NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 3 Brings Shaq Challenge, 12 Days of Giving, and Free Locker Codes

The NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 3 has arrived, bringing plenty of new content for fans to enjoy. This one is appropriately called “Season of Giving.” The latest season unveil comes not long after the popular basketball simulation title made its way onto next-gen consoles. Fans have been enjoying the new look and feel of the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Here’s what to expect with Season 3 of MyTeam.

NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 3 to feature Shaq Challenge, Galaxy Opal Rewards

One of the all-time greats in the game is Shaquille O’Neal, who dominated his competition down low and has entertained fans for many years. He’s still a fixture in the NBA and in 2K21 today, thanks to his work with NBA on TNT. Now, NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 3 features a new Shaquille O’Neal Signature Challenge.

With the challenge, fans have to recreate the iconic alley-oop he received from the late great Kobe Bryant back in the 2000 Western Conference Finals. Defeating the challenge will earn a Hall of Fame Badge along with a Diamond Shoe.

There’s also a Locker Code, as shown on the tweet below. With the code “BRYANT-TO-SHAQ”, fans get the Shaquille O’Neal card shown below.

In the NBA 2K21 Courtside Report, they have outlined what else is available or coming soon for MyTeam Season 3. That includes the latest Galaxy Opal cards as rewards. There’s already a Dwyane Wade Galaxy Opal, and now they’ve unveiled Baron Davis as the second GO card for the new season. 

In addition, Wilt Chamberlain was announced as a Season Collection Complete reward, with the other yet to be named. However, it is known that the other Galaxy Opal will be the IDOLS Series I Collection Complete card.

12 Days of Giving and MyTeam Festival

A few other interesting notes arrived from 2K’s Courtside report regarding their “12 Days of Giving” and a MyTeam Festival. Both capture the holiday spirit with lots of freebies and rewards available.

The 12 Days of Giving will be a countdown to lead up to the NBA 2020-21 season which tips off December 22. Gamers will have a chance to receive rare players, and get guaranteed Ornament Balls during this time. The Ornament Balls will be exclusive for all of the NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 3 releases. 

Last but not least, Sunday, November 29, brings a MyTeam Festival. During this time, all of the previously-released packs for MyTeam will be available at some point throughout the weekend. 

MyTeam gamers will get Token Blitz throughout the Festival weekend too. So that means every win in MyTeam brings an increase in Tokens. There will also be two new packs available just for the weekend in the Token Market. They’ve indicate a MyTeam Festival Starter Pack can be had for just a few Tokens.

There will also be some “special limited releases” and free Locker Codes available through various spots including Community Hub and the @NBA2K_MyTeam Twitter. So fans should keep an eye there this coming weekend for some of the goodies!
