2026/02/10

Another NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and it's inspired us to reflect on some of the most notable midseason swaps. To that end, this week we're reacting to Complex's list of the Top 20 trade deadline deals in league history. We also join the community in recalling memorable deals that our favourite teams have made - or could've made - as well as franchise mode trades that we can't believe we got the CPU to agree to.

2026/02/03

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation of NBA 2K games - and their PC ports - saw some fantastic hits, but also a couple of disappointing misses. With that in mind, how would we personally rank the eighth gen NBA 2K releases? That's the challenge before us this week, as we take a look back and rank NBA 2K14 through NBA 2K20 from worst to best.

NLSC Podcast ·

2026/01/20

Recent comments by Paul Pierce and Danny Green regarding Michael Jordan supposedly having a "limited bag" have prompted us to reflect on one of the most commonly used buzzwords in basketball discourse these days. To that end, this week we join the community in discussing what we think having a bag means and looks like, and the players past and present that we believe boast the deepest bags.

2026/01/13

Who are the most dominant players when they're controlled by the CPU in basketball video games? This week, we join the community in discussing some of the most unguardable players on the virtual hardwood, at least when they're in the hands of the AI. We also reflect on the frustration of not always being able to light it up with those same players ourselves, and mention a few players who haven't been as dominant in video games as they really should be.The post NLSC Podcast #614: Dominant CPU

NLSC Podcast ·

2025/12/23

What Ifs are an intriguing topic in basketball discussions, especially when they involve comebacks that could've been, and comebacks that could potentially still occur. To that end, this week we're reflecting on some historical comeback rumours and returns that were reportedly close to happening, both of which we would've enjoyed seeing. We also discuss whether there are any recently-retired players that could still have an impact if they returned today.The post NLSC Podcast #611: NBA Comebacks We

2025/12/16

With the NBA Live 19 servers shutting down, a recent kick has inspired a look back at the final release in the NBA Live series. We reflect on our overall impressions of the game after giving it another chance, from the tuning of the last patch and overall gameplay experience to thoughts on Ultimate Team, The Streets World Tour, Legends, and depth. We also discuss fresh eyes leading to new perspectives, where NBA Live 19 ranks, and what a new game must do differently.The post NLSC Podcast #610:

This week, we join the community in responding to that claim and a couple of his other recent hot takes, as well as speculate on the motivations behind making them. We also discuss a few other popular but erroneous historical narratives that are about to complicate the GOAT debate. The post NLSC Podcast #609: Stan Van Gundy

NLSC Podcast #605: How Much Should Video Games Cost?

NLSC Podcast ·

2025/11/11

The price of video games remains a hot topic in 2025. Many people opine that they're too expensive, but plenty of others actually defend the current costs, and indeed suggest that video games should be even more expensive than they already are. This week, we dive into the issue, and join the community in suggesting what we believe would be fair prices for Triple-A games, indie games, online-only titles, and mobile releases.

2025/11/05

With the acquisition of the NBA license, Play by Play Studios' The Run: Got Next is now titled NBA The Run, and is slated for release some time in 2026. To that end, this week we join the community in reacting to the initial previews and teaser trailer. Although it's aiming to be a worthy successor to the NBA Street series and we'd like to see it turn out well, we'd be lying if we said we didn't have some concerns at this point in time.The post NLSC Podcast #604: NBA The Run Coming in 2026 appeared

This week, we join the community in discussing these controversies, along with a few other NBA matters that are getting us down. We also talk about whether video games make up for disappointment with real basketball, and getting ejected on the virtual hardwood. The post NLSC Podcast #603: Gambling, Flopping &

NLSC Podcast #602: That’s No Way To Treat A Customer

NLSC Podcast ·

2025/10/21

Customer service, value for money, and quality products are topics that are on our minds this week. This comes in the wake of an eBay purchase that unfortunately became a deeply unpleasant transaction, as well as the first big patch for NBA 2K26 failing to make the game better (and indeed, arguably making it worse). On a lighter note, we also recap a successful upgrade to Windows 11, before wrapping up the show with some quick 2026 NBA predictions.The post NLSC Podcast #602: That’s No Way To Treat
