How to tackle in NBA 2K24

Whilst you’re more likely to recover possession via a rebound or a block, it is important that you know how to tackle in order to try and force those late turnovers when the clock is against you.

Thankfully, there isn’t much to learn when it comes to tackling in NBA 2K24. In fact, the controls are incredibly simple. They are as follows:

• PlayStation: Press Square
• Xbox: Press X

The main thing to focus on when you’re attempting a tackle in-game is your starting position. You need to ensure that you are head-on with the ball and consider the distance between you and your opponent as, if you’re too close, you are likely to make contact with the player and give away a foul.

Knowing your player’s strengths will also help you to be successful when looking to steal the ball in-game. You should look to turn to those with high-rated perimeter defence to get the job done, the likes of Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday and Memphis’ Marcus Smart lead the way in that department this year.

That is everything that you need to know about how to tackle in NBA 2K24.
