TopSpin 2K25: Best coaches & MyPlayer attributes to level up
2K GamesTopSpin 2K25 gives you free rein to create your MyPlayer and enhance their attributes based on your play style. Take a look and find out which are the best attributes to improve in TopSpin 2K25.
TopSpin 2K25 is already in full swing across all its editions. The new title from 2K Games allows you to create your own player and dominate the ATP or WTA circuit in MyCareer mode. But to win the Grand Slam, you first have a long journey of improving your MyPlayer’s attributes.
On that note, take a look at the best attributes to improve in TopSpin 2K25, including a list of coaches that provide extra boosts.
Best attributes to level up in TopSpin 2K25
Every time you level up your MyPlayer in TopSpin 2K25, you have six Attribute Points (AP) to improve any of your player’s eight statistics. If you’re unsure about which are the best attributes to upgrade, here’s a list of the must-go options.
- Power
- Backhand
- Speed
- Stamina
- Forehand
- Serve
- Reflex
- Volley
In TopSpin 2K25, Power and Backhand are the most important attributes to improve regardless of your playing style. Having a powerful backhand will earn you many points, so it’s good to improve these two statistics in parallel.
In a secondary tier, two physical attributes emerge, Speed and Stamina. At first, you’ll notice that your player gets tired quickly in a short rally, so improved stamina will help prevent this. Additionally, speed will allow you to reach almost any ball no matter how close to the sideline it is.
In our ranked list, in third place, are Forehand, Serve, and Reflex. While not essential, they shouldn’t be overlooked either.
Finally, at the bottom and as the least recommended attribute to improve is Volley. Moving to the net to play volleys is not only not part of the meta in TopSpin 2K25 but also leaves you vulnerable to lob shots, so it’s not advisable to spend your points on this stat.
