NBA 2K25 Best Build Tips CAP BREAKERS Guide

[@flockaveli15]

They need to either change elevators or straight up give us something else for level 40 rewards. Because elevators are just a lame way to push people to make builds because that’s pretty much the only time they’ll ever be useful to u

I had all my badges maxed out by time i hit 40. what a let down

[@theangelispro]

Totally agreed, we should petition for it to be changed. I do not mind if it acts like a max +1 for either two badges or one +2 would be interesting to let people make more dynamic builds not the nonsense we currently have.

[@jaydenhogan507]

Call it a dumb idea or whatever I don’t care but badge elevators should’ve been the tier 40 reward every other season and it should’ve acted as a permanent max +2 or 3. Instead it’s just a tool to make rebirth grind easier

thats how it is, 2k wants us to spend money for rebirth so you immediately gain levels without grinding for badges. What a shame.

I honestly thought that Badge Elevators was the Max+1 Badge Perk and I made my build around it, only to find out that badge elevators are exactly like floor setters from 2k24. Lvl 40 Reward needs to be ‘Max+1 Badge Elevator’ that’s what it should’ve been, I’ve only got one build with badges maxed only Lvl 30 and Badge Elevators are pointless for me unless I make another build which is what 2K wants. Lowkey sucks that we gotta hit Lvl 30 every season to use the best thing in the game instead of earning it permanently.

[@MrChef2def]

Can you use cap breakers on more than one build? In game it says you can only redeem once per account.

So basically say your build has an 83 3pt at max right now as u play but in the builder with your same exact build (height, weight, wingspan) your max 3pt is 88 but you decided only to put to 83 3pt u can use a cap breaker to push your 83 to 88

probably depends on how you make your build, idk if you can find online but if not you could go back and forth with a couple of your highest number attributes when you barely have points left when making a build and see which one frees up more points for your low ranking attributes when you knock it down from 99 to 94 compared to a different 99 to 94 and then you'll find out which is more expensive
