    The people who made this deserve to be sued! They took away the ability to purchase all the characters and now you have to purchase them all individually for a massive premium (and keep in mind how this is all real money). To top it off if you purchased any content and you try to play this game on a different console you will not be able to access anything that you have purchased.

To top it off if you purchased any content and you try to play this game on a different console you will not be able to access anything that you have purchased. That is right, buy a second console or lose/break yours and everything you paid for is a complete loss. This is simply a predatory game at this point meant to ripoff anyone who is foolish enough to spend any money on it.… Expand

    If you’re looking for a fun and action-packed arcade basketball game, you’re unfortunately going to have to look elsewhere. NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a disappointing and overpriced step backwards that suffers from the changes that were made to it, not to mention greed. As much as I looked forward to, and wanted to enjoy this one, I never found it to be all that fun.

    The gameplay itself is fun and it’s a great throwback to NBA Jam, allowing you to have some fun for a few hours either with friends or online to dominate the playgrounds and become number 1. However, the grind needed to get any good players just isn’t worth the work.

    This is a game that does absolutely not need to exist but does for the sheer fact that the original game had no way of raking in the dough.
