NBA 2k12

2K Sports, a company developing highly awaited game  NBA 2k12, decided to put three legendary players on the front covers of the game. Along with Michael Jordan, there will be also 1980s stars Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

Last year, Jordan was the cover athlete for 2K's NBA game, which sold more than 5 million units. Jordan also worked closely with the game's developers for last year's game, providing his input on details such as a player's shot technique.

Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, said the three covers for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be shipped in equal numbers to each retail location in the U.S. He said all other platform versions and non-U.S. locations will only get the Jordan cover.

"NBA 2K12" will be available on October 4, 2011, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii and PC.
