Though a well-versed NBA 2K player could reasonably deduce the full list of badges in 2K23 based on what’s missing from this list that hasn’t been declared as removed following last year’s game, we’ve refrained from building out such a list for now just in case the team hasn’t landed on a final tally yet.

Challenger – Improves the effectiveness of perimeter shot contests.

Hand Down Man Down – Makes an outside shooter even deadlier if opponent fails to get a hand in the face.

Comeback Kid – Improved ability to shoot perimeter jumpers when trailing in a game.

Claymore – Increases a spot up shooter’s ability to knock down catch- and-shoot jumpers the longer they remain stationary prior to shooting.

Middy Magician – Improved ability to knock down mid-range jumpers off the bounce or out of the post like MJ.

Agent 3 – Ability to hit difficult 3PT shots off the dribble.

Bully – Like Giannis and LeBron, able to finish strong by bulldozing through traffic.

Masher – Increases ability to finish inside layups over defenders.Slithery – Makes it easier to gather through traffic, avoiding collisions and strips.With that in mind, here’s the full list of 20 new badges, changed badges, and 12 badges that have been outright removed for 2K23. Core badges don’t count toward your overall badge points, but can only be placed in a core badge slot once their related challenge is completed. This is meant to cause players to make tougher choices when deciding which badges to equip, thus bringing more balance to game modes where many custom players are interacting together, such as in the game’s social hub, The City.Īlong with tiers, there are new “core” badge slots that allow you to slot in one badge for each skill area: finishing, shooting, playmaking, and defense/rebounding. Visual Concepts says the idea behind this new system “is that you’ll need to equip a certain number of badges in the lower tiers before you can equip badges in the highest.” From there, each tier gets more powerful and costly. This year’s game–on new-gen versions only–reimagines the badge system you may be used to into a three-tier system, with Tier 1 badges costing the least but also providing the smallest boosts.

With custom players come badges, which grant skills in different areas of a player’s game, such as shooting and defense. More than perhaps any other sports sim, the customizable MyPlayer system in NBA 2K is really the annual draw, more than MyTeam or season-long modes.
