NBA 2K21 MyTeam New Features Announced

First, the most important announcement is related to the transition between the current and next-generation consoles. If you who start your NBA 2K21 MyTEAM experience with the launch of PS4/Xbox One on September 4, your entire collection AND progress will carry over once you start playing the next-generation version of the game. This means you will have access to all of your pulled and earned cards. The only limit is that this only works across matching generations on the same account. Specifically, PS4 to PS5 works. Xbox One to Xbox Series X works.

Seasons will be about 6 weeks in length. During the Season, you will be working to complete Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal-based objectives. As objectives are completed, you will earn XP that will be used to raise your Season Level. Every time you level up, you will earn a reward. Reaching the final level within a Season earns you the grand prize for the Season. 2K announced the prize for reaching the highest level in Season 1: Pink Diamond Steph Curry. 

MyTEAM Limited is a brand new MyTEAM game mode for NBA 2K21. This new mode is only available for play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday each week. The twist here is that the rules for the mode will be changing every single weekend. For example, one weekend they may limit you to players 23 years old and younger or all players in your lineup need to be Ruby or lower. MyTEAM Limited is an online 5v5 multiplayer mode where you will compete against MyTEAM players for Championship Rings.

This year, Unlimited will consist of 9 Leagues that you need to play through before you can reach the top. Every League in MyTEAM Unlimited 2.0 will consist of up to 12 games. In order to advance to the next League, you will need to win a certain number of games in your current league. As you move up the league structure, more and more wins will be required to level up. If you have the skill to reach the highest tier, the Galaxy Opal tier, an exclusive prize awaits if you can go 12-0 in that final League.

The Exchange allows you to turn in/exchange your cards for some great prizes! Every Season in MyTEAM this year will feature new Exchanges for you to complete. For example, an Exchange may require you to trade in a Western Conference PG rated 90 or higher and an Eastern Conference PG rated 90 or higher to earn a higher rated player. 

The ability to customize your players with unique badges has returned for NBA 2K21. This means that there will be Badge Cards available in MyTEAM that allow you to both Apply badges and Upgrade badges on players.

New to NBA 2K21, you will now have more control over how some of your Evolution Cards evolve as they tier up. Will you improve Shaq’s rebounding ability or his shot blocking ability. That will be your decission.
