NBA 2K24: The new gameplay enhancements are across the board this time around
The toughest push for NBA 2K each year? How about convincing gamers a reason big enough to bid farewell to last year’s edition other than having revamped real-life rosters? It’s all about the overall gameplay and NBA 2K24 is coming correct with some seriously fun changes slated for next month’s release.
From a skill-based defense to a full-fledged takeover, it’s all about getting your gaming goals rocking in the new NBA 2K24.
Today, 2K introduced new gameplay enhancements coming to NBA 2K24. Spanning intuitive offense, skill-based defense, coaching, Takeovers and more, new gameplay innovations focus on delivering an elevated basketball experience for all.
“Our commitment to evolving the NBA 2K experience based on community feedback is a big reason why dedicated players and basketball fans have continued to play the game for the past 25 years,” said Mike Wang, Gameplay Director at Visual Concepts. “We’ve delivered NBA 2K24 gameplay enhancements that are more skill-based and intuitive, accelerating the gameplay experience for the entire community.”
Gameplay innovations featured in NBA 2K24 include:
Intuitive offense: Shooting and dribbling are more accessible and intuitive than ever before, enabling players of all skill levels to flourish on the court. The moves have been customized and improved to serve any difficulty, and the ability to initiate electrifying dribbling sequences will help players create more space for high percentage shots.
Skill-based defense: Counter moves are big in NBA 2K24. Perimeter and paint defense are both more effective and reward players for anticipating and making good reads.
Adrenaline Boosts: 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.
Coach with ease: 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.
Takeovers: 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.
