NBA 2K23 MyCareer Best Takeovers: Current and Next Gen
As always, which Takeovers you use ultimately comes down to preference. However, it's important to choose from some of the more popular options. This is because as seen and widely covered in the previous 2Ks, not all options are created equal.
Current Gen
For those on Current Gen, all eight of the options from last year return in NBA 2K23.
Here's how we'd rank the Takeovers in Current Gen:
- Post Scorer
- Spot Up Shooter
- Slasher
- Glass Cleaner
- Lockdown Defender
- Playmaker
- Rim Protector
- Shot Creator
Ultimately, all of these special abilities are generally balanced, except perhaps the Post Scorer option. As players on both gens have learned early on, the post game is back in a big way in NBA 2K23 for those willing to go a bit old school with it.
Next Gen
For those on Next Gen, all 24 of the Takeovers from 2K22 have also returned.
Here's how we'd rank the Takeovers in Next Gen:
- Post Shot Daggers
- Limitless Range
- Spot-Up Precision
- Boxout Wall
- Negative Impact
- Pull-Up Precision
- Extreme Clamps
- Finishing Moves
- See the Future
- Advanced Post Moves
- Power Backdowns
- Perimeter Badge Drop
- Easy Blowbys
- Team Takeover Boost
- Team Badge Boost
- Anklebreaking Shots
- Interior Badge Drop
- Stuff Blocks
- Enhanced Jumpshot Contests
- Advanced Gathers
- Glass Clearing Dimes
- Paint Intimidation
- Team Ratings Boost
- Post Playmaking
As explained with Current Gen, post players that have their Takeover activated can be terrifying to go up against in Next Gen. Aside from that, most of the rankings are pretty similar to last year, with the core, easy-to-use options remaining closer to the top.
