2K have finally released the first gameplay for NBA 2K24, though its really only valid if you plan on playing on the newer consoles or PC, as the star of the footage is the new ProPlay system, check it out.

In addition to the trailer, the first courtside report has been released, which is the deep dive series for the NBA games and when I say deep, I mean it.

Here is a very high level overview of some of the gameplay innovations featured in NBA 2K24:

• Intuitive offense: Shooting and dribbling are more accessible and intuitive than ever before, enabling players of all skill levels to flourish on the court. The moves have been customized and improved to serve any difficulty, and the ability to initiate electrifying dribbling sequences will help players create more space for high percentage shots.

• Skill-based defense: Counter moves are big in NBA 2K24. Perimeter and paint defense are both more effective and reward players for anticipating and making good reads.

• Adrenaline Boosts: Redesigned to make both offense and defense more engaging. Elite ball handlers will find more freedom to create while effective defenders can impact shooting abilities by locking ball handlers down.

• Coach with ease: 2K Smart Play is back on New Gen to help players streamline their offense, defense, and coaching to make it easy to call plays. Choose up to 16 preferred actions ranging from full plays to isolations and give-and-gos.

• Takeovers: Takeover returns for New Gen consoles in NBA 2K24 but with a new twist. Fill up the Takeover meter and then choose to activate either your Finishing, Shooting, Playmaking, Physicals, Defense and Rebounding abilities.

If that sounds like something you might want to learn more about, then you are in luck. You can read the full report here.
