Finding the Right Competitive eSports FPS Game For You

A new arcade-style basketball game

Arcade-style basketball are a rare commodity these days, and NBA Playgrounds may fill the gap. As featured in an article appearing on Polygon, the title is a two-on-two contest like NBA Jam, differently from NBA Street’s three-on-three. The gameplay is very similar to NBA Jam on both offense and defense.

The controls are similar to the old-time classic, although NBA Playgrounds added some flavor to it like cross-over dribble moves with the right analog stick. The game will also feature other little things to spice up the gameplay, like star icons spread out on the court to give users a chance to double or triple the score of the shots from those positions.

It will debut with two-player head-to-head online games, with four-player support coming in an “early update.” Saber Interactive has plans for post-release additions, including roster updates. Players will be able to discover the game’s rosters little-by-little, starting with a few players, and then being able to get card packs with new players. In spite of this mechanism, NBA Playgrounds won’t have in-game purchases, at least initially.
