How to Create All NBA 2K24 Template Builds (Updated)

Table of Contents

NBA 2K24 has introduced “Template Builds” of NBA players to the MyPLAYER Builder, which are similar to last year’s Replica Builds. NBA Templates are a way that gamers can essentially “clone” a real NBA player’s mold: things like height, weight, signature moves, jump shot, attributes and more – as close to the real thing as possible. Read on to find the best NBA templates in NBA 2K24.

All NBA 2K25 Template Builds (Pro-Tuned)

According to the 2K Devs, templates aren’t carbon copies of their NBA counterparts as far as ratings go, but they were optimized to be competitive options using their NBA ratings as a mold, and then maxed to 99 like custom builds.
