NBA 2K11 (Michael Jordan rumor)
- Thread starter mrtonguetwista
- Start date
CONFIRMED
As first outed by ESPN last week, basketball hall of famer Michael Jordan is coming out of retirement again, this time to feature on the cover of 2K Sports' NBA 2K11. Jason Argent, the label's VP of marketing, confirmed the deal to CNBC today, saying that, "Actually getting this done is the most ridiculous win of all-time."
The original ESPN report noted that Jordan -- and even some of his former teammates -- would likely be playable in the game, but Argent had nothing to offer CNBC on that front, other than to say players can expect "some really good surprises." However, in the same article, Jordan is quoted in a statement as saying, "I'm looking forward to getting back out on the court, virtually."

2K Sports revealed The Jordan Challenge today, a mode that will challenge players to torch the Cavaliers for 69 points in 1990, dismantle the Jazz in Game 6 of the 1997 finals, or play Jordan's final game as a Chicago Bull on June 14, 1998.
"Fans of the series are going to be thrilled to know that in NBA 2K11 Michael Jordan is much, much more than just a cover athlete," said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. "We're excited to start talking about the ways that Michael will be used in the game and there's still a lot more to come."
In addition to the Jordan Challenge mode, gamers will be able to take the helm of some of the greatest Bulls team in the franchise's history, including the '85-'86, '89-'90, '90-'91, '94-'95, '95-'96, '96-'97, and '97-'98 squads.
NBA 2K11 is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Windows PCs. The game is set to ship on October 5
