First mistake yall make. Making builds you see from your favorite YouTuber that DONT fit your play style

[BeingTimIRL]

Being able to test out animations is going to be nice

[SkylarP]

Best parts is being able to test animations, sucked making a build in 24 and testing it with default sigs

The fact that we're talking about "builds cost a lot of money" shows how insane the micro transactions have become. It's just an accepted part of the game that you have to spend a couple hundred on a build when you already spent almost a hundred on the GAME.

Yeah, the terrible center builds are more common than you think. It’s like people don’t have any vision whatsoever then miss every single threshold. Builds are too expensive to just smoke it.

Gonna take my time making my build. I’m not wasting a couple hundred dollars for them to patch a bunch of stuff in the first couple of days

[Suqmeloser]

Ronnie got youtubers around his finger when he allowed them to make videos off him. Pretending they aren't going to be caught in 4k saying how bad the game is live on streams.

Lowest risk build is the one I make every single year. All around sf that can play the 4. Usually 6’8 but this year I may go 6’9 that can do it all. Not looking for hof badges at anything. Silver and gold on most things unless I can push for a few finishing badges on gold or defensive. I play rec and my career more than anything and I’m a versatile player so I gotta be able to do it all

[rickgrimes]

I haven’t played 2K since 20 so this really helped me out! There’s a lot of new things and this looks like it has way more depth than 20! Thanks for the tips

I personally think they will unlock cap breakers at starter 1, vet 1, legend 1. 3 sets of 5. Just my opinion.

[siniister]

My fav build I made last year was a 7 foot dunker/defender with 95 pass accuracy. I don’t do the dribble god shit in Rec and shit, I like to play team ball so for me getting like 12/25/12/5 felt so great to be able to do consistently.

Another thing to add is that it maybe best to wait to put VC into a build until the second patch(not the day1 patch) to put VC into it. Most of us have been burned by 2k because they patch certain attributes that then won't be as effective as originally thought, especially as a defender. Smh. 2k probably does this on purpose to have ppl spend more money 😮‍💨😔😔 It's extremely fatiguing going through that every year to say the least

[vonteboyyy]

Mann idk I’m probably going to make a dummy build and wait a week until I figure out the best animation and stuff

[denzeltron]

No matter the build, make sure to ALWAYS have good defensive capabilities with attributes and badges.

[jordanashley]

The only thing I think is misleading is (I could be wrong) I think the badge +1 is only gonna be a season reward if I heard them right. So people are only gonna get those for a season.

[SouljaBoysFather]

Being a decent 2k player with 80+ w% in every game mode every year, I’ve made a bad first build every year since 17 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[locoballer]

Great advice at the end Joe!! Build vids are a good indication off builds, but you need to finetune it yourself! 🔥

[Xhotic]

Hmmmm considering "Cap Breakers" im pretty sure they explicitly worded it on their website to say "increase their max POTENTIAL caps set at build creation"....aka meaning the opposite of what you said, they in fact CAN GO ABOVE YOUR MAX POTENTIAL, atleast thats how they are specifically wording it in this post below...

like if I max my 3 at a 94, i should be able to increase it to a 99 with Cap Breakers! Otherwise barely anyone would have a "Legend" badge cause most legend badges are like 97+ attributes, which would only be pheasable on a good build if Cap Breakers work how I and many others think they will, which is allow players to go BEYOND their POTENTIAL caps from build creation


"We saw community feedback that players wanted a way to not only increase attribute ratings above their max potential 'caps' set at build creation, but also have those ratings contribute towards Animation, Badge, and Takeover attribute requirements. That's exactly what Cap Breakers do."

As someone who hasn’t touched a 2K game in over a decade and wanted to jump back in, it’s wild to see a community willing to shell out hundreds of dollars every year for a game because the natural progression is unbearably slow for casual players. Stop letting these companies rip you off—it’s crazy to me! It’s already a full priced game.

[IKenFolKI]

Y’all really need to listen to 9 and 10. Great advice.
