Who do you play with on the 20 point with 2's challenge?

Hmmmm. I think I used my Curry. Just spun at half court with him and did a lay up.

Can't believe they have Robert Parish as a Chicago Bull in this game. Not only did he win 3 of his 4 championships in Boston, but he went into the HOF as a Celtic.

He is one the Celtics too. I got him and he was on the Celtics. I didn't know there were two of them.

been playing this game since launch day and overall its a solid game. just wich it was more like a fighting game in the sense that they would have unique move sets or how they played. mabey have every position a bit more unique. other then just adjusting how well they rebound and steal ect.

since the character basically all play the same it gives me little reason to switch characters. right now i use regular kyrie and kristaps even though i have legend players atm. i dont feel like its going to change much to put in magic or some of the other guys. their real life reputations dont have any bearing on the gameplay.

just something i hope they address in the next game. i think it would help the longevity and replay value of the game. right now its too close to nba jam/arch rivals.

Has anyone played EPIC Durant and EPIC Harden in the finals of the Shanghai tourney?

I have gotten blown out 20-25 times in a row. They are like a CPU cheat code together. They literally hit 95% of their 3's, get an extra point on most of their shots, and steal everything on the fist swipe..

It almost seems impossible to beat them lol

I had the same issue with the Paul/Griffin match in the finals at Paris, kept getting blown out because they would constantly steal the ball from me the second I crossed half court. I finally figured out a decent strategy against the constant steals and managed to blow out Durant and Harden in Shanghai on my first try 57-39. Key is to wait back until your partner crosses half court then pass and shoot a quick three. I'm using Jason Kidd and Ty Lawson, two high 3 pt and high speed guys.

My pack after winning Vegas. Epic Kyrie and Legend Westbrook.

I finished all the tournaments. I only have one challenge to finish and it's 15 steals in the 2nd game of the Vegas tournament. Grrrrr. Lol

FYI- There is a forum where the developers are interacting with the community and responding to suggestions. See below for a link... I have started a thread called "Defense- Balance and Improvements"

https://playgroundsgame.com/support/discussions

The developers have already release a patch. It sounds like they are focused on post-release support.

I also finished all tourney's and all trophy's except for Vegas and 15 steals. Anyone that claims to have gotten that is a flat out liar !!!

A few guys I've seen on youtube have done it. Dribble to top right corner, stand still, let the cpu steal it, steal it back. Best I have done by doing that was only 7 or 8 steals. That was with a Rondo with 10 overall at stealing.

Now with the patch and stealing tied into stamina, woof. This will be even more challenging LOL.

Legend players have signature moves. You can tell what they are when you see "stars" around the player. So far I've only used Harden and Dirk, but Harden has a runner, and Dirk has a step back jumper. There are other signature animations, too. I've seen Dirk's one foot shot, and I think Harden has his own layup.

We should get a thread going for special moves, although it's kind of fun trying to figure them out with each new player. I think they're only for legends.

Can you play couch co-op in the offline tourneys/exhibition?

I do not have a second controller but considering picking one up.

What's the secret for alley oops? I'm always missing them and I been using great point guards like Stockton but I'm getting the timing off.

I also haven't figured out jumping alleyoops like when I'm going for a dunk and having the guy trail and oop it to him.

they need to change the 15 steals challenge to about 10 cause this is too stressful for me

Anyone not finding any games online (ps4) ?

During the demo I'd find a game in seconds.......now that stop watch thing goes for 4-5, more minutes and nothing ?
