Placing Michael Jordan on the cover of their yearly release is something 2K Sports would only really ever be able to do once, so it needs to be as close to perfect as possible. When the cover announcement was first announced this past June, it seemed almost too bold a move.

Air Jordan, His Airness, The G.o.a.t, MJ, Mike whatever you call him, the name means one thing. Greatness. All throughout the 80's and 90's when you played, watched, dreamed or even thought about basketball there was always a tinge of Michael Jordan, whether it be from the shoes to the bald head to...

NBA 2k11 has really improved from 2K10 with its great online features and the reason why i play this is because of its FLAWLESS My Player mode. I also love the great late game moments. My only concern was the Jordan challenge. It was extremely hard to finish it!

I give this one 5 stars and a "must buy" status if you are a basketball fan. Even if you aren't, it is worth a look simply to enjoy some of the most sparkling sports gameplay of recent times ... and for the faithful reproductions of MJ, the Bulls and some vintage NBA players and teams.

NBA2k11 is just simple the best basketball game ever made, period. Not sure why gamespot gave it only an 8 because if you read the user reviews and other player reviews it is at least a 9/10, if not a 9.5 The AI has improved greatly compared to other games, now you can't just do the same movements...

Based on the marketing thus far, you'd be forgiven if you thought NBA 2K11 was just a gushy love letter to Michael Jordan. Well, it definitely is that, but there is a lot more here than just a tribute to his Airness. The A.I. has been greatly improved. The presentation is better.

With EA Sports thankfully canceling NBA Elite , 2K Sports has a monopoly on this year's basketball sims. This is actually a good thing because NBA 2K11 is quite honestly the best single player basketball simulation to date.

With some key gameplay changes and the addition of Michael Jordan, NBA 2k11 proves to be a great experience

This game really was a big let down for me, and it took me several hours of frustrating gameplay to nail down what bothered me so much about it. I'm a long standing fan of the NBA Live series, but thought I would give 2k 11 a chance.

Last month I ordered this game for my husband and he loves it can't keep him from playing it he want me to order different kinds of basketball games so he can play I will since Christmas is right around the corner come on this website cheap
