VC permeates the MyTeam way again, also. This mode functions as a fantasy-esque build-your-own-team endeavor where you earn card packs to NBA 2K22 MT unlock players one of a roster which spans multiple NBA eras. MyTeam can be captivating for long-time basketball fans such as myself who've Allen Iverson teamed up with Anthony Davis and can take this dream team roster into single-player or multiplayer games. However, the loot-box character of making card packs--which can be acquired by slowly earning MT points via fresh avenues such as challenges, seasonal events, and turning in useless cards, or even by purchasing them together with VC--leaves the reliance on VC unsurprisingly egregious.
MyGM, which puts you into the shoes of a team's General Manager, is a mode worth mentioning. It's a sports management simulation dream, but changes here are only skin deep. You'll go through awkwardly written and animated dialogue situations to handle relationships in your business --like the way I chatted to RJ Barrett about how he used to play clarinet in Buy 2K22 MT order to boost his morale stats, or became the yes-man of head coach Tom Thibodeau to keep him happy. MyGM's menus are also flooded in a means which makes it hard to navigate and get a grasp of how to spend your limited resources and time through the season. I've really enjoyed this mode previously using its RPG-like sensibilities, but it's one that requires a serious revamp.
