How to use takeovers in NBA 2k24

Previously, players could access the Takeover system when they used the MyPlayer builder. However, in NBA 2k24, you can no longer find this feature in this section anymore. Instead, Takeover Badges has been transformed into real-time Takeover Icons that you can access while playing through a match.

Remember to change the status of Takeover Icons to “On” in the game settings. You have to play well to fill up your Takeover Meter, and once you do this, a small pop-up menu will open. When this menu becomes visible, you will be able to see all the categories in the form of Icons. The following are all of them:

  • Finishing: Checkered flag (A/X)
  • Shooting: Sniper icon (X/Square)
  • Playmaking: Basketball with trail (Y/Triangle)
  • Defensive/Rebounding: Shield (LB/L1)
  • Physicals: Hand-holding dumbbell (RB/R1)

This new implementation creates a much faster way to boost your player’s performance, and now you can clearly see the results of each category. You will be able to identify which ratings you will need to boost pretty easily. You can also wait for the Takeover bar to fill up again and get access to Double Takeover.
