NBA 2K22 MyTEAM: Dark Matter Julius Erving debuts in the Takeoff 3 Packs


With more cards being released including the Limited Edition IV packs in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM, we now have the Takeoff 3 packs.

Highlighting the packs, as always, is a Dark Matter card. The question is whether the card is worth it or should the VC and MT be spent elsewhere.

Let's take a look at the latest packs in the Pack Market of MyTEAM.

NBA 2K22 MyTEAM Takeoff 3 Packs

Last week, the Takeoff Packs delivered a Dark Matter Derrick Rose, which has turned out to be a pretty popular card.

This week the Dark Matter card is the DM Julius Erving, along with the GO Jermaine O'Neal, a Pink Diamond Klay Thompson, and a Diamond Shae Gilgeous-Alexander.

Here's what you can expect to spend on each of these NBA 2K22 MyTEAM Takeoff 3 Packs:

  • Takeoff 2 Equal Chance: - 15,000 VC or 50,000 MT

Remember, you only get to purchase five of these packs so if you don't get the player you want you'll have to head to the MyTEAM Auctions.

Dark Matter Julius Erving Ratings

One of the most important things when it comes to choosing a card to add to your NBA 2K22 MyTEAM lineup is the card ratings.

Considering Julius Erving is going for over 75K MT at the Auctions at the moment, it'd be good to see whether you want him on your team in the first place.
