The signing of Michael Jordan for the cover of NBA 2k11 was huge, and most gamers thought and hoped that he would have a playable likeness in the upcoming title. Today those hopes have been answered with a
confirmation, with NBA 2k11 getting a "Jordan Mode".
What exactly is "Jordan Mode"? Keep on reading below to get the first details revealed on the new mode.
The Jordan Challenge will focus on 10 games from the Chicago Bulls legend's playing days. Each game will include a series of statistical goals players must complete as his Airness.
"(Players) will get a chance to feel how hard it was to actually achieve what he did," says Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for game publisher 2K Sports.
Gamers will not only control Jordan, but some of the classic Bulls teams of the '80s and '90s. The games have been recreated to authentically mirror the appearance of arenas and players from that era.
Among the Jordan highlights featured:
-- 1990 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers. Jordan scored a career high 69 points in an 117-113 overtime win.
-- 1992 NBA Finals. In Game 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers, Jordan scored 35 points in the first half, draining a record six 3-pointers.
-- 1997 NBA Finals. Battling a stomach virus, Jordan scored 38 points in a pivotal Game 5 victory against the Utah Jazz.
Amongst the "Jordan Mode", 2K says that additional modes including or involving Jordan will be revealed a little closer to the launch. What do you think about the Jordan Mode for NBA 2k11? Be sure to leave us a comment below, or sound off in our
