Identify the package before the player

Write the animation category next to the package name. A recognizable player name can lead you to the wrong requirement if you switch from a dribble package to a jumper or another category.

The CourtIQ reference is deliberately limited to behind-the-back packages. It doesn't combine different categories into a single eligible-player list.

Practice toolOpen the animation requirement checker

Read height and rating as separate checks

Compare your height with both ends of the listed range. Then compare the required rating with your build. An attribute increase only resolves the rating part of that comparison.

The tool reports those two checks separately so that a rating gap doesn't hide a height mismatch. Its result means the displayed conditions match; it isn't a gameplay ranking or a promise that every other unlock condition has been met.

Record what the source actually establishes

The reference attributes each row to NBA2KLab and displays the date CourtIQ checked the page. That source check doesn't establish a CourtIQ game session or a platform-specific patch result.

Save the requirement you see in your own game with the package name, date and version. If it differs from the reference, use the in-game requirement for your decision and include that evidence in a correction.

Plan around the missing condition

If your height doesn't match, compare another package that fits the same job. If only the rating is short, record the gap and check whether your planned build can reach it.

When a Cap Breaker is part of the plan, use the previewed final value. A displayed gap tells you how far the rating is from the requirement; it doesn't tell you how many rewards you need.

Keep eligibility separate from performance

After you confirm access, test whether the animation helps with the possession you want to play. Record the starting situation and your exit into the next action, such as a pass or shot.

Meeting a threshold answers whether the listed conditions fit. Choosing an animation still depends on how you use it. Keep your comparisons complete and avoid selecting only the clips where the move worked.
