FAQ

Quick answers about the planner, the free build and Pro.

What does the planner do?

You enter your MyPLAYER position, height, weight and wingspan, how many cap breakers you have, and the ratings you want. It works out the cheapest base build and exactly where to put each cap breaker.

How accurate is it?

Every max rating for every legal height, weight and wingspan has been checked against the official 2K HQ builder, including Driving Dunk, Post Control and Block from 6'4" to 7'4". Cap breaker sizes and random full builds at every height were tested against the app too.

What do I get for free?

One "Generate builds" run per person, showing Build 1's full cap breaker plan. Builds 2 and 3, the badges list and badge upgrade tips come with Pro. You need to log in first so we can keep track of it.

Can I get another free build with a different email?

No. It's one free build per person: email aliases count as the same inbox, temporary email addresses aren't accepted, and each device gets one free build.

What counts as a run?

Each press of "Generate builds" is one run, whether the build can be made or not. Changing your body or ratings doesn't use a run.

How much is Pro?

US$9.99 a month for unlimited runs. It renews monthly until you cancel.

How do I cancel?

Go to Account, then Manage subscription. You keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.

Can I get a refund?

Email labsbuilder@gmail.com within 7 days of a charge and we'll sort it out.

What happens when 2K patches the game?

If a patch changes max ratings or cap breakers, the planner is re-checked against 2K HQ and updated.

What are "Must" ratings?

Ratings you tick as Must are kept exactly as you entered them. Other targets can be lowered slightly if that's what it takes to fit the build.

How do I log in?

With Google, or with a login link sent to your email. There's no password to remember.

Is my payment safe?

Payments go through Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe and never touch this site.

Is this made by 2K?

No. Builder Labs is an independent fan tool and isn't affiliated with 2K, Visual Concepts or the NBA.
