Earlier, Operation Sports revealed that shooting, dunking, and defense are not only the things that you can expect to do on "NBA Playgrounds." The game also comes with a "Lottery Pick" system, wherein they can get short-term bonuses such as extra inches to dunk, super speed shoes, and an increase in shooting percentage.
"NBA Playgrounds" will have over 200 players from the current and previous league rosters once it rolls out in May. It can be purchased digitally for $20. The game is playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
