Best MyPlayer Builds
As I mentioned, badges play a big role this time around. Core badges come in various tiers, and the best ones land in tier 3. 2K Games has added 24 badges as part of the game’s new features. You can unlock badges by spending points on either Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Hall of Fame categories.
Once you have a tier 3 badge, add it to the Core Badge Slot and see the magic happen on the court. Now, let’s dive into the best builds for MyPlayer mode without further ado.
