Looking at your My Player, you may look at the poor “physical” stats you start out with and wonder how to increase them. This includes your raw physical abilities: speed, acceleration, strength, vertical, and endurance. There are several ways to increase these stats and in this guide we will explain how to increase Speed, Acceleration, Strength, Vertical and Stamina in NBA 2K21 My Career / My Player.
Upgrade your player, improve attributes and increase your level cap
To improve your speed, acceleration, strength, verticality and endurance, you need to buy attribute points with VC and you need to collect my points to improve your attribute limit and get more available upgrades. As you increase your cap and purchase new upgrades, you will naturally increase these five physical traits.
The easiest way to do this is to buy VC, obviously. Since you are limited to a certain number of upgrades until you lift the cap, you will eventually find yourself in a situation where you don't have enough VC to complete all of the upgrades. If you grind My Career, the best way to earn VC is to play your games and practice.
Gatorade Boosts and Workout Center Workout Boosts
At any time, you can get a quick upgrade to these physical stats by heading to the Gatorade Training Center. Every week, you can improve your physical qualities by doing the training exercises in this game. To get to the Gatorade Training Center, simply head to the neighborhood and look for the Gatorade logo. Head inside this building and you can do a bunch of different mini-games.
