NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 Cheats and Tips
NBA Playgrounds 2 is the sequel to the original game and takes streetballing to the next level with improved online matchmaking with dedicated servers, four-player online matches, three-point contests, new playgrounds, and custom matches.
- How to Shoot
As with the other NBA 2K games, you still need to hold and release the Square button on PS4 or the X button on Xbox One, or pull back and release the right thumbstick to shoot in NBA 2K Playgrounds 2.
- How to Dunk
To be able to dunk the ball in NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 you first need to be sprinting. Then to dunk the ball you need to hold down the R2 on PS4 or R4 on Xbox One while driving to the ring and shooting.
- How to Improve Your Chances
To improve your chances of scoring you simply release the shot when you are in the 'green' target area of the shot meter. If your player has high dunk or shooting stats, the 'green' area will be larger. On the other hand if your stats are not good the margin for success will be smaller.
And if you are attempting a highly contested half-court shot, the area for success will remain red or, if you are lucky, orange. Remember you can always check your player cards, or work to upgrade them.
Got a cheat or hot tip for this game? Found a secret, or a strategy for success?
To get the In the Zone achievement/trophy you must activate Hot Streak by scoring 4 consecutive shots. The easiest way in which to do this is to start up an Exhibition match and score 4 consecutive baskets against the other team. You can make unlocking this achievement/trophy even easier by doing this with a boosting partner or a second controller.
To get the Intensive Training achievement/trophy you need to improve one legendary player to gold level. As you work towards getting the Sweat and Tears achievement/trophy which requires you to reach user level 50 you will earn Baller Bucks and XP towards your player.
All you need to do is use the Baller Bucks you earn to buy a legendary player and keep scoring with that player. The levels in NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 are bronze, silver and gold. You can make unlocking this achievement/trophy even easier by levelling up with a second controller in an Exhibition match.
To get the Avid Collector achievement/trophy you must buy 25 packs of any kind. As you work towards getting the Sweat and Tears achievement/trophy which requires you to reach user level 50 you will earn Baller Bucks. All you need to do is use this in-game currency to buy player packs at the in-game store. The cheapest packs are 1500 Baller Bucks. Simply buy 25 of them to unlock the achievement/trophy.
To get the NBA Baller Supreme achievement/trophy you must win an NBA Season on NBA difficulty. This is not easy to do as NBA difficulty is the hardest difficulty in the game and the defenses you face will punish you if you make a mistake. They will try to steal the ball from you whenever you have it and rarely miss shots.
The way to make getting this achievement/trophy easier is to purchase Lebron James and Shaquille O'Neal from the L.A. Lakers as soon as you can and then level them up to gold and complete all of their challenges to make them diamond. During games have Shaq try and grab rebounds of the opposing teams' missed shots and keep Lebron on defense to try and steal the ball. Try to always score with alley-oops as the AI of NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 struggles to defend against them.
Take a look at the video below to find out how you can quickly earn Baller Bucks by farming them from the game's three point contest mode. Baller Bucks is the currency used in NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 to unlock more cards so knowing how to earn it quickly and easily is essential for helping your progression in the game.
