More details on Jordan Challenge (OS)

[Andrew]

Revealed in a post by Da_Czar here. Of note, the historical teams will feature era-specific playbooks and MJ himself will represent his development across the span of the Challenge in terms of his abilities, playing style and appearance.

A reliable source informed me that if you just want to take one of Jordan's Bulls teams into Association mode, it should not be a problem.

[Andrew]

Yes, if I do an Association that might have to be my plan instead of the current Bulls. A bit hard to do an Association thread without getting a bit silly and diving into the realms of science fiction, but might be something to do on the side.

[shadowgrin]

My options would be (in order):
1) 1989-90 Pistons - just try to kill or hurt every team with the Bad Boys.
2) 1985-86 Celtics - just so Larry Legend could humiliate every player today (at least in the game).
3) 1995-96 Sonics - 'what could have been' with The Glove and The Reignman.

Ima try to steal the show with Pippen - oh wait - that would not really gimme a chance to complete the mode. Whatever, Pippen rocks

[Andrew]

So long as you meet the set requirements, no reason you can't go above and beyond and give Pippen some big performances at the same time.

That's where we need the Challenges to include the game from the 1996 season where the Bulls beat the Pacers with MJ scoring 44 and Pip adding 40 of his own, becoming the ninth pair of teammates to score 40+ in the same game. And while we're at it, all the other teams from the 1996 season so we can replay the whole year in Association Mode.

That All-Star game where Jordan made the record of having the first triple-double for an ASG.

[Andrew]

Pastapadre suggested the possibility that more Challenges might be made available via DLC.

That was the 97 all-star game.

My first NLSC association will definetely be with 96 Bulls!

I second that!

I think they should include the three dunk contests he participated in as some sort of mini-game or something.

They always have the little Slam Dunk Contest mode; might as well revamp it.
