What are the best builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer in NBA 2K22? A large part of the NBA 2K22 experience revolves around creating your own NBA player, which you'll then use in the MyCareer mode, and in The City and the Neighborhood. Before creating your MyPlayer, you should think about what type of experience you want to have with the game: is your role going to focus on playmaking, defense, or three-point scoring? Of course, it can be hard to make decisions when you're at the beginning of your MyCareer, so in this NBA 2K22 guide we're going to recommend the best builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer in NBA 2K22.

It's worth noting before we get into the best builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer that, due to the versatility of 2K Sports' game, you'll find recommendations rather than definitive builds on this page. All of the options will allow you to earn Hall of Fame Badges that buff your MyPlayer in key areas, as well as maximise the attributes for the position you want to play. But depending on the type of build you want to create, we strongly suggest you experiment and find what works best for you. If you'd like a round up of the Best Badges in the game, then you can find those through the link.

And finally, if you don't own the new game and you're looking for NBA 2K21: Best Builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer, then you can still find those through the link.

NBA 2K22: Best Builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer

On this page, you'll find the best builds for MyPlayer and MyCareer in NBA 2K22. We've divided these builds up into the five positions found on a basketball court: Center, Power Forward, Small Forward, Shooting Guard, and Point Guard. If you're new to basketball, or aren't perhaps familiar with the roles and responsibilities of each position, then we've summarised them below:

Position	Also Known As	Description	Example Players
Center	The Five	The Center is typically the tallest player on the team, and operates beneath the basket both on offense and defense. This player's strength and height makes them responsible for offensive rebounds and bringing others into play. Defensively, they're also tasked with collecting rebounds and even blocking shots.	Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokić

Power Forward	The Four	The Power Forward is similar in terms of physical attributes to the Center, but will often be faster and have a better playmaking skills and shooting prowess. This player is generally quite versatile on both sides of the court, operating both inside the paint and around its perimeter depending on the team's needs.	Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zion Williamson
Small Forward	The Three	The Small Forward is usually shorter than the Power Forward, and works as a jack-of-all-trades. This player will typically have excellent ball handling skills and passing range, but will also be among the best shooters on the team.	LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard
Shooting Guard	The Two	The Shooting Guard is typically the fastest player on the team. This player's responsible for driving the ball down the court, creating offensive plays, scoring points, and shooting from distance.	James Harden, Paul George
Point Guard	The One or The Point	The Point Guard is usually the smallest player on the team, and is responsible for orchestrating the team's offense, by assisting teammates and also finishing off attacks. This player has a similar role to the Quarterback in the NFL.	Steph Curry, Luka Dončić

Before you begin to build your MyPlayer, you'll need to either import a Head Scan or create a new appearance for your build. There are a ton of parameters you can edit here, from skin texture to eye colour and — crucially — hair, so spend a little time to create your look and come up with something that you like. The reality is that you're going to spend a lot of time looking at your avatar through NBA 2K22's lifecycle, so you want to come up with something good. Don't worry, though, you can always change it later by pushing the Options button in game and selecting MyPlayer > Appearance > Appearance > Edit Head.

Once you've settled upon a face for your MyPlayer, you'll also need to give your avatar a Name, Position, Handedness, and Number. The Name, Position, and Number won't affect your Attributes — although Handedness will alter how you dribble and approach layups — but the Position you select will form the basis of your build, so choose wisely. You'll also need to pick a Height, Weight, Wingspan, and Body Shape. While the Body Shape is purely cosmetic, the Height, Weight, and Wingspan dramatically correlate with your maximum Attributes, therefore we've outlined all of the Body Settings for our builds below.
