When you have to secure rights for each player individually that is not apart of the players association and negotiate a price to PAY them. Yes it is well outside the realm of possibility. LOL its not easy fam. There is no retired persons phone directory or some type 3rd party bargaining system where you can show someone they are not worth as much as they think.

It takes a ton of work and some people just flat out want too much money to get everybody in the game.

I'd have to say the NFL and NHL were much better back then, too.

Hmm...I went to Gamestop today to preorder my copy and told the guy I wanted the 360 version with Jordan on the cover and he didn't say I couldn't reserve that specific cover.

I don't think the people at gamestop has got all the information regarding that yet. At the same time, He didn't guarantee you would get the Jordan one right? Don't count on it.

I do understand that, and frankly, If we could just get a grand editing tool... the PC guys have it... we'd be all set


That said, LOL@ someone thinking an nba player is mad because they arent on the cover of a video game man

C'mon son!!!

I think you can count on getting the Jordan one. The way I take it, the Jordan cover will be in an abundant supply so there's nothing to worry about. I don't think it's shipping 1/3 Mike, 1/3, Magic, and 1/3 Larry; how could it, if the Magic and Bird covers are the ones releasing in limited supply? I'm just making up numbers here, but this is what it seems like your local Gamestop will be getting:

Jordan cover: 200 copies
Magic cover: 50 copies
Bird cover: 50 copies

Again, just made those numbers up, but I wanted to illustrate what I thought--that you actually can count on getting the Jordan cover. It's in LA and Boston where I think you may need to worry about the cover you get. I see you pre-ordering the game, then on pick-up you tell 'em which one you want--if you say MJ, I don't think you got anything to worry about.
