Looking back, I just want to go over a few content highlights that got us to where we are today.įirst up, waaaaay back in Season 6 (at least I think it was Season 6, like I said, they blur together), the Radioactive set gave us Dark Matter Tracy McGrady, who even today is an amazing card that I still use often. I think he has, what, 75 cards right now? Or maybe that’s the number of HOF badges on his most recent card? Plus, the amount of options for players of different play styles and budgets is impressive, especially if you like LeBron James. Not only that, but if I open a pack in July, pulling a galaxy opal gets a sigh and an eye-roll, which is telling.ĭon’t get me wrong, even though MyTeam is in full-blown fantasy land, I’m still having fun with the insane cards. And now in July, pink diamonds no longer exist, as every pack or reward card is galaxy opal or better. A pink diamond in June had four times the amount of hall of fame badges that the best card of the game in March had. The amount of content this year is awesome (free and paid), especially compared to previous years, but unfortunately, the cards are all at a place now where they are all basically interchangeable. Having some distance is nice, though, as it allows me to really reflect on the most memorable (and important) aspect of these MyTeam seasons, which to me is (and always has been) the content. I’ve gotten all of those rewards, and enjoyed the structure that XP brought, but I guess at some point I was expecting a new season to bring something groundbreaking - and no, Triple Threat Spotlight Sims don’t count. There’s a level 40 XP reward, which everything else orbits around, and that’s about it. NBA 2K21 MyTeam Year In ReviewĢK did a nice job of making previous seasons all feel cosmetically different, but as I think back on it all now, they still definitely blur together. That reboot is just around the corner with the release of 2K22.īut before I get into all that, I want to briefly discuss NBA 2K21 MyTeam’s Season 6 ( Glitched Reality), 7 ( Full Throttle), and 8 ( Trial of Champions). It’s also the reason I’m going with the NBA 2K21 MyTeam year in review here with this article.īefore getting to that, I just have to say there’s just something really exciting about starting over with lower-tier cards and figuring out how to build a winning squad with flawed (aka “normal”) players. If anything, it’s quite the opposite and I’ve been going crazy these last couple of months - to the point where I’m actually kind of happy that the year is coming to an end with Season 9 (supposedly). It’s definitely been a while since my last post, but I can’t say it’s because “the mode is dead” and I stopped playing MyTeam altogether.
