Okay, so I’ve been messing around with NBA 2K24, and I gotta say, getting Klay Thompson right in the game is a whole thing. Here’s how I went about it, step by step.
Getting Started
First, I fired up the game and headed straight to the player creation mode. You know, the usual drill. I picked Klay’s basic template, just to get a head start. His height, weight, wingspan, all that good stuff was already there.

Appearance Tweaks
Next, I dove into the appearance settings. This is where it gets tricky. I spent a good chunk of time just fiddling with his face. I tried matching it up with some photos I found online. His jawline, his eyes, the whole shebang. I made his forehead a little bigger. It wasn’t perfect, but I got it pretty close, I think.
Skills and Attributes
Now, for the important part – his skills. Klay’s a shooter, obviously, so I maxed out his three-point rating. I also bumped up his mid-range and free throw. This part took some time and many adjustments. I checked and found his parameters in the game.
- 3-Point Shot: 99, duh.
- Mid-Range Shot: Gotta be high, so I went with around 95.
- Free Throw: He’s automatic, so another 99 there.
Defense is also key for Klay. I gave him a solid perimeter defense rating, like maybe an 85. And his steal rating? Not his strongest suit, so I kept that around 70.
Playtesting and Adjustments
After all that, I took my created Klay for a spin. I played a few games, just to see how he felt. He was draining threes like crazy, which was awesome. But I noticed his defense needed a little work. So, I went back and tweaked his lateral quickness and defensive awareness a bit.
Final Touches
Finally, I added some signature animations. His jump shot, his dribble moves, everything. I wanted to make him feel as authentic as possible. And let me tell you, seeing him pull up for a three in that perfect Klay Thompson form? It’s pretty sweet.
So yeah, that’s how I created Klay Thompson in NBA 2K24. It took some time, a lot of trial and error, but I’m pretty happy with how he turned out. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go play some more games and get even more experience. See ya!
