Q: Hey Dan, I just have a couple questions about NBA Courtside:
1) Will Jordan be in it?
2) Will he be white? -(Big mistake Konami)
3) Since you played it already, is the simulation as good as NBA Live?
-Thanks

A: Jordan is not in Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside at all. There is a generic player in his spot on the Bulls' roster. Jordan opted out of the Player's Association so he is not available with that license. With the Player Editor, you can create a player that might perform like Michael, but Michael's likeness is not in the game. In my opinion, NBA Courtside is a better game than NBA Live. The play control is smoother and more responsive. The simulation mode seems to make the best players have the best stats.

Michael Jordan: Chaos In The Windy City

I don't know what EA was thinking when they made this game, but they did a good job. The story goes: Dr. Max Crainium has kidnapped MJ's teammates and placed them in the Chicago sewers. You must find them and then catch Cranium. You have an assorted choice of basketballs to choose from (fire, ice, boomerang and a few other cool balls). There are different monsters through out the game. The worst thing about this game is that you have to start at the beginning of a stage if you get a game over.
