Full List and Description of NBA 2K15 Badges

[Clappington]

Al Jefferson without a doubt earned that dreamlike up and under. He is the best offensive big man in the post, simply cant guard him on the block.

Sweet. The complaints about players having/not having certain badges will be endless.

It seems as if there is a mixed reaction so far for the new badge system. I for one am super excited about the changes. I am one of those guys who spent almost just as many hours editing/tweaking the roster on 2k14 as I did playing the game (i like to think I did a good job considering i had one of the most DL'ed rosters). One of the reasons why I am excited about the new system is because I think it will add so much depth to the rosters. When you think about it, no 2 players are exactly the same, i.e you have players in the league that are good transition finishers and then you have players in the league that are great transition finishers. Although there are many knock down shooters in the league, there is a difference between a shooter such as J. Harden and a shooter such as S. Curry. Now that I have an idea on how the new system will work, I have already begun to setup my roster.
Here are a few players I have listed so far:

(Although i don't expect everyone to agree with my take. I must say that, my ratings are completely unbiased. I am a fan of the NBA and the players and not of any specific team. I am a League Pass guy, I watch pretty much every game, every night, I base ratings on how I see them.)

(Even though i am a die hard Lebron fan and even though he is the best player on the planet. I believe i gave him the correct amount of badges so either he slightly overrated on the game or I am missing something.)

I can't wait to test out the new system and gameplay. The only thing I wonder about is if there will be a noticeable difference between someone who has a skill in gold and someone who has that same badge but in Bronze or Silver (I hope so).

Even as an unabashed Curry homer, there are way too many big men and athletic finisher type badges for him, IMO.

Same goes with Kyrie and inversely too many guard type skills for Love. Unless the new system hands out Bronze for any semblance of competence in that area.

I hope the AI has been tinted in this respect so I don't have to lean on this particular badge. But I see how it could ease frustration. And it is very frustrating when my star teammate keeps passing me the ball back like it's a hot potato instead of being aggressive or taking the shot I set up for him (I play point). Yet when I watch from the bench everyone remembers how to play.

I agree, but I am just not feeling it. The mode is supposed to be about you playing as yourself, it's highly unrealistic to tell a player when to shoot or pass at will. You're better going CAP, going to association and player locking and doing that.

I know people say, just dont equip, but I will most likely need it to run plays. And I also like to call for the ball, but I don't want them passing it every single time I hit "A". I want them to look me off and not pass it sometimes. The only reason I am stuck in-between with this badge.

Just believe this badge was a bad move besides running plays and it should've been more likely to pass you the ball when you ask for it, not whenever you call for it. Hopefully, they worked on the teammate AI though.

It does.

This isn't exactly true. Read the description for what eraser does in game.
