Alongside The Neighborhood social hub in NBA 2K18 is a new meta-game feature called Road to 99, which offers some neat rewards for you to use in the social space, such as a usable skateboard. The Road to 99 also has some game-changing rewards, such as doubling Virtual Currency gains and unlocking new badges. So, how exactly do you earn these rewards in NBA 2K18?

As the name implies, the Road to 99 aims to keep players motivated in reaching the coveted maximum rating in NBA 2K18. Developer Visual Concepts does this by rewarding players when they reach a certain overall rating. The increments for rewards go up in fives, starting from 65 overall rating up until 90. From then on, there are rewards each time you increase your overall rating by one.

Once you reach the milestone levels, the rewards should be automatically get deposited in your respective inventory, or unlocked in the game world.
