NBA 2K19 brings back another season of MyTeam for the virtual basketball card collecting lovers. MyTeam is basically the “Dream Team” mode which allows players to complete challenges and unlock card packs with the hope of assembling the greatest team ever. This NBA 2K19 MyTeam guide will help you understand the basics of this very intriguing game mode.
At the beginning of the game mode, you will be asked to select your favorite team. You can actually pick your favorite team or you can pick the team of the star player you would like to build your team around. If you choose to select the Golden State Warriors, you will receive their home and away uniforms, their stadium and logo card, and a 89 overall rated Kevin Durant card.
You will be able to collect many different cards throughout this game mode. Players can also purchase collector packs using Virtual Currency (VC) that may include a highly rated player and up to four other cards to help build your team. There are new packs that are put out to be purchased or won as a reward. There are also different levels and gems for each player that represent better skills and badges that affect the players gameplay for the better. Upon initial entry of the MyTeam single player game mode, you can trade in your tokens for an Emerald player. The access to Emerald players continues until you open up the Sapphires, then Ruby and it continues up the gem level ladder to Galaxy Opal. Each time you level up the gem ladder, the better that certain player will become.
After that, MyTeam allows you to do basically whatever you want. I would highly recommend scrolling over to the Single Player tab, and selecting Freestyle, which is essentially the practice mode. This mode lets you play around with the top three rated players on your MyTeam. It’s a great opportunity for getting their shooting mechanics down before you head into a game.
When you finally feel comfortable with your team, you can check out the Single Player tab of NBA 2K19’s MyTeam mode. Select the Domination mode, and you’ll be taken to a screen with a series of challenges on it. Select NBA Domination, and you’ll see the screen just below, where you can take on every team from each conference in the NBA. Every time you beat a team in this single player mode, you will be rewarded with VC (Virtual Currency) based on your performance, as well as certain packs with players from the team you beat, depending on how well you play in that game.
This is a quick and easy, but somewhat challenging way to improve your NBA 2K19 MyTeam and skills in the early parts of the game mode. The Single Player tab has some great modes and ways for you earn a lot of VC pretty quickly, especially if you can get your shooting mechanics and dribbling moves down to perfection in the practice mode.
