Completing the Moments of the Month challenges throughout Season 4 of NBA 2K22 is how players will be able to unlock all 21 new Moment cards, and each of the Moment cards is used in its own challenge. That means the Moments of the Month challenges in the Lifetime Agenda Group have to be completed in a certain order, rather than completing them as desired. Completing every Moments of the Month challenge and unlocking the other 20 Moment cards is the only way that players will be able to unlock Galaxy Opal Demar DeRozan.

Since the first couple of Moment of the Month challenges don't specify the card that players have to use, they can choose to score the required points with their MyPLAYER and their finishing badges in NBA 2K22. However, 20 of the 25 challenges require players to complete specific actions with Moments Rewards players. The challenges vary in difficulty and progression, as some require specific game types, completed in a single game, points scored, and everything in between. Fortunately for the "over multiple" games challenges in the Lifetime Agenda Group, players will have their progress automatically tracked in NBA 2K22.

How Unlocking 21 Moment Cards Works In NBA 2K22

As each challenge is completed, players will be rewarded with a Ruby, Amethyst, Diamond, Pink Diamond, or Consumables option pack in NBA 2K22. From the in-game menu, the list below contains the descriptions of what each of the Moments of the Month challenges is in the order of the Lifetime Agenda Group, beginning with the Single Player challenges. Players cannot change a challenge affiliation in NBA 2K22, so it's best to double-check which Moments of the Month challenge is associated with which player before attempting to complete it.

Rewards December Moments of the Month Ruby option pack

These are the beginning Moments of the Month challenges in NBA 2K22. As players complete each challenge and unlock the Ruby option packs, the best players they can pick are the ones that will allow them to complete some of the easier challenges in all subsequent rewards categories. The Single Player game challenges can also be played on the rookie difficulty setting, making them much easier to complete.

• Score 125 In Single Player: Score 125 points over multiple Single Player games
• Score 250 In Single Player: Score 250 points over multiple Single Player
• Score 75 in TTO: Score 75 points over multiple Triple Threat Online games
• Score 75 in Unlimited: Score 75 points over multiple Unlimited games
• Score 75 in Clutch Time: Score 75 points over multiple Clutch Time games

One of the option pack features in NBA 2K22 is that it allows players to select which Moment of the Month player card they choose to unlock. With the Ruby option packs available, the next set of easy-to-complete challenges is the Nowell Career High PTS, Yurtseven REB, and Gafford BLK challenges because they all can be completed over multiple matches as well.

Rewards December Moments of the Month Amethyst option pack

• Yurtseven REB: Get 16 rebounds with Moments Reward Omer Yurtseven over multiple TT or TTO games
• Strus Career High 3's: Make eight 3-pointers with Moments Rewards Max Strus in a single game
• Nowell Career High PTS: Score 29 points with Moments Rewards Jaylen Nowell over multiple multiplayer games
• Metu Game Winner: Score 11 points and get one block with Moments Rewards Chimezie Metu in a single TT or TTO game
• Gafford BLK: Get six blocks with Moment Rewards Daniel Gafford over multiple TT or TTO games

The next best value picks for the NBA 2K22 Moments of the Months rewards are Robert Williams, Saddiq Bey, and Chuma Okeke. Picking these Moments of the Months cards will allow players to complete the Williams Triple-Double, Bey Carer Higher, and Okeke Career High STL challenges quickly. One of the most difficult Moments of the Months challenges that rewards a Diamond option packs is the Graham Game Winner, which requires players to make five four-pointers with Devonte' Graham over multiple games.

To complete this challenge more easily, try to communicate with an opponent to see if they'd be willing to "exchange" challenge opportunities since this has to be done online and is difficult to perform otherwise. With everyone trying to earn Galaxy Opal Demar DeRozan as the final reward, there are most likely players who may be open to a "challenge trade" request in NBA 2K22.

The remaining Moments of the Month challenges should be completed similar to the ones above in NBA 2K22. Unless the challenge seems like it will take time to complete, the first picks should always be one of the 21 Moment cards that can be completed over multiple games in NBA 2K22.
