NBA 2K24 Affiliations Elite or Rise
When you start NBA 2K24 MyCAREER mode the first quest you receive is Affiliations: ELITE or RISE. This quest tasks you with picking which affiliate you wish to join. To learn more about this decision and how to make it, see our complete NBA 2K24 Affiliations Elite or Rise quest guide below.
How to Start Affiliations: ELITE or RISE in NBA 2K24
To start this quest jump into the MyCAREER mode and make your way to the City. When you login to the City for the first time you will get a notification to talk to Chris Manning and ShakeDown in the City.
To find both of these NPCs you need to visit the location south of spawn just outside the large event stadium. Here you will encounter both Chris Manning and ShakeDown. Approach them to trigger a cutscene. During this cutscene you learn that there are two Affiliations in the City. You must make a decision on which to join. Both teams offer interesting bonuses for you if you join them.
Join RISE NBA 2K24 Rewards
If you choose to join RISE (ShakeDown) you will get the following rewards: Rise Player Banner, Rise Ball, and new gameplay bonuses such as access to the Daily Spin wheel. The gameplay bonuses are Heat Check boost and +1 to Finishing and Playmaking Attributes.
Join ELITE Rewards in NBA 2K24 Rewards
If you choose to join ELITE (Chris Manning) you will get the following rewards: Elite Player Banner, Elite Ball, and new gameplay bonuses such as access to the Daily Spin wheel. The gameplay bonuses are Two-Way Tenacity and +1 to Defense and Shooting Attributes.
Should You Choose RISE or ELITE in NBA 2K24?
You may be wondering which of the Affiliations you should select. The answer is that it depends. The decision here is largely based on what your character build is focused on. If you are a speedy playmaker it will make sense to go for RISE while defensive 3&D players will want to go ELITE.
When you do decide which of the Affiliations you want to join speak to the NPC associated with that squad. They will give you a quest to complete to unlock Affiliation with that club you must complete on the ELITE or RISE Courts.
Another quest you can complete at this time is meeting Jake from State Farm. This quest, when completed, unlocks the State Farm outfit for players to wear around the City.
