NBA 2K19 MyTEAM Will Bring New Gem Level, New Modes, And Many Improvements
Many basketball fans around the world are waiting for the release of arguably the best basketball video game, NBA 2K19. The video game will be released on September 11, or four days earlier if you preorder it, and it will bring many improvements. MyTEAM, which is one of the most popular modes in this franchise, will get some big changes, including a new gem level.
2K Sports senior producer Erick Boenisch announced that the development team “identified a number of things that we could do a lot better,” and it seems that the improvement will be the focus of NBA 2K19.
Pack tiers
The first big improvement that is coming to NBA 2K19 is tiered card packs. Players will be able to choose different tiers of packs and drop rates will be much better. Additionally, if a player chooses to open a Throwaway pack, for example, there will be a guaranteed drop of a Throwaway player in the pack.
New content
Another improvement will be the release timing of new content. According to the senior producer, this hasn’t been handled well in NBA 2K18 and will improve in the upcoming game. Also, if the development team decides to not release new content, there will be a drastic increase in locker codes!
The best thing about NBA 2K19 MyTEAM may be the fact that players will be able to pull Amethyst players on day 1! Diamond players will also be available much earlier, and there will even be a Pink Diamond player released in September!
MyTEAM Unlimited
MyTEAM Unlimited will be a new online mode available in NBA 2K19. This mode will require players to bring their 13 best players, and it will also have valuable rewards for those who can win most games. There will be no lineup restrictions, and players will be able to earn MT, card packs, reward tokens, and much more!
As you can see in the screenshot above, there will be different rewards based on your performance. Players will have to win as many games as possible before losing three of them. If they go 12-0, they will receive an exclusive Player of the Month reward. There will be a new reward each month, and these players will only be available in MyTEAM Unlimited mode.
Galaxy Opal tier
NBA 2K19 will bring a new tier of cards in MyTEAM mode, Galaxy Opal. So far, we only know one Galaxy Opal card, Isiah Thomas. This card will be obtained by completing the collection of Player of the Month cards. This will be an extremely difficult task, but completing it will be worth it as this tier is the best tier in the entire game.
Triple Threat mode
Triple Threat will be another new mode in NBA 2K19, and it will include a new single-player experience. If you are tired of playing 5-0n-5 single-player basketball in MyTEAM mode, Triple Threat may be the mode for you!
This mode will be all about 3-on-3 action and it will require you to beat all 30 NBA teams. Before every game, you will have the ability to randomly select an NBA team to play with, and if you beat a team for the first time, you may receive a special MT prize. Defeating every division will reward players with reward tokens.
After players defeat every single division, a new Triple Threat board will open, and this board will have some of the best rewards in the mode. Players will match up against best franchise players of all time in this mode, and players will be able to earn some exclusive rewards by beating them.
Triple Threat will also have an online mode where players will match up against other human players. This will be similar to the Gauntlet mode and will reward players with up to five rewards after a win.
Beside these new modes, Domination will still be available in NBA 2K19 MyTEAM, and players will also be able to play Challenges. There will also be a new feature called Daily Trials which will further help NBA 2K players improve their MyTEAM roster.
Reward Tokens
NBA 2K19 will have Reward Tokens players will be able to spend on special rewards. No matter what MyTEAM content players complete, they will be given reward tokens which will be redeemable in the Reward Market.
Players will start by spending their Reward Tokens on emerald players and will move one tier up with each purchase until a Galaxy Opal tier.
What makes Reward Tokens even more exciting is the fact that players will be able to use to purchase new packs before they even get released in the Park Market. Players will also be able to buy exclusive cards which won’t be obtainable from packs.
There will be many more changes to MyTEAM mode and it seems that the game developer is going to release a great product for all of those who enjoy virtual basketball. Keep in mind, preordering NBA 2K19 Anniversary Edition rewards players with 20 MyTEAM League packs, 10 Heat Check packs, Sapphire LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo cards, and 50,000 MyTEAM points!
