It does, when your layup or dunk is challenged by someone with with RP it'll show your badge level demoted on the badge icon pop up. If you have gold it'll pop up as bronze and If the person has HOF RP this [emoji724]would pop up on the display. They don't have to block the shot just contest. If a card gets his shot block by someone with RP he'll get cold for a few possessions.

Re: Badging Thread
My impression of rim protector is that is does not counter badges. That is what defensive stopper does. Rim protector simply lowers the percentage of the opposing shots around the basket from going in. And also may increase chance of blocking.Comment

Re: Badging Thread
Doh...I meant Quick 2 Swing, not Quick 2 Flow. If one wants to delve deep into the play, I think the way to optimize it is to make sure that: 1) the shooter obviously has high 3-point ratings, quick release, and optimally can also drive off the catch, 2) the two screeners both have Brick Wall, 3) the penultimate pass recipient, who holds the ball, is a driving/post-spin threat and has Dimer.
Most of my PGs have Brick Wall, so they set effective screens when they initiate the play, but it works even better when you've got a big SF like Worthy or Melo setting that screen.Comment

It does counter inside scoring badges. Watch the video, Shaq has gold RP and Rose has gold acrobat.
You can see a bronze acrobat pop up on the top right corner with a red arrow pointing down. It even says acrobat dropped to bronze by opponent. Shaq doesn't has defensive stopper his RP demoted Rose's gold acrobat with a contest. It was kind of hard driving for the layup with one hand and contesting it with the other.Last edited by Scramz718; 03-28-2017, 09:19 PM.Comment

Re: Badging Thread
I sold my badged up Amy for 30K and bought a mostly badged (All bronzes upgraded to gold, plus gold catch & shoot and ankle breaker) Diamond Harden for 38K. I spent another 5K badging him up how I wanted and sniped another Harden in the process. After that sold, I essentially spent 10K to upgrade to a fully badged Diamond. I went all offense with my badges because I want him to be an unstoppable force on my second unitComment

Re: Badging Thread
My Amethyst did have gold ankle breaker. With Harden's strong ball control and excellent dribbling moves, I definitely recommend it.End Game Lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/10...ine-end-lineup

Re: Badging Thread
Thanks for the help. I'm really struggling with choosing ankle breaker or posterizer for his last badge slot. Do you have a recommendation?Comment

Re: Badging Thread
I think it just depends on how you want to use him. If he's your primary ball handler and you like to go 1 on 1 from time to time, I'd probably go with ankle breaker. If you're using him more off ball as a spot up shooter or slasher then I'd go with posterizer.End Game Lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/10...ine-end-lineup

Re: Badging Thread
My problem is also that my reaction time is not good and I tend to miss the window of opportunity that the ankle broken animation gives me.
Posterizer does its thing without me having to actively exploit it.Comment

Re: Badging Thread
I'm looking at switching out Penny for Diamond GP. His badging is already awesome (4 HOF defensive badges!). I think I've got a good list of the 6 badges he needs most, but I'm always learning something about the value of various badges in this thread. Could Payton use anything besides:
Relentless Finisher
Rim Protector
Bruiser
Post Spin Technician
Deep Range Deadeye
Limitless RangeEnd Game Lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/10...ine-end-lineup

My list was:
1. Rim Protector
2. Deep-Range Deadeye
3. Limitless Range
4. Brick Wall
5. Hustle Rebounder
6. Bruiser
7. Dream-Like Up & Under
8. Post Spin Tech
I would be inclined to emphasize post game over outside shooting game, so to get to 6, would remove Deep Deadeye and Limitless. Potentially keep those, or one of them, and take out Hustle Rebounder and/or Bruiser.
To me, post-up game is bread-and-butter for GP and I'd look to heavily feature that, in conjunction with moving midrange game, insofar as I focus on GP in offense at all.
Other people have other thoughts and priorities, so peep the earlier conversation.Comment

Re: Badging Thread
Good call. I totally glossed over that because I wasn't thinking of picking up Payton until I pulled MJ late last night. I probably wouldn't have been able to afford him without that lucky pull. Now the possibilities are endless!End Game Lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/10...ine-end-lineup

Re: Badging Thread
I personally would go Posterizer. Ankle Breaker is nice, but I try to avoid doing a lot of the Turbo size-ups, because of Stamina. Though, I guess, with a deep team...who cares?
My problem is also that my reaction time is not good and I tend to miss the window of opportunity that the ankle broken animation gives me.
Posterizer does its thing without me having to actively exploit it.
This, along with Nickstank's advice, led me to choose Posterizer. I really value Harden in the half-court offense, and try to minimize my turbo usage with him to keep his stamina up. It's the reason why, although I thinks it's a very underrated badge, I didn't put One Man Fast Break on him. I want Harden walking the ball up, creating highly efficient half-court offense, and playing 13+ minutes if needed.
After giving him Gold Posterizer this afternoon, I played an MTO game in Ruby League. I focused on driving for the dunk in spots I would otherwise consider a floater, a pull-up midrange shot, or a pass. He went 5-6 on dunks, all of them at least somewhat contested. I noticed he definitely goes in for the dunk animation more often with the Posterizer badge (as opposed to a layup attempt). Basically every time I pressed shoot while driving inside the free-throw line he tried to dunk.

On a related note, is there a consensus here about whether Relentless Finisher has benefit beyond preserving energy? I'm assuming the answer is yes, based on the frequency that I see it mentioned/recommended here. Any details? I didn't see anything about the badge at 2klabs.Remember your roots:
