NBA Basketball 20/The Team

The Team is a game mode that allows you to build your own team, consisting of former and current NBA players. You have the ability to customize your team's franchise and appearance.

Packs
The most traditional way to gain cards in The Team is through packs. You can buy 5-pack, 10-pack and 20-pack boxes with Tokens. 5-packs cost 3000 tokens, 10-packs cost 30000, and 20-packs cost 100000.

The Auctions
You can also buy cards with Tokens on what is called the 'The Auctions'. This is where other players sell their own players for a certain amount of Tokens. There is a search system on the The Auctions where you can set filters in order to search for specific players. A player must choose what the bidding starts at for their player; however, they are not forced to set a buy now price. Most players use this to their advantage when selling higher tiered/colored cards, such as Emerald and above. The Auctions is a resourceful way to gain specific cards in order to complete collections.

Collections
There is a collection for different types of players, coaches, playbooks, balls, etc. For example, if you collect every player card for the 2019-2020 Heat, you gain a Opal player that plays for the Heat.

Gameplay
In The Team, there are several different game modes you can play, such as 2v2, 3v3, and Spotlight. However, in each game mode, you control a whole team, ranging to two players at a time to five players at a time. You can switch between players at any time to play as the player closest to the ball. When your team possesses the ball, you play as the player who is currently holding the ball. You must collect cards from several different methods in order to build your all-star lineup. The level of cards changes with each color; in order from worst to best, the colors are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Diamond, and Red Diamond.
