NLSC Podcast #317: The Perks of PC & The Merriness of Modding

NLSC Podcast Logo

Episode #317 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! This week, Dee4Three and I are discussing modding projects we’re working on (and the joy that it brings us), the benefits of PC basketball gaming, and the recently revealed specs for the next generation of consoles.

March Modness may be over, but we’re still in the mood to mod! In addition to discussing projects that we’re currently working on, we talk about how important the modding scene has been to the PC version. Specifically, we note that it’s drawn gamers from consoles to PC, and made them aware of the perks of PC basketball gaming. We also reflect on satisfying modding discoveries, and how mods stand out in other original content. As the preliminary specs for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X have been revealed, we also take the opportunity to look ahead to the next generation. The specs sound impressive – and very much like a gaming PC – but will it matter if design philosophies don’t change?

Tune in below!

What are some of your favourite mods? Do you game on both PC and console, or do you prefer one over the other? Sound off in the comments section below, or join in the discussion here in the Forum! Additionally, feel free to hit us up with any feedback on the episode, as well as suggestions for topics that you’d like to hear us discuss in future episodes.

NBA 2K18 PC System Requirements Revealed

NBA 2K18: Damian Lillard

Steam’s store listing for the PC version of NBA 2K18 has revealed the system requirements for this year’s game. Not surprisingly, the required specs aren’t very different from last year, with the biggest change being a slightly better video card. The minimum and recommended requirements are as follows:

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 (64 bit version)
  • CPU: Intel i3-530 or AMD Phenom II x4 805
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • GPU: nVidia GT 450 or AMD HD 6770 (both 1 GB of VRAM)
  • DirectX: 11
  • Storage: 70 GB
  • Additional: Gamepad recommended

Recommended:

  • OS: Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 (64 bit version)
  • CPU: Intel i5-4430 or AMD FX-8370
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • GPU: nVidia GTX 770 or AMD R9 270 (both 2 GB of VRAM)
  • DirectX: 11
  • Storage: 70 GB

As you can see here, our community is already gearing up to do some great things with the PC version of NBA 2K18. Although the PC version misses out on content such as The Prelude, we do have the benefit of a talented and passionate modding community. Speaking of which, when the time comes, we encourage everyone to make good use of our upload facilities, to ensure that mods for NBA 2K18 don’t get lost as they unfortunately so often do on external hosts.

Thanks to Dommy73 for the heads up on the system requirements!
