The Friday Five: 5 Times Basketball Games Had Fictional Content

The Friday Five: 5 Times Basketball Games Had Fictional Content

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. The topics for these lists and countdowns include everything from fun facts and recollections to commentary and critique. This week’s Five is a list of five times that basketball games featured fictional content.

Authenticity is the name of the game when it comes to sim basketball titles. There are acceptable breaks from reality, of course. MyTEAM allows us to construct lineups that span multiple eras, with everyone in their prime and ignoring that some players have passed away. It’s a fantasy mode, after all. We can also choose to have classic teams from different eras square off, play with teams featuring all of the best players in club history, or even have a team face itself. Even in a sim game, there’s fun to be had doing things that can’t be done in real life.

Fictional content is something else altogether. It’s usually the mark of an arcade game, such as the Stickmen and other bonus teams in NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, or the inclusion of Mortal Kombat characters in the arcade version of NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Most of the fictional content in sim titles comes from our own modding and roster customisation. With that being said, there are some times when fictional content appeared in sim basketball games, beyond the obvious examples of Roster Players filling in for unlicensed names. From placeholders and bonus content to questionable design choices, here are five times that sim basketball games had fictional elements.

Wayback Wednesday: The Silly Rosters for NBA Live 95

Wayback Wednesday: The Silly Rosters for NBA Live 95

This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time. This week, I’m taking a look back at the Silly Rosters that Lutz made for NBA Live 95.

From the moment I discovered the NLSC – then the NBA Live Series Center – way back in August 1997, I was enthralled with the work that our founders were doing. As is the case with basically everyone who’s joined our community over the years, I was utterly amazed at what was possible with modding; even in those early games. After trying to update NBA Live 96’s rosters with only the in-game functions for a year or so before that, the possibilities now seemed endless. You’re telling me that my created Michael Jordan can have full bio data, and that I can overwrite players? Incredible!

The work that Lutz and Tim were doing with those original NLSC updates inspired me to try my hand at the hobby, which led to me creating my own site, and ultimately still being a part of the community over twenty years later. Those roster packs were more than just current season updates, and when I picked up NBA Live 95 PC a year or so later, I was finally able to mess around with Lutz’s rosters on top of dabbling with some work of my own. A project from that pack that I’ve mentioned a few times before but haven’t covered yet is the Silly Rosters. It’s a product of its era, and the early days of our modding community. Let’s take a look back…way back…
