VC is a premium currency in NBA 2K21 that players can spend in a variety of different game modes on various cosmetics, attributes, and more. While fans can use real world money to purchase this VC, it can also be earned through standard gameplay, and this may leave some NBA 2K21 players wondering about the absolute fastest ways to get VC. It is with that in mind that this guide is being written, and indeed fans will find a very effective method for farming VC in what follows.
This method for earning VC in NBA 2K21 centers around the title's Blacktop mode, which can be accessed through the Play Now section of the main menu. For players that are unaware, Blacktop is particularly good for farming VC because this NBA 2K21 game mode allows for "fast-paced" games, and fans should push this concept as far as possible to maximize their gains. This means selecting One vs. One and putting Game Conditions to 5 when prompted, as those settings will keep game times very low.
At this point the player should select their MyPlayer, who will hopefully have at least some of the best badges in NBA 2K21 equipped, and give themselves a sub-optimal opponent – more specifically, one that has a very low overall rating. Indeed, going up against a foe with an overall that is below 70 will make it even easier to finish these games fast, and again speed is the critical element of this VC farming method.
Now all a player must do is reach five points to win the game, and there is a strategy that can be used to achieve this in no time at all. That strategy is to take the ball far back, almost to half court if need be, and then speed boost past the opponent and straight to the rim. This is where the foe's low overall rating really comes into play, and fans can find a a visual reference for this technique in the video above.
When the game reaches its conclusion players will receiving indication that they have earned VC in NBA 2K21, and the total amount is 200. While this may not seem like a staggering figure, it adds up fast due to just how quickly these Blacktop games go. Additionally, players can select Rematch after the VC notification has disappeared to jump right back into the action, thus keeping the VC coming without any real amount of downtime.
