Topic: NBA Playgrounds

Didn't even bother with the 15 steals lol. It's still the only one I have left.

I remember when I used to have to beg people to buy some of the best games of the year just because they were 3rd party games on a Nintendo platform.

Now some random NBA game can come out of nowhere, get ok reviews and is seemingly doing well on Nintendo despite being available elsewhere.

I feel like my understanding of reality is being challenged by the Switch. I'm expecting this to sell better than most versions of much more popular sports titles (the EA ones for example) on Nintendo.

@Spoony_Tech
It's the only I have left too. @kkslider5552000
I bought this doubt I'll buy an EA game or NBA 2k game

I like my basketball so I may pick up 2k just to show my support but it has to be a good port and not dumbed down too much. I understand graphics are going to take a hit over the big guys but it should still look nice.

@kkslider5552000 I'm not a fan of sports game simulators but i loved nba jam on the snes and street on the ps2.

Another arcade sports game i loved was Nintendo world cup on the NES!

I would be more likely to get more arcade types sports game. Like the hockey game that's out on other systems and suppose to come to the switch and wrestling/mma like fire pro wrestling

Still trying to get by Shaq and Iverson in the Vegas Final. They steal everything, they block everything, Shaq hits threes.

@Murph Just keep sticking with it. Eventually it just clicks and you know what to do. My advise if you already haven't done so is get the best 3 point shooter and a really good 2 point shooter. Trying to dunk is really hard and it's easier to hit layups as you dont get block nearly as much. I literally run down the court from the inbounds let them try to steal, do a crossover, and either shoot the 3 or do a lay up. I scored nearly every possession and all you have to do is stop them a few times. Half a shot clock helps as I can get them to do a violation almost every time.

Ha! Right on cue with Rodman, Isaiah, Bird and Payton! Okay, which one of you is on the development team, lol?!?

Didn't even notice. All these players are excellent adds as I've wanted and mentioned a few of them. Now which team does Rodman play for. I want him as a Piston but he's probably Chicago.

Added: A shot-meter was added to help finding the perfect timing for shots, dunks etc.

This is all I wanted. When it hits switch I'll pick the game up.

He is a Piston, but his player card he has the dyed blonde hair which I believe he didn't do while in Detroit

@ValhallaOutcast You are correct, he didn't get weird till he left Detroit. I think Chuck Daily really mentored him well. When he left he didn't have that any more.

I do not think Daily had anything to do with it. Even if Rodman stayed in Detroit he would have eventually started dying his hair and such. Rodman was the same dirty player everywhere he went.

@Lethal Growing up and watching them everyday I would have to disagree. Rodman was fine in Detroit. Believe it or not he was better then Mahorn and Laimbeer which could be considered dirty players by some. I've read plenty of stories being from that area about Rodman and Daily. He looked to him like a father.

You might want to replay some of those old tapes then lol. Rodman was a dirty player, especially against the Bulls.

From Christianpost.com: Notably, a specific date for when Update 1.10 may reach the Switch is similarly unavailable at this point, though developers have indicated that the rollout of the update for the different platforms of "NBA Playgrounds" could span "days/weeks."

Really want this 1.10 update . . . even though they nerfed 3-pointers . . . I may finally have to part with Danny Ainge, lol.

Online? Undocked graphic improvement? Players added on other systems? Something different only for Switch?

@FGPackers my guess for them to call it a huge announcement its something more than online as that was already a promised feature.

undocked graphics improvement would be my guess ...time will tell

I'll be happy with that bump in resolution and online. Now if they want to throw in 10 to 20 packs of player cards I wouldn't object. These players are getting too hard to get now.
