Best Badges Of course, not every badge is going to be useful for every build. Some big men might not care if they’re intercepting balls on the perimeter frequently. Slashers won’t have any need to improve their three-point shooting. But there are still certain badges to at least consider for each build. Take a look here and make sure that the MyPlayer is equipped to get the most necessary badges for whatever role is being played. Best Shooting Badges Best Finishing Badges Best Playmaking Badges Best Defense/Rebounding Badges
Joining A Team Just as important as the player builds, joining the right team is going to be critical to having a good or bad career. Good luck ever seeing the floor when playing as a point guard for the Warriors. Some teams are just one crucial piece of the puzzle short of winning a title. With some talent and the right situation, players can win the Finals in their very first year with these teams.

MyPlayer Builds Asking for the best build is a tall order. Think of the number of ways players can score alone: Post moves, ankle breakers, three-point bombs, mid-range drops, dunks, slashes, etc. Good luck trying to choose one or more of these styles. Thankfully, there is room for every build at every position depending on the team situation. These guides are here to help players get an idea of what the ideal build depending on their individual wants and needs.

My Career Tips New and returning players will be introduced to a new city, new story, new NBA landscape, and new things to do. Call it a coat of paint, but there are so many new events that returning players in MyCareer are often not much better off than the rookies trying the mode out for the first time. Take a deep breath and get ready for a wild ride. Instead of making several useless players until one finally works, get some points beforehand that will get even the most amateur gamer on a Hall of Fame Path. Beginner Tips
Ideal Animations With so much emphasis on teams, attributes, and badges, animations can feel like an afterthought. In truth, a great shooting animation matters as much or more (depending on the situation) than simply getting the numbers right. Playmakers looking for absurd dribble skills, shooters crafting the ideal custom shot, or dunkers putting together an ill jam to get the crowd bumping, they’ll all find what they need right here.
