Okay, guys, let’s talk about my recent adventure with NBA 2K24’s franchise mode. I’ve been a fan of the series for a while, and I’ve got to say, diving into this mode was quite the experience.
First things first, I heard that NBA 2K22 won the “Best Franchise Mode” award in 2021, which is cool, but 2k24 is on sale now for 85% off on Steam, so I figured, why not give it a shot? I started by exploring the different eras available. It’s pretty awesome that they brought back all those classic eras and even added a new one, the LeBron Era. I mean, who wouldn’t want to experiment with lineups from different time periods?

So, I jumped in and started messing around with the MyNBA feature. It really gives you a ton of freedom to try out different things. I spent hours tweaking lineups, trying to create the ultimate dream team from different eras. It was a blast, to be honest. It brought back so many memories of watching my favorite players as a kid.
Now, I know some folks prefer playing online, and I get it. I heard that having a squad to play with is a major advantage if you’re trying to win. Apparently, planning your builds together can really boost your chances. As for me, I mostly play solo, but I do enjoy hopping online occasionally. If you’re like me and mainly play alone but want to dip your toes into online modes, I found that playing as a Big Man is a pretty good way to help your team win, even if you’re not a seasoned pro.
But back to the franchise mode. I have to say, whether you’re a 2K veteran or a newbie, this mode really does require some skill and strategy. It’s not just about picking your favorite players and hoping for the best. You’ve got to think about team chemistry, player development, and all that good stuff. I experimented with various combinations. Each time I learned something new.
I also spent some time digging into the MyPlayer, shooting, defense, and playmaking aspects. I mean, there’s a lot to learn, and it takes time to get good. Some folks say mastering NBA 2K24 takes a lot of effort.
- MyPlayer: I created my own player and started grinding to improve his skills. It’s a long process, but it’s satisfying to see your player grow.
- Shooting: I practiced my shooting a lot. It’s not easy to get the timing right, but once you do, it’s so rewarding. I kept shooting until I could hit those three-pointers consistently.
- Defense: Defense is tough, but it’s crucial. I worked on my positioning and timing to block shots and steal the ball. I tried to anticipate my opponents’ moves and react quickly.
- Playmaking: I tried to improve my passing and court vision. It’s important to find open teammates and make smart decisions. I focused on making the right pass at the right time.
All in all, playing franchise mode in NBA 2K24 has been a fun and challenging experience. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the world of basketball and test your skills. I’m still learning, but I’m definitely enjoying the journey. And hey, with the game being 85% off right now, it’s a great time to check it out if you haven’t already. And I plan to continue exploring and improving my gameplay in the coming days.
