The Hidden Gems agenda pretty much requires you to play every mode available in NBA 2K25 MyTeam. Some of the tasks can take a bit of time to complete, so you should start by completing the first objective of each type. At the start of your journey, you’ll want to open as many packs as possible.

While all the packs are unauctionable, you’ll want to grind the agenda. Yes, loads of cards won’t even make your lineup. But there’s a 99-rated Dark Matter Michael Jordan available in the pool of rewards. Of course, the odds of pulling him are next to none, but the agenda is easy to complete, and it’s free.
