For those unaware of what this means for NBA 2K17, MyTeam is essentially a fantasy team mode where players can purchase athlete decks using MyTeam points or virtual currency called VC. As far as Moments Cards are concerned, they’re buffed versions of star players tied to a specific event that happens during the real-world NBA season or in basketball history. Those who pre-ordered NBA 2K16, for example, got a high-value Michael Jordan card featuring a picture from his debut matchup.
In its predecessor, Moments Cards were typically sold in designated Moments Packs that cost about 6,000 VC. For comparison’s sake, 75,000 VC can be purchased digitally from retailers for $19.99.
While 2K Sports remains light on the specifics of Moments Cards in the new game, their return takes the focus off various glitches and bugs that have been bothering NBA 2K17 fans for the past few weeks. Recently, the title’s gameplay designer has struggled with balancing the shot mechanic and fixing issues with specific badges such as the Relentless Finisher. Many patches are still planned, but additions to MyTeam are a nice distraction for hardcore players.
NBA 2K17 is available now on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
