NBA 2K22 MyCAREER: Palmer Athletic Agency vs. Berry & Associates

NBA 2K22 has integrated MyCAREER with The City for an all new experience, at least that's the case for players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

So far, it looks like we're seeing current gen versions force players into a decision due to one being heavily linked to aspects of The City, but next gen players have a big call to make when they get the quest The Come Up: Draft Day.

There are definitely pros and cons to each option, but there's also a clear superior choice depending on how you're planning to play.

Palmer Athletic Agency: Why should you choose it?

If you're looking for the traditional route, Palmer Athletic Agency (or PAA) is the definite ticket, and their sell makes that clear.

Palmer Athletic Agency is the proven time-tested elite option here, and long-term they can be a major asset in tough negotiations and getting you the absolute best situation.

However, what they bring in firepower they lose in individual focus and versatility, two things that end up being major strengths of your other option.

Berry & Associates: Why should you choose it?

While PAA are the big dogs, Berry & Associates are the underdogs that continue to knock people out who underestimate them.

They're the smaller agency by comparison, but their versatility gives them a huge edge when it comes to music and fashion.

If you're even remotely interested in focusing on your brand, particularly the music and fashion angles, Berry & Associates has a lot going for it.

Which is the best option for The Come Up: Draft Day?

Like many of the big decisions in NBA 2K22 MyCAREER, it ultimately depends on how you want to play, but whether you care about brands and VC are crucial.

Berry & Associates are going to be a major asset as you increase your brand strength and look for sponsorship in that way.

They also could give you more versatility if you're not confident you'll dominate in the NBA, as they make clear in the pitch that being the best player in the league isn't required to make good money.

Neither is a bad call, but you need to go with Berry & Associates if music and fashion are part of your long-term MyCAREER plans.
