Throwback Diamond Cards Are Hurting MyTeam Mode

12:50 PM - December 21, 2015 by RaychelSnr

Which players would you expect to have the highest-rated cards in MyTeam three months into NBA 2K16's lifespan?

Michael Jordan? Magic Johnson? Larry Bird? Oscar Robertson?

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.

Try J.R. Smith, Jamal Crawford, Luis Scola and Ty Lawson.

These are just a few of the ridiculously rated diamond cards (the tier assigned to players with a 95 or higher overall rating) who can currently be used in MyTeam's Gauntlet mode, and will eventually be included in throwback packs, like Crawford was last Thursday.

Those guys have become a cancer for the community. The majority of them just push for whatever gives them views. Even the guys that I used to respect a bit, went completely silent after the diamonds.

Those are the same guys promoting coin selling websites, doing wagers, etc etc. Everything that goes against the TOS, they do it. The marketing guys have this idea that youtubers are their main promotion vehicles, and they've been that, and promoting all the worst things, from cheese to breaking TOS.

Biggest problem for me with myteam is the fact that you get nothing after winning in the 1st seed. You get Patrick Ewing and then nothing. This is the same problem with every seed after getting the reward.

Why not incase the MT payout for each seed like madden does?

Two years ago you got rewarded players by playing online in a limited time tournament. I recall getting Iverson and Pippen from that mode. This needs to come back. Not everyone can get it because you have to win like 6-7 games in a row online.

What's the point of me playing so hard to stay in 1st seed just to get the same amount of coins I would get in the 4th and 3rd seed? Doesn't make sense how they drop the ball with this mode.

Mut does on heck of a job updating there mode 3-4 times a week. Every week you know your getting something fresh and you can also grind for a lot of coins playing the solos.

2k is simply being money hungry at this point.

2k failed hard in their imitation attempt, this is amateur foolery and very unprofessional.

I'm interested to see how this continues to unravel as we creep further into '16

I really have to reiterate this. This makes no sense. Why is the payout the same in lower seeds as in higher ones?

Another Diamond #TBT dropped today... Not as bad, but still mighty ridiculous. Why fight it? Since 2K's selection is fairly arbitrary, might as well just tweet more ridiculous ideas at 2K...

Thanks to 2KMTCentral's MyTeam card creator it is easy!

Maybe celebrate Hedo Turkoglu's retirement?

Perhaps drop a 99 Kobe for his retirement!

Why stop with NBA throwbacks? How about diamond Rubio for his 19pts he dropped on Real Madrid 4/1/2010!?

Don't stop! Need moar #TBT Diamond! #TBT Diamond UConn Thabeet!!!

A Andrea Bargnani card to celebrate scoring 41pts on 12/8/10.

How about LBJ's "favorite player of all time" and celebrate his 2011 3 point championship. (source: ESPN: There's a King and there's a Champ)
