How to Change Emote Animation in NBA 2K19

In NBA 2K19, you can add personality to your MyPLAYER by using a variety of emotes while walking around the Neighborhood. These emotes are fun, expressive animations that allow you to stand out and have a little extra fun while playing. If you’re looking to change your emotes, here’s how you do it!
Access The MyPLAYER Animations Menu
- Open the Navigation Menu by pressing Start (or Options on your console).
- Select the MyPLAYER option to access the player customization screen.
- From here, select the My Animations tab to enter the animation menu, where you’ll be able to change various animations for your MyPLAYER, including emotes.
Change Your Emotes on the My Animations Screen
Once you’re on the My Animations screen, you can customize your emotes by scrolling to the far right of the menu. You’ll find the Emotes option here. But before you can start customizing:
- Emotes are locked at the start: You won’t have any emotes equipped when you first begin. To get emotes, head over to the Animation Store (located next to the My Animations tab). Here, you can browse and purchase emotes with VC (Virtual Currency). As you progress in the game and level up, additional emotes will unlock for purchase.
Selecting and Equipping Emotes
- Visit the Animation Store: In the Animation Store, you can browse through various emotes available for purchase. Emotes range from celebratory moves to funny, silly actions that will make your MyPLAYER more unique.
- Equip Your Emotes: After purchasing your favorite emotes, go back to the My Animations screen and scroll all the way to the right to the Emotes section. From here, you can select the emotes you want to equip and use them in the Neighborhood.
Changing your emote animations is a great way to inject some personality into your MyPLAYER and make them stand out among the other players in the Neighborhood. So, head over to the Animation Store, pick up some cool new emotes, and start expressing yourself on the court!
