March, already? That's right, and it means we're tipping off the eighth annual March Modness! For those who are unfamiliar with the event, throughout the month of March, we make it a point to celebrate our modding community. We support modding all year around of course, but March Modness is a time to reflect on the hobby, and really get into it with enthusiasm and creativity.
As usual, the event includes a giveaway. If you upload a mod for any basketball video game to our Downloads section during March 2025, and include "March Modness" in the description, you're automatically in the draw to win a copy of NBA 2K26 PC later this year (full terms and conditions can be found below).
I'll also be covering topics related to modding in Monday Tip-Off, Wayback Wednesday, and The Friday Five. I'd suggest that it's quite likely that Dee and I will be discussing mods on the NLSC Podcast, too! As always, I have preliminary plans to get involved with some modding myself, and will hopefully have a few releases to share throughout the month.
I'm looking forward to a fun celebration of modding this March, and more great releases from our talented community. Thanks as always to everyone who contributes to our Downloads section, and supports the modding community here at the NLSC! We really do appreciate people freely sharing their work, and enhancing the gaming experience for their fellow virtual hoop heads.
