idk bout yall but im not a fan of the simple '99' rating instead of a glowing opal like in 2k19. idk, maybe its just nostalgia at work but the premium 'opal' cards just felt soo elite and special back then. now, its like: 99
WHAT's WRONG WITH THE GEM
mtc doesnt have a dm gem yet; q hasnt given it to them or they just didnt add it incase it wasnt the right gem
they could just make one. Add a galaxy background and that's it

Beware! Zion is the face of the NBA and makes them hundreds of millions each year. We have about one year I'd say, maybe 2 max, maybe 6 months, untill ZioN is GOAT in 2k. After one full season (or even half a season of him at 25ppg 10+rpg 4+spg 1.5spg 1.0 bpg at his high efficiency he will be the 2k BEAST like a few others have been. Remember Yao? Yes he was 7'4" and great when healthy, he rarely was healthy... But made the NBA hundreds of millions of dollars. Billions maybe. He was rated high quick.. but also was a video game giant inside with his shooting touch and 7'4" size. Somehow his defense was never the mediocrity it was in his career though. He couldn't move laterally... But it didn't matter. From 2005-2010 in all those 2ks I remember half the games I played online were against houston as everyone cheesed with Yao inside n midrange. He'd anchor D and block 5 shots too. Reality was Yao could never play great D, most guys 7'1 to 7'6 would block 4-8 shots a night if playing 32 minutes a game..... Of course that never mattered to 2k.... I hater it and was often the lAkers my home team, Bynum couldn't stop Yao from going for 45 and 25 in those 2k8 days, Yao would always score more than half the points of those rockets but he was unstoppable. Pick and roll with Tmac and Yao was impossible to guard. Then Lebron was born. He could shoot at 6'8 but was a 2 way monster... By nba 2k9 he was the best, and 2k10-15 the NBA 2K GOAT. He deserved it.. he's amazing talent. But 2k always let his rating be high, but his animations, strength, badges or skills over the years were insane. He was unstoppable. His mediocre 3pt shooting then was never a weakness in 2k. Or his mediocre FT shooting. His defense was good in reality not great to DPOY level like games made him. He was 40/15/10 glory in those 2k10s online. 40 of those 60 team points. Just like Yao, LEBRON made them hundreds of millions in that span and still does. Yes he's still one of the best players in the world. But I'm 2009 he wasn't a lock defensive anchor nor a 3pt shooter. Didn't matter for 2k... But ZION will become gOD of 2k in about a year or so, and very possibly the face of the next 2k22 game. If he plays 25 more games at the same or higher level of efficiency he will become a 90-95 overall God by 2k22, though I'm sure that 2k21 will have a huge update after the nba season starts in the fall. But we all need to brace ourselves. Zion will be a god. You take the fact he is already an all-star caliber player of quality that needs to only improve his shooting (which isn't as big a deal for a PF like himself that can jump and run out of the gym), he will improve. His nonexistent defense to not get in foil trouble will turn into above average defense that is all he needs to become. Though potentially could be a threat on both ends as he acclimated to pace. If Zion could very possibly come out a polished and game impacting 25-30ppg 12rpg 5apg 2spg 1bpg 57%FG in 33mibutrs or so a night. And he doesn't need to improve or shoot 3s to do that. If he can reliably shoot 35% or better from shooting open threes the 4-5 open looks he can take them with confidence. Anything higher than 33% is a positive shooting deep. He can easily be 40% in time. 6 months, or 2 years. Either way he'll be a 95 overall with his huge body and strength and athleticism with those long arms and 45" vertical. But he has high bball IQ like a veteran, he's improved rapidly already. His shots only getting better each month... Each day. This guy is the face of the NBA already after 25 games. He's already up with Lebron in terms of pure fans drawn from their likeness. Zion can jump over you, jump through you, or even hopstep floater or fade on you with finesse. His free throw will go from weakness to a strength. 75% at the least. By then he's a 96 overall with 50 badges Hof. Zion is a great defender. But he's also a great/elite scorer and slasher and creator for himself and others. As a #1 option from day 1 in the NBA (very few NBA stars know what it's like, KG great example), offense running through you half the time or more on the court. You only have so much energy as a human. As well as personal fouls dictating defensive aggression, when you need to score 25 a night you can't be in foul trouble. Zion has quickly learned this and will master the balance beter with time and games played. But he will always need to be on the court for 35 minutes a night thus not be the defensive anchor he could be. Jordan had Pippen to guard the best perimeter guy. Kobe n Shaq had Rick Fox. Lebron and wade even had Battier. By 2k22, I bet 5 months after it's release we are all on here sick of how unstoppable Zion base roster player truly is. Online verses matches will be half Pelicans ran squads. Much like the recent Ben Simmons PG Philly squad lineup being the GOAT to match Bucks. Zion will go for 40 of 60 points, grab 12-15 boards, dish 7 dimes, snag 4 steals and block 3 shots contesting another 8 to miss. Hell rebound and go full court with his handle, speed, size and strength, go behind the back at half court to attack dribble eurostep cross key to a gather and explosive dunk. When guarded well he will pump fake and then float a ball in an majority of the time. Hell jump over and through your defense as I try to charge draw but instead blocking foul and one opportunity. I want to come here in 18-36 months and know I was right about this. Zion will be God and goat in 2k earlier than we thought, and it's going to last year's, maybe more. If Zion plays 25 more games at a level even better than his first 25 we are doomed. Zion can do everything. There's no true weakness. While his 3pt shooting needs to get better, we forget he's a power forward, hell a small ball lineup he will play Center in, and has more fans than most the other NBA AllStars who are 10 year vets. Zion Williamson - 6'6" PF/C 270lbs freakish wingspan, freak vertical, freak speed+strength combo 97 Overall Rating 40 HOF badges 25 Gold badges 7 Silver badges 5 bronze badges 99 driving dunk 99 standing dunk 95 shot close 95 Shot inside 90 driving layup 75 mid range 75 3pt 76 FT 90 post hook 90+ post moves 80+post fades 85+ ball handle 90 speed with ball 85 pass accuracy 80 pass vision 99 shot IQ 95 offensive consistency 85 def consistency 91 lat quickness 98 offense awareness 85 def awareness 80+ help D iq 80+ reaction time 71 permiter D 88 interior D 75+ steal 75+block 99 hands 90+ offensive rebound 90+defensive rebound 99 hustle 88 speed 90 quickness 96 vertical 95 stamina 99 strength 90+dunk tendency At his freight train size and insane foot speed, agility quickness and power to compliment the skills and ball handling ability he has to match his hoops IQ and passing, he's a freak. Grabbing a defensive board with him will result in a fastbreak finish by Zion or whoever he dishes to on the attack with numbers. I'm actually surprised he's not more unstoppable already. I almost find it disrespectful he's an 84 and average animations n physics with him. Other 22 and 7 guys like Jay Brown, Siakam, DeRozan, Griffin, even Julius Randle I am as good with on 2k. I know it was only 22 games but I watched 20 of them and he's a stud... 22 and 6 in what always felt like 2/3 an actual game with him. We are lucky his PD Card from last year's myteam isn't his stock card yet. Haha.
Also what happened to Russell Westbrook the Triple Double God, or Wilt The only player to ever hit 100 points in a game and average 50pts per game and 25.7 trb per game. Or Harden almost the most Unguardable player in the world. Or Jordan the man that changed the nba. Or Kareem/Karl Malone the top 2 points a game, plus Kareems Skyhook. Or Bill Russell most championships by a player/averaging 24.7 trbs per game also once averaging 18.9pts per game. Or Oscar Robertson the first Triple Double God. Or Moses Malone

Please, I'm on Xbox and I have just begun, help me with some tips on my lineup, i would really appreciate. Thank you very much :)
Any suggestions for my lineup I really want the best team possible. Thanks! https://2kmtcentral.com/21/lineups/111509/my-nms-team
He definitley doesnt deserve it hes kinda overrated hes a good player but he does not deserve a dark matter MJ does but HE ONLY PLAYED 2 SEASONS kobe,LBJ,bill russel,wilt the stilt chamberlain,kareem,magic and the goat AD and they dont even get dark matter 2k is retarded
Those are the first 2 cards. Next season we will most likely have a dark matter card in almost every pack.
However, I don't like that it goes so rapidly right now. Zion is OP.
For me the dark matter cards are too early in the game. Zion can hardly be defended. This card basically has no weakness. Elite defender, elite drunker, elite 3 point shooter, can push other away with his strength.
The reward cards of season 1 to 3 were the best in the game for several weeks. Kawhi is still a very good card, but they basically already released a better card, KD, straight at the first day. This is too fast.
It is also weirded to release them 1 day before the 250k finals. Did they allow to use those cards in the finals?
guys i really need help with what players to get. anything is appreciated https://2kmtcentral.com/21/lineups/147461/nms-suggestions#comment-2719221
