NBA 2K23: How to Get to 99 OVR

Whether you are playing MyTeam or MyCareer in NBA 2K23, one important aspect of the game is to have players with the highest possible OVR rating. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry are the highest-rated players in NBA 2K23 as of the November 18 roster update with an OVR rating of 97, but did you know players can reach an OVR rating of 99?

If you’ve ever played with elite players like Antetokounmpo (97 OVR), Joel Embiid (96 OVR), and LeBron James (96 OVR), you know how easy it is to outplay your opponents with these players’ superior ability, and that’s before they get to 99 OVR.

Reaching an OVR rating of 99 is not an easy task; it requires patience and a lot of game time. Here is a guide to help you reach that goal faster.

What is the key to getting to 99 OVR in NBA 2K23?

You will earn MyPoints as you play your way through NBA 2K23. MyPoints allow you to upgrade a players’ attributes, which are key in increasing the OVR rating of your player until it eventually reaches your goal of 99. 

MyPoints are earned in every game that you play, but some factors can help you earn MyPoints faster depending on your capability.

Changing difficulty

Adjusting the game difficulty will affect the number of points you will be getting in each game. The harder the mode, the more points that you will get, but make sure to adjust according to your capability as you will not get full points losing a game. 

Rookie: 30 percent MyPoints modifier

Semi-Pro: 60 percent MyPoints modifier

Pro: 100 percent MyPoints modifier

All-Star: 120 percent MyPoints modifier

Superstar: 140 percent MyPoints modifier

Hall of Fame: 160 percent MyPoints modifier

Pro is always a good place to start for players who are familiar with the NBA 2K, and those who are completely new to the game might want to begin on Rookie. 

Play in your position

You can do anything you want in the game, but sticking to your role will do wonders for you and your team. While you can win by hogging the ball with one superior player, it damages your teammates’ grades and the overall rating of the team. 

On the other hand, playing in your position allows your player to do what they do best while helping the team. In case of offensive players, it also helps your player score more points, which adds up to more MyPoints at the end of the game.

Player badges

Badges allow you to boost certain attributes of your player’s game. Like MyPoints, badges can be unlocked by playing games. Additionally, you can complete training to collect badge points, which can be used to unlock new badges. 

Make sure to collect badges that are beneficial to your player’s position as not all badges work the same with players of different positions. Check this out to see the best badges for shooting guards.
