NBA 2K MyTEAM teases Best of MyTEAM Festival with G.O.A.T. cards

The Best of MyTEAM Festival went live in MyTEAM today, and the pitch is simple: clear the high-level challenges, climb toward top-level rewards and walk away with elite talent headlined by G.O.A.T. Mark Eaton, Lonzo Ball, Kon Kneuppel and Tim Thomas. For players trying to squeeze real value out of the event, the first move is obvious: go straight at the toughest rewards path, because that is where this festival says the biggest upgrades live.

Mark Eaton is the card that jumps out first for anyone who still builds around defense. He spent his entire NBA career with the Utah Jazz from 1982 to 1993, made the All-Star team in 1989, won Defensive Player of the Year in 1985 and 1989, led the league in blocks four times and still owns the single-season blocks record with 456. In a MyTEAM mode where rim protection can decide whether a lineup survives or gets farmed, Eaton reads like a target worth the grind.

Lonzo Ball gives the festival a different kind of pull. He went No. 2 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft after one season at UCLA, and his name still carries instant recognition for players who want a guard with real modern appeal in their lineup. Kon Kneuppel brings the freshest buzz of the group, a current draft-name card that makes the reward pool feel tied to the present as much as the past. Tim Thomas rounds out the headline names and gives the event another high-end pull for players chasing a complete haul.

The festival also fits neatly into the way NBA 2K25 MyTEAM is being built this year. The mode adds a REP system, the return of the Auction House and Triple Threat Park, while Seasons keep pushing new content and reward ladders on a recurring basis. Season 7 already set the tone with 100 OVR and Invincible cards, so a limited festival built around G.O.A.T. cards does not feel random. It feels like another premium pressure point in a cycle that keeps rewarding anyone willing to stay active and push for the top tier.

For players looking at the calendar and asking whether this is worth the time, the answer leans yes. The Best of MyTEAM Festival is not just another content drop; it is a short-window chance to trade effort for cards that can immediately change how a lineup plays, and Eaton alone makes the opening chase look serious.
