February 15th Official Roster Update for NBA 2K13 Out Now

Another new official roster for NBA 2K13 has been pushed through today, containing lineups that have been updated through February 15th, 2013. As always, the new rosters will come through automatically as long as your PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Wii U is connected to the Internet. PC users also have the option of making use of our offline update pack, should they want to update their game manually.

The latest rosters contain ratings edits for nine players and players who were on 10 day contracts that have expired have now been released. All-Star colourways for the Kobe 8s, LeBron Xs and KD Vs have also been added. However, once again no new players have been added and there are also some incorrect lineups and injuries, which you can read more about here in Rashidi’s breakdown of the latest update. You can also check out a video rundown of the rosters here, courtesy of Operation Sports.

NBA All-Star Weekend 2013 Begins Today

The Friday Five: My Top 5 All-Star Weekends

Welcome everyone to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! If this is your first time reading the Friday Five and you’re wondering what it’s all about, it’s a feature that I post every Friday in which I cover a variety of topics related to basketball video games, the real NBA and other things that are relevant to our community, giving my thoughts as either a list of five items or presenting them in Top 5 countdown format.

Since the 2013 All-Star Weekend is upon us, I feel it’s only appropriate that this week’s Friday Five be a countdown of my Top 5 All-Star Weekends. A couple of things to keep in mind: this isn’t an unbiased list; these are my five favourite All-Star Weekends, it’s not my intention to be completely objective or provide a “definitive” Top 5. I’m also referring to the Weekend as a whole rather than simply the All-Star Game alone, which is another countdown altogether. With that out of the way, let’s get down to business.

NLSC Podcast – Episode #17

In Episode #17 of the NLSC Podcast, we discuss the joys of infected computers, stupid things for stupid rich people to buy, give our All-Star predictions and collectively tear our ACLs. Want a bit more of a rundown? Here’s a quick overview of this week’s episode featuring Leftos, Ben and myself.

  • Leftos takes us through the trials and tribulations of making an international PhD application for US colleges.
  • Where will Leftos end up? You’re going to have to wait for the ESPN special to find out.
  • Touching on my day job in computer repairs, the discussion turns to viruses and online scams.
  • Ben joins us after getting back from playing basketball and gives us an update on how the game went.
  • We find some of the most ridiculous things you can spend a lot of money on, if you’ve got piles of it to burn.
  • At long last, we get to our picks for the 2013 All-Star Weekend. We pick as a team and we’ll be wrong as a team.
  • We’re not huge fans of the Golden State Warriors’ new alternate jersey.
  • We wrap up with our thoughts on some other recent NBA news, including more injury woes for the Boston Celtics.

The next video in Da_Czar‘s Play of the Day series for NBA 2K13 has been posted and it’s the fourth and final part of his look at the Horns 1 SuperSet.
