NBA Playgrounds Patch 1.03 Available Now For PS4 & Xbox One - Patch Notes

[Murph]

Waiting on Nintendo Switch patch too.

[Mintsa]

I'm 4 players away from unlocking everyone.

Basically when you reach level 50+, you get gold packs, and you atleast get ONE play that ISN'T a repeat.

Just an FYI, if anyone else cares to know.

Also, it's really hard to rank up online after gold level 2. Because 9 out of 10 times the person you play is at least 2 levels below or more and you only get + 5 rep or even + 1 rep only for a win.

But you get -25 rep or - 49 rep if you lose.

You also get one rage quit per night without penalty, anything more you get docked rep points when you turn the game back on.

So I'm pretty much stuck at gold level 2.
