Has that NBA JAMS feel which reminds of my childhood. Great graphics, sound track and game play. Great for a quick game on the Switch if you want to play a game of basketball but not so serious.

I miss the old NBA Jam games. I hate in this game that you can’t use the full roster right from the start to play with friends. You actually have to earn VC and packs to unlock players..

I haven't bought a basketball game since NBA Jam Tournament Edition on the original PlayStation, but this game was on a good sale and looked like it could bring back those silly, fun, glory days. And it did!

Got this for my son(11) for Christmas and he loved it. Fun to play, but game is more like cartoons with impossible plays(that is part of what makes it fun). Great buy for the price.

Bought this game for my 11 and 9 year old boys. They love it and play it all the time. A bit of a nuisance that only weak players are unlocked at the start but the kids still enjoy.

My kids have had Switch for a long time and I never touched it until now to play this game. It has increased their interest in following basketball which coincided well with the NBA Finals.

Fun Gameplay, Horrible Grind and Microtransactions

NBA 2K Playgrounds has extremely fun arcade style gameplay that is a nice nod to classic game series' like NBA Jam and NBA Streets. Unfortunately, much like what happened to other sports games and games with strong online elements like Star Wars Battlefront 2, the publisher messed the game up with a ridiculously long grind and lots of micro transactions. So, be warned. If you're wanting to unlock stuff and do everything the game has to offer, 2K intentionally messed up your experience.

No rules just over the top fun. Much like NBA Jam back in the day. Takes a bit to unlock characters but great game. Will cause you to lose some friends.

This game was made in the mold of the old school game Nba Jam. Being able to use new and past legendary players makes this game worth buying.

NBA 2K Plagrounds 2 is a arcade style basketball game. Abit difficult to understand the controls but a decently fun game.
