For those are in need of help decoding the Takeover icons in NBA 2K24, here’s a look at them all and what each one corresponds to.

As we reported back in August 2023, Takeovers have changed in NBA 2K24. Now, individuals can boost an individual stat should one be able to activate a Takeover in the middle of the game. So, those who are in a tight game can either choose a defense boost to lock down or a shooting boost to sink some shots late.

When activating a Takeover in 2K24, one will notice five icons at the top-right corner of the screen and will prompt user to click a button that corresponds with each one.

Here’s what all those icons are for in MyCareer.

Much like in past games, Takeover and Double Takeovers can be unlocked through playing well and accumulating points, assists, and rebounds.

Then, click RS/R3 for Xbox or PlayStation to unlock the Takeover. But be mindful that Takeover boosts, whether it be the traditional, double, or Team ones, only last for a limited time.

Thus, make the most of whichever one is chosen.
