I'm always impressed with how good NBA games look, but not so much with this one.

The marketing for this game has simply been bizarre. I get the common fan today loves Michael but unless you're screwing around in Play Now he'll never be on the court.
 
Or maybe there will be some kind of online mode where you can have a team of five Michael Jordans. Playing against five other Michael Jordans.

They need some cloth tesselation technology.
 
And I want the next NBA game to be on the Cryengine.

I'm torn because Michael Jordan is great, but they could have used all that money from licensing and advertising to fix all the janky ass bugs instead.
 
I couldn't even get through more than one season of my player mode because it always froze at the start of the next season.

I'm going to cry inside when they make LeBron have better stats than MJ since he's "The King"

With the inclusion of his Airness, there better be a Space Jam mode here.

I hate the whole he is the 'greatest of all time" crap. Jordan was great, Def top 5, but he isnt the greatest, Magic/Bird were much better(esp as far as the 'game' of basketball goes), Jordan just took what they built on and took it to another level

and his arm better stretch from at least half court with 6 seconds left in the game.

It's not like it was an either or situation. I'm sure the bugs have been cleaned up as well. 
 
And for the people that don't get why this is a big deal: Michael Jordan hasn't been in a basketball game since NBA Street Volume 2. Just the fact that he'll be officially recognized again in a modern basketball game (like he should have been all along) is exciting.

Agreed. Haven't bough a b-ball game in like 5 years. Time to dive in again.

Oh please.  Jordan was better than Magic and Bird in their prime.  No question.

...The animation looks straight-up not good. What's that about? What's worse, is it looked bad in the first angle, and then when it restarted in angle-two, it looked shittier.
 
Hopefully it's just the slow-mo and it'll look better at full speed. I'm anxious to jump into a basketball game again; it's been four years.

That means that he's better than them.

Here's hoping this can erase my memory of using him in the early NBA2K games on Dreamcast when he was playing on the Wizards.

Shouldn't Jordan be in a suit signing paychecks for Charlotte Bobcats players?
