How to Create Jordan for NBA Live 08 on the PS3

The PlayStation 3's "NBA Live 08" is Electronic Arts' 2008 iteration of their long-running pro basketball sports simulation series. The game features a roster of pro basketball players taken from the 2008 ranks of the NBA. However, due to the series' focus on currently-drafted ball players, one basketball legend is missing from the game's roster: Michael Jordan. If you want to bring Jordan into the 2008 game, do so through the "Create a Player" feature.

Instructions

- 1
  Select "Create-a-Player" mode from the main menu of "NBA Live 08."
- 2
  Set the player's name to "Michael Jordan." Jordan's height and weight during his pro basketball days were 6'6" and 216 lbs respectively, so enter these figures into the relevant sections.
- 3
  Set Jordan's "College" to the University of North Carolina, and leave his "Handedness" set to "Right."
- 4
  Enter the facial editor and choose Facewith Facial Hair #3 for a convincing likeness of Jordan.
- 5
  Allocate the player's strengths to mirror Jordan's. Give a high priority to "Dunks" and "Jumps" as these were Jordan's signature play. "Dribbling," "Field Goals" and "Off Awareness" should be high also; take points out of "3 Pointers," "Off Rebounds" and "Blocking," areas in which Jordan's proficiency was less noted.
- 6
  Choose "Save Player." When it comes time to assign Jordan, draft him to the Chicago Bulls, jersey.
