Do you want to increase your VC balance in NBA 2K26 without using real money? There are plenty of good ways to pile on VC, but you have to know how to best spend your time. From beating Streak Breakers, challenging MVPs, grinding Street Kings, completing the available challenges, and claiming daily rewards, here’s a simple guide on the fastest methods to earn VC efficiently.
How to Make VC Fast in NBA 2K26
Making VC in NBA 2K26 doesn’t have to cost you real money. The game has plenty of options for you to build your VC if you know how to take advantage of the options it offers. Here is a breakdown of the best strategies you can use to build VC quickly.
1. Streak Breakers
A quick way to start raking in VC’s is by targeting and taking down players with the Streak Breaker icons in the Park. If you beat someone on a win streak, you’ll get VC equal to the length of their streak. For example, breaking a 35 game streak earns you 35,000 VC, while ending a 100 game streak is worth an incredible 100,000 VC. If you are good enough, this high risk high reward strategy becomes the most lucrative.
2. Crew Rewards
Forming a crew, or joining an existing one, is another solid way to gain extra VC. As your crew levels up, they unlock incremental VC percentage bonuses on all VC earned. At level 7, you earn a 5% bonus, which goes up to 10% at level 13, jumps to 25% at level 20, and finally at level 25, you earn 50% extra VC from games. The more your crew is active, the faster you hit these marks and take home bulk payouts.
3. MVP of the Park
Another lucrative opportunity comes from challenging the MVP of the Park, who is marked with a court icon. Defeating them gives you five times the normal VC and Rep rewards. This can quickly boost both your currency and progression. However, it’s important to note that MVP rewards do not stack with Streak Breaker rewards, so you’ll only benefit from one bonus per game.
4. Endorsements
Endorsements are one of the most rewarding features in MyCareer, but they depend on how many fans you have. The more fans you attract, the faster endorsement opportunities unlock, bringing large VC payouts. To build your fanbase efficiently, always pick the “Gain Fans” dialogue option during interviews and text interactions. This small choice pays off in the long run as endorsements scale up significantly with your popularity.
5. Street Kings Mode
Street Kings is arguably the best mode for farming VC, badges, and XP at the same time. A highly recommended strategy is to play against Poster Child, a 5’7 player who lacks defensive skills and is easy to score on. Each game against him only takes about three and a half minutes and pays roughly 352 VC. Over time, this adds up to a steady income. Beating all Street Kings bosses also provides additional rewards and helps you progress toward completing lifetime challenges.
6. City & Career Challenges
Daily challenges are a consistent way to build VC. Each one pays out 500 VC, and completing all three in a day gives you an additional 1,000 VC bonus. While seasonal challenges usually aren’t worth grinding just for VC, lifetime challenges can be game-changing. Completing 250 lifetime challenges rewards you with 500,000 VC, and hitting 300 grants a massive 5,000,000 VC. Career quests, which you naturally progress through while playing MyCareer and Street Kings, are another solid source of VC along the way.
7. Daily Rewards
Don’t forget to take advantage of daily rewards. The Daily Spin can reward anywhere from a modest 100 VC to an impressive 1 million VC if you’re lucky. Additionally, the Daily Pick’em challenge allows you to predict real NBA game outcomes, with each correct prediction earning 100 VC. These features may not make you rich instantly, but they add up quickly when claimed consistently every day.
Final Tips
- Prioritize daily/lifetime challenges for consistent VC.
- Use Street Kings for fast and repeatable VC farming.
- Always keep an eye out for MVPs and Streak Breakers in the Park.
- Spin the wheel and do Pick’em every day for bonus VC.
