I just assumed that is what they would do. Otherwise what would be the point?

Re: NBA 2K11 - Now with Michael Jordan - October 5, 2010

The full 2 minute trailer for NBA 2K11 was just released today:

<object id='vid_3282381' width='480' height='270' data='http://media.ign.com/ev/embed.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'><param name='movie' value='http://media.ign.com/ev/embed.swf' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always' /><param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /><param name='flashvars' value='vgroup=nba2k11_trl_dev_premiere_trailer_81210&object=64509'/></object>

It looks sweet. I didn't read any additional specs, but I noticed there are old school teams like the Pistons with Dumars & Isiah, Lakers with Worthy and Divac and the Sonics with GP. If that's the case Wow!

Cool that they added Sirius to go with the whole Jordan thing. Other than that, Artest, and Snoop, I have never heard of any of the other bands.

That probably has to do with the mode where you play Jordan like moments and then try and reinvent his career.

I would love to be able to control the 1991 Lakers against Jordan and company and get revenge from the 1991 NBA Finals.

I'm really looking forward to playing this. I wish we could get more retro teams in sports games.

awesome.......... or maybe Reggie Miller and push Jordan out of the way before hitting a game winning 3 with less than a one second left in the playoffs for the Pacers.

Most people playing this game likely won't be on the Wii, but for those that are, is the classic controller pro the way to go vs. remote/nunchuck?

The latest Game Informer says that for each of the 10 Jordan Moments, they secured the license rights for every player involved in those games, recreated 80's and 90's style broadcast (I think I would completely lose my shit if they somehow got the rights to the NBA on NBC theme song), and made sure the arenas for those games are accurate.

The 10 Moments are:

Spoiler:

The Arrival (63 points against the C's)
69 Points (vs. Cleveland)
Shootout (MJ vs. Dominique)
Bad Boys (vs the Pistons)
1991 NBA Finals (the whole series vs. LA)
The Shrug (vs the Blazers)
Double Nickel (first game back at MSG)
Father's Day Victory (vs. Seattle)
The Flu Game (vs Utah)
Michael's Last Dance (vs Utah)

That's quality stuff right there, hopefully the game play lives up to the attention to detail. Against my better judgement, I'm excited for this game.

Re: NBA 2K11 - Now with Michael Jordan - October 5, 2010

^^ I did read that and Wow! That is probably one of the most creative game modes I've seen in a sports video game. Some of those challenges are going to be very difficult and should give me lots of sleepless nights trying to accomplish them.

Re: NBA 2K11 - Now with Michael Jordan - October 5, 2010

Was wondering about "The Shot", and why it's not included.

Kotaku hinted that it might be released later as DLC.

Skinny: It’s perplexing why 2K Sports did not include “The Shot” – one of the most famous game-winners Jordan hit – in the 10-game Jordan Challenge. With the 1990 Cavaliers appearing in “69 Points”, 2K Sports has the likenesses of all the personnel on the court for Jordan’s fist-pumping, Game Five dagger to sink Cleveland in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The performance – 44 points, a game-winning basket – closely matches “Michael’s Last Dance”, so it would seem to be somewhat scriptable within The Jordan Challenge.

Asked why their game has no “Shot”, 2K Sports’ Jason Argent indicated it ended up on the cutting room floor. “There are so many amazing Jordan moments that it was very, very hard to choose, so we tried to pick the 10 we felt would be the most fun to play through,” Argent said. “But with a legend like Mike, you can never really capture all the greatest moments”

My speculation? They might be saving for post-release downloadable expansions. Asked earlier about DLC plans for “The Jordan Challenge”, Argent declined to answer the question.

Re: NBA 2K11 - Now with Michael Jordan - October 5, 2010

^^ Wouldn't that be a little difficult to play a full game with the Bulls and Cavs and have it synchronized perfectly to set up Jordan for the game-winning shot? I think from a gaming standpoint that would be almost impossible. The other scenarios while hard, are alot more feasible.

Well, the way I hope this mode works is you're only controlling Jordan throughout the game, like the My Player mode. You could get him into position and call for the ball at the last moment. Although, it would still be hard because you'd have to keep the score really close. Maybe if you could get the game close enough with 10 seconds remaining, they'd let you replay those 10 seconds until you do it.

This sort of thing would be better as an achievement/trophy than a standard game mode though. Make winning the game all that's necessary to pass, but if you can set it up for the game winning shot you get the extra reward.

And regarding the 63-point game, certainly you only have to score at least 63 points with Jordan, right? I'd assume you can go over that total.

The same could be said for Jordan's last shot as a Chicago Bull, which IS one of the moments included.

Yeah, I don't have the mag with me right now, but they had exactly what you needed to do for each challenge - I know that one was score at least 63. I think the tough part (for me) on these challenges is that for most of them, you have to match his shooting percentage in those games, many of them were in the 55% range. So I guess I won't be just firing up 40 3-pointers

XPlay was scrolling a note that pre-orders for this game will get a Michael Jordan jersey for your 360 Avatar or Home character. Being a Pistons fan my whole life, I HATED Jordan... but I must get this game (I just wish Amazon would give a $20 credit).

I don't think so. Those classic teams are only part of the Jordan challenge where you as Jordan have to accomplish those goals.
