Okay, so I wanted to get my layup game on point in NBA 2K24, and let me tell you, it’s a whole process figuring out the requirements. Here’s the rundown of what I went through.
Figuring Out the Basics
First things first, I had to figure out which build I wanted to go with. I’m all about that slashing game, so I knew I needed a build with high Driving Layup attributes. I spent a good chunk of time in the MyPlayer builder, messing around with different combinations.
I started by checking out some online guides, because, let’s be real, who wants to waste time with a build that can’t finish at the rim? I noticed a lot of people recommending at least an 80 Driving Layup for decent animations, and some even suggesting 90+ for the really fancy stuff.
Testing and Tweaking
Once I had a build with a solid Driving Layup rating (I settled on an 85 to start), I jumped into some MyCareer games to test it out. I wanted to see which layup packages were available and which ones felt good.
- I tried out a bunch of different layup packages, like the Long Athlete one, and some of the more acrobatic ones.
- I quickly realized that just having a high rating wasn’t enough. My player’s height and wingspan also seemed to play a big role.
- I also experimented with badges, and some of them, such as Acrobat and Giant Slayer, make a big difference when finishing tough layups.
The Grind
After some experimenting, I figured out the sweet spot for my playstyle. I upped my Driving Layup to an 89, and that unlocked some really cool animation packages. I focused on getting my badges up, too, because those are key to consistently finishing at the rim.
It’s still a work in progress, I spent hours practicing in the Gatorade gym, working on different layup timings and finishes. It’s not just about button-mashing; you really gotta get a feel for the timing and release point, so you have to keep trying and practicing.
It took a while, but I finally started seeing results. I was finishing layups over taller defenders, pulling off acrobatic moves, and generally feeling like a layup god.
So, that’s my experience with layup requirements in 2K24. It’s a process of figuring out your build, testing, and grinding, but it’s totally worth it when you start pulling off those crazy finishes.
