![]() ![]() ![]() Depending on the chart you select and the type of player you’re crafting, you’ll see how the variation in maximum attributes changes. You ultimately have a number of pie charts, which break down attributes across Finishing, Shooting, Playmaking, Defense/Rebounding. For a deeper understanding of it, our Kobe Bryant Build guide shows how the creation works in theory. This area is something that comes over from NBA 2K21 with additional options this time around. Defense is key here in my opinion, because the offense will come naturally given you’re so close to the basket and should have the physical strength to score. Rebound, block, defend, and score in the post. Ultimately, you want to have the speed and agility to get good positioning, whilst also being strong in shooting off the dribble and off-ball movement.Ĭentre and Power Forward positions are as you’d expect: beastly. The Shooting Guard and Small Forward positions are I feel are the toughest in the game although I’m sure many will argue otherwise: they require a lot of off-ball movement and screens, so I feel there’s more focus on the fundamentals of basketball with these positions, especially without the ball. Point Guards and Shooting Guards have high playmaking potential, so you want to prioritise skill sets that ultimately fit these attributes. If you want to be a point guard, don’t expect the game to hand you rebounding on a silver platter, so don’t bother trying to shape a player around that. What I mean by that is, have a real think about the type of player you want to be, and then embrace the resources and skills presented to you to reach it. Now the follow is much easier said than done, but I feel it is genuinely the lynchpin of perfecting player creation: mould a player that both suits your own play style, whilst also embracing the design and gameplay philosophies of NBA 2K21. As an example, if you net a Ball Handling attribute, any additional point spent in this area will ultimately contribute to a higher rate of Playmaker badges. The game also does a fantastic job of highlighting skills and areas that your player is going to excel at, highlighting the highest number of badges available for that player type. As an example, a PG is going to have a higher passing ceiling than a C would, and a C is going to have a higher rebounding ceiling than a PG, etc etc. Balance relative to the position.Įach position in NBA 2K21 has pre-defined builds available, and these ultimately determine which attributes will receive the high peak skill number. But they should be evenly spaced and skilled across passing, if that makes sense. That’s not to say a PG needs to be evenly skilled across rebounding and passing. The approach in NBA 2K21 is no different to other years: create as well-rounded and as balanced a player as possible, relatively to your chosen position. Ideally, you want a player that suits your play style, regardless of who the player represents or mimics. The key here is ultimately to embrace trial and error, because it’s unlikely that you’ll create a Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan build straight up (although I can guide you through the Kobe Bryant build here). In reality, the perfection, quality and progression of the player you create is down to your own commitment and patience into growing their skillset. It’s so easy to get caught up on what the system offers that you could find yourself going around in circles trying to build the perfect player. I say this every year and nothing changes with NBA 2K21: don’t overthinking the My Player Builder. With that said, let’s take a look at the new My Player Builder, and run through some important tips to help you build the optimal player. With additional expansions and refinements to the badge, takeover attributes and overall crafting mechanisms, NBA 2K21 stands to offer the best player creation suite yet. Will you help them grow, prosper and thrive in the NBA, or will they crash and burn, never to truly reach their potential? It’s ultimately up to you and that’s part of what makes My Career and the My Player Builder so great. The opportunity is here to build your dream player from the ground up. And with the My Player Builder in NBA 2K21 comes yet another expansion of the mode, with even higher standards set after last year’s fantastic offering.
