Episode #216 (August 5th, 2017)Hosts: Andrew & Arcane
Episode #216 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Join Arcane and I as we discuss the news of the past week, including the NBA Live 18 demo and WNBA teams, the NBA Playgrounds Roster Unlock DLC, and a couple of NBA 2K18 snippets. And as always, we tell a few stories about our past week in basketball gaming.
On this week's show...
- The NBA Live 18 demo will be coming out next week, August 11th. We've also found out a little more about The Streets portion of The One.
- EA Sports has also announced that all twelve WNBA teams will be included in NBA Live 18. We feel it's a pretty good idea, and speculate on the future of additional content in NBA Live.
- The latest NBA 2K18 screenshots are looking very good, with some noticeable improvements to a couple of players. For what it's worth, we've also found out a few more player ratings.
- A couple of interviews have provided us with some snippets of information regarding improvements to gameplay and MyPLAYER Archetypes in NBA 2K18, as well a few additional details on the new story in MyGM.
- Saber Interactive has released a Roster Unlock for NBA Playgrounds. The idea definitely has merit and it's something gamers have been asking for, but not everyone is happy about it.
- NBA 2K17 is the highest selling Take Two sports title to date. It's also raking in higher than expected revenue from microtransactions.
- Our Week in Basketball Gaming has included some fun moments and satisfying victories in 2K Pro-Am and MyPARK, and more enjoyment out of an old school fantasy approach in Play Now.
- We wrap up Episode #216 of the NLSC Podcast with some NBL talk. Yes, really!
