How to Improve Defence in NBA 2K24 Matches

Choosing the Correct Defensive Badges and Defensive Badge Levels

The best defensive badges for a Perimeter Lockdown include Clamps, Challenger, Glove, Right Stick Ripper, Fast Feet, and Interceptor. Having these badges will give you the best chance to stay in front of your man and generate turnovers giving your team valuable extra positions. If you have a 68+ Block, 50+ Speed, and 60+ Vertical, using the Chase Down Artist badge even on Bronze can help you get the right animations for a swat at the rim. Also, Perimeter Lockdowns should be using Pick Dodger as high as they can. Strength is a huge part of defense this year as some key badges need strength in order to unlock them.

 

For Interior Defense, the best badge to have equipped would be the Anchor badge. Having Hall of Fame Anchor on defense will be your best bet to get a stop in the paint, but it is very expensive to invest in. Generally Silver is a good level to have at a minimum. With good positioning and timing on your block attempt, you can be very effective in getting stops at the rim.

 

Steals

Often considered a risky play, but one that can definitely pay off if successful, stealing the ball is an effective defensive strategy that can swing the momentum of a match in a heartbeat. In NBA 2K24 this is no different, but players should use this strategy sparingly, as they are more likely to commit a foul than record a steal.

 

To perform a steal, players will need to be in proximity to the ball-handling player and press the Square/X button or move the right stick in the direction of the ball. This is best done while the opposing player is executing a dribbling move, or in instances where they are off balance. Generally, it is a low-percentage play when the opposition has full control of the ball or is holding it. However, it's worth attempting if players have fouls to spare and have not tried to steal in a while.

 

Swap between players

As the ball handler is liable to change on a moment’s notice, you must be glued to them like white on rice as much as you can. Fortunately, the ‘swap player’ button does just that, allowing you to automatically switch to the player closest to the ball handler when you press it.

 

To be good at defense in NBA 2K24, simply swapping to the closest player on a reactionary basis will only get you so far though. You must make sure to predict some scenarios in advance. Have a quick glance at where each of your players currently are and shortlist which of them are in high probability pass zones by the opponent, which of the opponent’s characters are silently worming their way into your perimeter etc.

 

Swapping on a semi-proactive basis and knowing exactly which player to expect to swap into will help you keep momentum going even better and eventually even let you steal the ball.
