These days, official updates are also far more comprehensive. To that end, apart from missing transactions that occur after the cut-off date, and the absence of rookies and other players who haven’t signed in time, most games don’t have too many outdated details. As I noted in my previous Friday Five covering this topic, they have the benefit of being sent updated artwork from the NBA, so they’re able to account for branding changes that aren’t yet officially announced. This week’s Five is a list of five more outdated details in basketball games.ĭevelopers tend to do a great job of updating basketball video games for the season they’re set in. The feature is presented as either a list of five items, or in the form of a Top 5 countdown. 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. To that end, today I’m suggesting five ideas that could benefit the modding community, particularly in regards to big projects, working with multiple games, and helping others get started. I’m grateful that those individuals have made those contributions in addition to their own releases, but I believe that we can do more.
Likewise, the reason that new faces are able to get involved with the hobby is that the people that came before them were willing to share knowledge and resources in the form of modding tutorials and mod templates. If you look at the most impressive modding projects in the history of our community, you’ll see that they were the work of several people.
I like to think that we collectively do a good job of that, but things could be better. In previous articles, I’ve discussed the need to be cooperative, collaborative, and generally helpful. Of course, there are ways that we could improve upon what we’re doing, and how we go about it. There have been changing trends in the community throughout the years and challenges that we’ve faced, but one thing has remained the same: people are releasing some really cool stuff. When it comes to our modding community, there’s never been a question of talent, passion, or fantastic releases. This week’s Five is a list of five ideas that could really benefit the modding scene.
