What are the best lineups that we can assemble using modern NBA players? This week, we fire up NBA 2K25 and run fantasy drafts in MyNBA Eras to craft teams that we believe would be both successful and a lot of fun to play with on the virtual hardwood. We also recap our recent sessions with NBA Live 2000 and NBA 2K13, reflecting on a couple of all-time great releases that still hold up superbly all these years later.

NLSC Podcast #577: Other Games in Our Rotations
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, while also noting some of the similarities to our basketball gaming habits. We also discuss self-imposed challenges and other new ways to play, and fondly recall shareware games and demos.

NLSC Podcast #576: Favourite Unlicensed Basketball Games
Although we mostly play NBA and NCAA licensed basketball video games, there have been some classic releases that lack their high profile branding, as well as real teams and players. This week, we join the community in naming some of our all-time favourite unlicensed basketball video games, as well as a handful of titles that only licensed one or two real players, or otherwise didn't have anything to do with the NBA or NCAA.

NLSC Podcast #575: NBA 2K9 vs. NBA Live 09
We recently played NBA 2K9 and NBA Live 09, with a view to starting a co-op season in one or both of them. In addition to recapping those sessions, this week we're comparing and contrasting the 2009 season releases from EA Sports and Visual Concepts, reflecting on how they were both improvements over their predecessors, and discussing the teams we'd potentially like to use in our season. The community also weighs in with their views on the comparison.
