Feb 9, 2021This game isn't fun at all. Controls are terrible, especially considering it is meant to be simplified.
It is like a mobile micro transaction game.
I maybe wouldn't mind paying for micro transactions if the game was good in the first place -
Jan 10, 2022If you can get this game for cheap (10 dollars or less), it may be worth it. It can be good for quick matches with friends. The gameplay is alright. You will need to grind for all the players, or pay for them, which could be a dealbreaker for some.

Nov 26, 2018NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a reasonably fun revisitation of the first game, carrying over the strong improvements its predecessor gained from patches, including a better shooting system. However, there’s not much in the way of deeply engaging content to keep you playing more than a couple of pickup games with your friends.

Nov 26, 2018Overall, Playgrounds 2 is lacklustre and feels too much like a mobile game franchise. It takes advantage of its audience and never offers enough satisfaction in return for the money, or the grind sessions. Ultimately, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a bad game, and certainly no spiritual successor. Stick with NBA 2K19 or NBA Jam itself.

Nov 9, 2018The game is not up to its predecessor. It's still a great arcade title for NBA fans, and there is a clear graphic improvement but there are bad gameplay design decisions, such as forcing you to play for hours with each player until you get their attributes.
