Re: Badging Thread

Does anybody have suggestions for Diamond Allstar Blake Griffin? I am thinking about putting catch and shoot and corner specialist to help him spread the defense out a little bit. But I am not sure if I should go with defensive stopper instead.

Why is it an either/or choice? He comes with 16 badges, so you should have room for pretty much anything that is important.

I would put all three of those on him, as well as Rim Protector as no-brainer must-haves.

Re: Badging Thread

Any ideas on how to badge ruby draymond? Comes with no badges so only 4 slots. This is what I'm thinking:

1. Defensive stopper
2. Rim protector
3. Catch and shoot
4. ??

I will mainly be using him during crunch times to get key defensive stops or when I wanna play switch all defense for a few mins. Do you guys think corner specialist is worth the last slot if I'm already giving him catch and shoot?

His steal rating is already very high so I don't think pick pocket is needed.

Kind of tempted to give him one man fast break for the times he does get the rebound and I can just run the break with him.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Re: Badging Thread

I sniped like crazy this week to get one of my favorite players, and last night I won a bid on Diamond Anthony Davis. 5 of his 6 extra badge slots are full:

Catch & Shoot
Mid-Range Deadeye
Corner Specialist
Post Spin Technician
Relentless Finisher

I'm deciding between three badges for the last slot. What do you guys think?

Dimer
Pick Pocket
Difficult Shots

because i love postplay, and he is quite strong for a pf (and compared to other AD Versions), id rather go with dropstepper

Stupid question, but is strength the attribute that most determines the success of a drop step, or is it some other attribute?

Post control? I know that's what (everyone assumes) controls Post Spin ability.

That would make sense. I've seen others say that the defender's lateral quickness and low post defense IQ also likely play a role. I just wasn't sure if the drop step was considered a power or a speed move from the offensive player's perspective. AD's post control is excellent, so maybe I should look at adding drop stepper. I'm just not sure that would be more valuable than Pick Pocket or Dimer.

Re: Badging Thread

You need a player with high strength to use drop step effectively. You get easy dunks if you can back defenders down and drop step close to the rim.

With Dimer, you have to ask yourself how often you're going to pass with him. When I pass to my bigs, that's usually the last pass of the possession (post moves are incredibly OP), so Dimer would be of no use to me.

Regardless, I don't think strength is the determining att. Pick Pocket would be very useful. Dropsteps are so OP that I'd have a hard time not picking that one.

You're definitely starting to sway me. My thoughts on Dimer are that it helps on kickouts after offensive rebounds, which I'm hoping AD will be getting plenty of because he's got a very high OReb rating and I usually crash the offensive glass. As for Pick Pocket, he's already got a high steal rating but adding Pick Pocket might make him a demon at stripping people in the post. I paid 282K for him, so I can't afford to screw this up haha

Re: Badging Thread

Pick pocket and it's not even close. Steals matter at every phase and every difficulty of the game.

Need a force pickup? Steal. Need to stop a drop step? Steal. Beat by an offensive board? Steal.

I would imagine Strength and Post Control. Animation might also be consequential...I never tried to examine if different guys have different drop-step animations, the way there are different post-fades or different post hooks.

Drop-Step would be totally logical on AD. Dimer is logical on anyone.

And I think Pick Pocket makes a hell of a lot of sense. If you run him at 5, one of the most effective ways he can defend against post-up play is by stripping the ball.

This decision gets harder and harder haha. The reason why I didn't have drop stepper on my original list is that I haven't used that move a lot. I prefer post spins, hooks and fades.. If it really is tied to strength, I'm less inclined to put it on a AD. You make great points about pick pocket. I guess it all depends on whether I think I'll have more opportunities to steal with him or more opportunities to kick out to a shooter out of double teams or offensive rebounds.
