The first NBA 2K27 builder that runs the game's own numbers.

Goated Build Lab was built by pulling the real tables out of NBA 2K27. Attribute ceilings, cap breaker ladders, badge requirements, archetype names and animation requirements all come from the game itself, and the whole thing computes on your phone.

Features you will not find anywhere else: real cap breaker ladders, a build finder that searches every legal body in the game, all 3,721 archetype names, and the Shades comparison that tells you which NBA players your build matches. This is the first tool of its kind.

WHAT IT DOES

Attribute ceilings. Height, weight and wingspan decide what every attribute can reach. The builder knows the exact number before you spend a single point.

Cap breaker ladders. Reading a threshold off a screen is easy. Goated Build Lab computes the entire ladder, so it knows a 94 takes five breakers to reach 99, while a Driving Dunk parked at 75 climbs all the way to 96 for free.

Build finder. Tell it what you want. A lockdown, 99 three-point, a specific badge at Hall of Fame. It searches every legal frame, builds one that gets there, and tells you how many cap breakers it needs.

Badge builder. Pick the tiers you want across the six categories and it finds a build that earns them.

Animations. See which jumpshot bases, dunk packages and dribble moves your build can equip, what your height allows, and how far away the rest are.

Archetype names. All 3,721 of them, searchable, with the builds that earn them.

Shades. The NBA players the game itself compares your build to.

Screenshot import. Point it at your Attribute Editor, 2K Card or MyCAREER upgrade screen and it reads the numbers straight off the picture.

Works offline. The whole builder runs on your device. Sign-in and the community feed are the only parts that need a connection.
