In NBA 2K games, takeovers have always been a powerful technique. In NBA 2K24, the Takeover Icons function in a well-known manner. Players will have more discretion over how to employ these, though. After all, the player is now responsible for initiating an effect.
Players will see five Takeover Icons on the top left when the time is right. The alternatives that players have to choose from are listed below.

Although the technology may be new, the Takeovers’ activation process is well known. Each of the Takeover Icons will have a specific meter attached to it. Different activities connected to these activities will fill these meters.
The shooting meter, for instance, will be boosted by assists and baskets, while the defensive/rebounding icon will be filled by grabbing rebounds. The only method to fast-fill the meter is to keep performing the necessary tasks while a match is in progress.

Players can activate the effects once a meter is full by pressing the RS button on an Xbox controller or the R3 button on a PlayStation controller. The only difference between Double Takeovers and Team Takeovers in terms of how they operate is who will be included in the increase.
Keep in mind that every boost will have a time restriction and a threshold after which they will no longer be effective. To maximize the benefits of a Takeover, it is crucial to understand when to initiate it.
