“Michael’s last appearance in a video game was in 2004..."
"As all true NBA video game fans know, to be able to actually play with Jordan in the game would be an impressive feat. As Rovell notes, “Due to a licensing agreement he had with the NBA, his rights weren’t part of the group licensing agreement that included all the other players—meaning his likeness didn’t automatically appear in many games while he was playing.” The last game that Jordan was a playable character in was NBA Street Vol. 2, while he is an unlockable character in NBA 2K10."
I never knew for a fact why Jordan was never in NBA video game but I knew it had to do something with likeness licensing. The fact that he had some special agreement that excluded him from the rest...there will never be another Michael Jordan.
