do dribble move badges such as killer crossover and stepback freeze do anything in the park and are they worth getting?

Gee, thanks. It would have been nice to have this earlier, but better late than never I suppose.

It helps you break people ankles at the park. But you won't really notice it unless you have a high playmaker and your opponent has a low defense.

so I am new to the forum (can't believe I had no idea these existed for gaming!) and I have been reading thru all these comments, finding out quite a bit, so thank you! BUT what I read also left me confused! I see people saying a lot about how to get rid of or not get Volume Shooter. Why? is it just harder to achieve some badges, or does it actually not make it possible? And if for say VS badge pops up when I for say complete one of the requirements for deadeye, having the badge pop up prevents the shot from counting towards the deadeye badge? or am I just looking too far into it?
thanx, Brooke

Also, question in upgrades available for attributes. It says I have 90 of the 100 upgrades unlocked. So when I am buying the attribute upgrades as they come, (90of100) and I am also upgrading these badges to gold as they come, is upgrading my bagdes to gold, preventing me from getting more blue bar uprgrades on attributes? i am only getting 1 upgrade available after a handful of games, and its moving so slow I feel like! But anyways, is there a point when upgrading each "silo", where you no longer can add and buy another bar? Like I understand there is about 20 blue bars in each silo, but if I have for say 14, 8, 19, 12, 17 blue bars in the corresponding silo's, and I am a PG-All around, can I continue to put my upgrades on the 14 jump shooter silo regardless?

VS makes getting badges like Microwave and Unfazed difficult since you have to go about it a different way. Those are the only badges I know that it makes difficult.

That thing about Deadeye not popping up is not true. Whenever I hit a shot I see Volume Shooter and Deadeye both pop up. The only badge I know that makes Volume shooter pop up twice is Corner specialist. Also Volume Shooter is the only Badge that pops up on a Miss shot.

Badges do not affect your attribute upgrades. So you could make all your badges gold if you want, since you earn a new attribute upgrade every 7 games. So you only have 10 upgrades left for your PG.

If your just want the attribute upgrades then you could foul out of your games until you get them.

I think tapping the RS up twice by itself does something else. I'm not gonna work on this badge until I get Deadeye so it might be a while. Am I going for deadeye right? I'm mainly taking midrange shots, and I'm walking the ball up waiting for contact to shoot it on Superstar. So far I made between 30-50 of those shots in the last 2 games. So I'm hoping I should have it in the next 5-10 games.

Yeah, holding Turbo flicking towards the hoop is Master In/ Out. Finished up all my dribbling badges last night. It took me 3 games to get In/ Out & step back freeze. I focused 1st half on In/ Out & 2nd half on Step Back freeze. I should have just did 1 game on In/ Out & another game on Step Back. Probably would have opened in 2. Live & learn I guess.

For everyone wanting to know how to perform all moves, shots, defense, etc. Go to NBA Today on homepage>2KU>Controls It will break down everything.

Also, don't be surprised if your teammate grade looks terrible for most of the game trying for dribbling badges. You'll get 'Hold Ball too long' a lot.
