NLSC Podcast #593: WNBA Coming to NBA 2K26 MyTEAM

Hosts: Andrew & Dee4Three

As the NBA 2K26 preview season rolls on, the big news revealed last week was that the WNBA has now been integrated into MyTEAM, which includes the ability to team WNBA players up with current NBA players and Legends. The announcement certainly drew some mixed reactions from the wider basketball gaming community, so this week we're providing our take on the situation - from the discourse to our opinions on the news itself - and also reading out some thoughts from our listeners. We also react to some of the other key points that were outlined in the NBA 2K26 MyTEAM Courtside Report, from Game Changer Cards to the promise of greater rewards throughout the mode.

Episode #52 (October 31st, 2013)

Hosts: Andrew, Arcane & JaoSming

Episode #52 of the NLSC Podcast is out now and for once, we were able to record a show without some big news breaking within an hour of us finishing up. Nevertheless, there was still plenty to talk about this week, so please join Arcane, JaoSming and myself as we recap and react to the latest NBA Live 14, NBA 2K14 and NBA news.

• Last week's NBA Live 14 Developer Blog delivered some insight into Signature Styles and dribbling controls. Was it what we were hoping to hear?
• The PlayStation 4 Trophies have been revealed, giving us a few snippets on NBA Live 14's game modes. Dynasty Mode is back!

• Last week's press conference delivered a HUGE amount of information on NBA 2K14 next gen. We recap the highlights and give our thoughts on each.
• The same event provided us with some raw next gen gameplay footage. Does it live up to the OMG Trailer?
• NBA 2K14 next gen will reflect the change back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format in the NBA Finals. No word on current gen yet.
• We also have some new screenshots, NBA Today news and a sneak peek at the Momentus Trailer to talk about.
• Elsewhere, NBA 2K14 current gen has been receiving a few official roster updates. The Doctor is back in the house!

Episode #53 (November 6th, 2013)

Hosts: Andrew, Arcane & Pdub

As we find ourselves less than two weeks away from the release of NBA Live 14 and NBA 2K14, we're getting more and more information on this year's games. The 2014 season, although just a couple of weeks old, has also provided us with a few talking points. Join Arcane, Pdub and myself as we give our thoughts on the latest previews, news and real life NBA happenings in Episode #53 of the NLSC Podcast.

• A new developer blog has given us more insight into the controls, signature styles and defensive strategy in NBA Live 14. Do we like what we saw?
• We also got a couple of new tidbits from VSN Radio's interview with developers Scott O'Gallagher and Ryan Ferwerda, leading to some speculation on a few features.
• NBA Live 14's soundtrack has been revealed and unfortunately for Arcane, there's no J. Cole...yet, anyway.
• Moving on to NBA 2K14, we give our thoughts on some MyTEAM snippets that have been mentioned on the official Facebook page during the past week.
• MyGM is shaping up to be a deep and interesting mode in NBA 2K14 next gen, but might there be too much depth to the mode?
• The PlayStation 4 version of NBA 2K14 will be getting some exclusive content. Fortunately, everyone on our panel will benefit.
• We answer a mailbag question regarding NBA 2K14's chances at winning Game of the Year.
• Episode #53 wraps up with some talk about the real NBA. The Clippers' fortunes, Bulls' struggles, rookie performances and tanking are all discussed.

As has been the case recently, some really juicy news on both games broke a few hours after we finished recording this week's episode. We'll be sure to talk about all that good stuff next week but in the meantime, let us know what you think of Episode #53 and your opinion on the topics that we discussed. Sound off below and don't forget to post any mailbag submissions here.

Episode #54 (November 13th, 2013)

Hosts: Andrew, Arcane & JaoSming

It's our last show before we get our hands on the PlayStation 4! Well, for one of us, anyway. Join Arcane, JaoSming and myself for Episode #54 of the NLSC Podcast, in which we cover the latest NBA Live 14 and NBA 2K14 news, chat about the NBA and more.

• As we get closer to the release of NBA Live 14, we're getting some encouraging news by way of various hands-on previews. We react to the latest information.
• A demo has also been confirmed, but it's coming out the same day that the game is launched. Can that still work in EA Sports' favour?
• The latest developer blog gives us more information on LIVE Season and BIG Moments. JaoSming makes a startling confession.
• JaoSming and Arcane provide a few thoughts on the latest screenshots.
• The past week has delivered a lot of details on MyGM in NBA 2K14 next gen. Do we still have any reservations about the mode?
• Next gen MyCAREER tidbits have also been coming our way. Jackson Ellis awaits us all.
• Over 600 player and coach interviews are included in NBA 2K14 next gen, with real voices. We can't wait to hear what virtual Gregg Popovich has to say.
• You may be surprised to learn that JaoSming is excited for The Park. We also have a few creative ideas for the mode.
• We give our thoughts on some other NBA 2K14 next gen news including IGN's review, the PS4 trophies and the latest videos.

Interview with NBA Live 14 Gameplay Designer Scott O'Gallagher

Host: Andrew
Special Guest: Scott O'Gallagher

We have a special edition of the NLSC Podcast for you today, featuring an interview with NBA Live 14 Gameplay Designer Scott O’Gallagher. I talk to Scott about this year’s game and the return of NBA Live, getting some information on the controls, AI, game modes, their design philosophy and more.

Some key points of interest include the depth of CourtQ, what bounceTEK means for the game both offensively and defensively, the number of signature jumpshots and signature dribbling packages, new animations and updated animation packages as the season progresses, the logic in Dynasty Mode, BIG Moments and playcalling.

Thanks to Scott once again for the interview, I hope you all enjoy it and find it interesting and informative.

Episode #55 (November 20th, 2013)

Hosts: Andrew, Arcane, JaoSming & Pdub

The PlayStation 4 has launched and we have two new basketball games to play...well, two of us do, at any rate. Join Arcane, JaoSming, Pdub and myself as we discuss early impressions of NBA Live 14 and NBA 2K14 next gen, as well as some of the reactions from the community and gaming media.

• Before we get to JaoSming and Pdub's impressions, Andrew once again plugs our interview with Gameplay Designer Scott O'Gallagher, recorded earlier this week.
• NBA Live 14 is out, which means the NBA Live series has finally officially returned. JaoSming and Pdub run down the good, the bad and the ugly.
• Is there a solid foundation to NBA Live 14? With a game finally released, can EA build upon what they've got?
• More features may be added through the year, a concept that we'd certainly welcome and encourage.
• JaoSming declares NBA 2K14 next gen a game that will sell the new consoles, from its aesthetics to the gameplay experience to its features.
• While the news is mostly good when it comes to NBA 2K14 next gen, there are a few signature 2K quirks that bear mentioning. However, the good far outweighs the bad.
• Were our concerns regarding MyGM and the revamped MyCAREER mode justified?
• As you might expect, The Park gets a mention or two.
• Neither game features Create-a-Player. We hope that philosophy is done away with before we get too far into this generation.

As always, we welcome your feedback on this week's episode. Keep the discussion of NBA Live 14 and NBA 2K14 coming!

[Leftos]

Didn't get my camera question answered this time around, but oh well!

Also, talking about a pizza on top of a pizza:



Double crust pizza from Old Chicago Pizza in Petaluma, CA. That's actually two layers.

[Andrew]

I thought I did ask it towards the end when Pat was talking about camera angles but I guess we skipped it over it. We'll definitely revisit it in the coming weeks, when the rest of us have played both games.

• We've been collecting some great, constructive feedback for the NBA Live 14 development team, who are very receptive to our ideas and suggestions.
