Audio settings won’t save

Players report they can’t turn off the game music. It appears that the audio settings won’t save and quickly revert to default.

every time I want to turn the music and announcer off, it reverts back. please fix this.

Black screen on full screen

Other players can’t actually enjoy the game in full screen mode due to black screen issues. They are forced to play in windowed mode in order to get rid of the black screen.

If I set the game to full screen i get stuck on a black screen and i have to alt+enter to get it to go back to windowed to be able to play.

Fatal error

Trying to play my first Exhibition match and the game gets stuck on 10% on the loading screen then crashes and gives a simple “Fatal Error” crash message. My gfx driver is updated and I’ve restarted my computer.

If you’ve encountered this error, verify the integrity of your game files.

Online Match is greyed out

In order to use the Online Match option, you need to unlock it first. Play through the tournament mode, and the Online Match will unlock after you win.

Jumped into the game and “Online Match” is greyed out? Anybody know how to access it? It’s not available.

If you can’t use your controller to play NBA Playgrounds, rest assured, you’re not the only one. As a quick workaround, unplug and then plug the controller back in.
