In addition to restricting the Opals and GOATs to cards that really deserve them in actual life, they also will need to revamp the tiering system to better distance the cards out 2K MT so there aren't 281 jammed to the exact same tier, with little to differentiate them other than a Sherlock Holmes level of research into their stats/badges. This tiering system makes it possible for the very same tiers to be spread over 100 rankings as opposed to the 33 now in operation (68-99) therefore there's that much variant to play with to properly evaluate cards.

I'd also suggest attributes inform ratings, but additionally badges. So the badges could be weighted by their position (Bronze, Gold, Silver, HOF) and added into the total score of the attributes to determine final ranking and tier. Some level of evaluation would still be asked to find out if the 91 opal guy with 10 HOF badges is equivalent to another 91 opal guy with 10 HOF badges because one has Range Extender and another has Ice In Veins (suggestion -- that the former is greater ). This segues to who should and shouldn't get an opal. Many would agree that opals is too far and undermines the integrity of this origin history.

Eddy Curry, Alex Caruso, Tacko Fall, Jonathan Isaac, Nicolas Batum, Jaren Jackson Jr. etc aren't titles your mom recognises. She probably knows who MJ, Kobe, Shaq and LeBron are though. And then guys like Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma, Walt Frazier and Mel Daniels also deserve opals.

These are guys the young fan may not have heard of but SHOULD hear because they were amazing in their time. And part of the ought to be learning about the history of the NBA why bother accreditation likeness and Earl Monroe's name? I'm not sure many people who saw basketball when Earl won in 1973 and 2K are playing with now. Even the biggest NBA historian, Bill Simmons, only knows about a lot. So let's try to have some criteria when it comes to opals. They then should have been 5 time All-Stars, if they're retired; dealer's choice when they haven't. Giannis and Kawhi have been to 4 ASG's however we know more are coming and they deserve opals.

Same with Seconds. He should get an opal Moments card like he is performing in the Bubble, if a fringe guy like TJ Warren goes. He must NOT get an opal in a Flash package that is random. Based on the 5 principle for retirees, I would also add that this could have to be post-1965. The competition wasn't the greatest because of prejudices of the age and A guy who made 8 teams when the league was only a few teams, wouldn't qualify for an opal. However, the guys are in NBA 2K21 this year and all would have beneath my principle:

65 guys got opals which never went into Buy NBA 2K MT Coins an All-Star Game and those were the very offensive (excluding the Players Club ones which were clearly useless, basically ingratiating themselves to current role players). But the rest of these men are role players and would be hard-pressed to even qualify for a pink diamond.
