Welcome to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! The Friday Five is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that’s related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games, as well as the real NBA, and other areas of interest to our community. All basketball games are welcome, new and old! Also, be sure to subscribe to us on YouTube for more basketball gaming videos. What was your favourite highlight this week? Sound off in the comments below, and once again, get in on the fun by sending us your spectacular moments on the virtual hardwood or blacktop. While NBA 2K22 highlights are a given – that play at number four is slick from start to finish – and there are some staple retro kicks going on, with more gamers dusting off old favourites, you never know when a classic title will show up to dazzle us once more! Some familiar names and familiar games have produced another great countdown of fun highlights in this week’s NLSC Top 10 Plays! However, a game making its first appearance in the Top 10 has managed to grab the number one spot this time around. Submit your clips in the Forum, or hit up Derek on Twitter! It’s time to enjoy some virtual hardwood highlights in the NLSC Top 10 Plays of the Week! This is a weekly feature curated by Derek (aka Dee4Three) spotlighting the best plays from the basketball gaming community, which includes a few of our own memorable clips from time to time. Goodwill is vital in this relationship, and it goes both ways.

We have reasons to be upset and our terseness is understandable, but I also sympathise with the devs’ frustration. For our part, we’re an angrier fanbase that as a whole, doesn’t always engage as politely as we should. In recent years, however, that trust and goodwill has diminished. The quality was consistently impressive though, and the developer blogs during the preview seasons felt trustworthy because the games seemingly always delivered. That’s not to say that the product was always perfect, because no game is.

Such a track record of excellence and gamer satisfaction fosters trust and goodwill in the brand. Unlike Madden, they did it through quality, not exclusitivity. NBA Live was no longer in the picture, and while that was a sad outcome in many ways, the superior hoops game had conquered the market. They listened, they innovated, and their hard work paid off. While EA Sports failed to deliver with NBA Live, Visual Concepts was going from strength to strength with NBA 2K. There was a time when 2K was the darling of basketball gaming. It’s neither a stretch nor a startling revelation that the relationship between the NBA 2K developers and NBA 2K gamers is not as cordial as it once was. This week, I’m tipping things off with some frank thoughts on how goodwill goes both ways when it comes to basketball gamers, and basketball video game developers. We’re at midcourt, and the ball is about to go up…it’s Monday Tip-Off! Start your week here at the NLSC with a feature that’s dedicated to opinions, commentary, and other fun stuff related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games.
