Episode #193 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! We’re back after taking last week off due to Australia Day, and we have some interesting topics to discuss, including the future of NBA Live, a new patch for NBA 2K17, All-Star Weekend 2017, and more.
On this week’s show…
- It appears as though The Drive to NBA Live has been cancelled, and EA Sports will instead be focusing on developing a fully featured NBA Live 18, coming in the Fall. We give our thoughts on the situation.
- A new patch has come through for NBA 2K17, addressing a few key problems gamers have been having. Aside from that, have we noticed any remarkable differences?
- In Our Week in Basketball Gaming: an update on our MyCAREER games, including some All-Star Weekend disappointment, and the latest highs and lows of NLSC THRILLHO in 2K Pro-Am.
- The 2017 All-Stars have been announced. Unfortunately for Zaza Pachulia, the league stepped in and squashed his All-Star hopes.
- Dysfunction and drama are the common themes in the NBA right now, from the Chicago Bulls’ struggles to a war of words between LeBron James and Charles Barkley.

Hope it helps make it an enjoyable trip! 🙂
I spoke with Erika a dev from EA she explains its to late to update the rosters legally they cant not do it based on there license. also they are full focused and working on the New Live game
I do follow Erika on Twitter, but I guess I missed that. Thanks for the heads up!
Wouldn’t they of already had the license had they of brought our Live 17 or The drive to nba live?
There would be limitations on how the license can be used. Seems developing a new game with updated rosters is one thing, updating a game beyond the season it’s set in is another. They have obviously done the latter before, so I guess special arrangements were made in those cases, if this is the situation.
What new patch?
I’ve seen some people refer to it coming through on PC, but I haven’t received it yet, and I’ve restarted Steam a few times just to make sure. Still in the pipeline, I’d say.
If we are going to talk about disfunction how could you not talk about the knicks? Nobody came out on top from the Derrick Rose trade neither team has improved at all.
Also iam in agreement about the allstar game, give me some defence like they used to play at least a little bit of in the 90/00’s instead of it just being a 3 point mess like it is theses days.
Oh definitely, the Knicks are no stranger to dysfunction. They do seem to be keeping theirs quieter than the Bulls are at the moment though, I have to give them that.
