Topic: NBA Playgrounds

Has anyone given it a try yet and if so how are you finding it?

not out yet. i think there was a "leaked" PS4 beta for online matches doe...
isn't Switch version gonna have online a week or two later??

I think i'll grab it. But i have to know if i need a second full controller (pro or joycons set) for multiplayer online. Because it does not seem possible to play it with sideway joycons

@FGPackers why wouldn't it be possible? Just because the size of the controller or what?

@Dan0753 because you need 2 sticks to play it, unless they do something on the control map for sideways joycons

@FGPackers why do you need both sticks? Looks like it's just back and forth down the court like NBA Jam was. Not changing a camera angle around like in a 3D game.

@Dan0753 One is for move, other one for "crossovers", as first gameplays say

@FGPackers I read on Polygon earlier that it will be possible to use single Joy-con.I'm not sure if that includes playing online though.

I'm watching a gameplay video right now and in the configurations menu you can see sideway joy-cons too, and crossover moves are actually on the movement stick! You just have to make a half circle or something like that. So sideway joy-cons should allow to play online too! That's fantastic! Can't wait for Tuesday now!!!

Can't wait for this one. Already put the funds on eShop in anticipation.

I will before tomorrow ends. And maybe i will see if i can purchase it on midnight too, so it will download during night!!!

There are differences but not THAT important. About the interview they're going to make a 4v4 shooter? With Splatoon 2 incoming?...Are they crazy??

The Swich version looks great on that comparison video.It's noticeably different from the other 2 but I wouldn't say it's "worse" looking,just different.Unless my eyes are deceiving me,the Switch version actually looks the sharpest.I watched it at 1080 on my phone.

As for the screenshot,undocked is a little softer but as long as it runs identically then it's not a problem.The devs have said they're aiming for a solid 60fps across all systems,lets hope that includes handheld mode.

I'm glad the Switch version holds up, and yes - it does look sharper. It is also darker.

Game looks like fun. Read somewhere it has a staggered update release thing going though. Somethinglike this:

• online play is available within the first new update (soonish)
• co op online play is available after that
• playing online against friends specifically is only coming after that

This is strange, considering the fact that this concept is strongest with online play in mind.

I think I'll buy it, but only when I'm sure online play is coming soon enough.

Wait, now that i think about it...no review yet? Is it going to come tomorrow?

I haven't seen any reviews, maybe it has a review embargo.

Looks great but I'm not going to buy a game off of just trailers, so hopefully we have some soon.

Hearing rumours of 540p undocked. Yuk!!

A guy on Youtube done a video review and he enjoyed it.

He doesn't really go over how it plays but in the comments he says it plays really.It's going to get docked points for missing online features though.The PS and Xbox versions will be missing online features too,not just the Switch.Although that won't even have any online for a few days.Hopefully they can deliver on bringing tournaments and playing with friends as promised soon after.Am I right in saying they had a lot of problems with online modes on the Master Chief Collection?

I'm going with PS4 version since there will be WAY more people to play with online.
