Hopefully Curry can start to resemble like his real life self, The Human Torch

Re: Full List and Description of NBA 2K15 Badges

If it is, It's most likely a rare badge. I can only think of Hakeem and Embiid having it tbh outside of your myplayer.

I'd have Al Jefferson and Luis Scola with that badge before Embiid. I don't think he has proved he could have that badge yet. That amazing up and under he did in college was against college players, so you can't say NBA players would react the same way.

But I get your point about it being rare. I don't think it will be OP though.

Hakeem Olajuwon was the first player I thought of when I saw that badge's name.

I mean, come on. "DREAMlike." He's my favorite player of all time--how could I NOT notice that?

No rim protector? disappointment is upon me. I was hoping it would recreate the effect a dominate defender presents. Its been statistically captured with dwight and most recently Larry Sanders

if 'rim protector' was in, what would be the difference between that and eraser?

I get that, but Luis Scola has regressed dramatically from what he was, he's mainly a pick and pop guy now with the occasional underhand layup(basically Antawn Jamison on the Lakers smh). Big Al definitely is the best big in the post now, but this badge just screams "Hakeem like"(even the name says Dream lol) and Embiid is probably the closest size, mobility, skill wise we've seen. I think he needs to earn it as well, but if anyone other than Hakeem had it I wouldn't mind it be him.

Same, and it's always amazing watching one of the greats highlights.

With rim protector you will alter the layup/floater forcing to miss even without blocking the shot

Some good combinations can be made with this list.

Re: Full List and Description of NBA 2K15 Badges

I agree about the rim protector badge. I think some people are very good at altering shots without neccesarily getting the block and I would have liked to see that represented.
I would also have liked to see an "intimidator" badge which would lower the opponents tendency to drive against such a player, both in the set offense and in the open court (fast breaks etc.)
Because a lot of what these so called rim protector\anchors do is mental. Opponents are less likely to even attempt to drive inside vs. a Dwight\Hibbert\Chandler\Marc or Dikembe type of guy, but also some other "scary" defenders (Artest in his glory days, or Rodman both come to mind, even devoid of elite shot blocking skills).

What's cool about this type of badge is that it would alter more than just shot %, but also the "decision making" of AI players.

You like?

The on court coach is the one that bothers me. You should not be able to tell your teammates when to shot. Also calling plays should be for the player running the offense. Other than that all nice touches that add to the full experience.

Sounds like a bandaid for the longstanding problem of your AI controlled teammates offensive awareness/IQ virtually disappearing while your MyPlayer is on the court. I hope the AI has been tweaked 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.

Perhaps "Eraser" could work as the expected Rim Protector badge...

Cheers! ;-)

Dirk should have it as well (in my opinion).

Eraser creates rhythm boosts on blocked shots.

Rim Protector changes shots inside even without actually resulting in a block. It's the intimidation factor and ability to bother shots outside of spiking shots into the third row.

Re: Full List and Description of NBA 2K15 Badges

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.
