NBA Playgrounds: list of official players
Developed by Saber Interactive, NBA Playgrounds is an officially-licenced basketball game, releasing next month on the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo eShop). This is a game to keep an eye on if you’re looking for some genuine arcade basketball fun (as opposed to the more realistic / simulation offering from other games).
And since NBA Playgrounds is an officially-licenced game, it actually features plenty of real-life players, with a mix of current players and historic stars. Yesterday, the developers revealed the various characters that players will be able to play with.
