Cost of VC for Achieving 99 Overall in NBA 2K25

Leading up to the release, fans have been curious about the VC cost to achieve a 99 overall rating in NBA 2K25. While there have been speculations that it might be higher than last year’s costs, that’s not quite the case.

Max 99 Overall Player VC Cost in NBA 2K25

To fully upgrade and achieve a 99 overall rating in the MyCareer mode of NBA 2K25, you will need a total of 372,000 VC. This amount remains consistent regardless of your player build, as the overall rating is solely determined by the VC invested in that player. We also included a comprehensive table below showing the VC required for each overall rating, so be sure to take a look.

It’s important to note that the 372,000 VC calculation accounts only for attribute upgrades. If you want to unlock the best animations and cosmetics, you will need to invest a little extra VC. To accumulate that additional VC, players can either grind through the game or utilize Locker Codes when available.

Values are cumulative – It takes 100K VC to reach 76 OVR; not 100K + 90K + 80K…

As shown in the table, it costs approximately 4,000 VC per overall point until you hit 70. After that, the cost rises to 10,000 VC per rating until you achieve 85 overall. From this point forward, it will cost 13,000 VC for each subsequent overall increase until you max out your player at 99.

Now that you understand the VC requirements to reach 99 overall in NBA 2K25, it’s time to start grinding for that VC.
