The "Other" (Emotional?) Badges?

[2kNerd]

Are these still in the game and in MyTeam? I don't see them when I look at a player's card. I'm referring to Defensive Anchor, Closer, Prime Time, etc.

Are these a factor in MyTeam?

Is there a way to view them in the game or in MyTeam?

I see they are listed on this site - http://2kmtcentral.com

Just curious...was kinda bummed not to see them when looking at MyTeam cards.

Look at this Jordan, scroll down on the right by the badges. He has closer, prime time and volume shooter and a bunch of others that were badges. But now they are traits and they cannot be improved or added

Okay...so they are in the game - there is just no way to look at them in MyTeam before you buy a card in the Auction House.

I did see them if I click R3 in the box score after a game. I just wish they were visible when viewing the card in the AH and when creating my lineups in MyTeam. Oh well...

They're there but no way to confirm if they're activating. Used to be able to see ratings boosts in pause menu.

Hmmm...I wonder if they are. I would assume if they are in the game, they are working...but you know what they say about assuming.

I like to know and use them when building a team. In past years, I noticed a bump from things like Floor General and Defensive Anchor...along with other boosts like Closer and Spark Plug when players are used in certain roles.

I will have to pay attention and see if I notice anything.

dude, you are a nerd...and I mean that in a good way.
most people dont even pay attention to this stuff, but its oh so important to know.

Dominique has a 68 standing 3 for instance. if he gets a pass from Floor General with Dimer, his rating should be a 72 at least. further boosted if he gets hot. with 2 red rings he could potentially be around 80 rating for example. Also, Rob Horry is a deadly 3 point shooter in closing minutes due to his high shot ratings and Closer badge!
