Nation Labs

Nation Bucks per game

Nation Bucks (NB) are shown as VC inside the game. Each Park game you finish pays the same three lines 2K17 shows on its post-game screen, plus a finishing amount and a win bonus. 1v1 games pay half.

• Finishing

  25 NB for every game you finish and play in.

• Teammate grade

  5 NB for every grade point above 60. An A+ (97) is worth 185 NB. A grade of 60 or below adds nothing.

• Your stat line

  1 NB each for made field goals, made threes, made free throws, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, minus 1 NB per turnover. A made three counts twice: once as a field goal and once as a three.

• Winning

  50 NB on top for a win.

Park rep per game

• Grade

  4 rep for every grade point above 75, the formula in 2K17's own rep data. An A+ (97) is worth 88 rep.

• Winning

  +25 rep for a win.

• Never go backwards

  You never lose rep. If you played your part in a game, you get at least 10 rep even on a bad night.

• Unconfirmed games

  If the server can't fully confirm a game, it pays a flat 40 rep for a win or 15 for a loss, and no Nation Bucks.

• Tougher opponents

  Beating a higher-rep team pays more, up to 1.5x. Beating a lower-rep team pays less, down to 0.75x.

• Win streaks

  Each win in a row adds 10% more rep, up to 50% extra.

Park travel

• Every park is open

  Since October 14 there is no rep requirement to travel. Any player can visit Sunset Beach, Old Town and Rivet City, plus Ante Up, Park After Dark, Rival Day and House Rules when they run. Log in and fully restart 2K17 once to pick it up.

• Joining a friend

  Joining a friend from the friends list in another affiliation's park still needs Pro 3. That check is built into the game. Travel to the park instead, then find them there.

• Ante Up

  Ante Up only opens during its event window. Outside the window it stays closed even with travel open.
