Starting fresh with a new build in a new 2K game requires players to carefully choose which attributes to upgrade first in NBA 2K24 MyCAREER.

Getting your MyPLAYER to a 99 OVR in NBA 2K24 is quite the process, especially if you are unwilling to spend a lot of money on VC. Just reaching an 85 OVR costs 200,000 VC ($49.99), so players must choose the best attributes to spend their currency on.

Although the decision ultimately comes down to personal preference and build type, there are a handful of attributes that are universal in NBA 2K24. Here's a breakdown of which attributes to upgrade right away in NBA 2K24 MyCAREER.

Which Attributes to Upgrade First in NBA 2K24 MyCareer

Of course, the attributes you decide to upgrade first are mostly dependent on your build. Bigs and guards have different priorities on the court, but generally, the most important attributes to upgrade first in NBA 2K24 MyCAREER are:

  • Three-Point Shot
  • Driving Dunk
  • Ball Handle
  • Speed with Ball
  • Steal
  • Speed
  • Offensive Rebound

If you play as a big, make sure you upgrade Defensive Rebounds as well.

You might be tempted to upgrade Free Throws right away, but save that attribute for later on, especially if you do not play a lot of Rec/ Pro-Am.
