Jordan Challenge highlights Michael Jordans career in NBA 2K11

For the past month you have probably been wondering why Michael Jordan was chosen to grace the cover of NBA 2K11. Today we know why, 2K Sports announced that there will be a Jordan Challenge mode according to G4TV. The mode allows you to play as Jordan and the Bulls to recreate 10 of his airness’ most memorable moments in NBA history.

You will have to lead the Chicago Bulls to victory over the Utah Jazz in game 6 of the 1997 NBA finals 90 to 86 for the championship. Despite playing as Jordan and having Scottie Pippen as a sidekick you will still have to overcome Hall of Famers John Stockton and Karl Malone. I wonder if Jordan will have slightly reduced attributes for this game as he was still recovering from the flu?

In a 1990 game you have to play as Jordan and score 69 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That was Jordan’s highest scoring game of his career with the bulls barely winning 117-113.

In addition to the Jordan Challenge there will be 7 classic Chicago Bulls teams to play as from the Jordan era between 1985 and 1998.

Could this be a new era for 2K Sports by taking a former great and coming out with a new challenge mode each year? Who would you like to see next? My vote is for Larry Bird or to make a mode where you have to play as the Lebron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers and make sure to win the MVP every season as well as leading your team to the best record without ever winning a championship.
