NBA 2K21 Takeover Boost stat attributes will vary depending on which Takeover you choose. This guide will show what attributes get boosted the most for each specific Takeover.

While NBA 2K21 has made some additions to other modes, like new Classic Teams in Play Now, most 2K players are focused on improving their MyPlayer. Activating your MyPlayer's Takeover is a great way to get an advantage on the court, but it can be unclear as to what specific attributes are receiving boosts throughout the duration of it.

While you hopefully won't need Takeover to nail a free throw, this guide will help you understand what boosts you're getting during your Takeover.

NBA 2K21 Takeover Boost: All Major Stat Boosts for Each Takeover

Every Takeover will boost most MyPlayer attributes by +5 and a few by +10. Even if you have an attribute in the 90's, it will still get boosted by 10. For example, a Sharp Shooter with 99 Three Point Shot would see it boosted to 109 during Takeover.

Every Takeover will also provide some Takeover-specific animations that your MyPlayer can pull off when it's active. Below are the biggest boosts for each Takeover, but for a full breakdown check out NBA 2K Lab.
