Takeover icons are divided into five categories:

  • Finishing
  • Shooting
  • Playmaking
  • Defense/Rebounding
  • Physicals.

These categories are rather straightforward, and their boosts will impact their corresponding categories.

  • Finishing will impact your ability to finish when near the basket.
  • Shooting will affect your ability from the field.
  • Playmaking will determine how efficient you are at passing.
  • Defense/rebounding will provide boosts when not in possession of the ball.
  • Physicals will determine how quick and strong your player will bet.

To fill their respective meters, you’ll have to make positive contributions on the court. That can be through scoring points, getting assists, grabbing rebounds, etc. Even after a meter is filled once, it can be filled a second time to unlock a Double Takeover, which provides an even bigger boost. The Takeover icons, as well as their required button inputs, are as follows:

  • Finishing (A/X): Checkered flag.
  • Shooting (X/Square): Crosshair.
  • Playmaking (Y/Triangle): Basketball with motion trail.
  • Defense (LB/L1): Shield with basketball design.
  • Physicals (RB/R1): Hand with dumbell.

That covers all of the Takeover icons in NBA 2K24. Now that you know what each icon means, consider checking out our NBA 2K24 guides hub to find topics such as where to find the Daily Spin or all Contact Dunk requirements.
