NBA 2K12 Covers Get A Hefty Dose Of Magic

None

The next installment in 2K’s annual NBA franchise, 2K12 will be represented by not one, but three past NBA all-stars. Michael Jordan is back, and he’s brought with him Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. All three stars will be getting their own cover. While discussing the decision to bring three renowned figures from the NBA, 2K Sports’ VP of Marketing Jason Argent said “We wanted to bring Michael Jordan back, but even if we wanted to do something different, I don’t think we could have. So our goal was bringing Michael Jordan back, but then, how do you take it up a notch?”



Taking three of the top basketball players of all-time and slapping each of them on your game’s box art is a pretty great idea. Not only are these players known to younger fans, they also have wide appeal to older audiences as well, like those who watched the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the 1980s.

On top of that, even gamers who might not necessarily be interested in the NBA franchise will have no choice but to stop and stare at the eye-grabbing box art.
