Best NBA 2K26 MyCareer difficulty
This question becomes more critical for absolute beginners. Semi-Pro is your best starting point; you can expect minimal challenge as you master the basics. The rewards certainly are less than optimal, but there's scope for growth and improvement. The gap between Semi-Pro and Pro isn't too big, and the transition is easy.
If you have been playing the NBA 2K series for a few years, Superstar is a great spot to play at. You get plenty of rewards, and the difficulty isn't as painful as Hall of Fame. You can also begin at All-Star and then change the difficulty once deeper into your build.
