The choice of his team in NBA 2K24?
There are several situations where knowing the needs of NBA teams is of interest in NBA 2K24. First of all, in Career mode, teams will try as much as possible to choose a player who meets their needs. So, if you are looking to play for a specific club, preparing a build at a weak position in their squad is always a good idea.

Here, choosing the best team based on your build and its archetype is extremely important for rapid progression. Indeed, since you can choose the club in which you will play, it is interesting to opt for a squad which badly needs, in the short term, a player in your position.
Finally, for the next-gen version of NBA 2K24, the new Starting 5 online mode allows you to add your My Career player to one of the best NBA teams. Therefore, knowing what the needs of each team are will allow you to obtain an effective and consistent 5.
MyCareer mode and the importance of a team
Overall, the choice of a team on My Career must be optimized in order to progress quickly. Indeed, the idea is to select a formation which will make you play often, which will win regularly and thus, which will boost your total points obtained.
Here are some key elements to consider in your selection:
You must be able quickly establish yourself in the rotation of the team, even if it is in 6th Man. The idea is to have playing time to progress. Try not to duplicate the role of a player already on a team. If you are a defensive interior, avoid a five with already good inside defenders. In the same way, joining a good team could unbalance your style of play if you have a completely different perspective from the rest of the major five.
The team must be able to win, at least the majority of his matches. You will get a bonus for winning but above all, your season will continue through the Playoffs, adding more matches and opportunities to progress.
To summarize, the goal is to complete an average or even strong team, by integrating into its style of play and its needs. We detail our observations and advice in the following part of this guide.

Here’s our list of the best teams for My Career, based on your player’s position and archetype. Note that we are taking here, the notes and squads of NBA 2K22 for the release of the game. Successive updates could change this selection, as could transfers during the season (both in the game and in the real world).

The best teams to start my career
As mentioned above, some teams are more favorable than others to start. We are generally talking about clubs with an excellent squad, with a weak position where you will quickly be able to impose yourself, all in a group which should win a lot of matches.
Atlanta Hawks : A young team that is progressing and should have a good run in the Playoffs for a few seasons. In addition, the club allows you to give you a lot of freedom in your AF build.
Need : the Strong Winger position is accessible, with the added possibility of choosing your archetype style quite freely.
Cleveland Cavaliers : A fairly young squad but already very complete in its 5 major. If the club lacks depth, the team has the potential to go far in the Playoffs in your first year.
Need : the winger position is relatively easy to recover for a rather defensive profile.
Denver Nuggets : The reigning champion has the best player in the league with the Joker as the pivot, which inevitably opens up a lot of opportunities. So, Denver is clearly a great option for an outside player.
Need : the Full Back position is quite accessible, allowing you to evolve in complement to Murray.
Miami Heat : Finalist last year, the Heat have a good squad built around their star, Jimmy Butler. The latter will be at the heart of the game during your matches, becoming your best source of points both in GM and indoors.
Need: The main need is at point guard, where Lowry is starting to look a little old.
Milwaukee Bucks : Again a title contender, the Bucks are extremely talented with Giannis on the inside. If several positions are occupied by veterans, it is the fullback role that interests us.
Need : the Back position is clearly the weak point of the 5. If a good defender would be ideal here, a complete SG could become a star quite quickly.
Philadelphia 76ers : An excellent group, relatively complete, including the MVP of the season inside. A team that has the potential to aim for the title, even a 6th man place could allow you to make good progress in your first season.
Need : a Strong Winger or a Winger, both are excellent here given the presence of Embiid.
Phoenix Suns : One of the big challengers for the title since the arrival of KD, the group is very complete with two superstars and a good interior. So, you have the opportunity to aim for the title in your first years and then hope to create a good trio with Booker and Ayton.
Need : a Winger or even a Strong Winger (depending on Kevin Durant can be placed in AS or AF), if possible defensive at the beginning then complete.
Obviously, other clubs like the Lakers or the Warriors can be excellent options in the first season. However, subsequently, the age and contracts of certain stars could drastically weaken the team.
Teams to avoid in MyCareer mode
So be careful, if your goal in My Career is to become the star in your team, no problem. If you fall into the worst formation in the league, you can quickly become the club’s savior. However, if you lose regularly, you will not benefit from victory boosts, thus slowing down your character’s progression.
Therefore, starting with a bad team will slow down your progress but could also be a source of motivation for some. Everything therefore depends on your level of play, your desires and your playing time. If you are motivated and you have the possibility of leading a team, do not hesitate to reproduce seasons like Jordan in 1989, Kobe in 2006 or Wilt Chamberlain in 1962!
Teams to avoid when starting out
While it is not necessarily negative to arrive in a weak team, some teams are more limited (both in squad and potential) than others.
After the cleaning carried out with the various exchanges of its superstars, Brooklyn is clearly in a difficult position. Without being a bad team, the squad is generally average. However, the potential is there in the long term.
Houston is rebuilding and should struggle to get many wins in the first season. The potential is there but you will need to quickly become a star to be able to carry such a group.
We could also cite Orlando which has a young and promising squad but which still lacks the maturity to really seek to achieve a good run in the Playoffs.
Toronto is also in a situation where the squad is quite young, which is not necessarily ideal when you are starting out. Indeed, many players could compete for playing time while victories will not be easy to obtain.
Finally Washington is in a much more favorable situation from the perspective of My GM mode than in My Career. The squad is quite young and will need several seasons before really being a threat in the East.
Please note that the numbers may change throughout the season via updates. Thus, a less interesting formation at the moment could become more attractive with the arrival of an All Star before the end of the transfer period.
This is our guide to the best team by position and archetype to quickly evolve with your player in My Career mode or in Starting 5 of NBA 2K24.
