Cap Breakers can aid your MyPLAYER immensely if taken into account during player creation. What are Cap Breakers in NBA 2K25 Cap Breakers can increase your MyPLAYER\u2019s attributes beyond the cap you allocated to these attributes in the character creation screen. Cap Breakers cannot and do not increase attributes above the hard caps set by your player\u2019s position, height, weight, and wingspan. Each Cap Breaker raises the attribute cap by one level, but it does not raise the level itself. You still have to use VC to complete the upgrade. Furthermore, there is a maximum limit of +5 increase to a single attribute cap. You can\u2019t use Cap Breakers to bump an attribute capped at 90 all the way up to 99. For example, if you built a tall, strong center, and he has a hard cap of 70 agility, you can\u2019t use Cap Breakers to increase his agility above 70. You can, however, set the soft cap to 65 while creating the build and then use Cap Breakers to boost his agility cap to 70 later on. If you set the soft cap lower than 65, it won\u2019t be possible to reach the maximum of 70 that your build allows. Cap Breakers work very similarly to Badge Elevators, another new feature that could dramatically improve your fortunes, although the former are much more useful on your first build, while Badge Elevators usually thrive the most on subsequent MyPLAYERs. How to get Cap Breakers in NBA 2K25 You can\u2019t buy Cap Breakers. They can only be acquired by playing the game and playing it well. Cap Breakers are rewards for upgrading your Affiliation Level, which can only be done by accumulating REP, which in turn is awarded for playing in various online game modes. You can get a total of 15 Cap Breakers, spread out in three separate packs of five. Each pack of five Cap Breakers is the reward for reaching a specific Affiliation level, namely Starter 3, Veteran 2, and Legend 1. This means you don\u2019t win any Cap Breakers until you\u2019ve leveled up eight times, from Rookie 1 to Starter 3. Then you need four levels for the second and four more for the third batch of Cap Breakers. Unfortunately, players who don\u2019t like engaging in online play are essentially locked out of Cap Breakers, as there\u2019s no way to earn REP offline. You shouldn\u2019t be too disheartened by this, however. Cap Breakers are far from necessary in offline MyCAREER, especially if you already have the best jumpshots in NBA 2K25 at your disposal.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/nba-2k25-lebron-james.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343357"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1343357"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343357\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1343393,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1343357\/revisions\/1343393"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1336925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1343357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1343357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1343357"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1343357"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1343357"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1343357"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1343357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
