There are a lot of things to discuss regarding takeovers, and here’s everything you should know in activating them in NBA 2K25.
How to Turn On Takeovers in NBA 2K25
Activating takeovers doesn’t require pressing any buttons. Takeover abilities are passive bonuses with different levels now. Each takeover has five different levels, and you’llneed to unlock the takeoverand levels four and five through finishing objectives while playing games.
There are several takeovers available, and they all depend on your player’s attributes. For example, if you have high mid-range and three-point shooting attributes, you’ll have the Middy Maestro and Spot-Up Shooter takeovers available. You’ll unlock these takeovers when you increase your player’s attributes.
Then, you’re able to go to the takeover page in the main menu screen and look for all the takeovers you can equip. Look at their requirements and attempt to unlock them. If you have one takeover you want to upgrade, hover over it, and it should have an objective under the leveling bar. Finish the objectives to unlock the next levels of that specific takeover.
Once you have unlocked and equipped a takeover,you only have to play the game to activate it. Takeovers only require you toperform several positive actions to activate it. If you do these positive actions consecutively without any negative actions,it’ll fill the takeover meter faster. You’ll see your takeover meter burning up, meaning it is currently activated, and you are receiving the bonus already.
