This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia.

Why did I make that choice? Let’s take a look back…way back… Obviously anyone covering video games enjoys being able to break news and confirm rumours, but I was hesitant, and ultimately elected not to post a bulletin discussing those details. An anonymous source sent me a scoop via the NLSC’s contact form, offering up snippets of information on what to expect from the M圜AREER story in NBA 2K16. By September, trailers confirmed those details for Spike Lee’s M圜AREER joint, “ Livin’ Da Dream“.Īlthough I was posting rumours and confirmed details alike as they made the rounds, there was one post that I didn’t make. As screenshots continued to leak, it seemed increasingly likely that M圜AREER would indeed feature a collegiate career as part of its story. There had been rumours that M圜AREER would include some college gameplay, due to the leaked achievement list and research unearthing a licensing agreement between 2K Sports and the Collegiate Licensing Company. This week, I’m recalling the time that I received a scoop about M圜AREER in NBA 2K16, which I ultimately didn’t publish.īack in July of 2015, we were all awaiting further previews and details of what to expect from NBA 2K16. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general.
