  • Lottery Pick System – The lottery pick system introduces a new twist to the game by rewarding great play with unique rewards.
  • Massive Roster of NBA Superstars – Current and retired ballers from all the official NBA teams will be available at launch. Hundreds more NBA superstars will be added post-launch.
  • Over-the-Top Moves – Timing is key, whether you’re shooting 3-pointers, pulling off major dunks, showing off your finger-roll game, or defying analytics and winning with long 2-pointers.

NBA Playgrounds will launch with two-player head-to-head online play, and a post-launch update will include four-player support. Polygon adds that Saber Interactive has big plans for post-release content, including roster updates, a dunk contest, and a three-point contest.

There aren’t any micro-transactions in NBA Playgroundsbut if players want the ability to buy card packs, Saber President Matthew Karch says the feature could be added in the future.
