NLSC Podcast

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.

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. In this week's mailbag, we ask the community about double-dipping with NBA 2K25.

This week, we're breaking out the proverbial crystal ball to gaze into the future and discuss what we think NBA 2K - and video games in general - will be like in five years. This includes innovations in gameplay, graphics, and modes, as well as fairness to gamers and the possibility of competition in the space. We also touch on the prospect of a streaming service for games, VR, and some other predictions regarding the future of gaming.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #577 of the NLSC Podcast!

While we’ll never get sick of basketball gaming, we’re taking a quick timeout from the virtual hardwood this week as we join the community in listing and discussing some of the other video games that are currently in our rotations. This includes reflecting on the aspects of those games that are keeping us hooked on them, while also noting some of the similarities to our basketball gaming habits. We also discuss finding new ways to play old favourites including self-imposed challenges and choosing different classes or character builds, and fondly recall the fun we had getting a small taste of some classic games thanks to shareware and demo discs back in the day.

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.
