To get off to a great start in NBA 2K24, we need to build a strong player into the game. Due to many changes in NBA 2K24, we may encounter some errors when building players. Here are 7 tips that will allow us to avoid common mistakes in NBA 2K24 and help us build a strong player.
1. Animation Requirements
It would be best to ensure that the player you build meets the requirements for the animation you want to use. Certain requirements must be met to use an animation in NBA 2K24.
Here are some examples of animation requirements for different types of moves:
Dribble Animations
Speed with Ball, Ball Handle, and Height requirements for Dribble Styles and Moving Crossovers
Layup Animations
Type, Package, Driving Dunk, Driving Layup, Min Height, Max Height, Standing Dunk, and Vertical requirements
Dunk Animations
Dunk, Clutch Reverses Off One, 80+, Any, 5'7
Dunk, Clutch Reverses Off Two, 75+, Any, 5'7
Shaquille O’Neal, 80+, 55+, 50+, 6'10”
Scottie Pippen, — , 80+, 60+, 6'5″
2. Choose a low-risk build
Some builds, like guards, are riskier because they depend on specific animations. In contrast, center builds are more straightforward. Start with the less risky ones if you plan on creating many builds.
3. Utilize NBA2KLab
This website offers valuable information on badge requirements, animation requirements, and more. This site identifies the game’s best badges and jump shots through some simulations, which can be referenced when we do player builds.
4. Understand Attributes
In NBA 2K24, we must understand each attribute to build a player that matches our development.
Some reasons to understand attributes in NBA 2K24:
Getting the best out of your players
Tailored Gameplay
Avoiding Misconceptions
Efficient Resource Allocation
5. Physicals Matter
Your player’s height, weight, and wingspan can influence the badges you unlock. We can change the potential of a build by adjusting a player’s height, weight, and wingspan.
6. Give Your Build Time
Don’t think about getting a powerful player the first time you finish a build; sometimes, a build only shows great ability when developed.
7. New Badge System
There are many changes in NBA 2K24, including a new badge system. In this new badge system, we have more freedom to try out different combinations, which means more player builds.
These tips will help us avoid many mistakes when building a player, and then we can get a perfect player. Of course, before that, we need to buy a powerful player card using 2K24 MT, which determines the basis of a build.
