How to unlock the Off We Go achievement in NBA 2K17: The Prelude - Definitive Guide

EDIT: This is kind of missable as if you don't get enough points to buy an attribute you can then only get points by buying them with cash or using the app on Android/IOS to get some points. (Thanks Dream Fiend).

In your first game make sure to play well, pass and assist, play tight defence on your man, and don't try for 3 pointers and you should get a decent enough rating. Best to buy after the first game as you can lose points after that. (Thanks Enter gamertag).

After you've played your first game you can go into the 2K Store at the main menu. You will have received some points for playing your first game. (I got 500).

Go into MyPlayer - Attribute Upgrades. There will be various upgrades and depending on the type of player you chose will cost anything between 150-500. Choose one of these by pressing up on the category - add to cart with cn_A, Open Cart with cn_Y and checkout with cn_A.

Also if the servers are being dodgy you can use my player inventory - NBA/PRO-AM ANIMATIONS - NBA RITUALS - Press X to open 2K SPORTS STORE, is an option in the lower left corner, thats how I got into the store and bought the upgrade with points won. (Thanks xSTAGGERxLEEx).

How did you make that? I kept getting D- grade and negative points rewards, and I've finished the USA game so there are no games playable. All I have is 53 points. wth

Only letting you play each game once sucks balls. I got 1 point to spend. No idea what the controls are either. Not found anywhere to get this information. I'll hope to get what I can from the game then delete it.

Fouled my way through matches, and used "Sim to End" on USA match, ended up with 1 point to spend. Had to spend $2 real money to unlock this achievement.

I finished the USA game. And now this isn't available for me to purchase the upgrade. Wtf?! Got 208 VC somehow even though I barely touched the ball.

Edit. Don't choose My Player Inventory. Need to go to the 2K Store first before you follow the guide. 1000g thankfully.

When first starting up the game, they ask you to create a 2K account. I was having crashing issues until I opened up the email they sent me and confirmed my account. After that no issues and managed to get the achievement.

DO NOT SPEND REAL MONEY TO GET THIS ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!

Download the mobile app for the game (MyNBA2K17) and you can get daily VC for free. The first day allotment will be enough to obtain this achievement. 100% free.

I downloaded this app on android not sure if it is available for iOS/WP or not.

Yes, but I found after the first match (the friendly where you can't even foul) I had 500 coins. From match 2 onwards I was loosing coins by ending on D ratings so make sure you buy the attribute after first game

Loaded up the app as I loaded the game, won 550 in the app and then won 500 first game. I passed a bunch didn't miss a shot, bunch of steals and shutout the other team. Now I can breeze through the rest of the game! dance

With regards to the app, do you have to start the game on your console before you can link the app to your account? I had a look at the app (not started the game yet) and looked like I needed to sign in on console first. Can anyone confirm this please?

I logged in with the app during my first game on Xbox, after the game I had over 1000 VC just from claiming the daily reward and playing through the first game to the best of my ability. Never played an NBA game before (and don't really intend to again) so if you want to use the app for safety it's pretty simple, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Yes. The fact it needs to be online ALL the time is very annoying. Sometimes when you start the game you get all sorts of network errors, sometimes even in-game which ends the game in an instant. Reset does the trick indeed.

I played the 1st of the 5 games well then fouled out on the next 3 tehn played well in the 5th and had over 500 coins for an upgrade. No purchase needed and still fouled out on 3 of the 5 games. The games are so short and it's not that boring just playing. I had no problem purchasing upgrades.

Pretty sure the app has been delisted from Google PlayStore. You can download from Amazon app store or online as an .APK file but can't seem to get passed the fetching downloads screen

Worked perfectly using the MyNBA 2k17 app via Amazon App Store. https://www.amazon.de/2K-Games-MyNBA2K17/dp/B01LE3NARG/
You actually get 500 points right away using the daily earnings.
Thanks!

Guess that doesn't work on IOS M0rgy93, only seen an Android version.

So yeah, the IOS app is gone for good. I'll just try to play a Sports game then, no idea how that's gonna go...was planning on fouling out.

Anyone else have problems downloading the App? I can't download if for some reason (error code 924)... I also played my first game and actually tried, they gave me no points even though I made some good passes and hoops (3 pointer included..)

Edit: restarted my phone and tried it again and it installed

Download the app, log in with your account, do quick games if you are not a regular basketball player. I did really lousy with D- ranks and all at my team, so I did not get any coins to spend (Yes, I got about 40 or so)
By playing quick games on your app, you can get up to 10 games. Winning a quick game gets you up to 50 points per won game. The cheapest upgrade is found in "playmaking". It costs only 150 points to get. So win 3 quick games, and get that upgrade and that's it.

Same thing is happening to me but I'm also getting a message that there's a problem connecting to 2K so their servers might be having issues right now.

Also, it does tell you before you start playing the games that you only get to play each game once so make it count.

If you are same poor sports game player like me you can end up career without geting enough gold to purchase stat upgrade and bonus animation you can aid yourself with MyNBA2k17 mobile app (Android or iPhone version) to get lurge bunch of free gold.

And if you don't own either of theese phones, like me, you can use free Android emulator - MEmu, then link your google account, download app and login using your Xbox Live gamertag. Worked like charm for me.

Couldn’t find the app, they only have MyNBA2k18 so they might have gotten rid of the older version.

After you finish your first game, you will have earned some Virtual Currency. You can use this to upgrade an attribute by browsing to 'Main Menu > 2K Store > MyPLAYER > MyPLAYER - Attribute Upgrades'. From here select any attribute and add one attribute to it. This will show you the cost on the right. If you have only played 1 game then you most likely can only buy one upgrade.

When you decide on the attribute you want, add it and press cn_X to add it to cart. Now press cn_T to open the cart and confirm the purchase. This will unlock the trophy.

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE
 
Despite being missable, this is very difficult to miss if you're focusing on this trophy. During each game (aside from the first inter-squad game), you'll receive coins based on your performance. You'll get one or two coins for every point, assist, rebound, etc. You'll also lose a coin for each time you foul. Most of the coins you get will come from your performance grade. This grade can be seen in the top right of your screen. For example, if you finish with a B- grade, you'll earn 125 coins plus any additional coins you get for points and whatnot.
 
150 coins should be enough to earn this trophy. Once you have enough, go to the 2K Store in the main menu. Select MyPlayer and then MyPlayer-Attribute Upgrade. Find a stat you can upgrade for a cost of 150 coins. I was a Center who was a Post Scorer. My Playmaking stat cost 150 to upgrade.
 
If by chance you can't amass enough coins, you have two options: (1) You can buy coins for real money ($2 in NA) or (2) you can download the MyNBA2K17 app for your device of choice. Through there, you'll be able to continue amassing coins. However, not everyone wants to spend real life money nor has a device the app is compatible with, so that is why this trophy is technically missable. It's easier to just be cautious. I had enough coins to upgrade after the third game (second game you're graded on).
 
If you lock yourself out of MyCareer (this can happen by deleting your save or the game itself) or you simply don't have the means to earn more coins, download the game from another region. You should be able to start MyCareer over and, thus, more opportunities to earn coins. Credit to Mazdafreak.

Go to myPlayer Inventory, select anything until the option to go to 2k Sports Store comes up, and then hit . Go to MyPlayer, then to MyPlayer Attribute Upgrade, and increase any stat there (such as Shooting off dribble) by one.

Press to add to the cart, to open cart, to checkout, and to confirm. The achievement will unlock shortly after confirming the purchase.
