NBA 2K21 is detailing the MyTeam mode, for another year
Another year, another entry in the NBA 2K series and yet again another MyTeam mode, but this year there are some new additions that will change things up in a pretty big way.
There is a massive breakdown of what is coming, what is improved and more on the games official site and you can read that here, but here are the dot points for what has changed.
MyTEAM current-gen progression and collection will seamlessly carry over to the same next-gen console families. In NBA 2K21, your entire MyTEAM collection and progress will seamlessly carry over from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox One to Xbox Series X, so you can enjoy MyTEAM uninterrupted, all year long. Start earning on NBA 2K21 for current gen on September 4 and your entire balance of VC, MyTEAM Points, pulled cards and Tokens will be there later in the year when you upgrade to NBA 2K21 for next gen.
Seasons are new to NBA 2K21. Seasons will bring new content and new ways to play MyTEAM all year long, and best of all, it’s free to participate in and for everyone to play.
Badge Customization and Customizable Evolutions. Badge cards return, allowing you to add and upgrade Badges from Bronze to Hall of Fame. Evolution cards now branch, giving players an opportunity to make new decisions that make their players unique
New MyTEAM Limited Mode/Revamped MyTEAM Unlimited Mode. New MyTEAM Limited mode will be available every Friday-Sunday where every player has the chance to win their championship rings. A new ring will be available each weekend; earn every ring in each season to unlock the best seasonal rewards for Limited. Also, MyTEAM Unlimited is back in NBA 2K21 but revamped! It will consist of 9 leagues you need to play through before you can reach the top!
Another new feature to MyTEAM: The Exchange. Now you can trade in cards you aren’t using for cards that will become staples in your starting lineup, everything has value in MyTEAM for NBA2K21.
MyTEAM’s IDOL Series Collection, will feature some of the NBA’s most memorable players from both the past and the present. Spread across 15 special releases, the IDOLS Series will be THE premium pack collection to covet during NBA 2K21's MyTEAM run. The first pullable Pink Diamond card is coming this September.
The big deal is of course that if you start playing the game on the current gen platforms, then upgrade to the next gen systems, your progress carries across, so you don’t need to start over. But it is important to note that you can’t go from PlayStation to Xbox, or vice versa, it will only work in the same console family, so if you currently own a PlayStation 4 and plan on getting the Series X, you will have to start over.
