While somewhat unforgiving for an arcade basketball game, it’s also what makes Playgrounds 2 unique. If you land outside of the green, it’s an automatic miss. It’s still a challenge to make three-pointers on a consistent basis with low-level players, even for those known for their sharpshooting. The shooting meter has changed from a bar to a semi-circle, though the concept of stopping the timer in the green remains the same. On the court, Playgrounds 2 cleans up the arcade gameplay a tad, but it plays incredibly similar to the original. The contest still feels like a throwaway mode, but at least it does help you work on timing your shots. You can also play the three-point contest in Playgrounds Championship. Though I was only able to find a couple online matches for this review, everything ran smoothly, and I can see myself getting hooked from the rankings system and leaderboards. It’s a more expansive online mode than the original and the rankings system could keep you online longer. You can play competitive matches with either a CPU or online teammate (via friend list or matchmaking), or cooperative matches against the CPU with an online teammate. Dubbed Playgrounds Championship, it’s ranked play complete with multiple modes, leaderboards, and advanced stats. The beefed-up online mode could give Playgrounds 2 some competitive legs if the community is active. DeMarcus Cousins is on the Pelicans (one of only five Pelicans players by the way), Tony Parker is on the Spurs, Nick Young is on the Warriors, and Isaiah Thomas is on the Lakers. There are several active players on the wrong team. For example, the Lakers have 14 possible cards while the Bulls have nine, the Clippers have seven, and the Wizards have eight. Not all teams are evenly represented though.

Jordan even has his legendary from the free throw line dunk. It appears that the 2K publishing deal has helped in the legends department as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and numerous other Hall of Fame caliber players are featured in Playgrounds 2. Playgrounds 2 has a great mix of current NBA players and legends. You can spend real money to unlock the whole collection at once, but, unlike the original, this doesn’t feel necessary. I’ve opened about 20 packs so far, and I’ve only come across two duplicates. It also helps that opening duplicate cards doesn’t seem to happen nearly as often in Playgrounds 2. After each run through a season, I had enough to purchase several packs, each of which contains four players. Thankfully, you earn enough in-game currency to buy new packs at a fairly fast clip. This means that many teams will be inaccessible at first simply due to the fact you won’t have any of their players. Like the original, you have to open card packs to acquire new players. Although it doesn’t really hurt the experience, it’s slightly annoying that you are limited to three save slots and have to delete previous seasons once you fill up all three.
Currently, I have ongoing seasons with the Celtics, Nuggets, and 76ers.
It’s also a good way to level up cards that increase player stats. Legends often have unique animations that add flair to an already stylish experience.I found myself interested in the season loop even after I won the title with multiple teams. For instance, hoisting the trophy with the Lakers gives you access to Magic Johnson while prevailing with the Cavs gives you Mark Price. Winning the championship with each team unlocks a legend. The season mode directly ties into the card collecting progression system, which makes its return from the original. Of note, season mode has four difficulty levels, and the AI feels smarter in the sequel, especially when ratcheting up the difficulty.
It also gives you the option to play the season cooperatively with a friend via couch co-op or online. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the long slog of sports sim seasons. You can finish an entire season in under a couple hours with the default game length of three minutes. Instead, each season consists of 14 regular season games and a best-of-three playoff format for the top eight teams from each conference. This isn’t a full-fledged 82-game haul, however. On the single-player side of the equation, Playgrounds 2 features a season mode, which replaces the six tournaments seen in the original.
