Alright, so I wanted to figure out how to play Olympics in NBA 2K24. First, I opened up the game, and man, all I could see was just a bunch of stuff for practicing dunks and layups. Not exactly what I was looking for, you know?
So I started digging around the menus. It’s not like super obvious where to find the Olympic stuff. I guess they don’t really make it a big feature or something.

Then, I thought, maybe I need to do some research. I watched a few videos, but they were mostly about these “build guides” and controller settings, which, honestly, went right over my head. I just want to play some Olympic basketball!
- Starting the Game: Open up NBA 2K24 on your console or PC.
- Navigating the Menus: Looked through the main menu options.
- Checking Tutorials: Found the tutorial mode but it was just basic training stuff.
- Watching Videos: Watched some online videos, but they were more about advanced gameplay, not what I needed.
I even tried to find some info about the rules ’cause, you know, it’s a bit different from regular NBA games. They say Olympic basketball is divided into four 10-minute quarters, and it’s all about that endurance and agility on the court. Sounds intense, right?
The Realization
After all that, I realized, maybe the Olympic mode isn’t a separate thing in the game. It’s probably more like, you pick the teams that usually play in the Olympics and just play a regular match. I mean, I saw that you can use NBA and WNBA players, so that’s gotta be it.
So, I went back into the game, and started messing around with the team selections. I picked some teams that I remembered from the last Olympics and just started a quick play game. It felt like the Olympics, at least to me! We went back and forth, trying to score as much as possible within the four quarters. It was pretty fun, even if it wasn’t an “official” Olympic mode. It’s all about making it work with what you got, right? The gameplay itself was just like a regular NBA 2K24 match, but hey, using those national teams made it feel special, you know?
In the end, it’s not exactly what I expected, but it’s pretty close. You just gotta use your imagination a bit and set up the game yourself. It’s all good, though. Still had a blast playing!
