There’s even some Avril Lavigne, among other chart toppers. Speaking of remixes, Scooter’s take on “The Logical Song” by Supertramp is also on the playlist, along with “By the Way” by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song changes from “Without Me” by Eminem to Junkie XL’s remix of Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation”. This week, I’m tipping things off with some reflections as I experience a reunion with 2002. We’re at midcourt, and the ball is about to go up…it’s Monday Tip-Off! Join me as I begin the week here at the NLSC with my opinions and commentary on basketball gaming topics, as well as tales of the fun I’ve been having on the virtual hardwood. At the same time, they had some strong points of their own. When it comes to the final NBA Live games for PS1 back in the day, they didn’t stack up to their new gen successors quite as impressively. The limited availability of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S has also left many gamers stuck on the previous generation longer than planned. It helps that nowadays the gap isn’t quite so wide, and the architecture is far more similar to the previous gen. Looking back through decades of console launches and multi-generation releases for basketball video games, outmoded platforms haven’t always received this kind of love and attention. There also continues to be cross-generation support in MyTEAM. With NBA 2K23 in particular, 2K made a point of trying to implement as many features from the new gen version into the prior gen release. However, the eighth gen version – which is also the one ported to PC – hasn’t been completely left behind. Obviously, the ninth gen consoles are receiving the flagship version of NBA 2K as far as technical innovation and features. The launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S has resulted in an interesting situation as far as multi-generation support is concerned.

From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time.
