It's not often you get the chance to play basketball with different people on different continents at the same time. But by luring players away from real basketball courts and into its online multiplayer mode, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 from 2K Games makes it possible.

Players from all over the world can compete against each other in the game's two-on-two mode. New in comparison to the game's predecessor is also "season mode" which should keep players motivated for longer.

Basketball fans should be happy with the variety of selectable characters, and more than 400 current and former stars are available.

The developers have given them the appropriate moves and animation so that an identification with, for example, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan is even easier. You can also kit your basketball hero out with the appropriate outfit.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is available for the Playstation 4, the Xbox One, the Switch and PCs for around US$35 (RM147). There's no age restriction. – dpa
