Getting to the ‘Animations’ page in MyCareer couldn’t be easier.

  1. Hit Start, then go to the ‘MyPlayer’ option located third from the right.
  2. Select ‘Animations.’

Upon opening the Animations page, you’ll be greeted by a wall of text, starting with Gameplay Animations. Those are broken down into three separate categories: Scoring Moves, Playmaking Moves, and In-Game Celebrations. Each, as you’ll see below, come with many options.

Once arriving at the Animations Store, you’ll see all the aforementioned animations all in one place:

  • Scoring Moves
  • Playmaking Moves
  • In-Game Celebrations
  • Intros & Outros
  • City Emotes

Depending on what you’re looking to change, players will find plenty of ‘Free’ animations in the store. Though eventually, you’ll have to pay up in the form of Virtual Currency if you want to show off certain moves. Even still, the range is somewhat modest, starting at 250 VC and increasing to just 750 VC.

The more you play, the more VC you’ll earn. Which means the more you earn, the more you can spend. And don’t worry, players aren’t locked into any one animation. They can visit the store and tinker with their animations as often as they’d like.

That’s how to buy and change animations in NBA 2K24. There are many to choose from, so if you’re feeling indecisive, be sure to check back here along the way as we continue our NBA 2K coverage.
