Quick Tips to Earn VC Quickly in NBA 2K25

Having your VC budget fully stocked is essential in NBA 2K25, but if you want to avoid microtransactions, how can you quickly accumulate it? Here are some helpful tips.

For anyone familiar with NBA 2K, VC (Virtual Currency) is vital. It’s necessary for upgrading your MyPlayer in MyCareer, acquiring packs and players in MyTeam, and purchasing cosmetics and other in-game items.

If you’re not actively gathering VC, you’re likely to fall behind other players. Even early in the NBA 2K25 cycle, players with 90+ overall ratings are already dominating in the Park, a feat that requires substantial VC.

So, how can you amass VC quickly? Here are some strategies for NBA 2K25.

Buying VC

Ultimately, if you want to progress efficiently, your best option might be to buy VC. While it may not be ideal to spend hundreds on microtransactions after purchasing the game, many players are doing so and gaining a significant advantage. As observed, numerous players with 90+ overall ratings have already emerged, showcasing the benefits of purchasing VC.

The cost of buying VC ranges from $1.99/£2 to $149.99/£150, depending on how much you wish to invest. However, if you prefer not to spend any additional money, other methods can still yield results.

VC is the backbone of NBA 2K’s economy.

Playing MyCareer & Park games

The most effective way to earn VC without spending is by playing MyCareer and Park. Engaging in games and progressing through your journey can yield VC through contracts and in-game challenges.

Although players have expressed that free VC earnings have been ‘nerfed’ from previous editions, with season quests now providing 2.5k VC compared to 10K last year, you can still earn around 1K VC for each game played.

That’s not an insignificant amount.

Locker Codes

Locker Codes can provide significant VC rewards, though they are often limited and not a reliable source of income. Staying alert for these opportunities in-game or on social media can pay off.

Answering 2KTV quizzes correctly

The 2KTV quizzes offer a more reliable income stream compared to Locker Codes, as they are available regularly. While they might not yield large amounts quickly, they do require minimal effort. If you’re knowledgeable about the NBA, you’ll likely know the answers, but if you need assistance, you can find answer guides.

Daily NBA pick ‘ems

Additionally, during the NBA season, participating in daily pick ‘ems is a great way to earn VC passively. By making choices on real-world games using the pick ‘em machines, you can earn favorable VC rewards for accurate predictions. You also have the option to double your earnings if you’re feeling lucky.

Don’t forget to spin the daily lucky wheel for an extra chance to win free VC.

Accurately predicting NBA game results can provide you with valuable VC.

It’s important to accumulate VC, especially considering that it costs around 370K-400K VC to reach a 99 overall rating from a 60 overall starting point. This amount of grinding can be challenging for players who wish to avoid additional spending, so utilize all available free opportunities to boost your VC supply.
