Shooting Badges

 

↖ Agent 3

Agent 3 badge is the number one shooting badge to have in NBA 2K23. It provides a significant boost in make percentage at the hall of fame level and is easy to trigger. When used in combination with other badges, it can help you to green more shots at a higher rate.

 

↖ Quick First Step

Quick First Step badge provides a burst of speed when you speed boost, and the higher it goes, the quicker it gets. When used together with the Agent 3 badge, it creates a separation that you can use to trigger Agent 3 and give you a higher make percentage. Quick First Step at the gold level gives you an additional 8% speed, which can help you get more open shots.

 

↖ Blinders

The Blinders badge is a great badge to consider as it helps increase your make percentage against decent contests. It allows you to shoot without being too affected by the defender's presence, making it easier for you to hit your shots.

 

↖ Green Machine

Green Machine badge is another excellent shooting badge to have. After making two green shots, this badge can push your make percentage possibly into the 100% make range at the hall of fame levels. It allows you to hit more shots consistently, especially when you're on a roll.

 

↖ Limitless Range

Limitless Range badge is a badge that allows you to take shots from further out than usual. Although it doesn't stack with the Agent 3 badge, it can be used in combination with other badges to increase your chances of making shots.

 

Playmaking Badges

 

↖ Handles for Days 

Handles for Days badge is a great badge to stack with Quick First Step. It saves you stamina as you dribble more, allowing you to make more moves and create separation from your defenders.

 

↖ Clamp Breaker

The Clamp Breaker badge allows you to quickly shed off your defender as you're dribbling or driving. When used together with Quick First Step, it creates even more separation, making it easier for you to get open and make shots.

 

When you stack these badges together, you'll have a potent combination that increases your chances of making your shots and getting open. For example, Quick First Step at the gold level gives you a plus 8% speed boost, which creates a separation that you can use to trigger Agent 3 at the gold level and give you a plus 8% make percentage.

 

Conclusion:

These are the top 5 shooting and playmaking badges of NBA 2K23 that you should consider having on your player. Each badge offers unique benefits that can help you make shots and get open. Remember that badges work best when paired together, so try to stack them to create a more potent combination.
