Badging Thread

Re: Badging Thread

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.

Also, dimer is a badge that gets dropped by defensive stopper and pick pocket as far as I know doesn't.

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.

I love my Ruby Dray, use him as a defensive specialist so added DStopper, Rim Protector, Hustle Rebounder and Pick Pocket. Pick Pocket was the last one I added and it feels like he gets less fouls and forces more pickup animations than before.

Pick pocket definitely seems to increase the steal rate and since he plays the 4, it'd be great on him since most 4s can't dribble. I use the Steal shoe on Wallace to take him up to a 99. That badge lights up like christmas. But on my W.Reed who also has a really high Stl rating (w/shoe), he doesn't get as many steals because I haven't given him the badge.

Re: Badging Thread

Does anyone know if HOF Def stopper/ Def Anchor boosts other guys with gold def stopper to HOF.


I have Walt Frazier who comes with HOF Def stopper, and when he's on the court I see the purple HOF def stopper activate for my Amethyst Giannis, Diamond Vince and others. At first I thought it was a bug, but now I'm wondering if its because of Walt's def anchor.


Anyone else notice something like this?

Re: Badging Thread

Pierce pretty much has all the best badges expect Dimer and Post Spin.

I would add:

Dimer
Post Spin Technician
Drop Stepper
Rim Protector
PnR Maestro
Brick Wall

I'd add Dimer, PNR Maestro, Brick Wall, Hustle Rebounder, and Rim Protector for the first 5.

The last one for whichever you use most: Post Spin, Tear Dropper, or Drop Stepper.


Great screenname btw!

Re: Badging Thread

You guys are forgetting about one man fast break! That is a crucial badge IMO on every single wing player in the game, regardless of speed. The badge increases their finishing rate at the basket off a turnover. They don't need to be the one stealing it or speeding up, just the one finishing.

I added: Dimer, PnR Maestro, Rim Protector, Hustle Rebounder, and One Man Fast Break.

I still have 1 more badge left and tbh I don't even think I will fill that slot.

Re: Badging Thread

What badges do y'all think are good for pd Elgin Baylor (he's got 6 slots)?

Here's what he has:

Acrobat
Difficult Shots
Tireless Scorer
Relentless Finisher
Midrange Deadye
Flashy passer
One man fastbreak

That's weird. I didn't think that the badge functions this way but perhaps (one of) the way(s) it functions is to virtually buff defensive badging.

Have you seen any other nonsensical HoF defensive badges firing, or just HoF Def Stopper for guys who only have Gold?

When you switch players some times there is a delay and you see purple badges from the previous player. For example, I switch off Shaq and see Vince with purple bruiser.

I don't think the purple badges are transferred to other players. I just think its a delayed pop up from your previous user'd player.

I'm going defensive stopper,catch & shoot, corner specialist on mine.
Then, I'm considering either limitless range, posterizer, deep range dead eye, or hustle rebounder.

I'm thinking...

-Defensive Stopper
-Catch & Shoot
-Deep Range Deadeye
-Bruiser
-Post Spin Technician (if you play Baylor at the 2, he'll have a strength advantage over most SGs, so I think his post game, and therefore Bruiser and Post Spin Technician, will be a key component to using him effectively)

I'm torn on the last slot, and I'm choosing between

-Posterizer (92 spd w/ball and 85 driving dunk)
-Dimer (good to have on just about anyone, especially if he's being used as a secondary ball handler)
-Corner Specialist (makes him an even more deadly shooter in conjunction with Catch & Shoot and Deep Range Deadeye)

Re: Badging Thread

Maybe try and play a few games with him and see how you use him in the flow of a game. Look at his shot chart and see how often you are shooting with him from the corner zones. If you're very disciplined about shot selection, you may take more uncontested corner threes with him, than contested threes in all zones.

I think Dimer is just about a must-have if you move the ball around a lot or for a player who will pass out to a shooter. I think Baylor qualifies as the latter, for sure, given that you'll want to ISO him and post up on weaker guards/wings.

Posterizer is useful in obvious ways.

I would personally consider taking the three you are choosing between for the last spot, use them all, and take out Deep Range Deadeye and Bruiser.

And if you're primarily going to post up, I would consider making room for Dreamlike Up & Under. But you probably need to play with him in the post for a while to get a feel for his moves and how much you want to emphasize that part of his game.

How do you see a players shot chart?
