Tips for Success
- Study the game. Learn what the “meta” is and take advantage of it.
- You don’t necessarily need the best cards; just cards you are extremely comfortable with. Practice with cards that fit you and become the best you can be with those particular cards.
- Don’t rage at the game. As hard as it might be, composure and execution is what works in 2K.
- Find out your opponent. Quickly pick up how your opponent plays. What plays they run, how they try to score, and how they play on the defensive end of the floor.
Closing Remarks
While the $250,000 Tournament has received much criticism, it is still a staple of the MyTEAM cycle. Gamedays offer Locker Codes, and often some of the best content drops.
