Learning the techniques and mastering the mechanics in NBA 2K23 can only put you so much ahead of the competition. In order to build the best MyTeam possible or develop the best player possible for MyCareer, you’ll need to farm Virtual Currency (VC), the most important currency in NBA 2K23.
The VC system is essentially a pay-to-win feature of NBA 2K23 as players are allowed to buy tons of VC and stepped their player progress in MyCareer and buy the better cards in MyTeam. There are, however, some ways to earn VC without spending your well-earned money. These methods will likely not put you on the same level as people who choose to buy VC, but they’ll work enough for you to have a good foundation.
We have listed the best ways for you to farm VC in NBA 2K23.
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.
