NBA 2K: The Exchange

PUBLISHED:
UPDATED:

Here’s everything you need to know about the Exchange in MyTEAM!

Got Duplicate Cards?

Use The Exchange to trade them - or any cards you don’t need - for bigger rewards. Some exchanges require multiple cards and specific tiers.

Heads up: Once you send a card, it’s gone for good - even if the exchange isn’t completed. Make sure you’re ready before sending it!

What Can I Do With Duplicate Cards?

When you earn a duplicate card, you’ll usually have two options:

  • Sell it for MyTEAM Points
  • Add it to an Exchange, if eligible

You can add individual cards to any applicable Exchange, or use the “Add All” option when receiving multiple duplicates at once. Just note:

  • With “Add All,” you won’t be able to choose where each card goes.
  • Cards may be spread across multiple Exchanges automatically.

Exchange Events

Events bring limited-time Exchanges with themed rewards every season. During these events, you can earn exclusive event Exchange cards by:

  • Completing challenges
  • Opening packs

These event cards can only be used in their matching Event Exchanges.

Tip: If duplicate event cards aren't immediately showing up to use in the Exchange, just exit and re-enter MyTEAM to refresh!

If you collect a lot of the same event card, you may see an auto-sell prompt that gives you extra event Exchange cards—no need to stockpile them. Use them while the event is active!

Event Timers & Expiration

Each Event Exchange has a countdown timer showing when it ends.

  • Cards applied before the deadline? You can still complete the Exchange afterward.
  • Still need cards? Make sure to earn them before the event ends—they won't be available later.

Mobile vs. Console

If you're a MyTEAM Mobile player too, keep in mind:

  • Mobile-exclusive packs and boxes may contain different items than console versions.
  • Always check the pack descriptions to know what you're getting!
