    I would say if you enjoyed the over the top nature of NBA Jam and don’t want to think too hard about your gaming… NBA Playgrounds 2 is a great buy. Whether having friends round or just wanting a casual game to grab and play, there’s a lot of fun to be had here.

    Fun, old school gameplay with over the top action, beautiful dunks and awesome power-ups. The game has quite a lot of content to offer and is a lot of fun to play with other people. Because you need to have two players from one same team in order to properly begin playing NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (players are handed out at random), the game gets off to a slow start. A drawback is the micro transaction heavy online multiplayer which dampens the fun, but nevertheless NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a very fun game to play.

    NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 offers an arcade basketball experience that's both fun and simple, with fluid gameplay and some over-the-top movements that really stand out when playing.

    NBA 2k is simple, fun and accessible, but there are things, as some players, not in the right place, and in a NBA you won't find these kinds of problems.

    NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is somehow the next-gen NBA Jam fans were expecting with NBA Playgrounds: it’s a fun, easy-to-play, hard-to-master arcade game whose only flaw is a lack of game modes.

    A fun game, too bad there are so many microtransactions.

    A lacklustre effort after last year’s promising start. It attempts to address some of the issues but these end up being unforced turnovers that makes the game actively worse. When you couple this with only one of the major gameplay problems being addressed, you find yourself with a disappointing sequel. This is a series that definitely does not need to be on a yearly cycle, and most people who bought the original last year will find they have already had their fill.

    I have had more fun playing this game than any other title this year. People complain about microtransactions but two points about that : 1)I have had more fun playing this game than any other title this year. People complain about microtransactions but two points about that : 1) If a game is incredibly fun who cares 2) I have only about 20 hours invested and already unlocked 12 players without using microtransactions. God forbid if you have to invest time to unlock players. You don't have to pay to unlock players, but you do for swag items....something you don't have to have. A best friend played 2 games with me and bought a copy for himself on the way home. Great game.… Expand

    It's unacceptable to sell a 25£ "full" game that's actually a microtransactions scam. You start with no decent players and after hours ofIt's unacceptable to sell a 25£ "full" game that's actually a microtransactions scam. You start with no decent players and after hours of season gameplay it unlocks only a few crappy players. The game is designed to trick you into buying coins to unlock the players.

    WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AS CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE THAT ARE DESIGNED TO RIP YOU OFF!!!

    Yes, I am warning everyone to avoid this game    WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AS CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE THAT ARE DESIGNED TO RIP YOU OFF!!!

    Yes, I am warning everyone to avoid this game because they have taken away the ability to unlock all the characters with one cheap pack, now you are forced to unlock every individual player with a significant amount of virtual currency, and forget the grind of slowly trying to unlock everyone some other way. This game is a total rip off now, it was fine back when they had that unlock pack for every character, but now that it is gone this game is a total scam.    … Expand
