NBA 2K23 New Playoff Cards - What are Best Evo Cards in 2K23

How to get evo cards in NBA 2K23? The evolution cards can get upgrades and changes by doing statistical milestones that are exclusive to each card, the stats, animations, badges, and more things can be improved. Among these new Playoff EVO cards revealed in 2K23 MyTEAM, which one looks to be the best?

1. Jamal Murray - PG/SG 

The first Evo card, which is the Pink Diamond Jamal Murray going up to a Galaxy Opal and then evo up to a Dark Matter version, got a crazy performance in the match. The Dark Matter Jamal Murray is gonna have great stats and badges. Whether it is on the defensive end or on offense, he’s got 30 Hall of Fame badges in different categories, such as Blinders, Deadeye, Guard Up, Ankle Breaker, Quick First Step, Floor General, Anchor, Challenger, and more. When looking at the animations, they're glitched a little bit, he’s got the Jamal Murray signature size up, Trae Young escape package, this is a decent amount better than his Galaxy Opal. 

2. Anthony Edwards - SG/SF

Anthony Edwards is a six foot five shooting guard with a six foot nine wingspan, his Dark Matter card has very solid stats, he’s got the release timing on Very Quick, and some really good dribble sigs, the Kyle Lowry size up and Trae Young escape package, he also got Trae Young leaner, this card does become a lot better at the shooting guard spot, which is going to be way better than the GO. 

3. Xavier Tillman - C/PF

He is gonna go up to a Galaxy Opal all the way from a Ruby to an Opal, he is a six foot seven power forward with a seven foot one wingspan, and the stats are actually really good, jump shot wise, but not exactly sure, this is probably not very playable. 

4. Joe Ingles - SG/SF 

As a six foot nine shooting guard, Joe Ingles will only go up to a Diamond tier, but he has really good solid and all-around defensive stats and badges, he’s got Hall of Fame Catch And Shoot, Claymore, Corner Specialist, and Limitless Range. Then in terms of the animations, he also got way better dribble moves, and a jump shot on very quick timing, he could be a really interesting player at the SG position. 

5. Pat Connaughton - SF/SG

Pat Connaughton can evo from a Pink Diamond to a Galaxy Opal, six foot five weight maybe a little bit undersized, but he has great all-around stats, with the evolution, he can get +7 interior defense, +5 steal, +7 block, +3 perimeter defense and +5 speed with ball. When it comes to the badges, he’s got Hall of Fame Limitless Range, Deadeye, Blinders, Amped, Agent 3, and lots of others. Moving to the animations, his jump shot is going to be very quick and does have some solid dribble animations. Overall, this is a decent guard. 

6. Brook Lopez - C

Brooke Lopez is a very nice center being seven foot one with a seven foot five wingspan, his stats are really gonna get upgraded, including the +15 speed, +15 acceleration, and more boosts. A lot of attributes look amazing, especially on the defensive end. He also got a bunch of HOF defensive badges, his jump shot is going to get changed as well, Nemanja Bjelica at the base, release timing on Very Quick. Brooke Lopez could be a very good Galaxy Opal center in 2K23 MyTEAM.
