Do you get more XP for playing in your affiliation in NBA 2K23?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

When you join an "affiliation" in NBA 2K23 MyCareer, you get a 20% XP bonus every time you play a match on one of your affiliation‘s courts. So sticking to your home courts can make leveling up much faster.

What Are Affiliations?

Affiliations act like factions or guilds that MyPlayers can join. There are 4 affiliations in 2K23:

North Side KnightsSouth City Vipers
East Side CannonsWest Side Wyverns

Each affiliation has their own unique narrative, characters, clothing items, and home courts.

Affiliation Bonuses

In addition to the 20% XP boost, joining an affiliation gives you:

  • Exclusive gear and clothing
  • Access to affiliation leaderboards
  • Ability to represent your affiliation on social media
  • Daily Spin location in your affiliation‘s neighborhood

So while the XP bonus is valuable, affiliations do offer more than just fast leveling.

Earning XP Quickly in 2K23

Here are the most effective methods I‘ve found for maximizing XP gains:

  • Daily challenges – Easy XP that refreshes daily
  • Weekly challenges – More difficult but offer big XP payouts
  • The Rec – Competitive but great XP especially with 2XP coins
  • MyCareer SuperStars challenges – Unlock via quests and give huge XP rewards

I also recommend playing on Pro difficulty in MyCareer when grinding. The games are quick and you can easily get A+ teammate grades for an XP bonus.

2XP Coins – When To Use Them

2XP coins double your XP gained from games for 30 mins, 1 hour, or 2 hours. Here is my strategy for getting the most value from 2XP tokens:

  • Play The Rec center when using 2XP for maximum impact
  • Combine with big Weekly Challenges or SuperStar challenges
  • Only use once you have some key badges unlocked
  • Equip your highest rated MyPlayer build before activating

Follow that advice and a 2XP coin could easily get you over 100k XP in the hour!
