On October 26, 2026, RECUPDATE and UPDATE8 were the two codes confirmed for 4,500 Coins each. You must like the game and join Playground Basketball | Community, then enter the code in the gift box on the main menu. The string is case sensitive.
It is unresolved. Several code roundups still print UPDATE7 for 4,500 Coins, but an October 26, 2026 cross-check did not confirm it. It is not listed as active or expired here. The redeem result in your game is the authority. SEASON3 is listed as expired for 4,500 Coins because multiple roundups mark it expired, even though that same October 26 check called the status disputed.

6'0" and under buys speed and ball handle. 6'7" to 6'8" buys contests and either playmaking or a 99 driving dunk. 7'0" buys post scoring or stretch shooting. Weight trades speed for strength and screens.
Rep, coins, and badge points come from the box score of a finished game. If the opponent leaves early you can get the win and almost no progress. Blocks, rebounds, steals, points, and assists are the actions that move the bar.
