Though it has been suspected ever since Michael Jordan was revealed to be the cover athlete for NBA 2K11 there is finally confirmation on a new mode featuring him in-game. The mode will be known as “The Jordan Challenge” and allow for gamers to recreate many of his career highlights as well as play with some classic Chicago Bulls teams of the 80s and 90s (though based on the screenshot above it appears there will be some generic players included on the roster).

CNBC has further details on the mode which has 10 different versions of Jordan, the different situations to play through, and that each one requires certain goals be met such as matching point totals or shooting percentages.

The games that fans can play with different versions of Jordan include all of the following: April 20, 1986 (Game 2 of the 1st round of the playoffs against the Celtics when Jordan scored 63), March 28, 1990 (regular season game against the Cavs when Jordan scored 69), June 3, 1992 (Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs versus the Trail Blazers when Jordan scored 35 in the first half), March 28, 1995 (Jordan returns to the game and scores 55 against the Knicks), June 11, 1997 (the famous Jordan “flu game”) and June 14,1998 (the day of his last game in a Bulls uniform as his last second shot gives the Bulls its sixth title under his reign).

It is also stated that there will be additional features in NBA 2K11 that will feature Jordan and be discussed leading up to release of the game. What do you think of “The Jordan Challenge” and what it means for NBA 2K11? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Damn man why I got to be a fool and a fanboy? Was that you I accepted on PSN?

No to your PSN question. Like I have told you RA , I will cut you no slack. You and the rest of your flunkies like to think I am a EA fanboi but find one post where I make claims that Madden is the greatest game ever and that Elite is the greatest. I will save you the trouble. You won’t find any. I don’t hate on 2k, I just expose idiotic fanboy behavior when it rears its ugly head. Any person making a comment regarding to 2k11′s superiority without the benefit of seeing a single screen shot/game play video is the sheer definition of a douchebag fanboy. There is just no denying it.I have never said elite will be better than 2K I simply comment on what they are doing. I don’t make fanboy comments like i know Elite will be better. Every one of you guys on this thread is a fanboy. All of you make blanket statements about 2k crushing Elite or how great 2k will be with out a shred of evidence to support it. Therefore you are ALL FOOLS.All you fools have played 2k for years and every year you expect some magic to happen. You fools are so clueless. 2k is the same game every friggin year with the addition of some useless fluff. 1) slam dunk contest, Jordan moments, its all bull shit. You are paying for NBA2k7 over and over again and you are too stupid to realize it. You are too stupid to understand that 2k is the Madden of basketball yet for some rediculous reason you give 2k a pass and you rail endlessly on Madden. GET SMARTER 2K FAN………………………..YOU ARE DISMISSED.

you right 2k10 was horrible last year and if people dont see that they must have never touched a basketball in there life elite is early in development i got a feeling in oct 2k fans will be eating there wordsl

Honesly Daley EVERY sports game is the same every year with minor tweaks (and roster updates). 2k and Live a.k.a. Elite will be the same as least year with some tweaks, it’s just how the yearly releases go. Every sports game adds fluff (Madden being the biggest culprit).
greg

eat a dick bitch ass nigga you need to get a fuckin life and stop tryna “expose idiotic fanboy behavior when it rears its ugly head”. and the only way you could choose an ea basketball game over a 2k basketball game is if it was better than 2k’s (which it hasnt been for quite a while now) or if youre a ea fanboy.

Amen Ra

You know the Madden people say this year is all about polish too. So are you admitting you are a EA fanboy when you buy it?
Tdaley7199

i cant wait til NBA Elite comes out… I mean cums out, im gonna be on my mothers couch butt naked and greased from head to toe (me and my boyfriend) playing NBA Elite. You guys can have 2k11, me and my man will love our NBA Elite… Even if me and him are the only ones that buy the game, it will be all ours…
Daley7199

LoL if we gotta push off Byron Russell in the challenge vs. Utah. It would've be hilarious if they included that game vs. The Pacers when Reggie Miller got ejected for punching him & he went off after that.
daley7199

daley why cant you just admit that 2k has better basketball games than ea does ill play both 2k11 and elite 11 and hell elite might be better but im not going to be a fanboy and suck a developers dick if elite 11 is better than ill play that but as of right now 2k has the best basketball game fuck u i hate you never comment again cause all your doing is embarassing yourself

It's one thing to throw Jordan in the game and have some “Jordan Moments” mode where you play old teams in name alone. It's quite another to have not only Jordan (through the ages, mind you) and the different Bulls looks throughout those years, but license all the specific teammates on his teams and (I'm presuming) the teams your playing against. Now that is fan service, that is really cool. EA spits out a lot of licenses but rarely do they ever go that extra mile like that. It comes to mind in the College Hoops series where 2K had every team and EA was always missing around 20. Not to say I don't enjoy EA games, but it's always felt like 2K put a little extra work into their features like these. Historical teams/modes are usually a tacked on thing, but 2K has made it very compelling here.

yall win 2k is the best bball gae ever and elite will never be better and yes i actually am gay
daley7199

Nice try. Not working
daley7199

Of course you will. YOUR sucking the dick right now.
laker24

Look I was all wrong. I really am a 2k nut hugger and 2k Ronnie and 2k Tercel are my butt buddies. I could never leave 2k for Elite no matter how much better Elite is. I pledge my love and allegiance to 2k for ever. They can charge me 100$ for this game and I will gladly play it. They can bend me over and jam that broken game all the way up my loose sphincter and I will moan happily. EA can never deliver the homoerotic feelings I get when I control those glistening virtual men.
laker24

dude if 2k says we need to play with generic players we just need to accept that. 2k is god man. They put so much effort into this game for us that we need to just chill on the negativity. We should worship the ground these guys walk on for giving us this spectacular basketball game. If I could I would have all of their babies. I am just beside myself with joy that 2k continues to give us fans what we want each year. We didn't want more stable online play. Who gives a damn about that. We didn't need to have the my player mode work on day one. We knew they would fix it. We all know that we really needed a Jordan's Moments. All I know is I want to drop to my knees and show Mike Wang what the Wang is all about……………wink wink
laker24

I LIKE SHEMALES TOO……so whats your point. I have to say you are making me wet with your strong manly predictions. I don't even know why EA bothers. We have Mike Wang now so we all know that 2k will be the best game ever. Dont even bother buying Madden people because NBA2k will even be better than that. Besides me and my butt buddies Tercel and Ronnie will be firing up our annual NFL2k5 league again. Please hit me up on my email Kobesbitch@yahoo.com. Please have your team choice ready. Kisses.
James

Lol True… the sales difference between the two games is going to be HUUUUUGE. Every casual basketball fan is going to want to “be like Mike”. This might be the year I'm going to have to preorder my copy to actually get it on release day.

Just wait till 2ks tv commercial drops… sales are going to skyrocket.
tha-biz

daley7199 needs to take his tongue out of EA's butt and take his midol… at this point from what iv heard and seen both games are sounding good but i have to give the edge to 2k11 right now with this new mode… we are yet to see what gameplay improvements are added but im sure it'll be better than last years version.

SIR ARE U GETTING DEFENSIVE ABOUT A GARBAGE ASS DEVELOPMENT TEAM THATS BEEN PRODUCING SHIT FOR YEARS?????
daley7199

besides, i really sound like this: “come here ea, let me deepthroat that for ya”
Dubcizzel

dude calm down. You make it seem like I slapped your mother across the face. How about you get a clue and realize that this is just a video game and nothing worth getting so defensive over. How is it not reminescent of the finished product? You're telling me they are just gonna throw something completely different out in a month and a half? Is the game completely polished? No. But to say it's not similar to what the game will look like is complete blindness. Same thing with all games. Early videos of 2K look A LOT like the final product. Early videos of Madden look A LOT like the final product. I'm not partial to either of these two companies. Just give me good basketball dude. If it makes you feel any better I will reword it. NBA Elite looks as if it might not appeal to me this year. Better?
Jnice

Real Talk 2K9 & 2K10 Really do feel exactly like 2K8 and the fact that the 2K servers let me down in 2K9 & 2K10 has me skeptacle of shelling out another 60 for un unfinished game. May just buy 2K8 and update the rosters if they dont come correct this year

Why doesn't nba 2k11 have summer circuit, training camp, or real play for your created player……………….COME ON DUDE!!!!!
Evan4893

Its been a dream come true. 2k10 had lots of classic players, but missed some stars like Spud Webb, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Michael Jordan. I had to do the create a player to put Jordan in the game and I cant wait to play as the real MJ! I hope he can dunk from the free throw line.
Evan4893

I also hope they have classic rosters of the Lakers and Celtics with Kobe and his old afro and Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson
thatguy123

how bout reggie miller challege vs the knicks
Jwood0130

the only thing missing from nba 2k11 so far is the Dream Team. and the international basketball court. Maybe including Dream Team 2. and including john stockton on the 90 west. charles barkley.shawn kemp etc. all stars. on the east inlcude mark price penny hardaway.reggie miller.etc include these guys.and the real 3 point shootout./slam dunk contest all star weekend i hope this can fowarded to nba 2k11 studios and they can add these ideas for the perfect game.any one with contacts to the nba 2k studios please acknowledge these ideas. from Jor-nay from VA.
Clarkeric1822

2k makes great games point blank….Ea steals dam near everything from 2k so what if its like a madden moment but with jordan …ea first of all got that idea well stole that idea from espn 2k5 it was just called espn 25th anniv. they even stole the …highlight stick thats not new at all in espn 2k5 they just didnt name it..lead passing as well all that was with 2k back on dream cast it was just called “maximum passing” . 2k has better graphis and gameplay all around …..o btw were is that nut ass nba live ? those graphis and gameplay was and still will be horrible. Ea in my theory is just like a pack of smokes you know its bad but you buy it anyway.
Clarkeric1822

I hope they also get the rights to the nba or do they already have it??
