Okay, big men… what finishing badges are you using?

Okay, big men, what are you doing with your badges… particularly your finishing badges.

Ive seen plenty of articles about “BEST FINISHING BADGES IN 2k22!” but they all seem to be aimed at slashers, not the post bigs.

Between backdown punisher, dream shake, dropstepper, fast twitch, fearless finisher, grace under pressure, hook specialist, mouse in the house, post spin technician, posterizer, putback boss, rise up, and slithery finisher, there are a LOT of badges for the post scoring big man, and that’s not even counting unstrippable and tear dropper And pro touch and lob city finisher and limitless takeoff and so on…

So, big men, what are you doing (or planning to do) with your finishing badges? Which ones are you focusing on? Are you going many lower rated badges, or few HoF ones?

BTW, I think I am going to try most badges on silver or so, instead of just a few at HoF. I think having a relatively positive impact on 12 or so variables is more important than a big positive impact on only 4.

Mouse in the house, dropstepper, and pro touch are MUSTS for bigs this year.

Have a 94 center (Played a whole bunch of rec so just purely from an online perspective)
All you want is:
Fast-twitch
Grace under pressure
Put back boss

Others are optional
Backdown pusher - You will hardly get the ball in the post so don't bother
posterizer/rise up - Standing dunks are almost non-existent this year even with these two on hall of fame
Pro touch - You want to turn your layup timing off especially online and this badge only works if you have it on
Hook shot - See backdown pusher
Mouse in the house - Its alright - If you make an undersize center obviously it is useless
Dream shake - See hook and backdown - If you get someone with a pump fake you are going to score regardless of a boost from this badge

Again this is purely for Rec - Against the CPU they are all good

Since I usually make a Shaq-like build, this is what I run with...

Posterizer
Rise Up
Drop Stepper
Mouse in the House
Fast Twitch
Grace Under Pressure
Put Back Boss
Lob city finisher on bronze

When I got mouse on ayton in test I was like aiigh. I got two dudes cuz they made 6 10 for contract. Rip my 6 9 c standard build. Anyway went 7 3 cuz speed and contact changes n don’t regret. Got 28 fins. I always take pro touch first; I’d take unstrip or w e. Both contacts, grace. Hook prol.

I loved being a space eater back when guards who couldn’t shoot were jumping under rim w their bigs. I think we’re back to big bigs but lesse. I know my dude is stupid even at low rating w o my 25 (gold o well) d badges. Be big, kids. This is your moment.

If you don't use shot timing on layups, does pro touch actually do anything?

Also, I haven't seen Grace Under Pressure show up often as being activated. Is it showing up for other people?

And man, I'm not getting many standing dunks this year. Like, barely any. And I'm 7 foot with like a 95 standing dunk I'm still not HoF on posterizer or rise up though, so...?

Grace under pressure probably pops up more than anything, that and Mouse in the house, even for guys an inch shorter it seems, lol
