In the full version of the game, you can upgrade any of your skill attributes to the cap you set them at regardless of what your overall rating is (OVR 60-95). If you want to be a one dimensional 3PT specialist right off the bat, then max it out first, that’s your choice #NBA2K20

Below are the archetype combos that can hit 86 and 90 Ball Control. High-quality dribblers allowed to hit elite packages. Keep in mind this is DEFAULT wingspan only. If you lengthen the wingspan, you'll risk falling off the chart. If you shorten, you'll be fine #NBA2K19

Hot Zones are places on the court you've earned (for shooting well) that give you shooting boosts. In #nba2K19, Hot Zones are unique to each MyCareer mode. NBA, Park, Pro-Am, etc will not carry zones between one another. Prove yourself in each to earn zones

Seeing a lot of players ducking experienced and high record opponents in the park so we’re giving a big bump to MyPoints for “Opponent Strength” tomorrow AM. Tougher opponent = more MP. Also affects Pro-Am, Walk-On #NBA2K19

Constant goal is to balance MyCareer modes in terms of progressing to 99. We don't want people to feel obligated to play one mode vs. another to keep pace. Expect an update soon that will bring NBA game "MyPoints" back to normal, but also give a much bigger boost to park / pro-am

Added triple threat “style” packages to #NBA2K19. Packages come with the stance, regular jab, quick jab, stepover and trip pump fake. Cool way to differentiate players pre-attack

Data from your games arrived & its made it clear how badge progression is going. Expectations were set for ship & its evident we overshot at times. Harder to hit badges suffered most but others as well. Todays update (in combo w/ late last week) hits the following issues #NBA2K24

Gym Rat is gone. The "under the hood" attribute boosts earned in the gym are as well. You work on certain badges now in the gym. Perfect workouts still give you the extra turbo boost for the week, and the turbo boost can be earned permanently later on. #NBA2K24

MyCareer Hot Zones are earned separately in each game mode. They require a certain amount of shots in each zone & a certain shot % before they turn on. They only look at your last 25 games (shots before that don't count). You can find your Hot Zones in your player card #NBA2K20

Archetype to see the biggest bump in attributes is the Glass Cleaner, where he's no longer super one-dimensional (more defense, shooting and athleticism). Biggest jump in badges = Post Scorer, with a much improved mid-range game (Difficult Shots, Tear Dropper, etc) #NBA2K19

Cap Breakers dont allow u to surpass max caps that your size settings allows u to have in the builder. A 6'9" player w/ min wing can get up to 87 three ball in the builder. You cant take this to an 88+ w/ Cap Breakers. But if u build to an 82, CBs will allow you to raise to an 87

When playing NBA, park and pro-am games in MyCareer, there are huge progression bonuses for winning and being a good teammate. Those bonuses are modified by who you are playing against (all modes) and what difficulty you're playing on (NBA only) #NBA2K19

With the patch, a new multiplier was added to badge progression for City/REC games. It looks at usage rate & is meant to help users who are not dominating the ball. Helps when playing w/ shot hungry randoms or friends where you're just playing a non shot heavy offensive role

You won't be doing any annoying celebrations after made/missed shots unless you fire the celebration off yourself in MyCareer. Also, we loosened the rules for when u can celebrate, such that u can do short 2-3 second emotes during play (slap floor, clap @ opponent, etc) #NBA2K19

Many badges have gone through some much-needed adjustments. Most notable: the Deadeyes (fire off more often), Ankle Breaker & Limitless Range (not quite as powerful), Defensive Stopper (stronger) #NBA2K19

Something not mentioned. If you apply Cap Breakers and your archetype name wants to change, you're given the option of doing so. You can keep your current, or grab the new. The cool part about the new ones is they may end up being names that just aren't possible in the builder.

"Special unlocks" transfer between saves regardless of Rebirth, and regardless of being new or old saves. Earn something new on save 2 that wasn't on save 1? Save 1 will now have it.
Things like Mamba Mentality, Perks, Perf Mults, On Court Coach, MyPoints Accel., etc #NBA2K24

When you earn Cap Breakers, you can use them on every new and old save you have. They're not tied down by how you've used them in the past. You can use 5 of them on 3pt shooting on save 1, and you can use those same 5 on perimeter defense on save 2 (for example). #NBA2K25

A key thing for the dribbling build-makers to remember. Acceleration is gone. Agility is in. However, Agility is off-ball movement only. If you want speed, quickness, and moves WITH the ball, it’s all in the Speed With Ball and Ball Handle attributes. #NBA2K25

Alpha Dog: Gives user a 5 point attribute boost to several attributes (shooting, rebounding, etc) when a teammate on the court is cold. Basically looks to step up and fill the gap #NBA2K19

Watching some of these streams it's easy to see who built their player with only scoring on their mind. Getting torched defensively and forcing their teammates to lean left and right to catch passes. It's fine if you got friends willing to deal with it I suppose😂

No visual for u yet, but the Attributes menu has two nice additions:
- A "badge glossary" u can scroll through to see attribute requirements
- As you fill up attributes, a notification appears to let u know which badges u now qualify for
No more menu jumping necessary #NBA2K24

In comparison with 2K18, there is more of a difference in MyCareer between a PG & SG as well as a PF & C when it comes to badges in #NBA2K19. Each position stands out on it's own, SGs and PFs more desirable than before

A few key notes that didn't make the report:
- Badge grind is pretty quick for badges you use frequently
- Teammate Grade and Wins/Losses have a big impact on badge progression
- Rebirth sets your badges at Silver immediately

Added some pretty dope looking moving layup/dunk fakes. Let off the left stick and tap shoot when driving to the rim OR start a layup/dunk and (very) quickly bail. You won’t be committed to a shot, you’ll instead fake the layup/dunk. Get em jumpin #NBA2K19

You will be see some vids/comments today about 5'9" PGs being super powerful in the builder. The community build had older tuning & the 5'9s have been pulled back a bit. Still very good. Keep that in mind if you're currently dreaming of being the 2nd coming of 17 Isaiah Thomas.

Loving the variety of builds being made out there. All sorts of size combinations, positions, and skills. Saw a 6’4 post-playing tank last night and he was killin. Some KD builds. Pro-Tuned. Even 5’9s. The creativity is never lacking from this community. #NBA2K25

In MyCAREER, you'll start with Bronze badges. If you have Rebirth, you'll start with Silver. In both cases, you will need to meet attribute requirements to use the badge #NBA2K25

Defensive Leader replaces Def Anchor. New name bc Anchor felt "bigman-like". Any position can equip DL (if def build). Boosts teammates def abilities while on floor. At Hall of Fame only, allows DL to see potential shot %s of opponents where they stand, PRIOR to shooting

Alpha Dog (was meant to be hard, but definitely harder for guards), Bruiser, Deadeyes, Tireless Scorer, Pick Pocket, Posterizer and Charge Card seem to be leading the responses. We'll look further into them and others. Thank you everyone

You can still dunk on someone without these packages. Posterizers will still catch bodies. The packages just make you stand out, 2KTV worthy 😤

In #NBA2K19, when you do a shot fake (from post for example) and you’re holding LT/L2 when it ends, you’ll go in to post without turning your facing from the end of the fake. This allows for quicker shots and moves out of the fake. Big fan of this addition to post play

Biggest hits are to open and off-dribble outside shooting, as you probably expected. If you care about shooting you'll care a lot about your wingspan.

If a badge has a requirement that you can hit when you reach 95+ overall (i.e. when you get +1 to +4 to your attributes at 96, 97, 98, 99) then yes, you can unlock and equip that badge once your each that overall. If your overall dips, you don't lose the badge

I've seen a few tweets about whether or not attributes are still tied to one another in the builder. Yes, they are. Not much has changed in that realm since 2K23, except that we put more work in to make it visually obvious when changes to other attributes are happening #NBA2k24
