Eric from spawnkill.com takes an in depth look at the decision made by 2K to use Jordon for the cover of NBA 2K11. The article highlights some interesting comments made by 2K developers that bring up some concerns for the upcoming title. Find out why he thinks NBA 2K11 will have the same issues as NBA 2K10.

There’s no doubting the fact that NBA 2K10 was a financial success last year, and for the most part was also a critical success. But what a lot of gamers found out about 2K10 right when they started playing the game was that it was full of technical problems. Was this expected? To some, yes. 2K Sports hasn’t had the greatest track record when it comes to polish and online play, but even the NBA 2K vets were shocked at how buggy the game was. So when the new cover was announced it got me thinking, was this just a way to make the game stand-out on the store shelves, or was this 2K’s way of saying “Hey, we’re sorry for last year, we have Jordon now and he’s cool right? This year is going to be totally different I promise. Isn’t Jordon awesome?” and then still give us a buggy game?
