MyPLAYER

For the first time in NBA 2K, we now have female MyPLAYER builds. All MyPLAYERs are built on the same exact framework. That means your height, weight, wingspan, and ratings are all determined by your build, not your appearance.

We've also launched the NBA 2K HQ app so you can make builds on the go, and you can even preview Cap Breakers on your 99 OVR builds without having to take them into The City.

Be sure to also check out the new badge token system, along with the new build specialization discipline, Physicals. Takeover Progression has also gotten a revamp.
