Okay, so, I got really into NBA 2K24 recently. I mean, really into it. And one thing I noticed is that some of the layup animations are just way cooler than others. Naturally, I wanted to get those sweet moves for my MyPlayer. But it’s not just about picking them from a list, oh no. There are requirements, and figuring them out was a journey, let me tell you.
First, I jumped into the animation store, excited to spend my hard-earned VC. I scrolled through the layup packages, saw some awesome ones – circus layups, crazy reverses, you name it. But then I noticed: they were all locked. And next to them, there was this little text saying things like “Requires Driving Layup: 80” or “Requires Ball Handle: 75”. Ugh, my stats weren’t high enough.

So, I started grinding. Played a bunch of MyCareer games, focused on driving to the basket, tried to get my driving layup stat up. It was tough! I was getting blocked a lot, missing layups, it was a mess. But I kept at it, watched some YouTube videos, and slowly but surely, my stats started to climb.
Then, I decided to do some digging online. I figured there had to be a list somewhere of all the animation requirements. And guess what? There are some websites that show all of these. Some good people put the work in and organized all that info, but you have to search it around. That was a game-changer.
- I started making a list of the animations I wanted and the stats I needed.
- I compared that to my current stats and figured out where I needed to improve.
- Then it was back to the grind, but this time, with a clear plan.
It took a while, but eventually, I got my driving layup high enough to unlock some of those fancy animations. And let me tell you, it was worth it. Pulling off a smooth euro step or a crazy reverse layup in a game feels so good when you know you’ve earned it.
So, here’s my advice if you’re trying to get those awesome layup animations in 2K24:
- Check the animation store and see what the requirements are. Don’t just assume you can get them all right away.
- Don’t be afraid to do a little research online. There are resources out there that can help.
- Be patient and persistent. It takes time to build up your stats.
The key is
You gotta put in the work to get those sweet moves!
