Lead the next great dynasty in NBA 2K25 with the new MyPLAYER Builder and MyCAREER mode for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
2K has revealed new upgrades to MyPLAYER Builder and MyCAREER modes in NBA 2K25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
With more customization options in the MyPLAYER Builder, a brand new Unleashed system, and improved sign-off capabilities, players can create their ideal MyPLAYER and write their name into the history books in an all-new MyCAREER mode.
These new changes and features ensure that there is more than one way to play, whether a player is playing for the first time, has played the game before, or is a veteran at the game: there is something for everyone.
“My PLAYER is the beginning of every journey and in NBA2K25 “We’ve given players more opportunities to shape their leg acy in a tailored and authentic way as they chase victory,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts.
“We designed the MyPLAYER Builder to accommodate the diverse playstyles and strategic preferences of players of all skill levels. MyPLAYER is the beginning of the journey, and we want players to shape their legacy in a tailored and authentic way as they strive for greatness.”
MyPLAYER and MyCAREER have a variety of new features and improvements this year, including:
- My PLAYER Builder: The NBA 2K25 MyPLAYER Builder caters to a wide range of playstyles and strategic preferences with a variety of new possible archetypes. NBA 2K25 provides access to more information about a player’s builds than ever before. With the ability to preview all of the assets a build qualifies for, including badges, Unleashed abilities in the new Unleashed system and signature animations, as well as customization options like jumpshots and dunk packages, players can dig even deeper. Additionally, players can utilize the Build Tester and participate in 3v3, 5v5, or the new Freestyle Training option to preview and tinker with their new build.
- A brand new Unleashed system: NBA 2K25 introduces a brand new Unleashed system, with 72 Unleashed modes and 14 Unleashed abilities. Each Unleashed targets different attributes and has 5 levels, from Level 1 when a player is just warming up to Level 5 when a player is really on fire. The better the player performs on the court, the more the Unleashed meter fills up, gradually improving the corresponding attributes. Once a player reaches Level 5, an Unleashed ability activates. If a player uses it effectively, it can make him or her the most dominant player on the court.
- Improved badges: Badges in NBA 2K25 are more meaningful and comprehensive than ever before. The list has been refined to 40 badges, and each one now feels equally valuable and desirable. MYPLAYER badges progress based on how often they are activated in games – the more a player uses the badges, the faster he or she will level up. NBA2K25 will introduce a new tier of plaques higher than the Hall of Fame called Legends. Also new this year are plaque boosters, which give individual plaques a permanent boost, and attribute cap breakers, which allow attribute moves to be boosted beyond the maximum potential limit (or cap) set in the builder. Plaque perks and power multipliers will also receive updated perks.
- Heart of a dynasty: MyCAREER in NBA 2K25 is all about creating the greatest dynasty in NBA history. Competing against the best dynasties in NBA history, players will fight to make the playoffs and win championships to climb the Dynasty Rankings and place their legacy above the best. Before they win it all, a player can play a flashback story and experience their MyPLAYER’s journey in the NBA from high school to the FIBA Games called Heart of Dynasty. Finally, Key Plays are back and have been enhanced to give players more choice and control over how they progress in their MyPLAYER’s career.
