I agree the short length still seeming too long worries me a bit. Sidenote I am going to beast with Orlando Woolridge.

I see #20 on this pic, Eugene Banks. He played for the local team where I lived, I think from 1990-1992. He lived 2 blocks from my house and I've been to many practices of the team, and though talked to other players, never talked to him. He would never talk to anyone, very quiet guy.

Funny!!!

I'm going to do the opposite and complete the cycle. I'm going to start him with the Wizards and win a bunch of championships and then when he gets old, finish his career with the Bulls.

Fun stuff!!

I absolutely love this, but I hope they didn't just do a lot on this and not concentrate a lot on my player. This basically sounds like "my player mode featuring Jordan" not saying that's a bad thing

# 47 youvalss @ 08/11/10 05:37 PM

I honestly can't see MJ playing for another team, I just can't!

# 48 NINJAK2 @ 08/11/10 05:41 PM

Good read 2k.

I think people may also need to consider that the screen maybe of a young Jordan on the current Bulls team not a classic team.

# 50 Manbearpig @ 08/11/10 06:02 PM

the reason his shorts are nromal length is because he is being put into a modern day NBA league, its like a "what if" scenerio IMO, where you can start Jordan's career in the modern day, and see how he progresses/succeeds with you in control (what if Jordan was rookie in today's NBA), so having classic style shorts would not make any sense

It is editable, but we'll fix it.

# 52 LeBronistheKing @ 08/11/10 06:11 PM

I'm pretty sure that the screenshot is supposed to be Jordan from 1986 specifically the 63 points game 2 against Boston. Therefore the shorts look to maybe be a little long and the compression shorts are inaccurate as he did not wear them at that time.

Just saw that Beluba adressed this. Great to hear that. I have to say that I am very impressed with the atempts to stay as accurate as possible. Hoping for the infamous Jordan calf sleeve with the red strip. Also very encouraged to see that He is wearing the accurate shoes that correspond to this particular game. Hoping that transfers to all the games such as the XIs for 96 etc. On a personal note I especially loved the Jordans he wore in the playoffs in 1991, and also praying we might be lucky enough to see Scottie Pippens AIR more uptempos (my favorite shoe in NBA history) during the 1996 finals challenge against the Sonics. Again just awesome news.

Listen up guys... please keep the Elite talk out of this thread please

Lets not derail any threads, especially one's Steve post with vs stuff.

# 54 kolanji @ 08/11/10 06:16 PM

how can u ask for more from a dev team that has less than a year to get this much stuff done b4 due date?it keeps getting better and better each time new info is revealed.i just hope EA doesnt withdraw themselves come next year to better get themselves position to actually compete with the nba 2k franchise.so i really gotta thank EA for the competition if it wasnt for them maybe jordan chalenge would neva had come about.can u imagine if EA had gotten exclusive rights to NBA license? i really do hope that they revoke exclusive license from MLB 2k series & Madden series......because with competition games like nba 2k11 and elite 11 would not b what they r today..........

Ps madden is going downhill IMO due to lack of competition

# 55 richmo @ 08/11/10 06:17 PM

Man, this just bumped the replay value of this game from probably July '11 to September. Imagine putting him on the Cavs, doing what LeBron couldn't...

# 56 NYCDaFuture @ 08/11/10 06:21 PM

It's real good n all.. I guess online ain't gonna b nothing this year.. I see they put all of their focus fo offline..... O well.. Newayz Clever move from 2k... Ghost

I think u are right.... Just think about how good these games would be if they just updated the roster every year and put out good games every 2 years.... A game with no problems and they will have time to address every issue we may ever have with game. but on the up and up i love were this game is going.

# 58 ODogg @ 08/11/10 06:35 PM

Wow, Jordan will be on the Cavs for me. This is a great mode. I'd like to see EA copy it with other legends they can sign for their sports games. Well heck for that matter I'd love all sports games to copy this sort of ingenius thinking for some of the legendary players.

Pele' would make a great addition to the Columbus Crew, LOL.

# 59 rudeworld @ 08/11/10 06:38 PM

sound great!!!....I wonder if every player will "age" along with MJ.....now that would be....the best!!!

# 60 SmokiDog @ 08/11/10 06:40 PM

Do u see the SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope they have all of his shoes in this years game. Thats all I wanted is for 2k to catch up with EA on the shoes side.
