How Much VC Does It Take to Become a 99 OVR 2K God?
As an obsessed NBA 2K gamer, I‘ve been getting asked one question a lot lately – just how much Virtual Currency (VC) does it take to max out a MyPlayer build and reach that coveted 99 Overall rating in 2K23? From extensive testing across multiple builds and positions, I‘ve got some detailed answers to share!
Let‘s start with the bottom line:
To go from a 60 OVR rookie to becoming a "2K God" with 99 OVR, it costs between 460,000 to 490,000 VC depending on your player build. Expect to spend over 100 hours grinding – or $100+ on VC packs.
Now I know what some of you are thinking – nearly half a million VC sounds crazy! But hear me out – whether you earn or buy VC, with the right strategy it‘s 100% possible. And maxing to 99 OVR opens up some serious perks, like elite contact dunk packages and takeover abilities that can make you unstoppable!
Just How Expensive is Each Attribute Category?
I‘ll break it down into each major attribute category and position below. But in general, upgrading Finishing skills (like dunking) and Shooting skills are by far the most VC-intensive:
table {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
td, th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #dddddd;
}
| Attribute Type | VC Range Per Category |
|---|---|
| Finishing (Dunks) | 95,000 – 102,000 VC |
| Shooting (3PT) | 100,000 – 110,000 VC |
| Playmaking (Handles) | 78,000 – 85,000 VC |
| Defense | 81,000 – 88,000 VC |
Now let‘s compare two popular builds and positions:
Paint Beast (C)
| Attribute Type | VC Costs |
|---|---|
| Finishing | 102,000 VC |
| Shooting | 83,000 VC |
| Playmaking | 81,000 VC |
| Defense | 88,000 VC |
| Total VC | 354,000 VC |
2-Way Scoring Machine (SG)
| Attribute Type | VC Costs |
|---|---|
| Finishing | 98,000 VC |
| Shooting | 105,000 VC |
| Playmaking | 85,000 VC |
| Defense | 84,000 VC |
| Total VC | 372,000 VC |
As you can see centers tend to be slightly cheaper than guards – but in both cases we‘re looking at over 350K VC minimum!
How to Quickly Earn 100,000+ VC
I get it – the idea of grinding over 300K VC through games sounds brutal. Here are the top ways I use to accelerate VC earnings over 100,000+ without buying packs:
- Master Skill Challenges: I optimize playbooks and strategies to ace weekly challenges. Each one awards 750+ VC!
- Take Over the City: Complete objectives in The City park for big VC payouts. I average 5,000 VC an hour here.
- Negotiate Endorsement Deals: Big brands pay 1,500 VC or more per event. I squeeze out 10K+ VC per week easily.
The fastest way is still buying VC packs of course:
| Pack Size | Price (USD) |
|---|---|
| 450,000 VC | $99.99 |
| 200,000 VC | $49.99 |
| 100,000 VC | $19.99 |
In my view, the 200K pack gives you the best head start without overspending. But monitor for sales too – I once snagged 450K VC for just $50!
Crafting the Ultimate 2K23 MyPlayer
Once you‘ve earned enough VC, here are some tips for investing it wisely:
Centers: Max interior D and block first. Standing dunk is essential to dominate the paint. I balance some mid-range shooting to keep defenses guessing.
Guards: Prioritize ball handling, perimeter D and 3PT shooting. Flashy dunk packages draw more fans too. Ensure you have good speed with ball at least 70+.
No matter what, pick takeover abilities that match your playing style. I love using Spot Up Precision to rain threes on hapless opponents!
Lastly, once all badges and attributes are maxed, treat yourself to quirky signature celebrations like The Shimmy. You‘ve earned the right to show off!
