NBA 2K23 has now been out for almost two months and players are always trying to find the best possible MyPlayer builds to use in the game. Each build offers a unique way to play the game through its attribute system. These player builds have been part of the NBA 2K franchise for a very long time, and it is no surprise why players enjoy using them. Every MyPlayer consists of different attributes such as the 3-point shooting ability or having a good defensive presence. Adjusting these several attributes and creating various combinations will form a certain build which will have its advantages and disadvantages. Players can mix and match several archetypes and fine-tune their in-game characters according to their preferred play style.
The best builds in the game are typically those that people use most frequently, and in this year's 2K, those would be: Playmaking Shot Creator, Inside-Out Shot Creator, and Paint Beast. These three archetypes are generally the most versatile and offer the best advantages in NBA 2K23. Players usually tend to want high play-making, 3-point shooting, and offensive stats, and these builds offer just that. Playmaking Shot Creators have attributes that allow their play-making, mid-range shooting, 3-point shooting, and ball control abilities to be very high. Inside-Out Shot Creators can utilize their high inside scoring and speed stats to outperform the Playmaking Shot Creators, while also having relatively balanced other stats. Paint Beasts are experts in having very high offensive and defensive stats, particularly concerning inside finishing and defending.
Customizing Player Attributes
In order to create these three great builds in NBA 2K23, players must adjust their attribute ratings in just the right way otherwise their desired build will reform into another one. Playmaking Shot Creators should be around 6'7", have an equivalent wingspan, and be a weight of under 200lbs. This build can access the Limitless Range and Pull-Up Precision takeovers. Inside-Out Shot Creators should be a bit shorter from 6'5" to 6'7", have a slightly longer wingspan, and weigh roughly around 200lbs. They can expect to unlock the Limitless Range and Finishing Moves takeovers. Finally, the Paint Beasts should be the tallest among the three being anywhere from 6'11" to 7'2", with an equivalent wingspan, and weighing around 240-260lbs. They receive the Paint Intimidation and See The Future takeovers.
Furthermore, the main attributes that Playmaking Shot Creators must have in NBA 2K23 are driving dunk, 3-point shot, and ball-handling. Their speed, acceleration, and stamina must be prioritized over their strength and vertical. Inside-Out Shot Creators must elevate their standing dunk, driving dunk, 3-point shot, and ball-handling attributes before all others. Much like their playmaker counterparts, their speed, acceleration, and stamina must be emphasized over their strength and vertical. Paint Beasts must raise their driving dunk, standing dunk, interior defense, block, and rebounding abilities before all else. Their physical traits must predominantly be their strength, vertical, and stamina.
Player builds are the basic archetypes that allow players to experiment with various play styles and get creative in their approach to the game. These archetypes can be further improved by continuously enhancing their attributes and earning badges by playing 2K23 and earning VC. Players also have the option to improve their player by purchasing VC directly from the in-game store and spending it to enhance attributes. There are plenty of builds to explore and this allows players to always have new opportunities to play NBA 2K23 uniquely.
