How to Complete All-Star Spotlight Sim Challenges in NBA 2K21?
There are 100 games to complete, so this gonna be very time-consuming, it should take at least 50-60 hours, even if you just straight in the game. But John Wall is an absolute beast, you do actually end up getting two other Galaxy Opals, which look pretty decent. If your lineup is not very great and you need to add some opals, you can consider finishing these spotlight challenges. Then how to beat all spotlight sim challenges fast? Here are some tips for that.
- Make a schedule according to your actual situation. You can have all of this done within 2 weeks. Don’t put much stress on yourself.
- Do something in the background. These games are not difficult at all even though some of them are on the hall of fame, what you want to do is find something to do in the background
- Doing challenges while doing the games. It kind of combined two grinds into one and it kind of made things way easier.
- Use certain players from certain teams when doing some of these challenges.
- If you don't have that many good players from every single team, just use your regular team and keep them on the end of your bench, for example, if the game request you to use 3 Wizards players, you do not have to actually use the Wizards players you just have to have them on your lineup, you can keep them on the bench, and the challenge counts.
