I'm on my phone so I can't post the pics but they're on Operationsports main page. Not sure why they have them on seperate covers, would be way better if they were all three together.

Jordan's involvement with NBA 2K12 is part of a multi-year partnership the publisher arranged with the basketball icon.

The special artwork was created by Adam Larson, who has worked with Coca-Cola, ESPN, Nike and the Black Eyed Peas.

Argent says 2K is "working on a potential solution" for consumers who buy a copy of NBA 2K12 with one cover but want to collect the other two versions.

Argent also adds details will be available soon on how Jordan, Bird and Magic will be incorporated into this year's release.

In NBA 2K11, players could relive classic moments from Jordan's career through the Jordan Challenge. Once all those were completed, the game unlocked the MJ: Creating a Legend mode, allowing players to take a rookie Jordan and place him on any current NBA roster.

"The features that you saw last year that had such an impact with the fans," says Argent. "We've looked at things that will continue to evolve that experience."

Just thought about it..Jordan was probably like no way I'm sharing the cover with those guys.

I bet us in the UK only get the Jordan version. I don't really care too much but I'd like the Magic one.

**Porn Player** · 07-21-2011, 08:55 AM

I'd like the Bird one. Especially if the set up will be Bird orientated with mini missions and the like.

I'm guessing no matter what the cover, you'll still get all 3's matches or whatever.

**Basel** · 07-21-2011, 10:25 AM

Can't wait to have that Magic cover.

**Dre** · 07-21-2011, 12:09 PM

The Jordan mode was dope last year but I think it's time to get back to active players. I don't know how it could compare. Then again they probably thought this was necessary with the lockout

**R-Star** · 07-21-2011, 12:26 PM

Should have been Reggie Miller.

It'd be awesome if there was a Larry Bird and Magic Johnson mode like the MJ one. More kudos to these legends the better especially video game-wise.

**Floods** · 07-21-2011, 11:38 PM

Hopefully they include a lot more historical players. Around the whole league, not just on the respective teams of these three guys.

I need Penny and I need prime AI. If they can do that cool

My thinking on this is that the ultimate would be to feature different seasons each year - retro seasons. So for one with these 3 all close to their peaks would be 86/87. Then the next year you could have a season where Shaq - Hakeem - Ewing - DRob were all putting up numbers - 93/94.

I do realise the amount of legwork this would require with getting players signoffs probably isn't logistical, but it'd be brilliant.

I'm gonna cop the Magic cover for sure.

Yeah I'd assume it's because of the lockout as well.
