Rec Metrics —
AI-powered stats
A custom-built stat tracker for NBA 2K that uses AI OCR to analyze in-game screenshots and automatically log player performance to a queryable database — now paired with a full NBA 2K26 build planner for attributes, badges, cap breakers, and animations.
A look at the
finished product
No easy way to track
rec league stats
NBA 2K players running recreational leagues have no built-in way to track stats across games and seasons. Manual entry is tedious and error-prone. Players wanted a fast, accurate way to log game stats without leaving the console experience.
Screenshot it, and the
AI handles the rest
AI-Powered OCR
Players upload a screenshot of their post-game stats screen. Our AI vision model reads and extracts every stat line automatically — no manual entry needed.
Structured Database
Extracted stats are validated and stored in a PostgreSQL database, tied to players, teams, and seasons for full historical tracking.
Live Stat Dashboard
The website provides a real-time dashboard where players can view averages, leaderboards, game logs, and season-long trends at a glance.
The full NBA 2K26
build planner
Tracking what happened was only half the problem. Players were rebuilding characters from scratch because a single misplaced upgrade point cost them a badge tier or an animation. So we built a planner that models the entire build system — attributes and caps, badges, cap breakers, takeovers, and animation requirements — before any VC gets spent.
The builder at rec-metrics.com — a sample build with 21 badges unlocked, checked live against 1,020 animations, four takeovers, and every cap breaker in the game.
Attribute Engine
Position, height, weight, and wingspan drive every attribute cap. Move one slider and the whole build recalculates — caps, maxes, and overall rating included.
Badge Solver
Every badge in the game resolved live against your attributes. Bronze through Legend, with locked badges showing exactly what they are still waiting on.
Cap Breakers
Model each cap breaker before you spend it. The planner shows which badges and animations a breaker actually unlocks, so none of them go to waste.
Animations & Takeovers
Over a thousand dribble styles, jump shots, dunk and layup packages filtered down to the ones your build genuinely qualifies for — plus takeover eligibility.
