How to Change Pre-Game Rituals in NBA 2K19

In NBA 2K19, Pre-Game Rituals offer a fun and unique way to get hyped before a game. These rituals are triggered before the tip-off, giving your MyPLAYER a custom intro. If you want to change your Pre-Game Rituals, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
Access the MyPLAYER Animations Menu
To start, you’ll need to access the MyPLAYER Animations menu. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Navigation menu from the main screen.
- Select the MyPLAYER option.
- This will bring you to a screen with multiple options. Choose MyPLAYER Animations to enter the Animations menu.
Changing Your Pre-Game Rituals
Once you’re in the Animations menu, you’ll be able to change your Pre-Game Rituals. But there’s an important thing to note:
- Pre-Game Rituals are not available at the start. You will need to level up and purchase them from the Animation Store, located on the tab just right of the My Animations tab.
- Pre-Game Rituals cost VC, so you’ll need to earn or purchase enough VC to buy them.
After purchasing, follow these steps:
- Scroll to the right until you find the Pre-Game Rituals card.
- Here, you can choose from a variety of available rituals to use in NBA, Park, or Pro-Am games.
- After selecting your desired rituals, you’ll see them in action before your games.
Tips for Customizing Your Pre-Game Rituals
- Match your playstyle: If you want a more high-energy vibe before games, choose flashy and dramatic rituals. For a more relaxed style, pick rituals that are subtler.
- Experiment with different rituals: Feel free to switch up your rituals based on the situation, such as using a different ritual for your Park games vs. NBA games.
Once you’ve set your Pre-Game Rituals, you’ll be able to enjoy your personalized intro every time you load into a game!
