Visually Stunning and Realistic Gameplay
NBA 2K24 pushes visual fidelity to new heights with realistic player models, detailed arenas, and lifelike animations. Enhanced physics and motion capture provide a more immersive and authentic basketball experience, especially on next-gen consoles.
Deep Career and MyTEAM Modes
The MyCAREER mode lets players live the journey of an NBA star, complete with storylines, endorsement deals, and team dynamics. MyTEAM continues to offer card-based team-building gameplay with constant seasonal updates and new content.
Kobe Bryant Tribute and Mamba Moments
As a tribute to Kobe Bryant, NBA 2K24 introduces the “Mamba Moments” mode, allowing fans to relive some of his most iconic career highlights. This nostalgic addition is a major draw for longtime NBA and Kobe fans.

Heavy Focus on Microtransactions (VC)
Progression in MyCAREER and MyTEAM is heavily tied to Virtual Currency (VC). Players often feel pressured to spend real money to stay competitive, making the game feel pay-to-win, especially in online modes.
Repetitive Gameplay in Some Modes
Despite new features, certain elements of NBA 2K24—especially in MyCAREER—can feel recycled from previous entries. The grind can become tedious without meaningful variety or progression improvements.
Online Stability and Matchmaking Issues
Some players report inconsistent online performance, including lag, disconnections, and long matchmaking times. These issues can frustrate players looking to compete in ranked or park modes consistently.
