Check out this quick tutorial on Cap Breakers in NBA 2K25, including how to unlock Cap Breakers and how they work, Cap Breaker restrictions, and more!
How do Cap Breakers Work in NBA 2K25?
Cap Breakers in NBA 2K25 enable builds to exceed its original attribute limits, or “attribute caps,” and also have those ratings contribute towards Animation, Badge, and Takeover attribute requirements.
Cap Breakers earned through Rep allow you to increase attributes beyond their initial cap. For example, if you set an attribute to 70, a Cap Breaker can boost it up to 75. Or say your Ball Handle attribute is maxed out at 85. You can apply two Cap Breakers to play with an 87 Ball Handle rating and also unlock access to any Animations, Badges, or Takeovers that require an 87 Ball Handle.

- You can use a Cap Breaker on an attribute up to its max potential rating allowed by your build’s height, weight, and wingspan, which is shown in the MyPLAYER Builder while allocating your attribute potential
- You must progress an attribute to its max potential rating before applying a Cap Breaker
