NLSC Podcast ·

2024/11/12

What is it that keeps us hooked on the virtual hardwood? This week, we join the community in sharing the reasons why we play basketball video games, from a love of the sport to bonding experiences to joyful fantasy and escapism. We also pick the three 2000s stars that we'd bring into the modern NBA in their prime, reflect on the NBA Live 18 server shutdown, and answer a question about bad games in another edition of Andrew Asks.

Past, present, and future are all topics of discussion this week! First of all, we tip things off with a recap of a session of NBA 2K13, using a 1996 roster to take on the Hawks with Shaq and Penny's Magic. Next, we join the community in naming three all-time greats that we'd want to bring into today's NBA. Finally, we and the community choose from a list of hypothetical features that we'd like to see added in NBA 2K26. The post NLSC Podcast #553: Bringing Three All-Time Greats Into Today’s NBA

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.

2024/10/22

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 #549: Underdone Players & Community Spirit

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:

2024/10/01

Derrick Rose has officially retired, and naturally, we have a few thoughts in the wake of his announcement, including whether or not he should have his jersey retired by the Bulls. This leads us to join the community in reminiscing about some other player retirements that affected us. We also discuss johnz1's upcoming mods for NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, and provide an update on what we and the community are playing in NBA 2K25.The post NLSC Podcast #548: Memorable Player Retirements & NBA 2K25

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/09/24

Although we're still playing NBA 2K25 and have a few updates on what we've been doing in it, we're putting the game on the backburner this week. 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 has been out for about a couple of weeks now, which means the annual honeymoon phase is drawing to a close. To that end, this week we join the community in following up on our first impressions with a rundown of our key likes and dislikes of the game so far.

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?

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.

2024/08/13

This week, we react to the NBA 2K25 Courtside Report previewing MyCAREER and MyPLAYER. While some of the details are promising on the surface, the grindy nature of the mode and pushy recurrent revenue mechanics remain an elephant in the room that too many influencers refuse to acknowledge. We also asked the community what they'd pay for a home port of NBA Superstars, and recap some excellent retro pickups by a couple of our fellow gamers.

Several former EA developers are working on The Run: Got Next; a 3-on-3 basketball game that's being described as a spiritual successor to NBA Street.

We also recap a session playing NBA Live 2000 PC and NBA 2K for the Dreamcast back-to-back, leading us to compare the two games and reflect on the history of both series.

We also recap our recent sessions with NBA Live 10 and NBA 2K10, advise gamers to grab a digital game while they still can, and share some fun trivia regarding player longevity.

2024/07/02

No basketball video game is universally liked, and sometimes you just won't vibe with a title that most other gamers seem to enjoy. This week, we join the community in discussing the games that other people liked, but for one reason or another, we just couldn't get into. We also share some more stories of playing real basketball, and react to an article that describes some of the sneaky tactics in games with pushy recurrent revenue mechanics.
