Dear Reader:
Saber Interactive says NBA Playgrounds 2 is the same feature-wise across all platforms, aim to launch all versions on the same day
NBA Playgrounds was a bit of a mess for its Switch launch. It didn't contain all the features of the other versions, and those features took quite some time to make their way over to the game. Can we expect the same thing to happen with NBA Playgrounds 2? Saber CEO Matthew Karch told Polygon that's not going to be the case.
“I can say with confidence that all four platforms are in parity feature-wise, and that our plan right now is to release all four platforms on the same day. The circumstances weren’t entirely within our ability to dictate (with the first game). Our mistake was not being more upfront about everything that was happening.
We came at NBA Playgrounds 2 with a long list of features and improvements we wanted to deliver, as well as the lessons we learned from the original, all of which combine to make this sequel feel warranted, and we hope fans agree when they get their hands on it
Strange as it sounds, my personal hope is players enjoy the huge improvements we’ve made to the progression system, and that results in a lower overall adoption of the unlock this time around.”
