How to configure the NBA 2K24 screen

In NBA 2K24, making baskets from difficult positions often determines the outcome, therefore screen-setting is essential.

It's not too tough to score baskets on the simpler levels. The amount of free space on the floor rapidly decreases as you play against more difficult opponents, which reduces your chances of making a basket. Calling for a screen allows you to give your ball handler more room by having one of your teammates come short. When used strategically, this additional space might take the opposing defense by surprise.

Using a screen call in NBA 2K24

When attempting to set up a screen, you may either summon a player at random or a particular player. Should you choose the first choice, the game will figure out an appropriate screen on its own. Although this method may be the least effective of the two, it is more appropriate for novices.

The steps to set up a screen with a random player are as follows.

• Hold the L1/LB button on your PlayStation/Xbox controller when the ball is with your ball handler. This will automatically push one of your other players to offer himself as a screen.
• Once the screen is set, press the LS button to make the player switch sides (beneficial if you think he is standing in the wrong position).
• Press the R1/RB button on your PlayStation/Xbox controller to decide what the screen should do.

In my opinion, it's critical to identify the player who is being referred to as the possible screen. The Center, for instance, is usually a suitable option since they have the large physical structure needed to create the area.

• Instead of holding the L1/LB button on your PlayStation/Xbox controller, press it once when the ball is with your ball handler.
• You’ll see a button icon appearing on top of each of your remaining four players.
• Select the button of the player you want to set the screen. The remaining process and options are the same as when creating a screen with a random teammate.

Another technique to make a fake movement would be to cancel the screen in the middle. Simply press the L1/LB button a second time to do this before the screen-setting procedure is finished in NBA 2K24 .
