NBA 2k12 will have 3 covers: One for Jordan, one for Magic, one for Bird

Here's a link to see the three covers

Looks pretty great. The game's set to come out October 4th and I'll probably be getting the Jordan cover one on release day.

Looks really nice. I won't buy limited edition so I guess Jordan again for me.

honestly, i like the actual covers, but i wish they could all be limited edition. Why not put a current player on it?? i know they were some ofthe greatest ever, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt let some great players we have today have a shot

I think this mean we'll get to play memorable moments in Magic's and Bird's too in the next one. Sounds cool.

This looks like a crossover move, they should have really good ball handlers in this cover if thats the case

my suggestions - Allen Iverson, Tim Hardaway, Pistol Pete Maravich.

I like my homophobic athletes as much as anyone. But yeah, it would look like a step down coming right after MJ.

Im just saying if your going to have a cover looking like a crossover move they should put ai or tim because they obviously are the best to break opponents down lol. get what im saying?

Uhh nothing against Jordan, I just like some varity on my covers.

And for those saying that they can't go back to a current player after a Jordan cover, well how do you expect them to go back after like 3 or 4 years with HoFs on the cover. Its a lose lose situation. In actuality, the situation actually worsens the higher the pedestral is built.

Dude I get your point but thats a terrible example. Hardaway would never get a cover deal. I don't think it would be that damaging to feature Dirk on the 2k12 cover after Jordan's 2k11. I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't care either.

[QUOTE="Darth_Revan_666"]

[QUOTE="TH1Sx1SxSPARTA"] how lame would that look if the year after they have the greatest player of all-time on, they put..... Tim Hardaway on the cover lmaorealistic44

First off, they should of used current players. I don't really care for the "legends" or whatever, as I want players on the cover that are actually relevant in today's society. Second off, why are they using Jordan again? 2K11 as a whole was based around him, so I don't understand why they didn't use someone else instead of putting him on the cover yet again. At least they give you two other options though.

I know lot's of people are huge fans of Jordan, but just because he was arguably the greatest NBA player of all time doesn't mean he should be on the cover two years in a row.

This. If someone doesn't really know much about Jordan Magic and Bird then I really doubt they'll even be thinking about buying NBA 2k12 in the first place.

I'll get the Bird cover.

I can deal with having "new" legends on the cover like Bird and Johnson, but I don't know why they have to put MJ on the cover yet again. I get it, he's the best basketball player in the history of the NBA. That being said, there are a lot of other famous players they could have put on the cover instead.

And another thing, what I mean by "relevant" was more along the lines of a lot of people want to see their current favorite players on game covers, just like how Madden does it. Contrary to what some people believe, not everyone is in love with MJ and all other other "greats."

Completely different situation.

I don't like them. Too much blur, and the lightening on the Magic cover is downright corny.monkeytoes61

I think that the NBA 2k games should focus a little more on the crowd. If it a blowout in the 4th quarter then you should be able to see people evacuating the arena. Just little innovative stuff like that. I mean its stupid when every seat in the house is taken and I've been beating the home team by 20+ since the 3rd quarter.

Following that notion, they could also make some stadiums louder than others. We all know Heat fans are the loudest. :P

Michael Jordan on the cover will always help sell more copies. Thats why.

Yeah that's true. If anything the announcers tend to show a lot of intensity and emotion during buzzer beaters at the end of quarters and stuff. Game winning shots just go straight over their heads.

Yeah if they need an example of fans leaving, they should just take a look at Game 6 of the finals. Spellingiscool

Dude. That wasn't at all witty.

I think i'm going to have to go with the Larry Bird cover, the other covers look great, but M.J was just on it for 2K11 and a laker player was on 2K10.G-CITY8

Dude, you maybe right about that. It seems like everyone that lives in Florida is from another place. Like if you ask a person where they used to live they'll tell you NY or CA like 75% of the time it seems. Nobody wants to represent Florida lol. Strange since its a nice place to live. I'm one of the only Floridians that take pride in representing FL. :lol:

Either way your statement was still not witty.
