NLSC Your source for basketball video games.
From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #591 of the NLSC Podcast!
Last week saw the release of the NBA 2K26 Gameplay trailer and developer blog, providing us with our first look at and insight into the on-court experience in this year’s game. As such, this week we react to the trailer – which had a very interesting song choice that was rather nostalgic for us! – and break down the gameplay blog point-by-point, from the new motion engine to Green-or-Miss shooting to AI improvements. We certainly have a lot of thoughts (and a couple of concerns) following the first in-depth preview of NBA 2K26, but we will reserve final judgement until we get our hands on the sticks. The community had a lot to say as well, so we also read out impressions that our listeners shared with us, as well as some other comments that we’ve seen on social media.

Enjoy mate, thanks as always for the support!
If was a really episode, good or bad I always love hype season and the excitement of the new game release.
I really hope in the next couple of years that EA throws another nba sim game to the market as 2k moves further and further away each year like you guys mentioned from the offline players which is sad but they have no competition so what else are nba video gamers going to spend there money with.
Fingers crossed! The new college basketball game does at least suggest they have an interest in the virtual hardwood, so it’s the most promising news on that front in years. Competition and options are vital, and it’d definitely make the preview season more interesting.
