At last the first patch for NBA Playgrounds on the Nintendo Switch has finally arrived, the news coming via the ‘News’ section of the Nintendo Switch menu.

With the game now updated to 1.1.3 it now has full online play, ranked leaderboards and of course you can challenge your friends.

The patch also fixes another issue with the game, the entire shooting system. The timing for shots has been adjusted and a meter added for extra clarity. It’s one of the big issues we had with the game in our review.

Fifteen new players have been added to the game’s roster including Isaiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman. All fifteen new characters can be unlocked regularly through player packs, earned during the tournament or when levelling up your profile.

With online added and one of the big problems with the mechanics of the game fixed, will you be checking out the game now?
