The Ultimate NBA 2K25 Badge Tier List! I Tested Every Badge In The Game!

[@SoulKingBK]

Oh my god this is the most useful video I’ve ever seen in the 2K community. I don’t have time to grind up the build so they’re mad expensive and with cap breakers this year I don’t have the luxury of investing on a shitty legend badge. So thank you legit for this vid saving us 2k degens money. Also, I’ve seen people being like oh maybe you timed it wrong but I preferred an average user using the badge as the test case, not some 2K labs robot that gets perfect timing every time. It’s like you give real world 2K labs testing. Great methodology man! Excellent vid quality, I want you to blow up because you’re talented, but I don’t want the sweats to see this video and make my game harder

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@FIND_PAIR_A_DICE]

Watched all the way thru like always. Dope @30:02 if you could put the best value color badge or make a separate short video for the my career people I think it’ll do well. They really made legend the only tier useful for some badges while some have a good enough thresholds

[@Tyler_Piligian]

Good work man. You’ve put in the time, hopefully more dudes start watching you since it’s great content!

[@giantsfan696]

Appreciate it man!

@@giantsfan696 you’re a very, very talented creator, sir! I wish your team was doing better and didn’t trade Saquon Barkley. Nobody wanted to see the Cowboys win today.

Dope concept, good synopsis of all the tests in one video

Always appreciate the work & effort. Ty

[@giantsfan696]

No problem man!

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Paint patroller does a better job defending certain post moves than post move lockdown does

[@zomb13_god21]

My mans putting in the work and i can completely agree with alot of these but as for on ball menace i say the difference between hof and legend is not comparable as legend menace is as named legendary

[@frankrizzo9521]

W video, just subbed

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@RahdyaYT]

Late to the party but appreciate all the work you do dude. We love tutes and 2k labs but I love this more “what really happens when you try it” style of testing you do, feels organic. Keep it up bro

[@welcomingknave0619]

Hey man love the vids and have been watching for a hot minute and something I would maybe like to see and what I’ve noticed is for the post badges even tho not attributes height, weight, and wingspans can play affect into shots and coverage maybe putting making people the same in those categories might reassure some accuracy but other than that keep up the good work man!

[@scamlikely7814]

Appreciate you taking the time to do this, Great content btw 💪🫡

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@fleedadon]

I ain’t gonna lie I like the list but in proam and Rec against comp Rebound chaser deff should be top 5, you deff will get snag over with people with legend rebound n high vert

[@EazyMagicx]

W detailed tier list! You might could do a video of interior contest % of what is more important between interior defense and block with or without badges. Where we think that the meta for big men are 88 int def and 84 block and could be the whole time most effective at 82 int def and 84 block for example.

[@onlyIanes]

Keep working, Go Giants!

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@SoulKingBK]

The only thing I would be curious to see is you only tested paint patroller against a post badge that excels from creating space to get off a shot for a post player. Post players are strong in general this year. So it’s not really that much you can do about them. I’d like to see what it does on dunking badges that are very popular in the meta right now. Like how does it Hall of Fame in legend differ for big men who use rise up and little men who use posterizer badge. Great video by the way even with the sample size, it helped give me an idea of how I should be orienting my cap boosters

[@ffernandisco]

I have paint prodigy and paint patroller legend badges, do you think its worth it to put on hakeem olajuwon?

[@DrGloc2k]

Great video. Could you make the final chart include the test results and show what level of the badge was the best value.

[@scooterkelly12]

He tells you as he talks

[@_teezy]

Which would you say is more effective on gold for a lock. Paint patroller or high flying denier?

[@ShamanGam3r]

Yo! Good Video! Thank you for your work! I myself know how it is not easy to do. Good job.

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@CaptainCrunch03]

Video idea, dropping builds 1-5 from ur perspective with the badge tier data in mind. Would be dope imo

[@oneiksor]

This was awesome work and an even nicer video. Alot of us are still on Ps4 😅, can you do one of these for PS4? 🙏🏽

[@Himdonesia]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you

No problem!

Im making a build right now so. This really helps alot

[@joshuailijas6448]

Hey man can you drop a center build video would love to see what you come up with since you’ve tested all the badges love ya work mate 👌

[@ChristopherOmnipotent]

Can you do pink diamond cards vs diamond or ruby?

[@Phlatt]

Really appreciate the info I feel like most 2 ways have silver badges I would love to see the same video with silver being the standard for a 2 way vs a defensive anchor or a lock you know

[@StickyFingerss]

Love your content but bro ankle assassin constantly stuns you no matter your perimeter it's definitely A tier badge at least

[@scooterkelly12]

I agree but on his test he couldn't activate it

[@jfudge2002]

@@scooterkelly12I mean he testing against AI’s when playing online it’s different these test videos be off bc strong handle works alll the time with blow bys

[@hueyfreeman2200]

Love your vids keep doing what you’re doing I will continue to support you. With that being said I have to disagree with high flying denier because I spank shit as a 6’4 guard with bronze that is all 😂

[@lbc_benfrank]

best content

[@giantsfan696]

Thanks man!

[@3hristopher]

I knew immovable force was a great badge just didn’t know exactly what it did

[@drewski1867]

I kinda feel like posterizer is useless this game. I get taken out of contact dunk animations a lot. And I have it on HOF

[@ninjaoftherift1620]

Got a question for I have a 6'10 laMarcus aldrige and Zach Randolph combo build. Should I go with cap breakers and get both legend post power house and post up poet or should I go Hof paint prodigy but miss out on those badges ? I'm thinking to go the first option. And then use seasonal caps for paint prodigy

[@Vel-o-City]

Love the video... but Jomic was standing way to far below. I have a 6 foot 8 PF who gets 50/50 dunke but i get taken out of animations becaus eof paint patroller

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Is high flying denier useless on a 6’4” that can’t get paint patroller to begin with?

[@davidtavarez7335]

68 block relatively cheap so if you can afford it go for it. You can block smaller players on layups if you hip ride. Don’t expect anything crazy though, it’s just a an extra layer of defense

[@calvinr1805]

How do you add badges for some reason it says add 3 for jaen brown😊

[@kmt131989]

I mean u need lightning launch with strong handles but I'm nit mad at the video

[@Seli6358]

Bro why is gloves A tier ? I feel like it does work but because we don’t have workhorse it’s like a 50/50 chance after the plug you will get the ball . So I would have it B or even C

[@Solid-v2e]

U feel like it because it doesn't... Ppl only get bump steals or interceptions.... He S tier badges in last place it's crazy

[@commentboii]

Basically all these badges trash lol

[@killerjj3387]

30 minutes video? Bro its very long 😂

[@cloudgc1977]

Great work bro! Although based on your video, this list is based on the best value you can get out of the badge. I wish it was more like how important and effective the badge is in the game. Cos no way Versatile Visionary is on a higher tier than Rebound Chaser. But respect tho 🫡
