Season 6 is on the horizon—dropping this coming Friday, and now is the perfect time to get your squad, your MT, and your grind goals in order. Whether you're a casual no-money-spent (NMS) player or someone who logs in every day for hours, proper preparation will make a huge difference in how much you can capitalize on the early rewards and opportunities of the new season.
In this article, we're diving into how to best prepare for Season 6, what to expect with the market, which cards you may want to offload now, and what kind of content might be coming that will shape the meta and economy of the game. Let's break it all down.
1. Understand the Market Crash Incoming
The number one thing that happens like clockwork in MyTEAM when a new season is about to drop is a market crash. Why? Two major reasons:
• Super Packs: Every Tuesday before a new season, 2K releases super packs that include all of the top cards from the current season—in this case, Season 5. These packs feature higher pull odds for powerful cards like Galaxy Opals and Dark Matters. Players with VC saved up or real cash to spend often open them, flooding the market with cards that were previously rare.
• Power Creep: With Season 6, 2K will continue escalating card tiers. We're going to see more 99-overall Dark Matters, and most likely, a jump in the number of 100-overall cards in each promo. When new, higher-tier cards flood the game, older cards rapidly decline in value, even if they're still competitively viable.
This creates a perfect storm for prices to dip.
2. Take Inventory of Your Squad
Before that crash hits, now is the perfect time to assess your team:
• Are you holding any high-value Dark Matters?
• Do you own expensive Pink Diamonds or Galaxy Opals that might not retain value in Season 6?
For example, cards like Dark Matter Giannis or LeBron—currently valued over 1 million MT—are highly likely to see 100 overall versions early in the new season. Once those new versions hit packs, the older ones will dip hard.
That's not to say you must sell everything. But for players holding value-heavy assets and not currently using them actively, selling now and buying back later (when prices crash) is a solid MT-making strategy.
Some cards worth considering selling:
• Michael Beasley Pink Diamond (still around 100k MT)
• Dr. J, Chris Webber, or Lonzo Ball from the Bracket Busters
• Any limited-time promo Dark Matters that have likely successors in upcoming promos
Remember, selling now gives you liquid MT, which puts you in a great position to pick up better cards on Friday or over the weekend.
3. What to Expect in Season 6 Promos
Season 5 introduced the very first 100 overall card, with Kristaps Porzingis kicking off the trend in the Torpedo promo. Expect this to ramp up dramatically in Season 6.
Here's what could be coming:
• At least two 100-overall cards per promo to start
• Possibly up to three 100-overalls, and four or more Dark Matters in each weekly drop
• Big names getting upgrades: LeBron, Giannis, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Paul George, Kevin Garnett, and Dr. J could all receive 100 overall versions soon
What does this mean? Expect massive power creep, and plan accordingly. A card you just bought for 500k MT might be worth 180k by next Friday.
4. Finish Your Season 5 Grinds
Before jumping into the next big thing, don't forget to wrap up your Season 5 objectives. You still have a few days to lock in valuable rewards that will disappear when Season 6 drops.
Here are your top priorities:
Game Mode Rewards
• Showdown Mode: At 60 wins, you get a Galaxy Opal pack. At 120 wins, you earn a Galaxy Opal option pack and another 97+ pack. These will likely be replaced with 99s in Season 6, so wrap it up if you're close.
• Triple Threat: If you're near a key milestone (like 400 or 500 wins), push to reach it. The Galaxy Opal option packs and other milestone rewards will reset.
• Clutch Time / Salary Cap: Make sure you're getting the final tier rewards before the clock resets.
Challenges and Limited-Time Events
• Weekly Challenges: If you haven't completed them yet, now's the time.
• Bracket Busters & Festival Events: All these expire in less than a week. Any exchange tokens, badges, event cards, or packs you want—grab them now.
• Signature Challenge: It's minor, but easy NBA 2K25 MT and XP if you haven't done it.
5. Play Triple Threat Park on Sunday
If you're reading this before Sunday, don't miss out on Triple Threat Park. This event often drops high-tier reward cards, and there's speculation (and history) suggesting a 100 overall player piece will be available this weekend.
Why should you care?
• It's a great way to make MT by flipping the card
• Or use it to upgrade your team with a free top-tier piece
This event is often overlooked, but it can be one of the best MT-making opportunities right before a new season begins.
6. Stack Up on MT and Resources
If you've been running on fumes MT-wise, the days before Season 6 are prime time to grind, sell, and flip:
• Sell unnecessary cards (especially ones that may lose value)
• Open any unopened packs you're sitting on
• Clear your collection and sell duplicates or consumables (badges, shoes, contracts)
You want a war chest of MT to take advantage of crashing prices Friday-Sunday.
Final Thoughts: Game Plan for Season 6
Here's your Season 6 checklist:
✅ Sell valuable cards that may drop in price
✅ Grind final wins and challenges in your favorite game modes
✅ Exchange all remaining tokens, event items, or XP-related objectives
✅ Prepare for the market crash on Tuesday with Super Packs
✅ Play Triple Threat Park on Sunday for a potential 100 overall card
✅ Save up your MT for new Season 6 promos
✅ Get ready for a major increase in 100 overall players
This upcoming season could be one of the most exciting yet for NBA 2K25 MyTEAM. Whether you're grinding hard, playing casually, or flipping the market, Season 6 is your chance to reset and elevate your team to new heights.
