It has several different game modes, including two-player offline co-op, two-player online competitive, four-player offline team matches, and solo matches. The Nintendo Switch version of the game doesn't have online functionality at this time, but developer Saber Interactive says online play will be made available in a free game update expected in a few days.
NBA Playgrounds sports all 30 NBA teams, and can tap into a roster of current and retired NBA players like including Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, and Magic Johnson. You can level up your players over time and use power-ups, collectible cards, special techniques, and take advantage of a lottery pick system that rewards great play.
