in respect of Jordans career, like HOU, GS, SAC, DEN, SA and/or MIA ... I would also love if they could expand upon the create a team/player feature ... but at this point, I am already satisfied and every other team or feature they may hopefully add, will be a bonus.

if they do have generics with just a number I HOPE WE CAN EDIT THEM and use the CAP system to make it look like their counterparts...

Dude, I literally just got goosebumps. This will undoubtedly cement 2k11 as the clear front runner un the nba sim competetion.

# 89 melloyello313 @ 07/27/10 12:39 PM

So... with the classic teams... I'm assuming we will get the BAD BOYS of detroit from 89-90? Rodman in his prime... Vinnie "the microwave" JOhnson, John "Spider" Sally? Just got more Goosebumps....

Would the Thunder players become free agents or disappear forever?

Those who weren't born back then, would start to disappear, like Marty in Back to the Future (when he played guitar on stage).

I have no idea if the BAD BOYS will be in the game. But whatever you do...don't look at the thread that has been up for days announcing which historic teams are available!

Just kidding man. The Bad Boys are in.

# 93 youvalss @ 07/27/10 10:11 PM

The Bas Boys are in and can't wait to kick MJ's butt!...virtually...

# 94 jaywv30 @ 07/28/10 10:40 AM

1985-86 Bulls.....gonna use me some Dave Corzine baby....lol.

I am actually pumped to use the 95 Bulls, thats a team you don't see even on the PC version mods. Number 45 Jordan double-nickelin' the Knicks. I wonder if the threepoint line will be closer on that court?

95 Bulls was the team without a true starting power forward, Kukoc had to play out of position...it was pre-Rodman/Post-Grant,
Roster:

PF Kukoc
SF Pippen
C Perdue
SG Jordan
PG Armstrong

SG Harper
SG Myers
PF Blount
C Wennington
SF Buechler
PG Kerr
C Longley
PF Simpkins
PF Kryskowiak (or whatever lol)

But 1990 Rodman will play the entilre game, while 1996 Rodman will get kicked out after a while. 1990 Rodman doesn't need to worry.

There's no generic players in the game. 2K has the license for all the players.

Not with Laimbeer and Mahorn in there, I can assure you he will not be body slamming anyone.

Mahorn was lost to the Timberwolves in the expansion draft after the 1989 Championship. He refused to play for the expansion Wolves and ended up on the Sixers and along with Barkley actually took part in a late game brawl at the Palace against Laimbeer and the Pistons. In fact, Isiah was ejected earlier in the game for fighting with Mahorn.

Still, the Pistons did get the best Rodman years. He was still a dominant rebounder with the Bulls, but he was a better overall defender with quick feet, more athleticism, and a better concept of team and commitment during all but the end of his Pistons years. He was loved in Detroit for being a real blue collar player.

The last I checked 2K mentioned they had all starters and many bench players and were trying to get all players but had not reached that point yet. I assumed there'd be at least a handful of end of bench guys they might not be able to snag. Has there been an update in this regard?
