The best ways to earn VC in NBA 2K23

Play MyCareer on a higher difficulty

If you go for the higher difficulties in MyCareer, you’ll earn substantially more VC for winning games than you would on the easiest levels. Of course, this method is not the best for unexperienced players, but once you get the hang of the game and how the AI plays, you can safely change the difficulty and start earning more VC to spend on your character.

NBA2KTV trivia

The trivia questions that are featured in NBA2KTV ahead of MyCareer matches can also be accessed in the main menu of MyCareer. It’s simple, if you have the basketball knowledge to answer them correctly, the game will award you with VC.

Download the myNBA2K23 app on your phone

The myNBA2K23 app is already available for Android and should be available for iOS in a matter of days. You can earn VC by simply logging in daily in the app and by playing some games that are available in the app.
