With every new NBA 2K game’s release, one of the most exciting things every player looks forward to is creating new MyCareer builds and the same is the case with NBA 2K20.
However, without having proper knowledge and understanding of what Physique, Stats and Archetype you should choose, coupled with the fact that NBA 2K’s build system is altered almost every year, it can be difficult to create the best build you can.
NBA 2K20 allows you to select your build from some given presets, but it is much better to make your own.
There have been many changes to the mode and although the core mechanics might be the same, it definitely helps to know what Physique, Archetype, and stats you should be using for your builds.
Our MyCareer Builds Guide takes into account all of the new changes in this year’s iteration of the game and gives you tips and tricks to get the right player in the game.
In this NBA 2K20 MyCareer Builds Guide, we’ll walk you through all the different stats you need to choose to build the right player, for each of the different positions in the game.
NBA 2K20 MyCareer Builds
As you might already know, when creating a build, you need to keep in mind what role you want your character to play on the court.
For this, you must carefully pick their height, weight, wingspan, attributes, skills, and badges in accordance with their position. Don’t worry, though. We have already delicately selected all the above stats for you, for each of the positions.
Best Point Guard Builds
The following are 3 builds I believe will help you create the strongest archetypes for this particular position. A Point Guard is essentially the player who directs the team’s offense, therefore you need builds that will help you complete your duties as a Point Guard.
- Build 1 (Offensive Threat):
Skill Breakdown: For this particular build, as you’ll need to lead the charge, select the pie chart that displays the most Shooting and Playmaking stats, greater than Finishing and Defense.
Physical Profile: As you’ll need to be in the front, having a Physical Profile that emphasizes agility over strength and Verticality will be the most beneficial. This will help you get past defenders more easily.
Attributes/Potential:
- Finishing:
- Driving Layup: 77
- Driving Dunk: 69
- Close Shot: 85
- Shooting:
- Mid-Range Shot: 84
- 3 Point Shot: 84
- Free Throw: 90
- Post Fade: 86
- Playmaking:
- Post Control: 77
- Ball Handling: 88
- Pass Accuracy: 88
- Defense:
- Perimeter Defense: 73
- Lateral Quickness: 75
- Steal: 75
- Block: 38
- Interior Defense: 34
Physical Properties:
Body Shape, for pretty much any build, is irrelevant. It does not affect your stats in the slightest bit. Therefore, you can go with whatever you want: Compact, Burly, whatever you want is perfectly viable for every archetype and build
- Height: 6’3’’ – The perfect height for this build.
- Weight: This one is actually irrelevant to this build. By having a skinnier player, you’ll slightly reduce your interior defense but increase lateral quickness; vice versa, having a bulkier player will increase your defense but reduce lateral quickness. Decide for yourself which you want to forego. You can, however, go for the middle road and choose something like 175 lbs. for your character.
- Wingspan: 0’’ – The reason it’s better to have shorter arms is because it increases ball handling further, something that plays into your strengths (your skill breakdown favors Playmaking and Shooting).
Takeover:
Of the choices you’ll have, I recommend either going for Shot up Shooter – allows you to hit from deep in catch and shoot situations – or Shot Creator – More effective at shooting off the dribble and can more easily shake off defenders.

- Corner Specialist (Silver)
- Deadeye (Hall of Fame)

- Build 2 (God Build):
Skill Breakdown: For this particular build, I recommend picking the pie chart that, like the previous build, emphasizes Playmaking and Shooting over Finishing and Defense!
Physical Profile: Similar to the previous build, Agility is of the utmost importance. However, Verticality is more important that Strength. Therefore, pick the pie chart that has Agility at the max, followed up with Verticality, Strength needs to be at the lowest.

- Weight: 192 lbs. – This increases your Acceleration, something that plays into your strengths in Agility.

- Build 3 (OP Build):
Skill Breakdown: Different from the previous two builds, for this build you are to pick the pie chart that emphasizes Finishing and Shooting over Playmaking and Defense!
Physical Profile: This is the same as the 2nd build; Agility needs to be greater than Verticality, which needs to be greater than Strength.

BEST SHOOTING GUARD BUILDS
A position I’m sure many of you are familiar with, it’s the position that the MVP of Basketball, Michael Jordan, played as.

BEST POWER FORWARD BUILDS
The position of a Power Forward is an offensive one, entailing several duties, including rebounding. They also have a defensive role, protecting the basket from the opposing team’s Power Forward. Understandably then, the defense is a key component of this build, 2 of the 3 builds will heavily feature defense, whereas one will not, but will make up for it in other fields.
- Build 1:
- Skill Breakdown: This build will differ from the other two the most, in that there will not be as much of a focus on Defense; instead, when selecting the Skill Breakdown, pick the pie chart that displays the most Finishing.
- Physical Profile: The Physical Profile for all 3 builds will be fairly diverse – prolific, even. In the case of this build, you’ll need Agility and lots of it. So select the pie chart that gives you the most Agility, at the cost of everything else.

BEST CENTER BUILDS
The Center can be regarded as the strongest asset of the team; often the tallest player with the most body mass and strength, they play in close proximity to the basket, some even scoring from outside the 3-Point range. Then it should come as no surprise that the builds here will focus on those particular elements.
- Build 1:
