NBA 2K24 is here, the latest iteration in the long-running NBA franchise. And with it comes the Season 1 Pass, and the grind to level 40. This NBA 2K24 guide will show you how you can do just that, quickly and efficiently.

Just Play

No matter what NBA 2K24 mode you enjoy playing, whether it is Single Player 5v5 Domination or Salary Cap, or Multiplayer Pro-AM, you will be earning XP to put towards the Season Pass, so let that be your first guide to determining what to grind.

Challenges and Quests

Daily and Weekly Challenges in NBA 2K24 are designed to keep you coming back to the game as regularly as possible, so there are several which offer Season Pass progression as well. If you have any intention of using an XP doubler, do not hand the Challenges in, until after you activate it for maximum value returned.

Quests can also aid in leveling the Season Pass, and if you can identify them all, you could potentially combine their completion with an XP doubling coin.

2XP Coins

These XP doublers are found under Manage, then XP Coins, and will give you just the boost you need to level the NBA 2K24 Season Pass. You unlock more than twenty of them, of varying durations, over the course of the Season Pass itself, with a bonus coin thrown in for NBA 2K24 pre-order owners. Be sure that you have plenty of spare time to squeeze maximum value out of each, since they begin ticking away the instant you activate them, and run for up to 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

Despite there being two distinct modes in NBA 2K24: MyTeam and MyCareer, both share the same leveling progression path. This means you can play your preferred mode at your discretion, and still get rewards in the other mode, including those Double XP Coins. 

It is recommended you strategize their use for the latter one-third of the Season Pass, around Level 27 or 28, for maximum benefit. As mentioned above you can try to get the most bang for your buck, by completing surefire Quests and Challenges while the Coin is active for the best effect.

Buy Level Skips

While not the first choice for any players, if your time does come at a premium, so the option to buy level skips for the Season Pass from the in-game store does exist.

That is everything you can possibly do to reach level 40 in the Season Pass for NBA 2K24.
