NBA 2K22: How to unlock custom spawn locations?

NBA 2K22’s custom spawn mechanism needs to be unlocked by players. However, gamers need not fret as the procedure itself is pretty straightforward. In order to gain access to these custom spawn locations, players need to need to travel the old-fashioned way to the NBA store which is located towards the center of the map.

However, instead of going inside the store, players need to walk to the alley which is towards the right of the NBA store. Here, gamers will meet a person called ATM who will give them a minor quest they need to complete.

This should lead to the unlocking of another, more important quest called the “Unlock Spawn location” quest.

Players simply need to travel around the city for exactly 26.2 miles in order to complete the challenge and unlock the custom spawn locations around the city. However, this can prove to be challenging as gamers are not allowed to use the bike or the skateboard to get around, and instead have to walk around the city.
