NBA 2K21 All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges Arrive in MyTeam With Big Rewards

Just a day ahead of the official draft for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, the top basketball simulation game added 100 new challenges. As a celebration of the history of the annual game, MyTeam fans can participate in NBA 2K21 All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges. These feature some of the best all-time teams in the history of the NBA and bring a variety of rewards upon completion.

What are the NBA 2K21 All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges?

There are now 100 different NBA 2K21 All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges available in the MyTeam Single Player Challenges area. These focus on various decades of NBA All-Stars, going back as early as the 1965 through 1969 games all the way up until 2021. The sets are the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.

Each All-Star set has five to eight different challenges with MT and MyTeam Tokens available. Challenges typically involve using specific players in a MyTeam lineup and winning the game. Difficult levels range from Pro to Hall of Fame level.

For example, the first challenge in the 60s set is to play in the 1965 All-Star Game on Pro difficulty with at least three Kings players in the lineup. The reward is 250 MT.

Completion of all of the challenges inside a specific set will earn a reward card. These include high-rated cards for All-Stars including Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Patrick Ewing, Isaiah Thomas, Allen Iverson, Kyrie Irving, and Kawhi Leonard.

Check out the trailer video below featuring Iverson, Dr. J, John Wall, and Brandon Roy, among others.

Major Galaxy Opal rewards available

The top prizes for completion of NBA 2K21 All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges are Galaxy Opal player items. Gamers can earn a Galaxy Opal Wes Unseld by defeating all of the challenges from 1965 through 1996. A Galaxy Opal Brandon Roy is available for completion of challenges from 1997 through 2020.

Gamers will use the Galaxy Opal Unseld and Roy in their lineups to take down the 2021 All-Stars and the all-time All-Stars. By doing so, a Galaxy Opal John Wall is the reward.

NBA 2K21 MyTeam indicated that these Spotlight Challenges become available after Season 5: Age of Heroes has concluded. Gamers should have plenty of time to defeat All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges ahead of the big game this weekend.

On Thursday night, All-Star captains LeBron James and Kevin Durant will officially draft their squads for the NBA All-Star Game 2021. The game itself arrives on Sunday, March 7, from Atlanta with televised coverage on TNT.
