Easy VC

Set up a MyLeague using one of the historic Bulls team, then Simcast live through each game to get approximately 200 to 300 VC for each game. It takes about 15 minutes per game. Download the MyNBA2K17 app. You can get free VC at least three times a day, using three accounts (for example, using your iPad and Android device). You can login via GameCenter to get VC, then Google to get more VC, then just using your 2K account. They are three different sets of cards for three times the daily VC.

Grand Badges

Grand Badges are secret badges that give players a special meter providing them a temporary buff in MyCareer matches and are some of the best boosts that a player can get in the game. Each archetype in the game has a Grand Badge that is exclusive to it. There is one Grand Badge in the game called the Sharpshooter Pro Grand Badge that allows a player to shoot from almost anywhere on the court. To get a Grand Badge, you must perform a character's Archetype Badge over a hundred times. Once you unlock a Grand Badge, a red icon will appear under the player. Note: You can still achieve badge progression on the Rookie difficulty.

How to equip Accessories

There are different ways to get the Accessories, all you need to do is buy them from 2K Store which is a default option or you can earn accessories as rewards by performing different activities on your days off. Sometimes pre-ordered deluxe edition of the game also gets you many different shoes or you can get shoes from endorsements etc. To apply the accessories to your MyPlayer, go to the 2K store and Select accessories. Search for the accessory you want to apply then equip to wear it.

How to equip Tattoos

You need Virtual Currency to buy tattoos from the in-game store. You can earn virtual currency in the game itself. After every game, you will be rewarded with some amount of this virtual Currency or you can spend real money to buy. Once you have enough VC, search for 2K Store in the main menu then Everything Else category, there you can buy tattoos of your choice. Applying tattoo is an easy task. Simply go to the MyPlayer Appearance, there select Player Customization. After that select Choose Tattoos then Search for the tattoo you want to apply and apply it on your Player's body part.

How to Farm Virtual Currency

Here are some finest Tips and Trick you can get to farm the Virtual Currency. Note: The Pre-order Bonus VC cannot be used in The Prelude, you have to wait until the full game is released.

My League
This Farming technique is not included in the Prelude, but you can try it one the game is out. Go to My League and let the CPU play games against each other. All you need to do is wait for the game to end and do not touch the controller. The Longer the game the more VC you get.

My Career
The Best and the easiest way to farm your money is the Career Mode which offers different games and challenges. Every Game rewards you a decent amount of VC.

NBA 2K17 App
If you download and open the NBA 2K17 App, try to play some cards game and this will also reward you with Decent VC.

NBA 2KTV
If App is not working right for you then try watching some clips on NBA 2KTV and try to answer the questions that fire up and you get a good amount of VC.

Infinite VC

At the main menu, select "Play Now", then "Play Now Online", and choose a Tier 4 team. Once the game starts, immediately foul the opposing team, then pause the game and select "Quit". You should get approximately 500 VC. Repeat the same progress again. After quitting a second time, quit the game entirely by either closing the game app from the system menu or resetting the system. Then, repeat this process as many times as desired to get an unlimited amount of VC. Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game and will eventually get patched.

Tips and Tricks

You need to practice and perfect it first before challenging top teams.

When is comes to defense, use most eligible defenders to guard superstars in the coaching options?

Every team is having pick and roll and off-ball movements etc. as set of plays. Use the L1 (LB) button and select suitable one using the right stick to run plays.

When it comes to offense, don't rush things until you managed to grab a defensive rebound/steal or your way is all clear to reach basket or when it is a fast break. You can run for 2 or 3 pick and rolls or plays according to the situation in 24 seconds time.

Press L1 to call for a pick and roll.

Press L1 after calling for the pick to early slip or fade.

Use R1 to switch between roll and fade.

Use R2 to change pick and roll for the right side and the left side of the ball handler.

After picking and roll, trick your opponents by acting like you are going for a shot, drive for a layup or pass it.

If you can't manage the pick, go back and try another one or even with the another player in defense.

If you try for a roll, your teammates go for the basket after the screen. It would be good if the screener is having the medium range or 3pt shoot rating for good jumpers.

When it comes to shooting, the perfect shot release is important.

Player's feet should be looking towards the basket while shooting as feet position is also important for a shot.

Keep is notice that different players shoot more efficiently from different areas of the Court.

It is very important to learn the Strengths and weaknesses of your team so that you can perform better by overcoming them.

To master the "perfect release", you have to practice a lot as the different player has different shot release time.

Make sure to utilize all the great skills, for example, 3pt shooting skills, centers and power Forwards of your players in the team.

You can set the substitution settings to manual to substitute your player according to need, once you get to know their skills.

For the bounce pass - Circle (B)

For a flashy pass - Circle (B) press twice quickly

For the standard chest pass - X (A on the Xbox)

For an overhead pass - Triangle (Y)

For "give and go" - hold X (A) button after your movement, release X (A) button for quick pass.

For an alley oop pass - Triangle (Y) press twice quickly.

For an off the board, alley oop - tap Triangle twice after aiming.

First check your Camera angles and positions to know better court vision, select the one you are comfortable with, to check on your teammates which are open for a pass.

Call for an Isolation and play one on one when your point guard is guarded by other team's center or power forward player, after some moves you will be able to go for a shot or a pass.

Try to take advantage of your height and post moves to go for a basket when your Center is being guarded by other team's point guard or shooting guard, who are smaller in height and watch out for 5 seconds back-to-back violations and 3 seconds in the key.

There are some fouling shooters who are bad at free throws in the game, take advantage of that and make them earn 2 points. Press the Intentional foul button when foul shooters get the ball on the court.

To avoid offensive rebound, you need to box out on the second free throw attempt.

Make sure that you are in foul bonus and make sure that your key players to not to get fouled out.
