Furthermore, video game blog Gamepur has reported that NBA 2K16 players can also exploit the game's virtual currency (VC) glitch in order to harvest and farm them faster. VCs are an important part of playing NBA 2K games since it allows players to power-up, purchase better gears and enjoy other perks.

The reports say that there are two ways for players to exploit the VC glitch and it depends on two game modes namely "My Career Mode," and "My Park Mode." For the first mode, players need to load up My Career and set-up their game for Hall of Fame Difficulty which should be a 6 or 12 minute-quarter. Then they have to load the next game and complete the tip-off until the end. Upon completing it, they will be rewarded with VC. All they have to do is repeat the process to keep getting rewarded.

On the other hand, the trick to using the My Park Online Mode glitch is that players have to head to a 3-man Got Next Spot and then start the game. They will be able to earn the VC from there and as the game begins, then they need to quit out of the game immediately. However, if players try to use of this My Park Online Mode glitch repeatedly there is a possibility that they may ruin their online record and reputation.

Apart from locker codes and VC glitches, a cheat codes generator for consoles such as the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PS4 are also available. They can be found at the NBA2K16 Locker Codes website. These cheat codes will come in handy since they provide 2K16 players with instructions on how to earn more VC points in 5,000, 50,000, and 100,000 denominations, along with some diamond players.

Furthermore, minor glitches in the game itself have also been fixed. According to 2K Sports' official Facebook page, an NBA 2K16 Patch Update v2 has been approved by Sony and was just released on PlayStation 4 consoles in the US and Europe. A PC update will soon follow pending Microsoft's approval.The developer further revealed that it is already working on the Patch Update v3 that will bring in much larger improvements.
