If you want to become a master on the court, you need to know all the different NBA 2K24 controls you'll have to work with. With so many different types of moves and ways to play, this can be a daunting task.
Fortunately, in this NBA 2K24 controls guide we break down every single move you'll need so you can have an easy reference at any time. We've got details below on the NBA 2K24 controls for offense, defense, shooting, dribbling, passing, and post offense.
NBA 2K24 Controls Guide to Every Move
