RULES & ELIGIBILITY
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES & PRIZE INFO
CASH PRIZES
Active subscribers compete for real cash prizes every month. The more subscribers join the community, the bigger the prize pool grows for everyone.
MONTHLY PRIZES
Base prize pool: $885/month — grows as the community grows.
YEARLY PRIZES
At the end of each NBA 2K season, the top performers across the whole season compete for a yearly prize pool. Prize amounts are determined by total subscriber count at season end. The more the community grows, the bigger the payout.
PRIZE PAYMENT
Prizes are paid electronically within 7 days of the award announcement via:
Winners will be contacted via their registered email address. Prize must be claimed within 30 days.
SEASON CALENDAR
A season on 2K Goat is one NBA 2K release cycle, not a calendar year. Season totals, the Yearly MVP race, and the Yearly Champion all reset when a new 2K drops — so a new game means everyone starts from zero.
- → Monthly awards keep running on calendar months and are unaffected by the season reset.
- → Between one season's final day and the next season's start date, uploads are closed. Games played on the outgoing 2K must be uploaded before the season's final day to count.
- → Past seasons stay on the leaderboards and in the Hall of Fame — nothing is deleted.
ELIGIBILITY
- → Active subscription required to appear on leaderboards and qualify for awards.
- → Minimum 15 games per month required to qualify for monthly awards.
- → Only Rec Center and Pro-Am games count toward leaderboards.
- → One account per player. Multiple accounts will result in permanent ban.
- → Free accounts get one build. Subscribers can run up to 3 builds, one per position. Each build competes separately — its own stats, its own 15-game minimum, and its own shot at every award, exactly as if it were another player.
GAME MODES

Does NOT count. Park games are excluded.
MONTHLY AWARDS
Awarded to the player with the highest overall hidden score. Accounts for all stats including defense.
Awarded on the same hidden score as MVP, but among players who stream. To qualify you need a linked YouTube, Twitch or Kick channel, 15+ uploads and 10+ verified 2K streamsin the month, plus an active subscription. Streams are checked by hand each month. Winning this doesn't rule you out of MVP — you can take both.
Awarded to the top scorer and playmaker based on PPG and APG combined.
Awarded to the best defender based on SPG, BPG, and opponent field goal percentage.
For the player who does everything except score — rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, with turnovers held against you. Points are ignored completely. You must average under 10 PPG to qualify, so this stays its own category rather than a second MVP for whoever scores most.
Top player at each position (PG, SG, SF, PF, C). Permanent Hall of Fame recognition. No cash prize.
