Finishing is a broad term meant to indicate all techniques used to score a basket at close or point-blank range, usually 10 feet and lower. This ranges from your typical layups to more specialized dunks. In NBA 2K24, a new set of animations is available to switch up the timings and tells for your finishers, each with their own special requirements.
Some animations are well-telegraphed, allowing you to time your release better, others are faster but as such stricter on timing, but the bonus is that you have less chance of getting blocked. The benefits vary between animations like that, and it is up to you to invest in the proper attributes to unlock the animation that best suits you.
There are 5 attributes associated with Finishing in NBA 2K24 although not all of them have an impact on finishing requirements
Close Shot, to determine shooting potential when 10 feet from the basket.
Driving Layup for two-pointers made by moving in and jumping from below the basket.
Driving Dunk for moving into a regular dunk in the basket.
Standing Dunk for dunks made while standing under the basket.
Post Control to improve your ability to worm your way past defenders through various techniques such as spins, drop steps, etc.
How to determine NBA 2K24 finishing requirements
For unlocking different animations, the required attributes are contingent on 2 categories, i.e., ‘Attribute Requirements’ and ‘Height Requirements’.
Attribute Requirements tend to differ between animations but there are 4 primary attributes to keep in mind: Driving Dunk, Driving Layup, Standing Dunk, and Vertical respectively.
Finishers are also subdivided into further categories, in this guide we have a list consisting of Layups, Signature Dunks, Dunks and Alley-Oops. Each animation between the 4 categories has unique Height and Attribute Requirements as well. You can find all the finishing requirements for different animations in NBA 2K24 listed below
