Wow!! He hasn't appeared in an official NBA game in 2 decades D: so this got me really hyped up NBA live 11 will be crushed in sales this year because MJ has an exclusive contract with 2k sports. Dont worry about Not being able to use him, he will be a playable character in the game (Bulls #23)
Damn im so fucking hyped for this.. anyone else?
Basketball superstar Michael Jordan will help develop the upcoming "NBA 2K11" game from Take-Two Interactive and will be on the game's cover. Jason Argent, vice president of marketing at Take-Two's 2K Sports, says that's a departure from a typical cover deal with athletes. Usually, the game maker simply hands over a check.
Players will be able to play Jordan's character to vicariously slam-dunk their way to victory from the comfort of their couch. Although 2K did not give a lot of information on how the game will look, Argent says Jordan will be working closely with developers, right down to such details as whether the character's elbow is at the correct angle for a shot.
The new game goes on sale Oct. 5.
"It's an honor to be featured on the cover of NBA 2K11," said Jordan, quoted from a press release by 2K Sports. "I have no doubt that NBA 2K11 will be a big hit with gamers and basketball fans alike. I'm looking forward to getting back out onto the court, virtually. Let's hope they get my dunk from the foul line right."
