Interview with NBA Live 13 Creative Director (MyNBALivePad)

MyNBALivePad.com has posted an excellent interview with NBA Live 13’s Creative Director, Jason Barnes. The interview primarily talks about the new development team’s approach to authenticity in NBA Live 13, while also touching upon Jason’s basketball background and enthusiasm for the sport. For anyone who may still be concerned that NBA Live 13 will be an arcade style game in the vein of NBA Jam, Jason reiterates that the series will remain a simulation title that will strive for realism.

The interview also covers ESPN branding and presentation in NBA Live 13, with Jason mentioning some of the steps they have taken to recreate ESPN broadcasts in this year’s game. It’s well worth checking out, so be sure to give it a look. Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments below and join in the discussion here in the NBA Live 13 section of the NLSC Forum.

Patching & Modding: Tips for Getting Started

One of the first things that most people discover when they join our community here at the NLSC, or indeed what brings them here in the first place, is our collection of downloads for NBA Live and NBA 2K. Usually after trying out a few updates and marvelling at the skill and creativity of the talented individuals in the community, a lot of people ask the question: How can I do this myself?

We have a collection of tutorials that teach you the specifics of making different kinds of updates for NBA Live and NBA 2K, but I thought it might be helpful to compile some general tips on how to start making your own patches and mods. It’s always nice to see new people trying their hand at making updates for their fellow gamers, so I hope this article will prove to be useful for those of you looking to join the ranks of patchers in our community.

It’s been a little while since I posted a reminder about our revamped Downloads section, so I’d just like to let everyone know once again that we offer free file hosting for both NBA Live and NBA 2K patches. You can upload files up to 100 MB in size and have them immediately available in our database, so there’s no need to rely on hosting services like Sendspace and Mediafire for most releases. A big thanks as always to everyone who has contributed so far, please keep the uploads coming!

EA Sports Executive Vice President Andrew Wilson talks NBA Live, More

Xbox360Achievements.org has posted part two of a video interview with EA Sports’ Executive Vice President Andrew Wilson, which touches on a variety of topics including NBA Live 13. While no concrete information on the game itself is given, Wilson does talk a little about their approach to the series, along with their desire to continually innovate and plan for the future.

The NBA Live segment of the interview begins at the 4:56 mark of the video, for those who would like to skip ahead. Check it out and add your thoughts in the comments below or in this thread in the NBA Live 13 section of the NLSC Forum. Thanks to 22cedric for the heads up.

2K Sports inviting feedback for NBA 2K13 via Twitter

2K Sports are currently seeking fan suggestions for NBA 2K13 via Twitter. Tweets by community manager Ronnie 2K and the official 2K Sports Twitter account are encouraging users to send in their ideas for this year’s game, using the hashtag #IdeasforNBA2K13.

While this is obviously designed to drum up hype for NBA 2K13 by getting it to trend on Twitter months out from its release, it does present a good opportunity to send constructive feedback in to the game’s producers. Speaking of initiatives to improve NBA 2K, don’t forget about the SportsGaming blog’s grass roots movement to open up an ongoing dialogue with the NBA 2K developers.

New NBA 2K12 Official Roster Update (May 17th) Now Available

A new official roster update for NBA 2K12 is now available, containing lineups accurate as of May 17th, 2012. As previously mentioned, the roster updates being released during the Playoffs only contain updated rotations accounting for injuries and lineup changes, with no further adjustments being made to player ratings.

As always, the new rosters will be downloaded automatically as long as your PC, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 is connected to the Internet and you have the latest official patch installed. I’ve also updated this pack with a copy of the latest roster and online data files for PC users who wish to update their game manually.

The new rosters also contain some minor ratings updates for a couple of players, fixed dunk packages in the NBA Live 2005 and NBA Live 06 updates, some art updates that were made available after v5.0 was released back in April and a couple of other minor fixes. Please note that they do not contain new Brooklyn Nets artwork, as we’re still in the 2011/2012 season. Those updates are available separately for anyone who’d like to have the new logos early.

NLSC Forum Rule Amendments: Donations

NLSC Logo - Stitching

Since more and more patchers in the community have donation links and virtual “tip jars” these days, we felt it would be a good idea to amend the Forum rules to regulate the situation. Our hope is that we can avoid things getting out of hand.

In a nutshell, we are allowing the donation links and tip jars, however patchers may not bully or harass people into making a contribution; withholding releases until donations are received will also not be tolerated as it is not in the spirit of our patching community. Similarly, directly charging for updates remains prohibited, as legal issues can arise from this approach. We have also set a few conditions for the placement of donation links in Forum posts and our Downloads section.

For more information, please see the Forum Rules here. We reserve the right to make further amendments to the rules as the situation dictates, but hopefully there will be no issues moving forward. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact myself or one of the other administrators.
