Here’s one quick trick to earn VC a lot faster in NBA 2K18.
Money might make the world go round IRL, but in NBA 2K18, Virtual Currency is king. Having a healthy amount of VC on hand is especially important if you play a lot of MyTeam or MyCareer mode, as it helps you get better players or become better yourself a lot faster.
The addition of many more cosmetic goodies in MyCareer mode makes VC even more of a necessity. And yes, you can buy them in microtransactions or just grit your teeth and grind them out, but wouldn’t you like the sports game equivalent of a get rich quick scheme?
Fortunately, the hard-working folks at US Gamer have provided us with exactly that. Along with many other helpful tips on what you can and should be doing daily to earn VC, their writers came up with the best way to make VC fast.
It’s not even that hard:
- Set up a MyLeague season and play as whichever franchise you wish.
- Go into the settings and change the quarter length to the maximum 12 minutes.
- Remaining in settings, change the game speed to 100.
- Use the Simcast feature to simulate the game until sometime in the fourth quarter, then jump in and play the game until the end.
This trick takes advantage in a loophole when it comes to simming games, because if you finish the game in Simcast, you will only receive VC for the total amount of time you played manually (and the game tells you as much). However, ending the game live circumvents this.
