Thoughts on dribbling badges

[Erithtotl]

There are so many this year and it's not always clear which kick in when. First step, ankle breaker tight handles, space creator, first step, stop and start.

Which so u find most useful and is it better to spread badges amongst them or go for gold on one or two first? I have ankle breaker gold abs don't amuse it trigger much but first step fires all the time

ankle breaker to me is useless, i took it off, but the other badges you named kick it more than often for me

I've seen it once or twice, but ankle breaker animations seem to be down this year which IMO is a good thing.

I never cared much for trying to break ankles, but the ankle breaker badge always seemed to speed up your dribbling animations. I'm not sure if that's still the case this year. If so, this badge seems pretty useless. I had it on gold and haven't noticed a difference after dropping it to silver. Might take it off completely

I'd love to get some more info on stop and go and tight handles, both of which sound great, but I rarely (if ever) see them activate while playing.

2k really needs to give more info on badges and what they do in game. Grinding for badges is the most important part of mycareer hands down and yet the amount of information we have available to us as to what these badges actually do and what ratings you need to maximize them is extremely disappointing

A lot of the playmaking badges seem worthless or are truly hit or miss. I'm still in the testing stages of figuring out what's best to equip. SMH

Space Creator is useless. Had it on gold and never activated once in my career. I’ve tried everything. Snatch backs, step backs...doesn’t activate on my playmaking sharp. I’ve since put my badges to needle threader which works a a lot and dimer to gold. I’m going to hold out hope for stop and go. I think that could be useful to run to the three point line on fast breaks before smashing sprint to attack the basket.

Handles for days and unpluckable probably not as OP as people want but it works fine for me

I still don't think downhill badge works like it should online, or at least in park. I've had it on Hof how a while now and haven't noticed much speration from bigs in transition.

space creator for me activated when i do a step back jumper, seems to get more ankle breakers than the actual ankle breaker badge lol

This. I am pretty sure it depends on your takeover selection. My my player takeover is shot creator and I actually get ankle breakers from step backs all the time with space creator equipped and ankle breaker unequipped. Ankle Breaker did not seem to do much for me except causing a stumble occasionally. However, I made some created players through the traditional method and the player with the playmaker takeover was dropping people flat every time he was in takeover.
