If it wasn’t about grinding out Badges or maxing out your best players, then NBA 2K25 once again presents the long-term goal of reaching 99 Overall. As you progress through MyCareer and earn MyPoints, your player grows in stats and overall rank.
Reaching 99 Overall as fast as possible is thus sought after by many players, especially this year with the Rebirth changes. What’s the best way to do so in this year’s edition? It may be easier than you think.
How to Quickly Reach 99 Overall
There are several methods to reach 99 Overall, whether by playing the game or grinding the same activity. The latter is more effective, especially in The City, so head to The Temple. Challenge Velvet, the weekly boss, to get him on your team. Select an opponent with the lowest three-point rating since he’ll be the easiest to deal with.
Enter a game, watch the opponent miss shots, and catch the rebound. Lob it to Velvet for the Alley-Oop (since he specializes in the same) and repeat. At the very minimum, you can earn at least 10,000 MyPoints this way. It’s also ideal for grinding out Badges, though remember that it will still take time to reach 99 Overall.
An alternative method, especially if you make a Center build, is to go to The Rec. It’s reportedly doling out much more MyPoints than expected when catching rebounds, so best to take advantage while it’s still effective.
