game is a nice throwback, definitely worth the price tag.

I've played a single online game against a Ray Allen/Stockton combo, Jesus went 21/23 from three even though I contested nearly every single shot and he was extremely predictable, opponent didn't even try to build up his lottery picks and even with 3 or 4 of my own and trading buckets I just couldn't keep up with the threes and realized too late how easy it was to splash them, something has to change there in terms of defender proximity effecting opponents shot percentages otherwise a lot of H2H online games will just boil down to a race past half-court to hit a three and spam steal/push on D.

I finished all the tournaments within the first day or two, some really entertaining and moderately challenging games there, hope they add some more tiers to the tournaments, daily/weekly challenges etc., in other words I'm praying for consistent updates/support from Saber in terms of offline content to keep the interest and gameplay sustainable for the life of Playgrounds, they can do big things here if done right.

I run a gold combo of Porzingis/Embiid, ran through about 80% of all tournament games with them as my go-to (6 to 7+ on dunks, 8 to 10+ on blocks, 6 to 7+ on threes), other notables I've used for a minute are Epic Ray Allen, Epic Stockton, Legend Big O, Legend LeBron, Legend Pippen, Legend Mailman, Epic Kawhi, Epic C-Webb, Epic Deke, Epic Ewing, Grandmama, Epic Reed, Epic Kidd and Chris Mullin, half of them are gold level, and the rest silver so far.

the only trophies I've yet to complete are the 7 steals and 15 steals challenges, I can't get the timing down consistently yet. I've had multiple 6 steal, feels completely random how successful I can be from one game to the next vs. the same opponents.

I'm still on the hunt for Legend AI and Legend Dream, that's The dynamic duo to me and I've seen them actually both pulled in the same silver pack on reddit, crazy luck.

Edit: Legend Steph Curry, Epic John Wall and James Worthy added to the collection in my last silver pack for jumping up a level, still can't beat those challenges though.

Completely agree the developers have to balance the three point shots. I wrote a post on the previous page explaing some areas I think they could do to improve this.

Yes, you have to release a layup like a jump shot and not a dunk. Release as soon as your player goes up for a layup
