NBA 2K24 All-New Badge System Details Revealed

2K revealed their all-new badge system for NBA 2K24 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This system allows players to emphasize their strengths and explore various character builds for their MyPLAYER. Below are just a few details but make sure to read the latest Courtside Report for additional info.

• More Balanced Badges. NBA 2K24 brings 24 new skill badges to the court, raising the total to 77 badges overall, across MyTEAM and MyCAREER, boasting enhanced flexibility and balance to the game. This year includes new badges for Scoring, Ball-Handling/Passing and Defense to help players build on their strengths and create a MyPLAYER all their own.

A few key notes that didn't make the report:

– Badge grind is pretty quick for badges you use frequently
– Teammate Grade and Wins/Losses have a big impact on badge progression
– Rebirth sets your badges at Silver immediately#NBA2K24 https://t.co/IEMxyeMBkn

• New MyPLAYER Builder Experience. The MyPLAYER builder experience has received some major upgrades. NBA 2K24 will introduce customizable NBA Player Templates along with a new attribute builder page, additional badge tier rankings, archetype improvements that help to prevent meta builds, and more.

A cool lil feature we like about the NBA player templates in the builder is that if you chose one, and avoid customizing, you'll be equipped with all of his signature gameplay animations off rip. #NBA2K24 pic.twitter.com/uVjAaqNZbW

• Badge Level Progression. An all-new badge progression system that helps bring a more authentic feeling to a player’s MyPLAYER build. Players will no longer have to pick and choose which badges to equip to their MyPLAYER, and they’re no longer stuck within the badge points and attribute categories they were once limited to. Badges are earned by badge usage, meaning the more a player uses a badge in-game, the more they’ll progress toward to the next level in which they qualify.
