NBA 2K24 MyPLAYER Builder Tips & Tricks: The Ultimate Guide

by Fernando Diaz / Game Guides, NBA 2K24 / 01 Feb 2023

What’s good, 2K fam? If you’re looking to dominate the court with the sickest MyPLAYER in NBA 2K24, you’ve come to the right spot. This ain’t no basic guide; we’re going deep into the MyPLAYER Builder, breaking down everything you need to craft a certified baller. Let’s get it!!

Starting Out

Options Galore: When you first boot up the Builder, you’ll be hit with two choices: either create your player from scratch or use an NBA template. If you’re trying to jump in ASAP, those NBA templates are clutch. They’re like pre-made blueprints based on real NBA legends. But if you’re all about that personal touch, go custom.

Pro Tip: Using an NBA template and not tweaking it gifts you with that player’s signature animations off the jump. Dope, right??

Breaking Down the Basics

Height, Weight, Wingspan: These might seem like no-brainers, but they’re crucial. Want to be a monster in the paint? Maybe think about maximizing that wingspan. Trying to be the next Steph Curry?? You might want to keep an eye on that height…

Attributes: In 2K24, things have been turned up a notch. No more just checking attribute caps; now you see the max badge levels with your current stats. This change is fresh because it gives you a clearer picture of your player’s ceiling.

Pro Tip: Don’t sleep on the stamina stat this year. If you try to lowball it for other attributes, you’ll regret it when crunch time hits.

Badge Breakdown

The badge system’s been revamped. You can’t just throw on any badge anymore; you gotta meet certain thresholds. Here are some pointers:

Limitless Range: Want this on bronze? You’re going to need an 85 three-point rating. That’s wild considering it was silver level in 2K23.

Bailout: Think twice before you toss a risky pass. To make those look clean, you’re looking at needing an 87 pass accuracy.

Pro Tip: Pay attention to the “relevant badges” tab. It’ll show you badges related to the attribute you’re tweaking.

Physicals Are King

Strength ain’t just for show in 2K24. And it’s not just about big man moves in the paint either. Some badges, like Physical Handles and Immovable Enforcer, rely heavily on strength. And it’s not just strength; your speed, vert, and acceleration matter a ton too.

Pro Tip: Seriously consider your build’s strength if you’re looking at playing lockdown defense or cutting through defenses like butter.

Finding the Right Height

This year, your build’s height is more pivotal than ever, especially if you’re into playmaking:

6’2″ and 6’4″ builds: Great for those who want to be playmaking gods. 6’4″ is the max height for Hall of Fame Speed Booster.

6’6″ builds: The community’s loving these right now. They seem to be the sweet spot for all-around performance from playmaking to offense…

6’7″ and 6’8″ builds: These are for the players looking to dominate as wings. You might have to sacrifice some playmaking badges, but you’ll be a force in other areas.

Pro Tip: Remember it’s all about balance!! Don’t just max out height and neglect other stats.

The Quality of Life Upgrades

2K24 blessed us with some dope improvements. The biggest one? You can tweak your build without resetting all your stats. No more going back to square one every time you wanna change something minor…

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling indecisive, hit square on PlayStation (or X on Xbox) to start from scratch.

Alright ballers, that wraps up this deep dive into the MyPLAYER Builder for NBA 2K24. Remember the best player build is the one that vibes with YOUR playstyle. Take these tips, mix them with your own flavor, and let’s see you ball out on the court.
