Dee and I have been able to line up our schedules and connect more often as of late, which means more virtual hardwood fun on an international scale! This past week, we connected to play NBA 2K13 and Konami’s NBA in the Zone 2, and highlights from our session with the latter are up now on our YouTube channel.
As you can see, we took on the Denver Nuggets using the Seattle SuperSonics. While the Sonics were the much better team at the time, the Nuggets proved to be worthy adversaries here, in no small part thanks to the ferocious rebounding and putbacks of Tom Hammonds! Less unexpected threats such as Antonio McDyess, LaPhonso Ellis, and Mark Jackson also ensured a competitive game. Fortunately, we had the trio of Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and Detlef Schrempf at our disposal, but our bench players also came up huge, particularly Craig Ehlo and Jim McIlvaine. Watch how all of the action unfolded in this highlight reel, put together by Dee!
NBA in the Zone 2 is a great sim-arcade hybrid, and in addition to these highlights, Dee and I will be discussing our session with it on the next NLSC Podcast. In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to the NLSC YouTube channel for more basketball gaming content, and as always, feel free to hit us up with any suggestions of games that you’d like to see us play.
