FYI legend badges is all a scam they created legend badges to make your build less of a “one build does all”. it forces you to make more builds, and more archetype like builds like 2k21 and previous 2ks. Legend badges are purely for that. and i guarantee you the difference between HOF and legend is severely insignificant compared to the jump from silver to gold and gold to hof

[@EA-hz9mg]

5:26 75 is low AF. I’d say 80 is a good sweet spot. Guards are fast af and an 80 will stop any 6’6” or higher.

75 is decent with the right defensive badges. But it also means u gotta have better defensive IQ

Put agility on your build even if you not maxing it or guarding ball. You want to be able to guard back doors and off ball movement as well. Me personally gonna but 75 agility on my big.

Agility is amazing if you have a big wing that can do chase down blocks. Allows you to slide your feet, get a bump, and then block the layup/dunk off the gather.

[@brandonslaughter2410]

I know he's testing and what not but it's different when you're actually playing the game. I was at a 70 agility when I first made my build (it can go up to 80), I went from 70-72 and I swear it was a MAJOR difference in how my player moved around the court. It just FELT better. Agility plays a huge part in your build. Now you may not need A LOT of agility but you're gonna need it. 100%

[@SirButtah]

I made my player based off Kobe, and the average shooting guards abilities. Kobe is top tier PerD and Agility, so I made my build 92 PerD and 88 Agility. I wanted an all around player, so I didn't go too crazy, but those are intended to be my bread and butter attributes. I felt the difference after going from 60's to 70's in agility. I notice the couple points I pour in at a time in every stat. Blocks and rebounds for sure are impactful. Lowkey wish I would have given a few more points there, especially boosting my 30 Oboards. Rarely get any of them, but I gobble glass at 60 DReb.

[@alatashman5641]

Can a 85 agility and 85 speed work ? For a 6'6 sg

interveptor is very very good. at silver im at least tipping the ball anytime i reach in a lane that im somewhat in. ive even gotten some i wouldn’t have expected silver to get. can’t say much for how much better the higher levels are but unless you’re a lock i wouldn’t expect higher than gold and lock would have the steal anyways.

Can we test stuff like this in smaller amounts too , like does a 5-15 point make a difference?

[@EazyMagicx]

I'm just going to say this. If you're a LOCK, your agility needs to be at 84 MINIMUM with cap breakers available to get to 86! I would prefer it to be 86 at Minimum so you can get On Ball Menace at Legendary with 99 perimeter defense if your Perimeter defense is at 95 or 96. Other than the minimum(s) for animations or badge requirements/cap breakers to help your build's potential. Other than that, it would be smart to just try to max it out if you're a lock.

[@isiight.]

Cap. Reported for misinformation

If your a lock that has to rely on 95+ perimeter to play defense you shouldn't be a lock down cause that is so expensive in the build there's not point in doing it 92 perimeter is perfect for a lock that wants to guard positions 1 through 5 and 80 agility is the sweet spot for a lock that wants to have block and immovable enforcer
