NBA 2K12 getting three covers featuring Jordan, Bird and Johnson

 

2K Sports has announced NBA 2K12 will offer three separate covers featuring Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

 

The covers will spotlight each legendary player on his famous team: the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers, respectively. The covers featuring Bird and Johnson will be available at launch in a limited quantity.

 

NBA 2K11, which featured Michael Jordan as the cover athlete, sold over 5 million units worldwide and garnered over 20 video game accolades, including 14 Sports Game of the Year honors, according to 2K.

 

“Bringing Michael Jordan to the virtual hardwood last year was a huge success for NBA 2K11; however, we didn’t want to stop there,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “We’re bringing ‘His Airness’ back to the NBA 2K franchise as part of a multi-year extended partnership, along with two other legendary icons – Larry Bird and Magic Johnson – for a special cover athlete collection representing the NBA’s greatest heroes.”

 

NBA 2K12 can now be pre-ordered from retailers nationwide, and will be available on October 4 for PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360.

2K Sports introduces NBA's Greatest mode for NBA 2K12

 

NBA 2K11 drew mass-market attention by putting Michael Jordan on its cover, but his appearance on the box highlighted the mode that sold many gamers on the title: "The Jordan Challenge," in which players could relive ten classic moments from Jordan's storied career (both as #23 and as #45). This year, 2K Sports is expanding that history lesson with 14 additional NBA legends in the "NBA's Greatest" mode in NBA 2K12. So far, that includes the three cover athletes -- Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson -- as well as Julius "Dr. J" Erving and Kareem "Roger Murdock" Abdul-Jabbar.

 

As you complete this year's 15 challenges (one for each NBA great), you'll unlock the teams involved for use in the game -- and that's against any available team. Argent talked about the mode as a way to fuel and settle the age-old debates that every sports fan has participated in, the ones in which people claim that today's champions couldn't hold a candle to the legendary teams of yore (or vice versa).

 

2K isn't stopping at revisiting the classic moments themselves, or merely the teams and players that participated in them. They're recreating the look and feel of the experiences in the game, right down to the pre-1990s NBA fashion style (i.e., short shorts and long socks). When playing an NBA's Greatest moment that originally took place in the 1980s, it will look in NBA 2K12 like a television broadcast from that era, complete with old-school camera angles and rudimentary statistical overlays. Venues are in, too; if Larry Bird's challenge is a home game, it will go down at the old Boston Garden. This all took "a lot of work," said Argent, but it was a "labor of love" for 2K.

 

NBA 2K12 is set for release on October 4, 2011. Let's bring out those debates in the comments: who, do you think, are the other ten NBA legends included in NBA's Greatest?
