What is the best NBA 2K22 My TEAM Player Card?
While the fourteen peaks NBA 2K22 MyTEAM player cards are all desirable, we have our own opinion on which of these cards is the most fun to play. There’s also the current meta to consider, as a great map that can’t get past the best blockers in the game won’t stand a chance of winning.
For us, the best card to obtain among the Pink Diamonds is Wilt Chamberlain. Pick and Roll and Blocking is currently the name of the game in NBA 2K22, and Wilt Chamberlain does well on both fronts. Wilt blocks shots like flies and can give or take for pick and rolls.
If you are focused on the offensive, Devin Booker can also be considered one of the best NBA 2K22 MyTEAM Player Cards. He is very versatile in attack. He can post and drive, or clear the ground with his 3-point threat. He is also an excellent Pick and Roll manager and can defend very well. He’s not as good as Wilt at blocking, however, and that’s his worst trait. He can also be pushed around by bigger players, with his low strength stat can let him push back or push back.
Finally, if you want to add a solid perimeter defender to your squad, you can’t go wrong with Rajon Rondo. While not the top scorer in the game with his appalling shooting stats, he is one of the best defenders on the ball. You can switch to your player position and let the AI do the work of defending the ball handler with Rajon Rondo around. With the ball in his hands he can be a great playmaker, lead inside and finish strong.
But of course the current king is Carmelo Anthony. Based on stats alone, the 96 OVR card is quite simply the best card to have in the game right now. However, it takes a lot of work to get to it, as you’ll really have to prepare for Season 1 to get it. But once you acquire Carmelo Anthony, you’ll have the best offense in the game right now. You can easily forgive his defense as you can easily catch up on the score. But that doesn’t mean his defense is horrible, it’s just not the best. Give the ball to Melo and most of the time he’ll end up with a score when you get to the other side of the pitch.
