Can't play with friends in multiplayer lol
That's insta skip for me now.
Yes, that's a weird decision but afaik the devs said that this option will be added in 2 weeks time or so.
Game is fun, steals and elbows are quite OP though but this can be fixed also by the devs. Nice game for those that like arcade basketball action like NBA Jam and NBA Street.
i didn't play it yet but i was looking for sometime now for BOOM SHAKALAKA clone and finally something is out.
i loved NBA JAM, was great fun and nothing like that came for pc till this one..i hope i will have time this week to check it out.
If you were wondering what happened to the spring release of NBA Playgrounds 2, you got an answer on Tuesday.
2K announced that they will publish the sequel to last year's old-school arcade-action hoops title created in the spirit of NBA Jam. It has been rebranded as NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 and it will release in the Fall for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While 2K has taken on publishing duties, the game is still developed by Saber Interactive and will still feature the classic two-on-two basketball experience.
According to the press release, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is intended to "complement" the NBA 2K simulation franchise and to "further expand 2K's footprint in the basketball video game space."
“The original NBA Playgrounds was a fantastic throwback to the glory days of arcade-action sports,” said Greg Thomas, President, Visual Concepts. “The new NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 will step up this energy and attitude big time – with a bit of added NBA 2K flair – giving fans of both franchises an exciting new way to game with friends around the world.”
“No one is more committed to bringing fans a great basketball experience than 2K. We can’t wait to share more on how we’re teaming up to make NBA 2K Playgrounds 2’s incredible arcade action bigger and better than ever for players,” said Saber CEO Matt Karch.
The game was originally supposed to release as NBA Playgrounds 2 on May 22, but it was pulled the day before release and customers who had pre-ordered the game received a refund. Perhaps this deal between Saber and 2K was likely in the works and things became serious just before the scheduled launch.
Not sure if I agree with the re-branding. I do not associate playground with NBA Jam. If they just kept the original name, NBA Jam it prob sell more. With that being said, I will check this out as NBA Jam on the Commodore was just awesome.
