If you’re not a self-motivating person, you’ll still get plenty of extrinsic motivation from NBA 2K24’s trophies and achievements. There are dozens of shiny accomplishments to be completed across the various game modes.
In case you’re unfamiliar with how game trophies and accomplishments work, they are awarded by your platform outside of the game for completing challenges inside of the game. Once you complete one of them, your platform will notify you that you’ve unlocked a trophy or achievement. You don’t need to do anything special to get a one as they are automatically awarded upon completing their described challenge.
There are two separate sets of NBA 2K24 trophies and achievements, one for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and another for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The reason for this separation is that the current generation of consoles gets the full modern NBA 2K24 experience, unlike its predecessors and PC, which all receive a cut-down last-gen version of the game. This is reflected in the achievements, which wildly differ from one set of platforms to the other.
For what it’s worth, the old-gen consoles and PC can brag about a higher number of NBA 2K24 trophies and achievements, 50 to 45 (51 to 46 on PlayStation). If you like getting trophies, which you presumably do since you’re here, the old-gen version may not be too bad after all. The lists overlap for 13 accomplishments, 11 of which are achievable in MyTEAM. The other two can be completed via the special Mamba Moments mode.
Looking at the different trophies reveals a curious tendency. While old-gen achievements have at least a couple bones to throw to fans of modes like MyGM and MyLEAGUE, current-gen isn’t so gracious and has zero trophies in stock for these modes. If you’re among the niche group primarily playing NBA 2K24 for these game modes, you may be better off with the “old” version, at least as far as the achievements go.

If you are a completionist, it’s safe to say that you’ll have your time properly accommodated by all these trophies and accomplishments. Some of them could take weeks and even months to crack, but you can always help your cause by improving your jumpshot in MyCAREER, or lowering the difficulty settings, as long as you’re not morally obligated against such travesties, of course.
