Fastest Way to Earn MyPoints and Get 99 Overall in NBA 2K25

To quickly reach 99 overall in NBA 2K25, you'll need to employ various actions in each game to max out the gain of MyPoints.  

1 - MyCAREER games

On defense, focus on speeding up possessions by implementing a half-court trap. Activate this by pressing left on the D-pad, followed by RB (Xbox) or R1 (PS). If you find yourself trailing, temporarily switch to man-to-man defense, but revert to the trap once you're tied or in the lead. This defensive strategy aims to regain possession as quickly as possible, allowing for more offensive opportunities.

On the offensive end, your primary goal is to execute alley-oops consistently. Start by identifying wing players with at least a silver Aerial Wizard badge. As you bring the ball up the court, call for a screen from one of these players by tapping LB/L1 to display teammate icons, then hold the specific icon of your chosen screener. If the screen is set on your right, begin with the ball in your left hand. Perform a signature size-up move by flicking the right stick diagonally up-right, then engage the turbo and drive towards the screener. Your objective is to draw the defender into a full switch.

Once you've achieved the defensive switch, or if you notice an open lane to the basket, it's time to execute the alley-oop pass, do this by double-tapping Y (Xbox) or Triangle (PS). This play is particularly effective with strong lob catchers like LeBron James or Anthony Davis. The beauty of this method lies in its ability to accumulate significant MyPoints through a combination of alley-oop assists, attack assists, and pick-and-roll assists all in one play.

Mastering this technique requires practice and patience. You'll need to develop a keen sense of recognizing optimal passing angles, even in seemingly improbable situations. For instance, a lob to a trailing big man can sometimes work despite defenders in proximity. While you may commit turnovers initially, it's crucial to minimize these as they negatively impact your teammate's grade. If a screen doesn't create an immediate advantage, don't force the play – reset and try again. Remember, maintaining a good teammate grade is essential for overall progression. With consistent application and refinement of this strategy, you'll rapidly accumulate MyPoints and accelerate your journey to the 99 overall rating in NBA 2K25.

2 - Temple Streetball Court games

First, locate the Temple Streetball Court on the map by selecting it and zooming in. This court is crucial for the method, similar to last year's game. Upon arriving at the court, the initial step is to defeat the Ballburglar team. This is important because once you beat them, you can use the Ballburglar character as a teammate in subsequent games. The Ballburglar is a 7-foot power forward with exceptional skills in steals and driving dunks, making him ideal for alley-oop plays.

After defeating the Ballburglar team, set up your lineup for the street ball games. Put yourself on the weakest opponent, then add the Ballburglar to your team. You can also include other skilled AI teammates like Peppermint Maddie, a 6'11" two-way small forward who can shoot from the corner. The strategy revolves around throwing alley-oop passes to the Ballburglar, exploiting his ability to finish contact dunks even from poorly thrown lobs. To execute this, tap LB/L1 to bring up your teammates' icons, then select Ballburglar 's icon to throw the lob.

During the game, focus on creating opportunities for alley-oops. Run diagonally across screens to get good angles for lob passes. Don't worry too much about playing defense early in the game, as letting the opponents shoot quickly can save time. However, be prepared to play defense if you start falling behind. While lobs are the primary method, don't hesitate to take open shots when available. The key is to win the game while maximizing assists and spectacular plays. As the game progresses, be ready for double teams and adjust by passing to open teammates in the corner. This method can yield around 14,000-15,000 points in just 5-6 minutes, making it an efficient way to reach 99 overall quickly.
