The beloved mural system is back, and players will start at Level 1 with a Hero Galaxy Opal Zion Williamson. Players will start off the challenge solo with just Williamson, obtaining several Galaxy Opal and Dark Matter players along the way. As the challenges increase in difficulty, so will the opportunity to construct a team full of high-caliber players will be granted to players who successfully complete each task. The reward for completing the mural is to be determined, but 2K Games promises it won’t be another Coach card.
The MyCareer portion of NBA 2K22 will also receive new updates, featuring many rewards for players simply by completing each level and reaching the ultimate prize of Level 40 super stardom. In Season 6: Zero Gravity, players who reached Level 40 were granted a Bunny Suit for their troubles, and the new season appears to be continuing the trend of gear to attach to players. Season 7: Return of Heroes will roll out gadgets and costumes throughout the event, leading up to an NBA Mascot outfit at Level 30 and a Jetpack for reaching the pinnacle. For current-generation players, the Jetpack will not be available and, instead, replaced with the NBA Mascot outfit, while reaching Level 30 will be swapped with an Affiliation Mascot outfit.
With many featured programs planned, weekly agendas to provide extra flavor, and an Invincible 99-overall Dark Matter Joel Embiid to aim for, NBA 2K22 certainly isn’t slowing down any time soon. 2K Games also promises to drop more NBA Playoffs Agendas in conjunction with the NBA Playoffs dwindling to the Conference Finals, with more Pink Diamond and Galaxy Opal players as prizes. Expect Season 7: Return of Heroes to surpass its previous season as more challenges and rewards are revealed in the upcoming weeks.
