May 11th Official Roster for NBA 2K13 Out Now

NBA 2K13 has received another official roster update, containing lineups that have been updated through May 11th, 2013. Amar’e Stoudemire and Tiago Splitter have returned from injury while Stephen Curry, Nate Robinson, Klay Thompson and Steve Nash have received ratings adjustments. Kent Bazemore has also been added to the Golden State Warriors’ lineup, though 19 other players around the league are still missing.

The roster will come through automatically as long as your PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Wii U is connected to the Internet. I’ve also added the latest roster and online data files to our offline pack, for PC users who would prefer to update their game manually.

Podcast Discussion: Realism of Video Games vs What We See on TV

The main topic of discussion in next week’s episode of the NLSC Podcast is going to be the level of realism that we see in basketball video games compared to what we actually see when watching the NBA on TV. We’re hoping to have a larger panel than usual and are looking forward to putting out an interesting show for you all.

We’re also interested in getting your thoughts on the matter, so that we can read them out during our discussion in Episode #29. How would you rate the realism we’ve seen in basketball games, when making a comparison to what we see on TV? How close is it to representing the real sport? How much realism do you want to see, or believe there needs to be in basketball games? Sound off in the comments below or have your say here in the Forum!

The Friday Five: Top 5 Underrated Features in Basketball Games

Welcome to another edition of The Friday Five! For the uninitiated, The Friday Five is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that’s related to basketball video games, the real NBA or another area of interest to our community, either as a list of five items or in the form of a Top 5 countdown.

It’s been fun counting down my top five best and worst songs in basketball video games over the past couple of weeks, but this week I felt like talking about something with a little more substance. As such, I’m counting down my Top 5 Underrated Features in Basketball Games. These are elements of gameplay, game modes and other aspects of basketball games that I feel are overlooked, underappreciated or in some cases, simply get a bad rap.

NBA 2K13 Offline Pack Updated With May 7th Official Roster

I’ve been able to get the May 7th official roster update for the PC version of NBA 2K13, so I’ve gone ahead and updated our offline pack. Other folks including our own JaoSming have indicated that they were able to get the update through yesterday, which may indicate that I was encountering some server downtime when I checked for the new rosters, leading me to conclude in yesterday’s post that the PC version had been skipped again. Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

As mentioned yesterday, the latest roster features David Lee back in action for the Warriors, Luol Deng out of the Bulls’ lineup and a boost to Marc Gasol’s ratings, bringing his overall up to 85.

NBA Live 14 To Be A Next-Generation Title

As originally reported by Kotaku’s Owen Good, NBA Live 14 has officially been included in EA’s 2014 Fiscal Plan, with the president of EA Labels Frank Gibeau heavily hinting that the game will be a next-generation console title when it launches later this year.  According to Gibeau, there will be “a full reveal at E3 including more next generation titles in development”.

The news comes on the heels of the official website being updated with a “coming soon” placeholder message and the discovery that Ultimate Team mode is in development for NBA Live 14. JaoSming also speculated on the possibility of NBA Live 14 being a next-gen game in Episode #28 of the NLSC Podcast.

There are no further details at this time, including whether or not the game will also be available for the previous generation of consoles (not to mention the PC), but we’ll certainly post that information as it becomes available. In the meantime, add your thoughts in the comments below and feel free to take the discussion to the NBA Live 14 section of the NLSC Forum.

May 7th Official Roster for NBA 2K13 Out Now (Consoles Only)

NBA 2K13 has received another official roster update today, featuring lineups that have been updated through May 7th, 2013. Luol Deng is out of the lineup in Chicago, David Lee is back in action for Golden State and Marc Gasol has received a ratings boost which brings his overall up to 85.

The rosters will come through automatically as long as your Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Wii U is connected to the Internet. So far, the update hasn’t come through for the PC version. If and when it does, or if updates resume after a couple more have been pushed through for the consoles as with the previous three official roster updates, I’ll be sure to update our offline pack.
