Is MyTEAM an Online feature?

Yes and no. MyTEAM is available both online and offline. You can play the offline modes without having access to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live.

Modes

As we have previously mentioned, there are two types of modes available in 2K21. Online and offline.

Online Modes

There are three main online modes, these are as follows:

MyTEAM Unlimited

A traditional 5v5 mode where players can earn qualification for the MyTEAM Unlimited Tournament!

Triple Threat Online

A more casual mode where players compete in a 3v3 first to 21 in order to earn the chance at unlocking prizes.

MyTEAM Limited

A new mode for NBA 2K21, players compete in a 5v5 tournament but there are unique lineup creation rules each week. Runs from Friday-Sunday.

Offline Modes

For you offline gamers, there are also three modes available.

Triple Threat

The same rules as Triple Threat Online, just offline!

Domination

Play 5v5 against a range of different CPU teams!

Challenges

These change every week, allowing players to take on different challenges in order to unlock exclusive rewards!

How to unlock players

The key to success in MyTEAM is to build the best squad. READ MORE: 5 Reasons to Buy NBA 2K21: New Gameplay Features, MyTEAM, MyCAREER & more There is a variety of ways in which you can do that.

Packs

The way that most people bulk out their club is through the pack market. There is a range of base packs which will stay on the market throughout the year, as well as promotional packs which are ever changing.

Packs can be bought with MT points – which are earned through playing games or selling players – or VC – which can be purchased through your respective market.

Auction House

If you have a specific player in mind, the best place to head is to the Auction House. This is where you can search for the exact card you want!

You can either purchase or sell your players via the Auction House, with the individual selling the card setting their own starting price, with a buy now price optional.

Collections / The Exchange

The third – and probably most unconventional – way to unlock players is through Collections or via The Exchange.

If you complete a full team – for instance the current Boston Celtics – you will earn a special card dedicated to that team. The Exchange – a new feature for 2K21 – gives players a specific set of cards that they have to exchange in order to get a special card in return – a feature which is somewhat similar to FIFA Ultimate Teams Squad Building Challenges.
