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. This week, we join the community in sharing our thoughts on IGN's early preview of the game, and whether it sounds like it's truly carrying on the legacy of the iconic series.

As we wait for the NBA 2K25 preview season to kick into high gear, we have another PC basketball game to keep an eye on: Full Court Heroes. As the demo is currently available on Steam, we have some impressions to share. 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.

The NBA 2K League has been put on hiatus until 2025, which came as a surprise to the players and everyone else involved. This week, we join the community in discussing how and why the NBA 2K League failed to meet some incredibly lofty expectations, despite the backing of the NBA. 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.

More and more basketball gamers are revisiting the classics, and also stepping back in time with retro season mods, as we did in a fun session with NBA 2K10 using a 1997 roster. This week, we join the community in discussing our increased interest in retro content - whether it's through mods or what's in the game by default - as well as the importance of appreciating history, and debunking ridiculous narratives in real life and on the virtual hardwood alike.

Which NBA players from the past would be even better today? This week, we join the community in picking five players - be they superstars, fringe All-Stars, or role players - that we believe would really thrive in the modern NBA. We also pay tribute to the late, great Jerry West, the inspiration for the NBA logo and one of the league's most successful figures on the court, on the sidelines, and in the front office.

Which basketball video games made you fall in love with the genre? This week, we join the community in reminiscing about the titles that got us hooked on the virtual hardwood, and how that so often coincides with the wonderful time that is our entry into passionate basketball fandom.

With EA Sports College Football 25 generating some positive buzz, could it lead to EA Sports bringing back its college basketball series as well? Or indeed, could the NBA Live series finally return as EA expands its lineup? This week, we join the community in discussing EA Sports potentially returning to the virtual hardwood, and our expectations for such a comeback. We also name our all-time NBA enforcer starting fives, and pay tribute to the late, great Bill Walton.The post NLSC Podcast #531: EA

This week, we join the community in recalling our most memorable examples, and discussing why we struggled with them.

This week, we join in the community in reminiscing about the best three-point shooters in the history of basketball video games.

2024/05/07

What is the most overused jargon in basketball discourse? This week, we join the community in listing the terms that annoy us the most. We also cover the latest NBA 2K24 MyTEAM controversy, wherein 2K has abruptly and without explanation pulled a Kobe Bryant reward card that a pre-release developer insight promised was coming in Season 6. Of course, as Top Spin 2K25 aptly demonstrates, the company's greed extends far beyond the virtual hardwood! The post NLSC Podcast #527: 2K Pulls Kobe & Overused

Who are the worst and most annoying commentators in basketball video games? This week, we join the community in picking our least favourite voices of the virtual hardwood. Of course, it probably won't come as a surprise that we're generally not fans of them in real life, either! We also recap a fun session with Basketball Classics, and quiz the community on the top-rated point guards in NBA 2K9. Not to sound like clickbait, but the answers may shock you!

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/04/16

After feeling inspired to revisit the Super Nintendo version of the original NBA Jam, we were reminded of how fun it still is...and also, just how unfair it can be! A couple of interesting ratings likewise stood out, leading us to dive into some statistics from 1993. We also join the community in discussing which ideas we'd take from other sports games to improve future NBA 2K releases (and potentially, a new NBA Live as well).
