NBA 2K24 offers new gameplay details

Adjustments to shooting and dribbling, and the return of Smart Play

Posted on Aug 18, 2023 - 12:44pm EST

2K has new gameplay enhancements coming to NBA 2K24.

Shooting and dribbling promises to be more accessible and intuitive. The moves have been customized and improved to serve any difficulty, and the ability to initiate dribbling sequences will help players create more space for high percentage shots. Counter moves are also big in NBA 2K24. Adrenaline Boosts are redesigned to make both offense and defense more engaging. Elite ball handlers will find more freedom to create while effective defenders can impact shooting abilities by locking ball handlers down.

2K Smart Play is back on New Gen to help players streamline their offense, defense, and coaching to make it easy to call plays. Choose up to 16 preferred actions ranging from full plays to isolations and give-and-gos. Takeover returns for New Gen consoles in NBA 2K24 but with a new twist. Fill up the Takeover meter and then choose to activate either your Finishing, Shooting, Playmaking, Physicals, Defense and Rebounding abilities.

More details on the changes can be found at the Courtside Report.

NBA 2K24 is scheduled for release on September 8 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
