How To Craft Cards in NBA 2K Mobile: The Exact Menu Path

To craft cards in NBA 2K Mobile, you use collectible materials to create new player cards that improve your team.

Gathering card materials

Craft materials are collectibles earned through various game modes and rewards. Different cards require different materials, for example, some cards need rings and conference collectibles or stamps, while others may need different collectible types. Requirements vary per card, so check each card’s specific needs. You can also acquire card materials by using the Auction House and trading with other players.

Accessing the card crafting menu

Follow this exact path to find the crafting menu:

Open Collections.
Go to the Catalog tab.
Tap the filter icon.
Select Craftable to view all cards that can be crafted.

Tapping All in the filter shows every card in the catalog, including craftable ones.

Identifying and selecting craftable cards

A craftable card is marked with a green bar and a hammer icon under the card name. Tap the card to see its exact material requirements. Review the listed items to confirm you have what you need.

Crafting the card

Once you have collected all the required materials, tap the Create button to instantly craft the card. If you do not yet have enough materials, the card remains uncraftable until the requirements are met. No waiting or additional steps are needed.
