This guide will provide you with detailed information on how the badges will change in the new version. Without further ado, get your NBA 2K25 MT ready to enter this new world!
Why Are Badges So Important?
Players who have never played this kind of NBA video game may not know much about what the badges do in the game and why they are so important to players. Don’t worry, we’ll explain it.
1. Badges Are An Important Part Of The Game Experience
Badges can be the difference between success and failure in many modes of NBA 2K games. You can use these badges to enhance the right attributes or skills that your players are best at, which will greatly increase your chances of winning on the court.
In NBA 2K, MyCareer game mode is usually where you get badges and enhance your players. By the way, you can enhance players in all positions here. As for the types of badges, it depends on your play style. For example, Finishing badges can help you finish at the rim or score in the paint, and Shooting badges will be suitable for guards and wings.
Finishing badges mentioned above are very suitable for centers or power forwards, while playmaking badges are necessary for point guards or point forwards. The most important badge is the defensive badge, because no matter what position or size a player is, he needs to defend.
Each category has various badges to help improve their respective areas. Badges basically ensure that you will be rewarded in all areas of the game, and can also improve specific attributes based on the play style you choose.
For example, some of the popular activities in the game that you can participate in, such as pro-am teams or outdoor park games, require you to use badges to make your players versatile in order to achieve all-round success. This way, you will feel that your NBA 2K25 MT Coins are well spent because you will win more games.
2. Badges Have Undergone A Very Big Change
In previous NBA 2K series games, the changes in badges disappointed many players because they were all insignificant changes. But this year is different. It will definitely open your eyes – the number of badges will be reduced, but the badges will have more important meanings.
In NBA 2K25, it is currently known that there are 40 skill badges for you to choose from, and the specific needs depend on the multiple aspects of the player’s construction you want to enhance, such as height or position. Although the number is significantly reduced compared to the previous 77 badges, the quality of each badge has increased, and the importance of each of them has also increased.
Regarding the previous badge system, the most unsatisfactory thing for players is that the badges cannot fully play their role, resulting in the regression of players in this area. In NBA 2K25, this problem will be improved, and only badge progression will be used to continue to improve each aspect, and any possibility of regression caused by insufficient use will be eliminated.
This badge change will definitely make more players stick to this game, right? In addition, NBA 2K25 plans to add a new legend tier to Hall of Fame tier of badges to make players love the badge system even more. This means that the higher the quality of the badges you earn, the badge progression will improve the player’s level in the way you want it most, such as three-point shooting, dribbling, or playmaking.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the animations in NBA 2K25 are expected to be a major highlight of the game, which will help the badges in the game look very realistic.
Although many animations in NBA 2K were very realistic before, as if they were really in NBA arena, the addition of artificial intelligence technology this year will definitely make the game more immersive. It will be easier for you to get NBA 2K25 MT as a reward after each game.
Similarly, these new badges will make the park mode or MyCareer games in the game more interesting, and provide more possibilities for players to improve their level. Most importantly, your experience as a player will also be better.
Specific Changes To Badges
After introducing so many changes to the badge system, are you eager to know what specific changes are there to the badges? Fortunately, there are some new badges and some badges that have undergone changes in each category, but because the total number of badges has decreased, the attributes or levels of players that can be increased are no longer balanced.
Some badges in NBA 2K25 will focus more on rebounding, defense, organization and various scoring forms, some badges will focus more on the player’s ability to steal the ball as an elite defender, such as Glove and Interceptor, and some will focus more on the player’s ability in three-pointers, such as Limitless Range and Deadeye.
Each badge will raise the player’s skills to a higher level and may increase their overall rating. The currently known badge categories in NBA 2K25 and the information on how many badges there are in this category are as follows:
- Inside Scoring: 11
- Outside Scoring: 5
- Defense: 10
- Rebounding: 2
- General Offense: 2
- Playmaking: 9
- All-Around: 1
The above are some changes to badges in NBA 2K25. I hope you can feel these very obvious changes in the official version on September 6, and I wish you a happy playing in this NBA video game!
