“This year, NBA 2K will update player ratings upon the release of NBA 2k24 for next-generation consoles, following the completion of the 2019-20 NBA season, to ensure the ratings are reflective of the player’s performance this season,” 2K advised. “At that time, all updated NBA player ratings will be implemented across NBA 2k24 for current- and next-gen consoles.”

“Growing up, I always remembered watching male athletes on TV and playing as them in video games. Now, to have the WNBA be in the position we are and to have women featured prominently in NBA 2k24, we are allowing young girls and boys to have female athletes as role models,” Parker said of the news.

“The 2K team has done an amazing job of making sure to not just put women into the game playing men’s basketball, but I’ve seen first-hand the hard work they’re doing to make this as real and authentic as possible to women’s basketball. I’m proud to be a part of this team paving the way for the future.”

All 12 WNBA teams will be added to the popular basketball title, with leading WNBA players like Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks and A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces receiving the mo-cap treatment for inclusion.

NBA 2k24 gameplay enhancements were detailed by 2K and Visual Concepts in a hands-off preview event held for press, and we were in attendance to give you the rundown on what to expect.

“The main pillar for us this year can be summed up with one word: Authenticity,” 2K said in a press release that accompanied the presentation. “The team worked hard to create as much parity as possible in the on-court gameplay between Current and New Gen. Below, we’ve detailed all there is to know about the updates coming in the latest iteration of the NBA 2K franchise.”

While defense was the focus of NBA 2K23, this year’s iteration is all about scoring. To help offensive players combat the newly skilled-up defenders on the court, 2K24 players will be able to take advantage of an upgraded pro stick, expanded dunking controls, finesse moves and more.

Developer Visual Concepts introduced the concept of double throws — in their own words, “flicking the Pro Stick in a direction, letting it go back to center, and then quickly moving the Pro Stick back in the same direction” alongside switchbacks, “flicking the Pro Stick in a direction, letting it center, and then quickly moving the Pro Stick in the opposite direction.” Expanded control schemes to cater to these new moves open up a bevy of new options for those on the offensive.
