On the court, Playgrounds 2 cleans up the arcade gameplay a tad, but it plays incredibly similar to the original. 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.
