MyTEAM ANIMATION BREAKERS
WHAT ARE ANIMATION BREAKERS IN NBA 2K26?
There are many MyPLAYER customization options in NBA 2K26, including the ability to change your MyPLAYER’s signature animations; however, customizing the shot releases and dribble packages of MyTEAM Player Cards hasn’t been a possibility—until now, introducing Animation Breakers.
Animation Breakers are a new type of Game Changer card that gives you the ability to change any player’s entire animation package, including jumpshot, dribble, and dunks, to a different animation package. Before you start using Animation Breakers, here are a few things you should know:
How to Use an Animation Breaker
To use an Animation Breaker, select a Player Card in your MyTEAM Collection, scroll down to “Select Game Changer,” then select Animation Breaker. Keep in mind that applying an Animation Breaker to a card will make it unauctionable.
How to Update Animations
When you apply an Animation Breaker, you’ll be prompted with the choice to update that player’s animation package. If you want to change it later, go back to the Player Card and select “Update Animation” to choose a new animation package.
You can go back at any time to update your Player Card with a new animation; another Animation Breaker isn’t required.
You can also restore your Player Card to its default animation package by selecting “Restore Original Animation.” However, the Animation Breaker won’t be removed, meaning once you apply it, it’s attached to the Player Card forever.
What Animation Packages are Available?
Bronze tier animation packages are currently available, with higher tiers of animation packages to come in the future. The Bronze tier features several iconic players, including Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce, Rashard Lewis, and others.
Swapping Player Cards with Animation Breakers
Animation Breakers work similarly to Badge and Shoe cards; a Player Card with an Animation Breaker attached can be swapped for a duplicate, but your Animation Breaker won’t transfer to the newly acquired card.
