[@alonzobarnes302]

Correct analysis. Using lightning launch (LL) as example. I have multiple builds with HOF LL that I max plus 1 to Legend. My speed while dribbling the ball after the initial dribble launch doesn’t change. However, my dribble launches are faster and my ability to blow by a defender increases.

[@freemines209]

basically legend LL better than Hof LL, is this not self explanatory?

[@alonzobarnes302]

@ lol yes a legend badge is better than a HOF badge but that wasn’t the question or purpose of the video

Max +1 on badges just increases overall probabilities to special abilities. For example, Posterizer on from Silver to Max +1 to Gold, just means you have a high ceiling to pull off posters.

[@Davoiceofart]

Max+1 on badges that’s tied to other attributes caps are less effective. Max+1 silver to gold poster with bare minimum vert attribute for silver is a nightmare.

[@unknown183]

@@Davoiceofart At gold it works wonders and my dunk attribute is in the 80s.

[@CooCooCallum]

That's exactly what the badge is supposed to do like I don't understand what you're saying

[@Davoiceofart]

I should have used bronze to silver as an example, the vertical requirement is 65 for Bronze and 75 for silver. Not to mention speed with ball factors in (not directly tied to posterizer badge) but if you’re not fast enough to get into position to take advantage of the boost max +1 badge gives you then it’s worthless. It’s a lot of attributes tied to dunking. It’s better if your attributes are closer to the max +1 badge you’re going for. .

@@raiderjedi4160 you need to be going for a specific badge (or no badge) on every single attribute, no more or no less than that specific badge requirement you’re going for. That’s how you optimize builds.

@@raiderjedi4160 ong lmfao. The only way I’d ever do that is if I was trying to replicate a Westbrook or D Rose build which I’d never actually do because in my opinion they are bad unoptimized builds to try and make lol. I think the highest justifiable vert for a PG with contact dunks is like 85 or so

[@CallMeBane]

This is exactly why I tell people when they’re choosing their max +1 use a takeover that is taking up attributes to match your max +1. For example. I have a build with 89 mid range, if I choose a takeover that boosts midrange/ three point the ideal +1 would be set shot specialist in tier one and tier two maybe shifty shooter, since the attributes align with the badge it’ll be like you actually have the badge cause the attributes match the requirements with takeover.

[@MajinsRoom]

He smart 😌

[@jondoe7237]

Tutes I think you need quality control.. these goofys want to test anything just to test it. We appreciate u but some of these recommendations are way out the box of critical thinking

[@nba2ktutes]

It's good that you are kinda switched on in terms of understanding the game, but the scope of my audience is big and sometimes i have to cater on the other side of my audience as well. If you think you know the topic already, maybe just don't click on it so you don't waste your time. Thanks for the suggestion

[@ShengFink]

I understand what you’re saying, but couldn’t this be tested offline using one player with 91 swb and legend lightning launch and one player with 94 swb and legend lightning launch for example?

[@finn54123]

What is there to test, obv the 94 swb would be quicker if they both just have legend lightning launch?

[@nba2ktutes]

That's the normal test I do. What players want to know is maybe there's something else going on when the badge was obtained though Max +1 perk.

[@GlitchMeToInfinity]

Could you just have a really low rebound character and slowly increase his rebound until he got your threshold animation? That would allow you to see how much the tier +1 actually does. You could do it with every level as you increase it

[@MacheteMafia]

yeah I feel like the MAX +1 just gives you better chance of triggering animations or make the shot. EX. I MAX+1 Posterizer from hall of fame to legend and you will get more contact Dunks

[@Spoofaged]

From silver to gold poster, it doesn't really do much of anything tho

[@RCtheRuthless]

Appreciate your time and effort, keep it going and I’ll keep watching

[@nba2ktutes]

Thanks for the love my friend!

[@vtricko2391]

I think a way you can test it is just by giving a player with the gold badge attributes but have them equip a badge that’s a tier up. For example have a player with 91 steal (enough for gold glove) but equip hof glove on them

[@Dimendot]

I feel all attributes do is unlock animations and badges determine success rate. I say this because I made both a 99 middy/85 3pt & a 99 3pt/85 middy and shooting feels the exact same on both.

[@shottizxy]

THANK YOU SOME ONE SAID IT THE TRUTH'S OF THIS GOOFY GAME 😊

[@GodInHisPrime]

he just did a video on this and that's not accurate. However, an 85 three can feel almost close to a 99 if you're shooting at the line because you have legend set shot specialist. Same thing for a fading middy, you may have an 85 but you have legend shifty shooter... the main difference between both builds is shooting deep 3s or contested shots in general

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

99 middy is definitely better than 85 with the same badges

[@kaielynkey6148]

Nah 99 mid definitely feels better than 85 mid but you'll feel it most on contests

[@RF-bt7dh]

Test if you make more 3s if you’re left vs right handed

[@bigdee4u2]

I think one of the issues is they reset every season so you have to earn it every time. Imo if we are forced to earn it and it takes a reward slot from us getting a different reward at 15 & 30 Everytime it should seem more impactful or it'll seem as if 2k is selling us short by giving us the same rewards. Imagine if they took back the cap breaker we earn at level 40 because to me it's pretty useless by itself but if we earn 1 each season then by season 5 or 6 combined become something to shoot for. So maybe each season have them become a +1 but maybe like the elevators allow us to put a badge in the max +1 and make it permanent? Just spitballing but I'm sure the developers could come up with something like this

[@sandrosilva5865]

Can you test if height matters in dunking? I wanna make a dunk build but i don´t know if i go for 6´4ft to have higher speed with ball and the small contact dunk animations, or if i can go for a 6´7 build, I´ve always had this question, does height influence dunk makes percentage?

[@Rhino2854]

All I’m saying is this, I used my +1’s on post lockdown and rebound chaser cause I play rec and every center is a pure inside with 99 O board and 95+ post control and strength. First quarter I got killed on boards and in the post even with badge +1, but once my takeover started building (I get + D/O board and + Strength ) I literally locked the guy down so bad he ended up grading out. I think the +1s help to a point, then you need the attributes to back them up. With that being said if I use a +1 from this point on I’ll make sure my takeover will build my attributes for the badges I’m upgrading.

[@kozy9169]

couldn’t this be tested by having a player with the badge vs a player with the attributes or am I missing something like testing 78 middy with gold set shot vs 89 with silver

[@nba2ktutes]

Do ovr have hidden animations because it feel like at 90 and up I get better random animations then if I was on my 85

[@CooCooCallum]

Yeah I've noticed Euros are the wave kind of but physical finisher is tight you just got a it's tricky because you at the left of animation play out and it really does most of the time look like you're going to get blocked or something I'm still kind of learning that but I have mine on Hall of Fame and then gold lay up mixmaster cuz I thought physical finisher would work without the layup mixmaster but I was really I was dead wrong

[@eh6363]

So Tutes, couldn't you use your testing method using for example the Player Attributes required for a Gold Badge, test it and then test again with the same attributes but just upgrade the Badge to Hoff? As you stated you can put Legend Lightning Launch on a 25 speed with ball.

[@nba2ktutes]

If a statistical test is to be done it has to be on MyCareer mode because what we need to know is if there's something special going on if a badge was obtained through Max +1. What you are suggesting is just like typical badge testing.

[@Fundamentals_Bruv]

What if you edited a player or 2, dropped attributes then give him a higher badge grade?

[@nba2ktutes]

That’s like my normal testing. It’s not testing the max +1 functionality

[@Fred8Greedy]

Dimer doesn't increase the speed of a pass, it boosts shot percentage for teammates. And it literally tells you that in game. Does nobody read anymore ?

[@kxxthl]

99 rebound + legend rebound chaser will ofc be better than 96 rebound + legend rebound chaser with a +1. that’s logic. however, i would rather 96 rebound with legend rebound chaser, than 99 rebound and HOF rebound chaser, if that was hypothetically possible. that’s my opinion on the matter basically, more often than not the badge upgrade will be more impactful than the attributes without the badge upgrade

[@Spoofaged]

NGL, I have 96 and the +1 to legend chaser doesn't really do anything for me. It might be placebo, but I feel like it actually makes it harder to snag boards than just leaving it at HOF. Boxout is similar. Just not worth the +1 so I put it on paint patroller, deadeye, or paint prodigy that takes me from silver to gold. Those you can feel a difference. On my 6'6 guard, +1 goes to on ball menace from silver to gold. It's probably the most noticable difference out of any of the +1s I've used

[@nadovision8783]

Personal opinion: Match your MAX +1 with your selected takeover which would then match with attributes

[@JetFlyLow3]

Did you ever test Gary Trent Jr motion style? I swear it’s a top 3 but 🤷🏽 Im on a Ray Allen 6’5” with 92 speed n 87 agility w/ cap breakers 99 3pt 93 dunk 90 ball handle & i swear GT jr. is goat motion style

So if I have silver paint patroller and plus 1 it to gold. Then instead of the badge being actual gold paint patroller, it’s a super buffed silver paint patroller with higher probabilities to execute.

[@KpxRagDoll]

Silver to gold pp def makes a big diff when making opponents miss inside dunks/layups, given you got that contest with at least a stick up. But if you had gold pp with more interior def, you'd get overall better paint defending animations, stick to your man better, and not get broken/pushed aside inside(from drivers, not pure str post scorers), from my experience. I have multiple builds with 77 int def and less and anything under 77 just feels harder to def get blocks inside, but the gold pp with max+1 def helps make dunkers/layers to miss if you near them
