Overview

  • Animation Glossary catalogs every available move with detailed attributes and height requirements and the Scouting Report delivers a clear breakdown of a build’s strengths, weaknesses, key badges and attributes.
  • Build By Badges lets players select preferred badge types and tiers while automatically locking in necessary attribute minimums to suit individual playstyles.
  • Badge Perks return with Max +2 tiers and in-game boosts such as Takeover Surge, Hot Start and Clutch Gene alongside custom Takeovers that share progress across all saves.
  • Build Specialization quests allow focused progression in finishing, shooting, playmaking, defense or rebounding with nine objectives each that reward skill boosts, apparel, cosmetics, archetype names and Cap Breakers.
  • Expanded Rebirth tiers offer Silver, Gold, Hall of Fame and Legend levels to carry over progress across saves and unlock higher overall ratings and badge upgrades.
