"Former EA developers, now making games as Play by Play Studios, are taking a shot at a new officially licensed NBA game called NBA The Run. It will feature 3v3 gameplay with recognizable faces from across the world of basketball. Players will be able to take part in knockout tournaments and face off against both current NBA stars and fictional characters, blending classic basketball gameplay with creative matchups. Bobbito Garcia, who served as announcer for several NBA Street games, returns to provide commentary."
"Play by Play Studios emphasized NBA The Run's rollback netcode system--an online multiplayer technology that predicts players' inputs to reduce lag, then corrects any mismatches by rolling back and resimulating the game for smoother, near-real-time play. Rollback netcode is especially popular in the fighting game community for keeping matches responsive and fair even with high latency. Iconic courts from around the world, including Rucker Park, Venice Beach, and The Tenement in Taguig, Philippines, will also be playable."
