Dribbling animation requirements for NBA 2K24

Dribbling the basketball in NBA 2K24 comes in three different styles. Gamers can do basic, normal and pro. As the names suggest, the levels open up advantages as the degree of difficulty goes up.

Basic dribbling

It’s a free-for-all style that needs no requirements. One can do this without meeting parameters like speed with the ball and height of players.

Fans who are new to the game can get themselves accustomed to this style before trying out the others.

Normal dribbling

Here, 2K24 gamers have to fulfill one requirement. One can use a player with any height, but the speed with the ball must at least be 40. Sixty, though,, is the ideal number to enjoy the full normal dribbling experience.

Pro dribbling

Once gamers hit the needed numbers, they can unlock dribbling animations of players like LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry.
