Legend status is a new addition to NBA 2K22, as of the start of Season 4 on January 14, but it’s a reward that only certain players can earn this season. Here’s how you can get Legend status in NBA 2K22 Season 4.
How to earn Legend Status?

The only way to earn Legend Status in The City and MyTEAM is by reaching Level 40 in NBA 2K22 for four seasons in the open-world environment.
Players do not have to reach level 40 in consecutive seasons, but level 40 must be reached in four separate seasons. While this is no easy task, players have a little over a month each season to reach level 40.
How to reach Level 40?

The easiest way to reach Level 40 in Season 4 of NBA 2K22 is by completing the quests that refresh every week throughout the season. There are also many opportunities to earn XP by competing in various games around The City, such as Rooftops. Thankfully, one of the updates to Season 4 has also made vehicle travel easier, allowing players to get from activity to activity more quickly as well.
Players should keep updated with the latest available locker codes in NBA 2K22, as these rewards can also sometimes help earn them more XP quickly. Of course, it also comes with other rewards like NBA 2K22 MT, VC, Tokens, Packs, etc.
To level up fast in NBA 2K22 MyCareer, the most popular method has been to win games in the Rec while putting up good teammate grades. While playing solo queueing for games in the Rec is something I’m sure many are aware is a mixed bag — your random teammates can range from godly defenders to toxic liabilities — if you can get a team of five who knows what they are doing, leveling up should be a breeze.
To earn a lot of XP quickly, players can use an XP coin or hope for a double XP daily spin reward and then head to the Park to play a lot of games. 2 vs. 2 games go rather quickly and give players more of a chance to produce more stats to help level up. However, playing at your home Affiliation court will earn 20% more XP, so it may be worth it to play at those courts.
Season 4 of NBA 2K22 includes new challenges and Agenda tasks for players to complete and introduces double Signature Challenges in a MyTEAM Season. Players committed enough to reach Level 40 in Seasons one through three and complete the Unlimited Showdown Tier in Season 3 will already have Level 40 unlocked in Season 4 if they haven’t logged in since it began. Ending the Season 3 Unlimited Showdown Tier in NBA 2K22 earned players 150,000 XP when Season 4 began, meaning there are likely already a few players who have Legend Status unlocked.
