Takeover returns to NBA 2K24 on New Gen consoles, but with a different spin.
In the past, you selected Takeover abilities as part of the build creating process. When you got hot in-game, your Takeover abilities would then activate and improve your player’s abilities in the category you chose. This year, you don’t assign a Takeover during the build phase and instead have the ability to choose whatever you want on the fly.
When you fill up the Takeover meter, you can pull up a menu that lets you choose between Finishing, Shooting, Playmaking, Defense/Rebounding, or Physicals. Activating one of those categories will boost all your ratings in that specific category. So now you have the flexibility to evaluate what’s happening on the court to see what your team needs before deciding how you want to take over. If you delay your Takeover activation and fill up the second meter, you can activate Double Takeover which allows you to select two different categories of ratings to boost. Finally, when you unlock Mamba Mentality, activating Double Takeover will boost all of your attribute categories making you a true beast on both ends of the floor.
