How to unlock the How Much Ya Got? achievement in NBA 2K16 - Definitive Guide

I have been playing MyCareer for many, many hours. At the end my Center was 95 overall, won 7 Championship tittles, 9 MVP Awards, 5 Finals MVP Awards and scored over 35.000 points. But all these numbers wasn’t enough to sign even one max contract (once I had 490VC offer after third round of negotiations)… I was pissed, tired of this game and losing my hope… Luckily I unlocked this achievement yesterday and I can say for sure that You can unlock this achievement in one hour!

The key thing here is to use fact that in current NBA 2K16 roster the Orlando Magic don’t have even one Small Forward. So just create a new player and select Small Forward position. To make the whole process faster skip every cutscene in the game. Then You have to foul out in 3 games in High School, choose whatever College You want and again foul out next 4 games in College. You need only 5 fouls to be ejected.

After that You should be drafted as a #29 overall pick by the Brooklyn Nets. In your first NBA season You must take part in 8 games but You don’t need to play them. Just enter the game and during first possession press cn_start and select Sim to the end. Game settings probably don’t matter but I selected difficulty on Rookie, quarter time on 12 minutes and game speed on 100.

When You will finish Your first NBA season, there will be a Free agency. Your player didn’t play well and his numbers are pretty shitty so 29 NBA teams won’t give him more than 50% interested. But… At the top spot You will see 100% interested from the Orlando Magic! And here is the moment when You need a little bit of luck. Choose Magic and two other teams. Their first offer will probably be 450 VC. The key thing is to get 500 VC at the end of negotiations. Personally I got max offer during my second try. At the first time they increased offer just once to 475 VC and stopped at that number. So I had to repeat the whole process and spent one more hour.

During my second try I selected the Orlando Magic (100% interested again), the Los Angeles Lakers (42%) and my current team – the Brooklyn Nets (40%). In the first negotiations day I selected Both from the Magic and Hold from two other teams. The offer increased from 450 VC to 475 VC. In the second day I asked for more money from the Magic and declined offers from Lakers and Nets. It might be the key because after that Magic offered me 500 VC! When You will see 500 VC on the screen don’t hesitate and press Accept. I’m not 100% sure if getting 500 VC depends on luck or declining offers from other teams but I can truly tell You that this method is much more reliable and effective than wasting many hours for playing another one or two full seasons. And it is much better than wasting your own money for buying VC from 2K. This achievement doesn't base on your players' overall.

I hope that above method will help few people which are tired of MyCareer in NBA 2K16 just like me.

Special thanks to stowie.

Thanks for taking the time to post this Tom! Me gusta! Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the Magic to offer me more than 425 vc for an initial offer so even if I get them to up it twice, the max I can get is 475.

Maybe I will try another pass through it at some point.

Thanks again for sharing.

Keep trying and You will finally unlock it! For me it's just stupid that You can't get 500 VC every time when You have 100% interested :/

Same here, like @Test1.
Magic offers me 425VC, and 475VC at the third round.

I follow the exact same path you wrote on your solution, but impossible to have Magic offers me 450VC from first round. :/

And if we upgrade our player to 88 GEN (max possible, i think?) and having "good stats" during our first 8 nba games, would it affect the free agency (especially the salary)?

It May help but You need to spend more time and use VC. I had 450 VC in first round twice and even that was not enough in my first try. If You want to spend more time, I would recommend to improve stats without buying any VC.

Tom, what level was your player? Was he just a start-up player (not upgraded)? Trying to figure out if you did anything differently than we are to earn the 450 vc initial offer.

He was 55 overall without any upgrades. And I didn't change anything like his size, height etc. Just basic player.

shoot, mine was too. I will try another run later tonight. My guy was drafted by the Lakers 27th but I doubt that impacted it.

I was able to get it after trying after rerunning it from the beginning. This time I was drafted 28th by the Celtics and offered 450 vc initially, and got them to raise it both times by asking for more money. props to the solution!

TomMeGusta you are a champion!!
After I played through my season with my Center winning every award possible, averaging 35+ points 16+ Rebs 4+ Blocks I thought I was a shoe in for max! That was a hard NO

I was pissed!! Then I saw your post! I didn't have confidence it would work but might as well try..

Followed everything you said, got drafted by Lakers.. At free agency magic were on top at 100%

I chose Magic, Lakers and Bulls.. Declined both Bulls and Lakers first round, asked for more money at the Magic, second round pops up and bam $500vc thank you very much..

I did nothing special.. Just went in as a SF and was rated at 55.. No VC spent and didn't play one second of a game

Thanks again!

This is one of those solutions I hate just because of how good it is. +1. 55 overall gets a max contract after fouling out of everything, but my 95 overall Multi-MVP/Champion couldn't. Worked first try just the way you said, even after I increased the height to max when creating.

Tried twice, didn't work. Just if anyone goes for it, seems that it no longer works, guess because offline mode, maybe... Thanks for the solution anyway, but for anyone reading in 2020, beware.

Finally got it !!

I fouled out all my high school/college games.

I've been drafted by Lakers and upgraded myplayer to 88 GEN (max possible).
I played all 8 games on rookie/12 min QT and had a good stats (~30pts/7rbs/6ast average and ~25 minutes per game).

Get the Rookie of The Year distinction, 6th player OTY too. Named on 2nd All NBA Team and 1st All Rookie Team.

And when the FA comes, i've chosen Magic (100%), Lakers (51%) and another one that i don't remember lol.
Magic offers me 475VC (!!!) in first round ! I negociate more money for second round and hold on two others team. And BOOM, 500VC appears on second round and i accept immediatly the offer! :D

Cheevo popped!

Thanks again for your guide @TomMeGusta !

I got this going into my third year. It requires you to have a contract which pays 500 gold coins per game. You will be asked to pick 3 teams to negotiate with, try to pick the most interested teams, you can always request a trade later. If none offer 500 negotiate for more money, hopefully your performance in the previous year's will have warranted this (I won the mvp going into my contract year). If you simply cannot get them to pay you more I'd recommend signing the shortest contract and trying again the next season or two.

When you say third year, do you mean the third year of actual playing or are you counting the "story year" in?

The third year of my career, so the story year plus 2 more. I'm pretty sure, it's been awhile

I was a 87 OVR outside PG, and averaged 35/11/11/5/1 and won MVP, all the awards and everything. The team with the highest interest was only like a 70. I didn't win the championship, could that be why?

You can sim but the odds are that you won't be good enough to receive a max contract by simming. Maybe if you upgrade your player enough by purchasing VC or something. I can only speak from my experience which is that I played a pretty good amount of games and I did purchase VC so my player was pretty good even in simming. I also found if you play a game and do really well like score 40 or more points, your player will do much better in simming for awhile because he gets hot.

Here is the method I am using right now:

- First of all, finish the story and play throughout your NBA rookie year and go to the team that gives you the most play time.
- I brought up my rating up to 88 buying VC (you probably can do this by just playing the mobile app daily).
-I played a good amount of time until I got the All Star achievement and use every off day to get that Gym Rat achievement aswell.
-From then, I started playing like this: 12 minutes on rookie, I played until I got 15-20 points (took me about 4-5 minutes of the first quarter). With my attributes this was really easy. Then I would simulate the rest of the game. I always end up with +35 points +4reb +4 ast. This should be more than enough to secure the max deal in free agency.

--I am a SG with 93 mid shot and 3pt shot. Stats may change due to your attributes and position--

I simulated almost the entire second season (season yo go to the free agency) with my 90 overall SG having 43.3PPG with the Bucks (rookie and 12 mins quarters). I just played 4-5 games where I scored +70 pts each. I ended up winning MVP. After winning the Playoffs, I got a 470VC offer from the Cavs. I negotiated for more money and the gave me 500VC!

What was their interest %? Does it have to be 99%?

There is a way to get a trophy in an hour and a half of time and a bit of luck:

You start a new career, take yourself a small forward. At school and university, to speed up the process, make 5 intentional fouls and sit on the bench. You will be drafted with the 29th pick. In my case it was the Brooklyn Nets. You simulate all 8 games for them: game started -> pause -> simulate. After 8 games you will become a free agent and several teams will offer you contracts, one of them will be the Orlando Magic (they will have maximum interest), choose the other two with the highest percentage. There will be bidding next. On all three teams I selected the “negotiate” option, then “more money”. If Orlando offered you 450 coins per game on the first day, then with a probability of 99.9% by the third day of trading they will raise the bar to 500

You need to sign a maximum contract, for this you need to play well and preferably take the championship, after your contract ends, insist on signing the maximum.
