Clutch Time mode is a new game mode in MyTeam released in NBA 2K22 Season 3. Clutch Time will pit your MyTeam against online opponents with a catch: There are no card restrictions, and there are only five minutes left in the game. Season 3 goes live on December 3rd so that players can jump into Clutch Time mode in MyTeam in Season 3.
The new game mode is much like MyTeam Unlimited, where players can use any rarity and overall of cards. While players may use the best overall cards in Clutch Time, badges will also be very important. As the name suggests, players will have to be at their best in the clutch moments. Having player cards with a high Clutch Shooter badge or equipping one could be the game-changer.
Clutch Time will also have no bench players, so your five starters are all you get for the five-minute game. Team composition will be important and can make a big difference in Clutch Time. As there is only one quarter in the game, mismatches will be exploited by good players.
Clutch Time mode is played on a court with a giant mural dedicated to the most clutch moments in history. The new court is a fresh location for MyTeam games and may hint at more unique courts coming in future seasons.
New season rewards are coming to MyTeam and the Clutch Time mode will award players with new challenges and unlockable rewards. Stay tuned to see if Clutch Time mode will have a tournament similar to the MyTeam Limited tournament with huge VC prizes.
