After taking over the basketball game market with NBA 2K10, 2K Games is back with another installment of its hit franchise. NBA 2K11 ‘s poster boy is the world’s greatest basketball legend, Michael Jordan himself. NBA 2K11 is covering not only the development of the previous part, but also a full-fledged “game-nostalgia about Jordan.” Time Machine takes us to the memorable moments of his career – his first steps at the highest level.

As a reward for completing various in-game milestones, players of NBA 2K11 will receive pairs of Air Jordans that Michael wore during his career, with each of them boosting specific attributes.

NBA 2K11 is the next best thing to MJ coming out of retirement and getting 15 years younger

In each game, you will need to perform certain tasks and to meet (or surpass) the historical statistics to earn the right [although virtually] to feel in his role. “Players will have the opportunity to feel how hard it was to get everything” – said Vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, Jason Argent.

What’s even more interesting – under control of the players will be not only Jordan, but some of the famous Chicago Bulls players from the 80′s and 90′s and other famous teams of the past. Description of the three matches The Jordan Challenge:

- 1990 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers – Jordan scored 69 points, Chicago Bulls won 117-113 in overtime

- 1992 NBA Finals – the first game against the Portland Trail Blazers. In the first half Jordan scored 35 points, scoring six three-pointers

- 1997 NBA Finals – «Flu Game”. Jordan played despite a fever and dehydration of the stomach, gaining 38 points and scoring a decisive three-pointer at the last minute. It was a decisive victory over the Utah Jazz.

Reduced the overall speed of the game as compared to NBA 2K10 makes you think even harder. Increased physical struggle – frisky breakthroughs attacking defenders gave way to active shoving under the basket.

Aesthetically the game is beautiful – it contains deft camerawork, spectacular replays, interesting close-ups which are excellent for the benefit of the entertainment. In such moments the game makes an admiring, showing a decent graphics (especially the light failed, a model of basketball players and the fans filling the stands even in the course of the meeting) and animation (many players are easily recognizable by a unique, signature movements).

“If you haven’t yet understood that NBA 2K11 is THE most impressive team sport game of the moment, there’s nothing more I can do for you. It’s more comprehensive than ever; more refined in terms of atmosphere, animations, possibilities; to sum it up, we had never seen that before. The added bonus of Michael Jordan being included in the game is the cherry on the cake. You need this basket simulator.” – Gameblog.fr

IGN’s Cheif Editor Hilary Goldstein and G4tv’s Mike D’Alonzo called it not only the best basketball game of all time, but also the best sports game of this generation, which means it’s a title that truly lives up to Michael Jordan’s fame and is more than worthy of having the biggest basketball legend of all time on the cover. 2K Games representatives proudly reported that their new basketball simulator game surpassed the previous part series on the rate of sales,  so buy NBA 2K11 today.
