On Sunday, Saber Interactive released on Steam the 1.1.0 update for NBA Playgrounds. It’s the title’s second patch after the 1.0.3. The update features a lot of new features and updates, and will also add 15 new players to the rosters from yesterday and today (like Dennis Rodman, Larry Bird, and Gary Payton).

You will also be able to send and accept challenges in the all-new Challenge Mode, enjoy adjustments to the shooting engine, and much more.

    • You can now switch between unranked challenges and ranked games in the online mode
    • To challenge another player, you must switch to the challenge mode in the online menu and define a challenge code. By default, your challenge code is your nickname, but you can change it to your own, personal code. The person you are challenging must enter your code.
    • If you have been challenged, please enter your challenger’s code and press “Accept”.
    • All challenges are unranked and your ranking/ELO will be unaffected by the results of the challenge.
