NBA 2K24 is the latest addition to the long list of NBA 2K games. These are the must-play games for any basketball fanatic. Today, people criticize sports games for not being innovative in terms of the gameplay they offer. This is also true for NBA 2K titles. Players have also noticed that in addition to similar gameplay, bugs and errors are also similar in all NBA 2K games. This brings us to the topic of this article: the slow motion issue in MyCareer mode that is irritating players in NBA 2K24.
If you’re new to the franchise, you may not know that most NBA 2K games are plagued by this “slow motion issue.” This is a bug that causes gameplay to become sluggish and run at a reduced speed, making in-game actions, including player movements and animations, slower than they should being. This issue usually occurs when playing MyCarrer mode and can disrupt the gaming experience, making it difficult to control players and play smoothly. So how to fix it? Keep reading to find out more.
NBA 2K24 Slow Motion Issue in MyCareer Mode: Is There a Fix Already?
Well, at the time of writing this article, there is no official solution to this problem. Additionally, the developers haven’t talked about it either. So where are we? Well, as we mentioned earlier, this is actually one of the many recurring errors in the NBA 2K franchise. Therefore, you can try some workarounds. Now keep in mind that these are potential fixes and are not guaranteed to work for everyone.
For PC
Change game settings
If you are facing slow motion issue in the PC version of NBA 2K23, you need to change the game settings. So, launch the game and go to “Video Settings”. Now make sure to enable V-Sync. You can also try lowering the display resolution, for example from 4K to 1080p, and switching between full-screen and windowed mode to see what works best for you. Additionally, in the Video Settings menu, set the quality preset to low or medium and then check if the problem persists.
Run the game through the dedicated GPU
If the problem persists, make sure the game is running on your dedicated graphics card. To do this, open Windows graphics settings by searching for “Graphics settings” in the Windows search box. Here, find the game’s executable file in its installation folder (usually found in the SteamApps folder). Now add NBA 2K24 .exe file to the list and click Options. After that, select “High Performance”.
Press Alt+Tab
If you’re still experiencing slow motion issues, try pressing Alt+Enter a few times after launching the game. Entering and exiting the game window might fix the problem for good.
Change refresh rate
If you’re still experiencing the same issue on your PC, consider changing your monitor’s refresh rate to 60Hz. This might resolve this issue, as it did for a lot of NBA 2K23.
For consoles
You can also try pressing the B button on an Xbox controller or the O button on a PlayStation controller when you encounter an error in the game. This workaround has been effective in previous iterations of the game, as these annual releases often share similarities with their predecessors, sometimes even being called “copy and paste” games. So, this method could solve the problem in the current game, given the similarities in their mechanics and errors.
Reinstall (PC and console)
If none of the workarounds mentioned above prove effective, perhaps the last thing to try is to completely uninstall the game from your PC or console and reinstall a fresh copy. Maybe a new copy of the game will be free of these pesky bugs.
Well, here are some potential workarounds to try and fix the slow motion issue when playing NBA 2K24. We hope this guide helped you resolve the issue.
