NBA 2K12 cover art to feature Jordan, Bird, Magic

[QUOTE=cteach111]I don't like Bird's cover. They shoulda went with his younger years when he had shaggy hair look. That's being kinda picky i guess, but w/e.[/QUOTE]

I agree. Same with Magic, they should have went with his 80s "Goatee" look as well (his beard combined with his "Magic" nickname just go together). However to be fair, they [I]did[/I] use a "Past His Prime" 35 year old MJ, so I guess 2k is staying consistent.

Can't wait till we have the ability to change beards and hairstyles on [I]every[/I] player, not just the created ones. (96 MJ even rocked a goatee for a few months If I remember correctly).

Edit: Not to mention the ability to change up Rodman's hair color and art design from game to game as well.
Oh, and "Goatee" Scottie Pippen is the Illest (no homo). Need that option in there too.

I'm kind of curious about that one. There's reports the '02 Kings will be one of two teams (the other being the '91 Warriors) available to be unlocked by preordering 2K12. If the '02 Kings are available, I'd have to imagine there might be a classic Lakers team in there somewhere too. Unfortunately, Bryant chopped the hair a little bit by '02, didn't he? Regardless, it'd be awfully cool to re-live that Lakers/Kings matchup.

Yeah he got it cut a little bit after the '02 season started. I'm just tired of him looking like a black alien skinhead in the game :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Eat Like A Bosh]Nice job Psing it.

But Magic and Bird's should've used a different background color.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. that's beautiful work Pleeze Behave. Dare I say your Art work is better than PleezeBelieve's rhyming abilities..........[COLOR="White"] I Kid, well kinda[/COLOR] :oldlol:

Thanks, I didn't do much though. Just changed the color because I felt it didn't look right to have red backdrops behind Magic and Bird.

:applause: Wow, nice work man. You should send those in to 2k, drop 'm in their ideabox (if they have one), or post them on their forums. Much better than the original ones.

I agree, but I think 2K went all red for a reason (kind of). It matches their 2K logo color and the idea was not to confuse consumers too much by offering three different colored versions of the same game (so as not to insinuate there were three different playing versions).

I don't think it'd be that confusing though. I'd much prefer those color schemes above.

[QUOTE=MeLO MvP 15]I'm hoping for Shaq and AI (seperate) versions in a few years. But if they add more to the Jordan Challenge type mode, most likely making it a Historic Challenge Mode... it would just be awesome.[/QUOTE]

im thinkin if bird gets a challenge mode, then we might see the old school 80s rockets in this game. i hope barkley's suns make it in the game also. i havent seen charles barkley in a 2k game since nba 2k6.
