It's important to know that in modern NBA 2K games, the play-calling feature is an essential part of the gameplay. It adds layers of complexity and available strategies for skilled gamers to execute their ideas. And that's why many players get frustrated when the call play feature doesn't work in NBA 2K23. If you don't know how to call plays in NBA 2K23 MyCareer, or if calling for a ball off-screen doesn't work, read on as we explain everything you know about
How to Call Plays in NBA 2K23
Before we jump to any potential issues, let’s first see the basics – how to call plays in NBA 2K23. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Press L1 (PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5), LB (Xbox One / Xbox Series X/S), or L (Nintendo Switch).
- Buttons will appear above your teammates.
- Press the button designating which players you want to call.
- Select one of the available Call Play options.
There is one more thing you can do and that is, you can just push left on the D-pad, which will prompt the plays menu.. From there, use L2 and R2 to go through the available options. With that said, for some players, it seems like this feature doesn’t work. What’s the catch here? Well, that’s because Calling Plays is not unlocked from the get-to in MyCareer. In order to be able to call plays in NBA 2K23 MyCareer, you will first need to unlock it.
For information, let us tell you that this can be done by completing this quest, which you will find later in MyCareer. After you complete uncle Bobby’s main quest, a side quest will pop up from Zion. This quest asks you to activate leadership skills in order to get the on-court coach badge. And that’s the play calling badge. What you need to do is to complete 25 leadership goals to unlock it. Once you’ve done it, you should be able to call plays in NBA 2K23 MyCareer.
NBA 2K23 Off Ball Call for Screen Not Working
Another thing you should keep in mind is that, even if you unlock Call Play, you should know that the whole mechanic is currently quite bugged. Like a lot of other things in NBA 2K23 at launch. For many players, it simply won’t work as it should. The call play menu would either not appear, or it will not show any advanced plays. For example, calling for a screen of the ball is currently not working at all following the most recent update.
We're sorry to report that there is currently no solution to this, and some fans speculate that 2K has decided to nerf this, as it was too easy to score with this strategy, but we are not sure about it. When we have more info about why the off-ball call for the screen is not working, we will make sure to update the article.
