Re: Badging Thread

Does Posterizer make sense to put on him? He has 85 Vertical, 65 Driving Dunk, and 30 Contact Dunk. I know it would seem counter-intuitive given his low Contact Dunk rating, but MRR has 78,78,35 in those 3 categories and he can dunk on absolutely anyone (though he is 6'5 not 6'1). I've also seen folks report that Isiah dunks more than you'd expect him to and that with a Vertical/Driving Dunk shoe he turns into a mini Wallbrook.

I think that was me have a diamond standing/driving/contact dunk shoe on him and he throws it down. I have these badges on mine and he's a monster:

Defensive stopper
Rim protector
Corner Specialist
Deep range deadeye
Limitless
Posterizer

Re: Badging Thread

How would you badge up a Ruby Carmelo? I bought one the other day with a Diamond shoe, and I want to use him the way he plays in real life, so a lot of post and iso stuff. He comes with Mid Range Deadeye and Deep Range Deadeye, and the guy I bought him from put Tireless Scorer and Difficult Shots on him. So he has two slots left.

If his post control is high enough postspin and acrobat maybe? I know Melos cards have always been good at finishing near the rim

I figured Postspin is obvious. That's a big part of his game in real life.

Trying to decide between Acrobat and Bruiser. Leaning toward Bruiser, since so much of his game is post work and his defense is so-so. If I can drain his opponent's energy trying to guard him, that'll make him easier to guard on the other end.

My general feeling on Bruiser is that, in MyTeam, it's not very worthwhile. My rationale is that, usually, the bench backup is not really a step down from the starter. If so, not dramatically. Everyone runs 10 deep all-star/HoF quality players, so there's not a lot of point to reducing opponent's starters' minutes.

I'd rather buff my own players performnce. So I'd go with Acrobat, Relentless, Posterizer, or Post Spin.

Re: Badging Thread

How would you guys badge Amethyst Michael Jordan? I'll be running him as a second unit PG. I think Dimer is a no brainer and I'm going to add Bruiser as well. What would you do with the last four badge slots? Right now I'm looking at...

Catch & Shoot
Corner Specialist (activated even inside the 3PT line in the corners)
Post Spin Technician
Hustle Rebounder
Rim Protector (I know some say this works well even on guards)
Break Starter
Ankle Breaker

You should edit your post to note what badges he already has, which'll make it easier for people to give their advice without having to look this up.

I listed the badges I'm considering for him and said I can choose four. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

If you really needed a reference, it would've taken less time to look it up on 2KMTCentral than respond telling me to do it.

I wasn't intending to be pissy, or scold you. I was trying to give you a constructive suggestion to get more feedback.

But if you don't think it would be helpful, then so be it.

Re: Badging Thread

Did anybody badge up Diamond Kevin Durant?

Here's the badges that could apply to him he pretty much has almost every offensive badge. I went all defense with Defensive Stopper/Rim Protector/Pick Pocket/Pick dodger and have 2 slots left. I'm leaning Dimer and Bruiser or maybe Postspin his post ratings look solid

Bruiser
Dimer
Postspin
Brick Wall
Break starter
Chasedown

Re: Badging Thread

I would go with Dimer, and then either Post Spin if you use that move regularly, or Brick Wall otherwise. I don't think Bruiser is best with those options available.

Rim Protector for sure and then maybe Chase Down Artist?
