Question

Why is michael jordan no longer part of the nba live roster games ?

Answer 1

i was thinking the same thing in nba live 2005 i check the 90 all stars and i didnt see him i was like what the h**l

Answer 2

$$$$$

-Jordan wasn't even in some of the games in the 90's, I know he wasnt on NBA JAM 95' (sega genesis) and a couple other's. As a matter of fact, he wasnt on any of the NBA Jam games, but it was rumored that their was a MJ code.

-The guy had his own game, I rember playing the game "Jordan v.s. Bird" in the late 80's/early 90's on Nintendo.

Answer 3

Well, you can get him in NBA Live 03-04. He's in the ASG East Team

Answer 4

One reason. NIKE owns him.

Answer 5

I was thinking the exact same thing! It's so stupid, he's probably way to good for the games. I hate that though!

Answer 6

Because he is the Legend of all the Legends in the NBA..

Answer 7

Because Michael Jordan is a greedy man who demands that EA must pay him $$$$$$$$ to include his likeness in the game. EA said s***w you Jordan and not include him in any NBA Live game since NBA Live 2004.

Answer 8

If you aren't playing in the NBA, they can't put you in NBA Live.

Answer 9

LOl @ EA still creating a character in those game that had the same attributes as Mike but named dude "Roster Player". I would always just edit his name and number to Michael Jordan.  But, he become available in NBA Live 2002 I think as a Wizard which was cool.

Answer 10

ummmmmm NBA LIVE

Answer 11

Micheal Jordan is a part owner/ team president for the Charlotte Hornets and owners cant be in video games

Answer 12

Something about his contract or he is not part of the NBA Players Associations or Leauge or something like that. I read about it before but forgot the exact reason but I remeber that it has something to do with the legality of putting him in the game but I don't remeber if it was because of one of his endorsement deals or because he wasn't part of the players leauge but it's definately contractural in origin. They never put him in NBA Jam either.
