NBA 2K24

Core Controls and Basic Gameplay:

1. Movement: Use the left analog stick for movement.
2. Shooting: Hold and release the shoot button or use the Pro Stick (right analog stick) for precise shooting. Learn your player’s shot timing and visual cue, which can be customized in settings. “Green or Miss” shot timing is standard on higher difficulties and in online competitive modes.
3. Dribbling: Use the Pro Stick for various dribble moves (crossovers, behind-the-backs, spins). Combining these moves with turbo (R2/RT) is key to breaking down defenders.
4. Passing: Use the pass button (X/A) for basic passes, or icons (R1/RB) for specific teammate passes. Advanced passing types like bounce passes and lob passes add versatility.
5. Defense: Use the left trigger (L2/LT) to engage in intense defense. Utilize the right stick for steals, blocks, and contesting shots. Proper defensive positioning and help defense are crucial, though some user reviews mention AI defensive quirks.
