The NBA Playoffs have reached the Eastern and Western Conference finals and based on the remaining teams, a team will win the title for the first time since at least 1975-76. The Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, and Milwaukee Bucks are all in the running, who each feature All-Star talents. However, the Atlanta Hawks are also there in surprising fashion thanks to Trae Young and John Collins. In a new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agenda Group, gamers can now recreate moments related to these four playoff teams and their stars.
New NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agenda Group featuring Playoff squads
Sunday’s NBA slate featured the first game of the Western Conference finals as Devin Booker helped lead the Suns to a Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Booker stepped up in a major way with teammate Chris Paul sidelined due to COVID-19 protocol, as he scored 40 points, grabbed 13 boards, and handed out 11 assists. That led to a 120-114 victory for the No. 2 Suns to take a 1-0 lead over the No. 4 Clippers.
Sunday’s other game was one of those moments in sports that fans get to enjoy every so often. It was a do-or-die Game 7 in Philadelphia with the underdog Atlanta Hawks coming in and upsetting the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Trae Young had a rough shooting night, going just 5-of-23 from the field, but still finished with 21 points and 10 assists. His teammate John Collins also provided a boost with a double-double of 14 points and 16 boards in the team’s 103-96 win. That put the surprising Hawks into the Eastern Conference finals against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
Along with the playoff stats and results, there’s a new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agenda Group featuring Collins, Booker, and other playoff teams or stars. Terance Mann was on the losing side in Game 1 against Phoenix but appears in an agenda, as does Kevin Durant, who achieved 48 points for the Nets in their Game 7 loss to Milwaukee.
Other additions to 2K’s MT Season 8 content
In addition to the new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agendas, there are a few other new items to look at for Season 8 content. Another limited-time series of packs arrived with Flash Super Packs. These are available for 48 hours and feature cards such as Dark Matter items released for James Harden, Wilt Chamberlain, and Paul George. Wilt’s card is of the “Glitched” variety. He’s joined by stars DeMar DeRozan and Kristaps Portzingis.
Unfortunately, these packs aren’t available for purchase with the MT currency, only VC. They start at 11, 250 VC for a single pack of five cards and 101,250 VC for the 10-pack boxes. 20-pack boxes go for 202,500 VC.
While those Dark Matter cards above are re-releases, the ones below are not. They are DM items just made available as new Triple Threat Rewards featuring Rudy Gobert, Jordan Clarkson, and Julius Randle. Gobert, who won Defensive Player of the Year recently, has a new 99 OVR card available as a reward in the Vault after wins. The other two are available as part of Triple Threat Online, with Randle an upgrade from his previous Galaxy Opal item.
Meanwhile, many gamers are still pursuing the 150,000 total XP to reach Level 40 for MyTeam Season 8. Completing the NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agendas mentioned above will give at least 4,000 XP towards that goal. Accumulating certain cards along the Season Agenda path can also give an assist, as those players are featured in various Agendas.
NBA 2K21’s MyTeam Season 8 still has 25 days left for gamers to achieve that top-level to get the Luka Donic Dark Matter card and use that to complete even more Agendas.
