MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN MAKING BUILDS IN NBA 2K25!

[@prettyboydarius_24]

This is why, as a guard (6’4 in 2k24) if I knew I couldn’t grab the rebound I’d run to go box out one of my opponents who’re more likely to contest my teammates who can grab it

[@ImTheGibby]

PRO-TIP FOR MONTH 1 OF 2K: JUST MAKE A POPPER OR LOCK (Unless you run point then make a decently sized guard that can ball handle and run an offense) UNTIL YOU LEARN THE BUILDER AND HOW THE GAME PLAYS

Definitely one of the best tips just sucks being limited

man you outdid yourself with all these builder tips this year. I see you.

[@synatra719]

This BS. Why do they always do this with Driving dunk? Why do you not have to have a 99 ball handle for the best dribble sigs or a 99 3/middy for the best jump shots? Every year the contact dunk requirements are higher than the dribble sig requirements and everybody wants to dribble. I rarely come across pure slashers and I’m a pure slasher. Slashers always get punished, but 3 points is worth more than 2, and I don’t understand.

[@GuccixTheReaper]

Contact dunks are broken if u can really play and use the meter Last yr pro 6’6 build was all 90+ driving 92 3 ball 92 ball handle 45 block to guard back doors ur good by the end of 2k25 ppl will figure out the broken stuff

[@KingInTraining]

It may be unfair for you but if you’re really good with the meter and know how to trigger contacts it can ruin the balance. I know my 96 dunk high flyer was unstoppable on 24, I could shoot lights out and it forced dudes to play up on me and as soon as I had them on my hip it was nasty contacts 10 times out of 10

[@synatra719]

@@KingInTraining that’s not the point. I’m talking about the animation gate. Elite contacts are just animations. The animations shouldn’t be so costly.

I'm not sure if this was confirmed but when it comes to the cap breakers how you said its 15 for the year. Like lets say you used 6 cap breakers on a guard build but then later on you made a Center build. Can you use those 6 cap breakers you unlocked on the new build you made or are you cooked and only have 9 left to use for him?

[@AstroDaDad]

You unlock them all for every build. If you have 10 cap breakers and use 6 .. when you make your next build, It has access to all 10

If you go min vert, stop crying about not dunking over people... if you're making a slasher build, go high vert. High vert also helps rebounds and chase downs.

Are you making this build to use or just showing him or are you goin inside only?

I hope they do interior defense rating justice this year and leave it alone. The last few 2ks they've patched it and made it worse

Thanks my man 💪🏼

[@mylesmonroe9951]

You gonna drop a pure inside center build? Not the point center but someone whose role is literally just pick and slip.

[@LakerFan]

Seems dumb to me. To have no ability besides dunking and screening when ball handle and speed with ball are so cheap. Why put the driving dunk and standing dunk, and all the same ratings, just to get like 1 level higher of paint patroller at the expense of being able to create. But if it’s truly what you’re looking for, that’s probably your example, is taking it off and getting another interior D badge level

[@zotsu.]

About the build we all know how the game gonna be with steals like last 4 years the first 3 to 2 months made a lot of guards quit because they can dribble at all without losing the ball and then nerf it and make the guards better and at the end of the game they tune it to be the same and it’s only gonna depend on your skill

People making these builds haven’t read the damn speed stat. Speed doesn’t affect how fast you are with the ball this year.

Nah but affects how fast you can leak out on the break. Which is pivotal for comp level games. But I actually agree with you I think 80-85 speed max on PGs imo
