The Jordan One is Sexy…Interesting why they pick these three but I know its still going to be in My PS3 when it comes out.
Like you said though Dirk and D-Rose could have gotten some love though

Those look sick but i think it might have been better if it was just Larry and Magic, seeing how MJ was on the last one.

  Live should have turned into Elite for last season, but there were problems with the game.
  So, who knows if EA is working on one for this or next seasons game.

I was saying it should have been Magic And Larry before to replace jordan and now they put Magic,Larry AND Jordan! Sick cover.. They’re smart though. Separating them you know people are gonna want to buy all 3 of the covers.

Nice covers. I’m a huge MJ fan, but I liked Magic’s cover the best. Something about seeing a textbook hook shot. I think they should have just went Bird and Magic, but you can’t really complain about a return of Jordan. The covers also make sense with the lockout. I guarantee they could not have used any of the current players in their current Jersey’s on the cover. If the season is cancelled or delayed, I bet they get real creative. Might have to just pay individual players and give fake team names and coaches.
As far as Dirk. He doesn’t seem to care much for the spotlight. With that said, I would take any of those 3 over him any day of the week on the cover. These 3 are on another planet entirely as far as basketball skill and ability.

MJ will definetly sell more, but I think they should give Magic a try as the only cover boy, I hate when the same guy is on the cover multiple times, they had Shaq and AI on it like..atleast 3x each..

I was actually wondering whether or not there would be a game on time this year seeing as though right now no players are tied in with the NBA. So how is the NBA gonna make money off it’s players?

Is it just me or does the Magic cover with the red background and the Bird cover with the red background look pretty horrible? I’d rather see yellow with Magic and green with Bird.

They couldn’t pick any current NBA players with no CBA, so they had to go with Legends. I love the Magic/Bird idea…and of course you can never go wrong with MJ.
All sick covers…I gotta go with the Magic one though.

A lot of people are making suggestions for other people and some of them are great, but let me repeat, Magic, MJ and Bird. Those are 3 of the top 10 of all time. You’re not getting anything any better, especially when compared to current players. Personally, I didn’t expect 2K to step their game up like this with a lockout, but I guess they wanted to bury EA and make sure no one forgets about their great games.
