We're still hitting the road in NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, with co-op proving to be a blast as we build chemistry and develop strategies. Speaking of which, we take a moment to reflect on some techniques that are all too easily overlooked. We also touch on another vague NBA Live update (of sorts), the prospect of a F2P model, and basketball gaming's most unstoppable moves and players.

We've had our first look at NBA 2K22, and if nothing else, Dirk Nowitzki looks great! Some promising improvements have been touted, but we've heard much of it before, so we're taking it with a grain of salt. Following EA Play 2021, dedicated NBA Live fans are understandably losing hope. We've also found a new game to play via Parsec, and are still making memories in other old favourites.

The NBA 2K22 preview season is officially underway with the reveal of this year's cover players and pre-order bonuses...and of course, the ability to pre-order before any previews have been shown! Unfortunately, news about the PC version and demo were disheartening. Elsewhere, a Tweet mentioning LeBron James and EA has people buzzing. We're also talking NBA Jam 2010, and College Slam for PC.

As the NBA 2K22 preview season looms, the apologists are already warming up their excuses. EA Sports have also teased an announcement of a returning series; what are the odds that it's NBA Live? Meanwhile, Double Dribble Playoff Edition and NBA Live 95 have been in our rotation, and we have a few thoughts to share. This week's mailbag discusses the peak era for basketball gaming, and underrated gameplay additions.

We're not alone in our enthusiasm for Parsec, as more members of the community are getting involved! We talk about our recent online head-to-head games of NBA Live 10, NBA 2K17, NBA 2K19, and NBA 2K21, and compare performance to the 2K servers. There are also some NBA 2K22 rumours to discuss as the preview season looms, and we answer a question about the new Space Jam game.

We have a lot on our minds this week! We've been revisiting some more games, including another epic retro clash in NBA Live 10. We also talk about how external factors and frustrations can taint our first impressions of games we later enjoy. A comment blaming the community for microtransactions also gets us fired up, we discuss the impact that striving for realistic stats has on fun, and mull gameplay improvements yet to be made.
