2K Sports announced a few weeks back that basketball legend Michael Jordan would not only be gracing the cover of NBA 2K11, but that he would be appearing in the game in some form as well. Today, 2K revealed one of the ways his royal airness will be incorporated into this year’s game, and it’s called the Jordan Challenge.
The Jordan-inspired mode gives players the chance to try to replicate 10 of Jordan’s most legendary games like the 69-point beat down of the Cleveland Cavaliers from the 1990 season, and the Chicago Bulls victory over the Utah Jazz in game six of the 1997 finals.
There will be a number of classic teams available for play in the game too, including seven of the best Bulls squads ranging from 1985 to 1998.
I’m still pulling for an all-Jordan team or a team comprised of various types of Jordans (White Sox Jordan, Charlotte Bobcats owners Jordan, golfer Jordan, etc.), but I guess most “reasonable” and “appropriate” Jordan representations will have to do. Actually, I’d love to see a Jordan career mode that follows him from his North Carolina days through to his last game with the Washington Wizards. Or at least give me a “nothing but net”-HORSE-style mini-game with Larry Bird. That’d be sweet, right?
Should the need arise, feel free to E-Mail me your tips, suggestions, and/or personal philosophies, or follow me on Twitter.

An MJ career mode actually is a really cool idea. During his first retirement, though, you'd have to play on the toon squad to defeat the MonStars.

i hope they have more than one version of mj in the game. they should have an mj from the 80's, one from the early 90's, and one from the mid to late 90's.

this is actually a return of mj to the 2k series. he appeared on the first two games when it was exclusive to the dreamcast. charles barkley, much like mj,is missing on most of nba video games. he also was on the early 2k games. they both were on the 80's and 90's teams. speaking of that, i wish they would start back having rosters of all the former greats. that would be the best we could do to match them against the newer stars of the league.

if your able to use jordan online, i can imagine all the jockriders that will be using jordan. It would be every other game im sure, if not 4 out of 5 online games.

Nice that they are giving the old school players some props. Would love to see the Phx Suns with Barkley and the Showtime Lakers.
