Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

Do the PnR settings work correctly this year? Hard Hedge work properly finally?

I will let you know by day's end. Pre rotate and leave them still don't work in off ball defense though.

Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

Is it possible to scan myself and then use that scan for a created player in franchise?

I'm asking so that rather than playing MyCareer, I'd like to add myself as a free agent and do franchise w/ that scan ...

I'm just asking again for visibility. I'd like to scan myself for use in MyNBA and NOT MyCareer, don't know if that's possible and booting up 2k23 I doubt it!

Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

Hey guys! I'm really struggling with shot timing visual cues, it looks like the only one that kinda works for me is the very early "jump", but it seems like the whole internet recommends either "set-point" or "push", some even say "release" but I haven't seen anyone recommend the "jump". How do you even see these cues when they happen so fast?

Why not just go with what works best for you?

No idea.. but you're right. I'm sticking with that.

Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

What is wrong with Shotmaking?

I've seen that some want it hard for MyPlayer (can understand if you are building up players to Super Stars and only have 1 shot to figure out, but if other modes it's almost impossible to make anything).

I've been playing MyTeam, and otherwise play Franchise Mode (waiting for more updated rosters).

But it's almost impossible to make anything, including 1 ft shots that middle schoolers can make. If you have the meter mostly full on an open shot or layup, it should normally go in (like a FG in Madden).
2 times in a game recently I missed 4 layup/putbacks in same possession (Kobe & Bron would just miss 1 ft shot over & over).
Had Kobe 4-28 (0-4 on 3s) in one game w/near full shot meters on almost every shot.
I need to get better, but these are NBA players that can't make easy shots.

Kind of, but not all of them.

Ice doesn't work. Hard Hedge and Catch are different than other years and as defined.

Figured out how to get help from a 3rd defender on the roll man

Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

Can some one clarify to me the role of "Draft storylines (Generated) and (Historic)" in the myNBA modern era?

What's the purpose of that? The game doesn't seem to give a good documentation of its purpose - especially for the Historic choice.

What I think I understand is that the Draft Storylines (Generated) are designed to add variety and unpredictability to the future draft picks, while the Draft Storylines (Historic) is responsible for adding fictional storylines for the REAL NBA players from historical drafts such as Jayson Tatum so that he may have different career trajectories and roles (Not exactly sure what that means though)....

So what are the effects of these turned on vs off?

How do you do that, and can it be applied to the AI's defensive scheme?

It just creates a sense of "Randomness" to the draft. You pretty much have it figured out.

For example, with draft storylines on for historic draft classes, you could have a situation where someone, say, LeBron, comes into the league with an injury or is dealing with one (This can be seen during the draft. In the social media recap it will say something like "There were concerns following a debilitating knee injury in his freshman season, but it seems those concerns weren't enough to push the Knicks from taking him" and such variations of it). If that's the case, LeBron would come into the league with wear and tear already on his knee and a bigger chance of suffering a knee injury then normal. If you turn storylines off, he would come into the league every MyNBA with the same potential, ratings etc.

Note that this can happen at anytime during the season with this setting. So LeBron may not have the injury when you first scout him, but it becomes a thing later on if the game generates it for him. You'll see this in one of the offseason tasks as well, you'll get a message saying something like "Scout A has determined that LeBron has a serious knee issue and considers him undraftable" or something like that (It's been awhile since I've seen it)

1. Ice doesn't work.
2. Go over/under works most times.
3. Hard Hedge doesn't move up past the pick like every other year, and is no longer a show. It's more how soft Hedge used to be.
4. Soft hedge isn't a hedge at all. Just means the dude stays way back.
5. Switch works fine.
6. The Hard Hedge setting will have help from a 3rd defender.


The settings aren't very good or useful vs the pnr. The bigs constantly turn around and let the roll man get behind them. There is very little bumping or contact on the roller.

Re: NBA 2K24 Questions Thread

Hey guys,

I started the 80s Era and it seems Jordan is locked with Converse. I could do the whole DNA thing but I wanna see if he is able to switch to being locked in with his own brand later.. does that happen in the later years or no?

My mans need his Jordans on his feet!

Thanks for the reply! But, If I'm playing the ModernEra and I never draft historic players or use historic draft, but only the realistic draft prospects. In that case, how does Draft Storylines Historic will affect me? Or.. will it just be ignored?
