Dee suggested that they merited a closer look in an article, and I liked the idea especially as it got me thinking about some of the other virtual NBA Finalists I’ve faced in games, and whether any were as weak as those Timberwolves. Indeed, when I mentioned to Dee4Three that they were my opponent, and sent him a screenshot of their roster, he observed that they were a strong candidate for the worst team to ever make the NBA Finals. The Minnesota Timberwolves in Year 3 of my NBA 2K14 M圜AREER would definitely qualify as such a squad. Having finished seasons in multiple games, I’ve encountered a variety of virtual NBA Finalists, including a few surprising ones. Did they run with the first simulation, or did they have to keep trying until the game produced more believable results, with realistic NBA Finalists and Champions? It makes me wonder about the articles that simulate the forthcoming season in NBA 2K.

However, some of the results we see in our virtual seasons are definitely unrealistically favourable to upsets and underdogs. They already have a tough task as far as generating realistic results, given that the actual NBA can produce some unexpected outcomes. Simulation engines are far from infallible. This week, I’m tipping things off with a look at the worst virtual NBA Finalists that I’ve encountered in all my years of basketball gaming. 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. This week’s mailbag features a discussion about the influence that playing real hoops has on basketball gaming, basketball book recommendations, and the best classic seasons to watch.

In an update on our NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and NBA 2K14 M圜AREER games, we’re talking sliders, streaks, and the growing legend of Terry Hanson. Celtics Tournament will be tipping off soon, and we’re also keen to continue our co-op sessions on Parsec. Mention of Konami also sends us down the rabbit hole to discuss some of our favourite games from the company, basketball or otherwise. We also lament the lack of a new NBA Jam title, and reflect on the shortcomings of the NBA Playgrounds games. It leads us to consider how this could apply to the virtual hardwood, with Basketball Classics being a great example. The release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has demonstrated the popularity of retro-style gameplay with modern sensibilities. From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #431 of the NLSC Podcast!
