Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this NBA 2K24 game lately, and let me tell you, it’s a whole different beast when you try to play it online. I thought I was pretty good playing against the computer, but real people? That’s another story. I figured I’d share my experience, you know, just in case anyone else is diving into this.
First off, I jumped straight into MyCareer. Now, I’ve heard some folks say this is a must-do before even thinking about online play, and honestly, they’re right. This mode is all about building up your own player. You start out pretty basic, like an 85 overall rating, and the goal is to grind your way up to that sweet 99.
I spent hours in MyCareer, playing games, doing practices, just trying to get better. It’s not just about scoring points; it’s about learning the ropes, understanding the flow of the game, and unlocking those badges. Badges, by the way, are super important. They give you these little boosts in different areas, making your player way more effective on the court.
After grinding for a while, I started feeling more confident. My player was getting stronger, faster, and his skills were improving. I was draining threes, making crazy passes, and even dunking on some fools. I felt like I was ready to take on the online world. I was wrong, but hey, you live and learn.
My first stop was the Park. It’s like a virtual streetball court where you can team up with other players and go head-to-head against other teams. I thought I was hot stuff, but I quickly realized I was just a small fish in a big pond. It took me a minute to find a team. And let’s just say, those first few games were rough. Real rough. People online don’t play like the computer. They’re unpredictable, they’re skilled, and they don’t let you get away with anything. The defense was super aggressive, and it felt like I couldn’t even dribble without getting the ball stolen.

Started with MyCareer to build my player
Spent hours playing games and practicing. Worked on improving skills and unlocking badges.
-
Took my upgraded player to the Park
Realized playing against real people is way harder. Got my butt kicked a few times.

Tried out ProAm and Rec
It’s more organized and structured. Found it to be a bit more my speed.
After getting humbled a few times, I decided to explore other online modes. I checked out ProAm and Rec. These are a bit more structured, more like real basketball games. ProAm lets you create your own team with friends, design your own jerseys, and even your own court. Rec is more of a pick-up game vibe, but it’s still 5-on-5, full-court basketball.
Honestly, I found these modes to be a bit more my speed. It’s less about individual skill and more about teamwork. You gotta pass the ball, play defense, and actually play your position. I started to have more fun, and I even started winning a few games.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with online NBA 2K24 so far. It’s been a learning curve, for sure. But it’s been fun, even when I’m getting destroyed. It feels good to finally start getting the hang of it. If you’re thinking about playing online, just be prepared to put in the work. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely rewarding. And remember, have fun with it. It’s just a game, after all.
