NLSC Podcast #525: Check My Stats
Which basketball games are the easiest and hardest to put up stats in? This week, we join the community in discussing the titles that stick out in our minds, and the statistics that either eluded us or piled up way too easily. We also recap a session with Virtua NBA, provide an update on our journey in the original NBA Jam, pick our ideal games for an annual tournament, and reflect on how it feels to shelve a beloved favourite.

NLSC Podcast #524: NBA Jam & Borrowing From Other Games
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).

NLSC Podcast #523: Our All-Time Favourite NBA Jerseys
What are some of our favourite NBA jerseys of all-time? This week, we join the community in naming our top three uniforms throughout history, as well as listing other memorable designs as honourable mentions. We also discuss some of the players that made those jerseys so iconic, and reflect on how 90s styles are seemingly making a comeback despite so many people trying to tear down the era.

NLSC Podcast #522: Is PC Gaming Worth It In 2024?
Obviously we're big fans of and advocates for PC gaming, but are the benefits worth the drawbacks and potential expense? This week, we join the community in discussing the pros and cons of PC gaming - basketball and otherwise - and recommend price ranges for anyone in the market for a new rig. We also share our expectations for NBA 2K25 on PC, discuss Steam sales and other bargains, and preview minimalist rosters for NBA 2K6 on Xbox 360.

NLSC Podcast #521: No NBA License? No Problem!
Could an unlicensed basketball video game provide a viable alternative to NBA 2K, if it had great gameplay, deep customisation and sharing options, a robust franchise mode, and a price tag of $39.99 USD? This week, we join the community in discussing this very intriguing idea! We also take a look back at NBA 2K8 following a Parsec session that sadly ended far too abruptly, and share an encouraging injury update.

NLSC Podcast #520: Best Generation of NBA Live & NBA 2K
What was the best generation of NBA Live and NBA 2K respectively? This week, we join the community in nominating the golden age for each series. We also recap a couple of exciting co-op Parsec sessions with NBA Live 2000 PC and NBA 2K2 for GameCube, follow up on Troydan's successful MyTEAM pull, discuss digital ownership, and note an unfortunate side effect of declining the new Terms of Service in NBA 2K24.
