Exactly. Microtransactions is misleading in this game. If u dont have the time buy all the characters but even then you STILL have to grind to get their stats up.
@@RomeGoLARGE- The grind isn't that bad... I've got 16 Diamond players and they're all good players too. Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaq, LeBron, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, David Robinson, Anthony Davis, Paul George, Kevin Garnett, Alonzo Mourning, Dirk, Bernard King, Jimmy Butler
I love this game. Love leveling up certain players to diamond then going online and kicking ass. Hit a buzzer beater three against an online opponent yesterday and beat him by 1. He had to be so pissed but I was so hyped lol. Great game and now I’m grinding the leaderboards!
The issue I have with the commentary is that there just isn’t enough of it recorded. Ian Eagle is a great get for a game like this, but feels vastly underutilized- and the “guest” commentators really don’t add anything. The game does feel too easy when playing solo, which means that it almost *has* to be played against a friend (or online) to get more mileage out of it. It compares poorly to EA’s NBA JAM reboot, which is still playable and purchasable for Xbox One owners or last-gen console owners. $30 (or $40 if you want to eliminated the pack-opening microtransactions) is the wrong price for this. Wait for a sale, because one will definitely come down the road.
"If you're expecting NBA JAM or NBA STREET from NBA PLAYGROUNDS then you're going to be disappointed" and that's all I need to hear to save my money.
You don't have to buy anything in this game to get good players

@@JayJoe1984 that’s trash.

Great review. NBA STREET VOL 2 and NBA JAM were awesome

Actually many others have said its best to get bronze packs. You'll eventually get everyone.
Nice Review, still might cop though
It has Kemp and Payton so I'm in.
Just got this in a bundle with the wrestling one to play with my lad.
No thanks, going to stick with the original. No microtransactions for me
A Fifa Playgrounds would be excellent.
for real
can 4 friends play a 2vs2 online? as friendly game ?
I just want an nba jam back. Playgrounds is such a boring boring game
U can mute the commentators
They basically just tried to make a fake nba streets
Meh.
cool games, the characters are so cute
NBA Jam Over This Game
Better than NBA LIVE 19
