For my career players here's the breakdown: Play key games only (there are 12 key games per season) - here's the breakdown: Pick a good team (thunder, suns, wolves, Celtics, etc.) 5 min quarters, rookie difficulty Foul till you get to the fourth quarter Play all of the 4rth quarter (just shoot threes if you can or whatever else your player is good at) Sim the playoffs 1 or 2 games at a time till you have to play your final game (if your on a good team this should be a breeze) Win championship (6 more to go) Rinse and repeat Some things to note: Sometimes they won't be bench you when you get 4 fouls and you will be forced to play the whole game (you have two choices play full game or just foul out ... Most cases they will bench u after 2 quarters it's just depends on what your season objectives are) I always suggest picking anything other than NBA cup as your first half season objective and for the second half season objective always do MVP run objective Why I did 7 seasons (mainly to get an additional 50k VC from the Fiba Cup games which occur after your 3rd season and 7th season (FOR THIS MAKE SURE YOU PICK THE FIBA CUP TOURNAMENT CHALLENGE FOR THE OFF SEASON OBJECTIVES) If you do all of this: You get 25k VC per season times 7 Plus 50k VC for fiba Plus additional VC from endorsement and quests along the way All of this will get you to 90 overall Edit: This took me a entire weekend to do, where I would grind 2 seasons per day sometimes 3 seasons. I work full time so anybody can do this

how are you getting 25k vc a szn? asking bc rookie usually gives me about 700-800vc and if you play a total of about 12 games a szn(only key games) that’s about like 8,400-9,400 a szn

Now Joe KNOWS how long it takes to go from 60-99 overall without spending a dime 🔥🔥🔥

[@brodiepenpraze]

Gang he legit already did this last year

[@Visionfv56]

Bud it was a joke because his yt name is joe knows😭 use your brain

[@santadbg5759]

Nah it’s even harder than this because his teammates were carrying him, when u a 60 nobody wants to play wit you

Did I need to watch 4 hours of Joe doing NMS=NO. Did I watch 4 hours of Joe doing NMS=Yes. I salute you for doing this. It's not easy at all.

[@PauseItMF]

Not trying to hate but running with some of the best players in the game isn't a luxury most of us have. I would love to see you do it bare bones in random rec or no squad theater...now that's a challenge!

[@jabraillemorrison7204]

this is a great point

[@DatBoi_YT]

man 60-99 with no teammates would be crazy. Probly would take 5x as long maybe even more lol That's a crazy grind especially cuz youd have to play park/rec and those modes give no VC compared to 3v3 pro am

[@smokingandtalking6958]

That why u just watch for entertainment

[@PauseItMF]

@@DatBoi_YT That's a 5m view video easily though Joe! It'll be God tier if you manage to keep a positive record too! Make it an end of the year project for the people 🙏🏾

[@DatBoi_YT]

@@PauseItMF Definitely feel it bro. Last year I did two 60 overalls at the same time. That vid was a good challenge as well

[@Nenobands23]

If only we had as good as teammates as joes does so we can go from 60-99😂😂😂😂

[@LongBird02]

Swear I be considerate hopping on with brown shirts just for them to leave after 5 points

[@dwade3forMVP]

Not going to lie you not doing 65 vert when you got 64 for lebron dunk style had me tilted not getting bronze poster lmao. Great video.

[@kieranmitchell5088]

And the fact he needed like 300vc to get 45 standing dunk for more animations was killing me 😂
