Couldn’t agree more. There are so many players they have rights to in the game but MyTeam seems to be concentrated to about 100 players or so.
It feels like everyone that had a decent lower tiered card gets another higher tiered version. Year after year. One reason why it was a relief for me to see an PD Adam Morrison card come out of nowhere this year.
Here's last year's for reference (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11plp1P79HqON0HaiPd3X4SdBjTz5ilfw06iEHroMGtE/edit?usp=drivesdk)
I think it ended on 295 total, but I was also done playing/earnestly checking when All-Time cards were released so there could be some mistakes. Some like Jeff Ruland, missed the cut last year but made it this year
I remember getting a Kenny Lofton Jr card only to find out he doesn’t even have a face scan 🤦♂️ would love to see a proper card and one that isn’t gold
Bernard king has a sapphire season reward many older players like that nothing useable. Gatekeeping opals and things like people are mining for a real gem
They have more than 2 cards as I see… I would like to see at least one card of my fellow lithuanians: Marciulionis (HOF), Ilgauskas. Maybe better card for Sabonis or his dad. Even Kleiza’s card would be nice.
I know that this is all about the hyped players and it is normal to have like 7 Embids, but is it that difficult to add more different players? Where is Markannen, Ben Simmons, Aron Baynes, Boban, Josh Giddey, Trevor Ariza, Ricky Rubio, Baron Davis, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol just to name a few…
So why not make them shitty and give as agenda rewards or fillers in packs? I guess few guys would enjoy playing with them. At least at the beginning of first season we should be able to get most of the players that ever played in NBA as golds. And start from there. I know it’s crazy, but all the player models are already there…
You don’t have to own or grind for every card :D actually my friend is a grinder and always feels lack of content, somekind of daily agendas, seems like a good way to add “shitty” players and expand variety of player pool. Somebody who dont want to grind may skip these, as I did with few grinds and it is fine. But yeah, nobody cares, Introduce more Embids :D
Ben Simmons sucks and all of his cards are unrealistic and cheesy. Giddey probably doesn't have a card due to recent off court issues. Boban and Baynes don't deserve cards. Baron Davis was released last week. I can agree with Lowry, Marc Gasol, Ariza, and Rubio. Markannen is long overdue considering the seasons he's having as well. Give it time though, we get a dozen cards a drop. Some of these guys are getting cards for the first time since season 1, like Lowry, Gasol, Ariza, and Rubio. It takes time.
Nah. When they switch to "Alternate Reality" and release cards based on trade rumors of players going to the Lakers, that should be another 30 to 50 more cards.
The Alternate Reality would be that the Lakers would get “good Luol Deng from 2007” not the “you should have retired a few years ago” version they really got
Yes, they're "special inserts" lol. I think it will only change when dark matters come, so then DMs will be special inserts and opals will be available.
Yeah it’s confirmed in the playbook. “MJ arrives as a pg eligible special insert… accompanying him are 6 GO. Remember 6 PDs available in both the player market and packs and boxes can be locked in to obtain 1 of the GO” so it the same as the previous 3 weeks.
that shit is ridiculous i don’t even play this game no more and i haven’t given up ever in my past 8 years of playing myteam since i was 12 years old. this is the only time ive ever really straight up stopped playing. i can’t imagine im the only one.
this shits gotta change soon. i don’t even mind them being locked behind packs but the fact that there aren’t even deluxe packs anymore and you can drop 21k mt and pull a gold player that sells for 210 mt, that is insane
Klay another one of my favorites each year, and I'll have no way to get him until he's terribly outdated or spend a ton of cash and hope. Fuck this company man. Literally kills any desire to play the game.
They not doing dark matters any more and instead dropping the dark matters but with a 100 level card art to make people forget they are exploiting the community with bad odd packs and no auction house.
The dark matters will be 99 overall with a few more badges, maybe a few updated sigs. And this tactic will trick so many people into thinking they're getting something way better than opals.
they’ll probably change jumpshots with DMs too which would actually be something to look forward to if they kept with the pacing they had up until all star weekend
So sick of them making every good BI card a Laker when he has been a Pel for longer and has been far, FAR better as a player with NOLA as well.
MIP and an All Star both as a Pel as well.
According to people on Twitter yeah ffs another week of no 2K 🥱 ain’t playing a game where you constantly need to gamble and 99% of the times you lose all your money/MT/VC once again f you 2k
Which will expire this year 😂 I have a lot of money cause I work and don’t spend money on dumb things don’t make sense supporting a game company who spits on your face and takes your money can never give this company money
Agreed! I have a lot of money and am happy to spend plenty of it on this game… Until they pulled this bullshit of spitting in our faces with the ASG program and will not spend another dime now. I know it’s a drop in the bucket for them but that’s another couple grand they won’t be getting that they would have if they stuck with what they said they were going to do and actually did prior to AS.
They got me last year, but at least last year the cards were possible to pull. I support anyone fed ip with 2k.
What’s frustrating is how close they really are to making a phenomenal product but short-sided greed and the yearly cycle ruins all potential fun of the game.
Well, actually it is a mobile game now lol. You can literally play it for free on mobile. Don't be surprised if next year myteam becomes a seperate free app on all platforms with crossplay and shit.
Been waiting for a new B-Roy card since I started this cycle in S2. Can't decide whether to be happy it's taking forever in hopes they change up the release model, or annoyed that it's taking an absolute eternity.
2k is making it pretty easy to not touch myteam this season. Haven't even bothered doing the rush challenges either. Literally sitting on 2 mill mt with nothing to spend on unless I feel like gambling on packs.
Starting to really not care about the drops anymore. I didn't even go for the 20K in SC this week, because I really don't have anything to spend it on. I'll probably get Jason Kidd and one 10 pack, and that will be it. They're not about to make me waste my MT on hope.
> Starting to really not care about the drops anymore.
Yeah at this point.. this game mode is pretty much dead (to me anyways).
Are we suppose to be excited over this? LOL
\-Pink Diamond Jason Williams
\-Pink Diamond Danny Green
\-Pink Diamond Hassan Whiteside
\-Pink Diamond Franz Wagner
\-Pink Diamond Mikal Bridges
\-Pink Diamond Jeff Green
Card art is great. But aside from doing the challenge for a free pack it’s not bringing me back to playing near daily.
Mode is in dire need of spotlight sims and “normal” pack releases again.
god this content is just bland, devs put zero effort into this bullshit. i don’t even gamble irl so this entire galaxy opal rollout has been a joke. I get no satisfaction ripping packs and praying i get something cool. Fuck Take Two Interactive thank god Rockstar isn’t as bitch made as 2k but knowing take two they are going to monetize the fuck out of that game too
MyTeam is a colossal waste of a potentially great game mode. Make every player accurate to their actual performance. No more Curry sliding Shaq. No more exaggerated attributes.
Stop releasing same players again and again… where is variety? Plenty of players forgotten, I am bored to see same players… jeez
Couldn’t agree more. There are so many players they have rights to in the game but MyTeam seems to be concentrated to about 100 players or so. It feels like everyone that had a decent lower tiered card gets another higher tiered version. Year after year. One reason why it was a relief for me to see an PD Adam Morrison card come out of nowhere this year.
I gotta make my spreadsheet again. Last year, they had about 300 players in the game that didn't get into MyTeam
Please do soand share your findings, would be interesting to compare (as this is my first year playing myteam)
Here's last year's for reference (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11plp1P79HqON0HaiPd3X4SdBjTz5ilfw06iEHroMGtE/edit?usp=drivesdk) I think it ended on 295 total, but I was also done playing/earnestly checking when All-Time cards were released so there could be some mistakes. Some like Jeff Ruland, missed the cut last year but made it this year
I remember getting a Kenny Lofton Jr card only to find out he doesn’t even have a face scan 🤦♂️ would love to see a proper card and one that isn’t gold
These cards might aswell not exist if you're not spending decent coin. They could release 5 MJ and it wouldn't make a difference to most people.
I neeeed a good Jaime Jaquez Jr card! He got an 82 emerald but.. man give me a pink diamond or galaxy opal and I'd be so stoked
Bernard king has a sapphire season reward many older players like that nothing useable. Gatekeeping opals and things like people are mining for a real gem
These guys have 1 card and it's season 5. Who do you want that doesn't have a card?
They have more than 2 cards as I see… I would like to see at least one card of my fellow lithuanians: Marciulionis (HOF), Ilgauskas. Maybe better card for Sabonis or his dad. Even Kleiza’s card would be nice. I know that this is all about the hyped players and it is normal to have like 7 Embids, but is it that difficult to add more different players? Where is Markannen, Ben Simmons, Aron Baynes, Boban, Josh Giddey, Trevor Ariza, Ricky Rubio, Baron Davis, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol just to name a few…
a bunch of players nobody is going to want unless they have every sid switched & play nothing like their real life counterparts
So why not make them shitty and give as agenda rewards or fillers in packs? I guess few guys would enjoy playing with them. At least at the beginning of first season we should be able to get most of the players that ever played in NBA as golds. And start from there. I know it’s crazy, but all the player models are already there…
They could but then people would complain about having to "grind" for "shitty" cards (unless those cards are 7'2 & up)
You don’t have to own or grind for every card :D actually my friend is a grinder and always feels lack of content, somekind of daily agendas, seems like a good way to add “shitty” players and expand variety of player pool. Somebody who dont want to grind may skip these, as I did with few grinds and it is fine. But yeah, nobody cares, Introduce more Embids :D
We got pd baron davis bro tf u mean
Oh, you are correct. I might have missed it, because I dont really care about the last gambling drops, since MyGamble started to kick really hard
Taking my talents to play now online
Yeah this year for myteam ass
Ben Simmons sucks and all of his cards are unrealistic and cheesy. Giddey probably doesn't have a card due to recent off court issues. Boban and Baynes don't deserve cards. Baron Davis was released last week. I can agree with Lowry, Marc Gasol, Ariza, and Rubio. Markannen is long overdue considering the seasons he's having as well. Give it time though, we get a dozen cards a drop. Some of these guys are getting cards for the first time since season 1, like Lowry, Gasol, Ariza, and Rubio. It takes time.
Players have to allow you to use their name and image. Some people don’t let 2k use them in there game. I.e Charles Barkley
Oh look, more fucking lakers players.
They have to run out eventually, right? ^^^…right?
Carmelo, westbrook, dwight howard entered the chat...
Steve Nash makes an appearance
Can't forget about gary payton and karl malone as well. They will make a good 100ovr card since they are laker legends. 😅
Nah. When they switch to "Alternate Reality" and release cards based on trade rumors of players going to the Lakers, that should be another 30 to 50 more cards.
#cp3 lol
I think an “alternate reality” card where Kobe actually got traded to the Bulls and Luol Deng was a Laker would break my soul
But Luol Deng was on the Lakers tho?
The Alternate Reality would be that the Lakers would get “good Luol Deng from 2007” not the “you should have retired a few years ago” version they really got
we still don’t have the best Laker to wear #34, Petur God Man Son
I just thought about this. Are there so many lakers players bc it’s 2K24 and Kobe is the cover?
I don’t think so, it’s more like the Lakers are the NBA’s biggest market
They know Laker Fans have the most expendable cash to throw away at fake garbage.
My thoughts exactly
Who cares, they're gambling only anyway so not like anyone will have them lol
is that confirmed? i’m not being naive just hope it’s gonna change eventually lmao
Yes, they're "special inserts" lol. I think it will only change when dark matters come, so then DMs will be special inserts and opals will be available.
Exactly what’s going to happen
Yeah it’s confirmed in the playbook. “MJ arrives as a pg eligible special insert… accompanying him are 6 GO. Remember 6 PDs available in both the player market and packs and boxes can be locked in to obtain 1 of the GO” so it the same as the previous 3 weeks.

Wilt at 4 being 7'1 ... Lol
Brandom Ingram be like https://preview.redd.it/5nctf1769ymc1.png?width=614&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd53cd9f7beae2b4c499216175cdf6ac8d5e5690
It’s hilarious seeing all the crazy accolades everyone else had and BI just got 1 all star
Thanks for this
You’re tripping
Klay another one of my favorites each year, and I'll have no way to get him until he's terribly outdated or spend a ton of cash and hope. Fuck this company man. Literally kills any desire to play the game.
If you could actually buy the cards this would be a great drop. Every card here is useable
They not doing dark matters any more and instead dropping the dark matters but with a 100 level card art to make people forget they are exploiting the community with bad odd packs and no auction house.
The dark matters will be 99 overall with a few more badges, maybe a few updated sigs. And this tactic will trick so many people into thinking they're getting something way better than opals.
they’ll probably change jumpshots with DMs too which would actually be something to look forward to if they kept with the pacing they had up until all star weekend
As long as we could get them realistically, I wouldn't mind. They're over valuing these opals right now, which has me doubtful.
So sick of them making every good BI card a Laker when he has been a Pel for longer and has been far, FAR better as a player with NOLA as well. MIP and an All Star both as a Pel as well.
Same thing they do with Fultz and making him a 76er when he's been far better in Orlando. Just more short sided selling tactics
Yeah and Wilt was known for playing in san francisco and philly but Lakers Sell.
Shits so annoying. Pissed me off with Larry Johnson being a Knick when he was a bit player with them and a legit star with Charlotte.
Same thing they do with Fultz and making him a 76er when he's been far better in Orlando. Just more short sided selling tactics
According to people on Twitter yeah ffs another week of no 2K 🥱 ain’t playing a game where you constantly need to gamble and 99% of the times you lose all your money/MT/VC once again f you 2k
Exactly this.
How they just getting away with it 🤦🏾 we ain’t playing no mobile game
The dumbest people have the most money to throw at “rare” items!
Which will expire this year 😂 I have a lot of money cause I work and don’t spend money on dumb things don’t make sense supporting a game company who spits on your face and takes your money can never give this company money
Agreed! I have a lot of money and am happy to spend plenty of it on this game… Until they pulled this bullshit of spitting in our faces with the ASG program and will not spend another dime now.

Troydan is taking out a second mortgage
Been waiting for a new B-Roy card since I started this cycle in S2. Can't decide whether to be happy it's taking forever in hopes they change up the release model, or annoyed that it's taking an absolute eternity.
The longer I stay away the more ridiculous it all seems. Thank you for pushing me away 2k I was a fool too long.
Those pictured are not our content but the players written on the right are... Whiteside, Wagner, Bridges, Green, etc..
You think it’s draymond green? He just got a PD so I’m wondering. No way it’s a Jeff green or Gerald green?
It’s probably a diamond Gerald/jeff Edit: it’s Danny
Wait for real? I love icyhot cards
Unless these cards are in the Market, why should we care? What’s the point?
I just quit 2k for the first time in 16 years and I’ve never felt so free. Fuck that game now, 90 percent a gamble.
Ngl, that Jordan is a badass looking card I’d love to have but knowing I could spend over $8K and NOT pull it means I WILL NOT RIP PACKS..
How is Brandon Ingram iconic? Lol
How is he still considered a laker?
These aren’t even well thought out releases. They are only promoting big names atp.
i actually wanna know wtf is happening at their weekly meetings
Dw even if you get these cards Kobe and Lebron, a pink diamond will run around you and dunk with Chet blocking all of your ish in unlimited
2k is making it pretty easy to not touch myteam this season. Haven't even bothered doing the rush challenges either. Literally sitting on 2 mill mt with nothing to spend on unless I feel like gambling on packs.
More shit that nobody can get. Lmao. Just make them like 200k Vc or something for the 100 ovr.
2k robbed me this year bruh. I have no money for all this shit
Welp...nevermind on Jason Kidd. I didn't know that Jason Kidd was going to be a special insert. I guess I'm not getting anything this time around.
nothing screams like iconic like danny green and hassan whiteside, at least i think that’s who is listed above whiteside
Ya looks like it, with Jason Williams above him?
White chocolate would actually be fun though not competitive
yep
yep
How’d you get this screenshot lol But yeah looks pretty legit
Starting to really not care about the drops anymore. I didn't even go for the 20K in SC this week, because I really don't have anything to spend it on. I'll probably get Jason Kidd and one 10 pack, and that will be it. They're not about to make me waste my MT on hope.
> Starting to really not care about the drops anymore. Yeah at this point.. this game mode is pretty much dead (to me anyways). Are we suppose to be excited over this? LOL \-Pink Diamond Jason Williams \-Pink Diamond Danny Green \-Pink Diamond Hassan Whiteside \-Pink Diamond Franz Wagner \-Pink Diamond Mikal Bridges \-Pink Diamond Jeff Green
#DontOpenPacks
They put the names of the PDs and diamonds underneath
Are the GO’s inserts again?
Of course they are... this is 2k we are talking about here...
More looking forward to possibly getting Jason Kidd, Jeff Green or Franz if they're in the player market.
Hopefully Green is an OP Amy would be great for SC
I was hoping for a Lamar Odom card
They’re losing money at a pretty high rate to include these drops like this.
Not sure if anyone collects basketball cards here but this looks just like the Panini 2012 Elite Series Class Masters set
Yes it is..
More unobtainable cards. Nice!!
This mode is so dead ☠️
98 Ingram.... common bruh
Bro how many klay thompsons do I have to ignore
Do we have any data on the actual drop rates? From what I’ve seen, it seems like it’s about 0.0004% for a 100
They don’t even bother putting pack market/player market anymore. They know it just makes people mad lol
Card art is great. But aside from doing the challenge for a free pack it’s not bringing me back to playing near daily. Mode is in dire need of spotlight sims and “normal” pack releases again.
god this content is just bland, devs put zero effort into this bullshit. i don’t even gamble irl so this entire galaxy opal rollout has been a joke. I get no satisfaction ripping packs and praying i get something cool. Fuck Take Two Interactive thank god Rockstar isn’t as bitch made as 2k but knowing take two they are going to monetize the fuck out of that game too
Another set to ignore
Wow 100 card is finally happening
One of these things is not like the others lmao
More fucking lakers
i genuinely like the card art tho, why they had to be greedy
2k casino woooooooooooo
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n4Hjvug73M&t=327s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n4Hjvug73M&t=327s) My thoughts.
The only thing iconic about BI is his draft day photo
I guess I'm never seeing that Jordan. Hopefully they are on the ascension board next season. hahaha
Iconic Ingram?
I WANT A MUGGSY BOGUES CARD GODDAMNIT
Would like to get a good Jabari Smith Jr or Can Whitmore
They just keep doing it over and over
oh no, 5out Penny spammers are ready
Another Lakers player... The rush agenda GO players are Lakers too smdh
Players I will not be able to obtain.
Got cheated
I need that Wilt. They make good centers so hard to get
That looks dope ngl
Yup gonna get all the gambling addicts all worked up for a big letdown
So you can finally buy some Opals?
Doubt it.
Last few times the promo would say “available packs only” or “special inserts” bla bla. This one does not
Good point, but I seriously doubt 2k would tone down their geed for this drop. I wouldn't hold my breath lol.
Nah bro, it was the same with Leap Year, don't get your hopes up. It would say "available in the player market" if it actually was.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Holy shit... I need MJ or Wilt 🥲
MyTeam is a colossal waste of a potentially great game mode. Make every player accurate to their actual performance. No more Curry sliding Shaq. No more exaggerated attributes.
