NBA 2K16 has several ways to earn bonus content. The easiest way to purchase items and upgrades in the game is with Virtual Currency (VC).

In NBA 2K16, the best way to earn VC is by simulating games, according to CheatCC. This is a quick process and VC can really add up as it is completed.

To simulate games and earn VC, players will simply begin a game in myCareer mode and set the difficulty to Hall of Fame with 12 minute quarters. Instead of playing the game, the only part of the game they will be playing is the tip-off. After the tip-off is completed, they will hit simulate. After the game is over, the player will be awarded with between 400 to 800 VC, depending on how their simulated character did in the game. This tip-off glitch works every time.

Another way to perform the simulate glitch is by beginning a Hall of Fame game with 12 minute quarters and fouling out. Players will need to quickly foul out as fast as they can in order to be disqualified from the game. Even though they are disqualified, they still will get paid their base salary and be rewarded with 350 VC.

These two glitches allow for easy VC. In order to earn another form of in-game currency called runes, players will select cards they have earned. Once they view their cards, they will rotate and move the card around in every direction. Sometimes by moving the card around, a rune will appear in the left corner of the card near the OVR rating. The rune symbol looks like an alien face. Once five runes are earned, players can go to the Black Market and purchase special items like Rookie of the Year card packs and the Diamond Contract Card.

Several achievements can be earned by playing the game. There are many achievements available by just performing regular actions in the game.
