2 is often considered to be the best release from EA Sports BIG, and it’s now turning twenty years old. Meanwhile, though it was the second game in the series, NBA Street Vol. NBA Jam set arcades on fire in 1993, meaning we’ve reached its 30th Anniversary. This week, I’m tipping things off with some thoughts on why NBA Jam and NBA Street need to return.Ģ023 marks the anniversary of two iconic basketball games. 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. Here are five of those details that stand out to me. NBA 2K19’s M圜AREER story had some fun details that could’ve potentially made it an enjoyable retro gaming experience, but I’m glad I was able to enjoy them when I could. It may not be a big deal to everyone, but it’s a shame that the single player portion of M圜AREER is now so intertwined with the connected experience that it’s limited – or completely absent – following the servers being shut down. As such, these fun details are now permanently lost. Unfortunately, NBA 2K19’s M圜AREER story is no longer playable, as the server shutdown has left the game with the stripped-down offline version of the mode. I personally played through it on both PC and PlayStation 4. Indeed, some of the fun details in NBA 2K19’s M圜AREER story made it worth playing through at least once, if not twice. This ability to skip the story was first implemented in NBA 2K19’s M圜AREER, but that wasn’t the only good addition that year. Others have been more enjoyable to play through, though many gamers still opt to skip the better ones. Some of them have been intrusive, poorly-written, or both. Since their introduction in NBA 2K14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, M圜AREER stories have been controversial.

This week’s Five is a list of five fun details that could be found in NBA 2K19’s M圜AREER story.

The topics for these lists and countdowns include everything from fun facts and recollections to commentary and critique. Welcome to another edition of The Friday Five! Every Friday I cover a topic related to basketball gaming, either as a list of five items, or a Top 5 countdown.
