Quick Ways to Earn VC in NBA 2K25: Endorsements, Quests, and More Tips

Here’s a look at ways NBA 2K25 players can earn VC quickly and efficiently.

Virtual currency (VC) is the essential element of NBA 2K25. VC is necessary for MyPlayer upgrades, purchasing animations, and acquiring packs for MyTeam.

With VC being crucial for various aspects of the game, strategizing how to obtain it efficiently is advisable.

Here are some effective options for NBA 2K25 players to earn VC swiftly.

The MyCareer Grind

To amass VC, players will need to grind in MyCareer. After each game, VC is earned, but the amount depends on performance and difficulty level.

At rookie difficulty, players earn 30% VC, but this percentage increases with higher difficulties, peaking at a 160% increase at Hall of Fame difficulty for single-player MyCareer.

Players have noted a reduction in VC earnings compared to NBA 2K24.

Endorsements & Quests

Endorsements and side quests return for NBA 2K25‘s MyCareer.

Endorsements are not available immediately; players must first play several games and work into the starting rotation. After that, they need to converse with Patrick in the arena and MyCourt to unlock available endorsements.

Choosing achievable goal-based shoe endorsements is vital. For instance, endorsing New Balance can lead to a VC bonus if the player makes the All-Rookie team in Year 1, which is a realistic goal. In contrast, endorsing a brand that requires winning an NBA title might be challenging for players on weaker teams.

Additionally, performing well and gaining fans unlocks further endorsement opportunities with companies like American Express and Hotels.com.

Side quests involve completing various goals throughout The City, which can range from wearing a new outfit to winning games in Streetball. Completing these quests can yield VC, depending on the specific challenge.

2KTV

Players engaging in MyCareer and MyTeam should tune in to the weekly episodes of 2KTV. Each episode features interactive questions that reward players for correct answers.

It’s important to note that not every question offers VC rewards. Some may provide reduced VC bonuses or 2KTV clothing items for MyCareer. Generally, players can earn about 200 VC for each correct multiple-choice answer.

MyNBA

Similar to earlier versions, players can earn VC through MyNBA. Those participating in franchise mode can accumulate virtual currency, but there’s a useful trick to maximize VC earnings.

By choosing to simulate a game with Simcast Live, players can earn VC just by observing the simulation for a few minutes. While the rewards are modest, doing this for an hour can lead to decent earnings.

To speed up this process, set the Simcast simulation speed to x6 and press a button during timeouts to advance through them quickly.

Season Pass

NBA 2K25 players can also earn VC through season passes, which cycle every six weeks. However, keep in mind that VC bonuses come with a price.

2K incorporates VC bonuses in the Premium Pass, which requires purchasing either the Pro Pass ($9.99 USD) or Hall of Fame Pass ($19.99 USD). The Hall of Fame Pass offers additional benefits, including a 15,000 VC bonus, making it less accessible for free-to-play players.
