Episode #319 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! This week, Dee4Three and I are catching up on recent news regarding MyTEAM and ESRB ratings for loot boxes, discussing our latest retro game pick-ups and what we’ve been playing, and a few other things that have been on our minds.
A Locker Code celebrating Mamba Day has provided everyone with a free, guaranteed Kobe Bryant card in MyTEAM. Unfortunately, issues with the card’s ratings underscore an ongoing problem with the mode. We discuss the importance of accuracy in details such as player ratings, Badges, and animations, and the need for variety and balance in cards. With Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett going into the Hall of Fame this year, we also reflect on some other players who are worthy of induction. We also touch on the new ESRB ratings for loot boxes, and whether we think the change will make much of a difference. Discussing our recent retro game pick-ups and what we’ve been playing also leads us to talk about the appeal of college games, the quality of NBA 2K15, and a very controversial opinion about NBA Live 07.

Nice pod! I was daunted on Sunday, since I thought to listen to it in a row with others before sleep, but my try lasted a min only before I saw 2,5 hours duration. Anyway, I coped with it on Monday at one fell swoop, it was good episode.
You may discuss the topics like who would win: Jordan’s Bulls vs today’s tops, Going to Work Pistons vs Bad Boys, and such in further episodes.
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate the suggestions!
