NLSC Podcast ·

2025/01/07

Now that 2025 is underway and NBA 2K25 has been out for a few months, what are our ultimate thoughts on the game? This week, we join the community in giving NBA 2K25 a final score, and running down the pros and cons following ample time on the sticks. We also reflect on the unwritten house rules that we employ in our multiplayer basketball gaming sessions, and react to a bewildering story about a former top draft pick not knowing their basketball history.

2024/12/17

What is the best sim basketball video game to date? This week, we join the community in nominating the title that has achieved the most realism on the virtual hardwood, and also reflect once again on what it means to be sim. Following up on last week's show, we also discuss even more madness with three-pointers in the NBA, as teams continue to brick treys and drive away hardcore hoop heads who are desperate for a better product.

NLSC Podcast #558: Does The NBA Have A Three-Point...

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/12/10

Are three-pointers actively ruining the NBA and making it less fun to watch? As much as we enjoy long-range sharpshooters and a timely trey, we believe that the chucking is really getting out of hand, and affecting the quality of play. We're not alone in feeling this way, and to that end, this week we join the community in discussing ideas of how to best combat the three-point problem that the NBA - and modern basketball in general - is facing.

That leads into us joining the community in recalling the go-to moves that we liked to use when playing real basketball. We also recap our co-op session of NBA 2K17 featuring the Ultimate Classic Teams Roster and a couple of quintessential video game teams, and provide a PSA regarding NBA 2K23.

NLSC Podcast #555: Player Lock & Preferred Roles

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/11/19

Player Lock is an underrated feature outside of the career and online team play modes, but picking a suitable role is paramount. To that end, this week we join the community in choosing the players that we'd most prefer to lock on, from a shortlist of notable names from the 2000s and today. We also reflect on the excitement of a new video game purchase - especially when it's physical media - and share more advice for capturing highlights on the virtual hardwood.

2024/10/29

As the 2025 season gets underway, how do we feel about the current state of the NBA? This week, we join the community in sharing our opinions of the league these days, from three-point barrages to zero-tolerance technical fouls. We also discuss the evergreen problem of load management in the wake of a comment from Charles Barkley, along with some other recent issues including WNBA blunders, unwelcome advertising, pushy pop-ups, and a terrible Dwyane Wade statue.

Does Gravity Ball belong in NBA 2K25? This week, we join the community in reacting to the new mode for The City that's not only paid downloadable content, but frankly has very little to do with basketball! We also share our thoughts on the gameplay fixes and other updates in the big Season 2 patch for NBA 2K25, and touch on an important issue that's been affecting the modding community for some time now.

If we could get anyone from NBA history in a mo-cap suit, who are the five players we'd choose to perform motion capture for a video game? This week, we join the community in sharing our All-Time Mo-Cap Starting Fives! We also recap a strange session with NBA Live 2000, talk shoes and getting back on the court, and get a little reflective as digital broadcasting milestones and a milestone birthday loom.

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/10/08

Despite the ease of sharing highlights and connecting with fellow gamers, we've noticed a reluctance to do so nowadays. After discussing the potential causes, we urge the community to actively share their love of basketball gaming, and take an interest in what others are doing on the virtual hardwood. We also pay tribute to Dikembe Mutombo, and join the community in discussing players who are underdone in games, as well as our favourite current and former players. The post NLSC Podcast #549:

To that end, we recap a session playing NBA Live 06 PC with a work-in-progress ABA mod, and reflect on the league's legacy and importance in basketball history. We also join the community in reminiscing about fun and weird ideas for fantasy drafts, and memorable transactions during our NBA fandom. The post NLSC Podcast #547: Memorable Transactions, Fantasy

NBA 2K25 is out now, so this week, we join the community in sharing our first impressions of the gameplay! Our time on the sticks has revealed a number of pros and cons, though we'll certainly continue to comment on NBA 2K25 in the coming weeks and months.

You know what really grinds our gears? This week, we take a page out of Peter Griffin's book to discuss a few things that are bugging us, from Anthony Edwards' ridiculous comments to unnecessarily rude and hostile interactions to content creators being scripted super shills. We also join the community in reacting to pre-release NBA 2K25 gameplay footage, share a few thoughts on previews of The City, and recap a session revisiting NBA Live 2003.

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/08/27

After celebrating a milestone, we delve into some NBA 2K25 MyTEAM news, including the return of the Auction House. Although we're intrigued and will give the mode a try if we like the gameplay, we're still sceptical, and it would appear that the community shares our view. We also discuss the positives and negatives of community days in light of the NBA 2K25 event, and recap our sessions playing NBA 2K10 and NBA Jam: On Fire Edition with a couple of great mods.
