Fast pace old school game-play with over the top action, flashy dunks , crazy power-ups, stylish cartoon like graphics and funny commentary. The game has a bunch of content to offer and is a lot of fun to play I find myself playing online matches back to back for hours without even noticing the time. One issue i do have with this game are the ridiculous micro-transactions similar to the ones you'll find in NBA 2K19 , nonetheless NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a very fun game to play.
