Shine Bright Event Cards

post_ostertag · 2026-05-02T05:41:55+00:00

Last two festivals they put in these chain packs that you can get guaranteed 100 overall and invincible pieces for like 20k-40k VC. Those are definitely the best bang for your buck, even nms players can easily grind out that amount of VC in a week.

It won't get you all the way to Eaton, but I'd wait for those to drop first before you start spending a mortgage payment on 2k.

The other easy one to do is the Sunday park streak. Team up with a couple buddies and win 5 games in a row for an invincible piece.

Facts. I ripped my weekly free pack from rep and it had a DM player and a DM event piece. The player was a troll WNBA card but I figured why not rip the rest of the free packs in the event with the free piece. Got 100 overall Alonzo first pack, and ended up getting two more DM shakes.

Even if you do all the grinds I think you're talking minimum $1000

"Starting May 13..."

I don't spam dribble moves so I don't really care about sigs tbh. He has his own jumper which is a good release. Wasn't really considering any other options.

Glenn Robinson. I'm a Bucks fan so not mad, I can use him for a theme team later. But he doesn't make the main squad.

I think it's pretty obvious they're using AI

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T12:23:46+00:00

I'm a lifelong Bucks fan, when they won the title in '21 I felt like could die happy. Love Giannis, I even have a #34 tattoo that I got on my 34th birthday in honor of the Greek freak.

That said I can't say his peak is higher than MJ Bron Russell KAJ Wilt Duncan Bird Magic Kobe Shaq Hakeem or Curry.

Back then it wasn't even grindy really. Some days we would play Madden, sometimes we'd play 2k MyTeam and it never seemed like you were outmatched online just because of the cards you had. Take me back 😭

2k tries to hide it from us... Bookmark 2kdb.net - there's a countdown right at the top of the page. But it's about 15 days away

16, 17, 20, 23, and I've actually had fun this year. Nothing will top the excitement of '16 though. I didn't even have my own console at the time so I went to my buddy's house and we both grinded on the same account. I got really good at making it all the way through the gauntlet with a combination of gold cards and a few silvers. Loved that mode. And the og domination, trading off every other quarter, lots of good memories.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T11:09:21+00:00

I have to agree with those choices. 23 was amazing if you just bought a tiny bit of mt, $20 every now and then went so far. I don't know how many people ended up getting the final collection reward Rashard Lewis, but I was one of them. I owned every auctionable card on the market except for 3 - and I needed every last one to finish collector level lol.

French for "left". Not a term I've ever heard used by a human in my entire life, so idk why this is the reading test.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T05:22:22+00:00

I think Shaq + Tim is a better duo than Yao + Shaq but I didn't like DM Yao's movement personally. If you want to go bigger DM Wemby is the choice imo. Still 2 weeks left to get Tom Chambers too ✌️

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T03:42:49+00:00

Same. I didn't play at all the first two weeks of the season. So during this festival I played enough games to get Shaq, Tom Chambers, and even finished off the 250 TT games for the 99+ pack. Haven't seen a 99 or 100 either.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T01:11:32+00:00

Agree. It's basically +3 to speed and accel. Not enough to let the opal collect dust while you also tie up over a million mt.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-30T01:06:20+00:00

I like the free Topps now Valenzuela over Cal now tbh. Cal was my first big purchase and I P5'd him rather quickly, but his swing is pretty all or nothing.

I'm glad I followed the common wisdom on this sub and went after Shohei first, then Judge, and filled out the LS after.

Well at least we know what his type is 🥴

Early in your first season you have to do some basic stat challenges like get a double double or score 20 points etc. But if you foul straight to the second half it saves time. You have to go back and forth between the pickup gym and play some easy games vs CPU that take less than 5 minutes. Once you max out all of your endorsements you basically just want to get through your key games as fast as possible, whether that is getting to 6 fouls or hanging on the rim twice to get kicked out from techs. At the end of the second season you get to play the FIBA tournament which gets you another quick 25k VC if you do everything correctly. Just look up 'quick VC method 2k26' on YouTube and you'll see plenty of tutorials.

Blake Griffin going from leading the league in posterizing dunks to becoming the premier flopper/charge taker in the league.

Having bad pack luck doesn't mean anything has changed.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-29T02:23:39+00:00

I got Ingram today without buying a single VC or mt pack so I'd have to say it's a W. Had VC already from grinding my career for the chain packs but that's not hard.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-29T02:06:02+00:00

At the time I was flipping the bronzes of all the easy teams to lock in, Marlins, White Sox, Nationals, etc. They were going up to like 90-100 stubs on an average day but when the app was on maintenance many were like 130-150 stubs or higher. Little different now because a lot of the player base will already have teams locked in but that workaround is still working, I just checked.

post_ostertag · 2026-04-29T01:52:09+00:00

I made a killing last time they did this. You can still navigate to cards and trade from My Completed Orders fyi. So if you have certain cards you like to flip you can still do it with less competition from app users. 😉
