Best Shooting Badges in NBA 2K23

Now that you know what all of the shooting badges are and what they do, which ones are the best? Though it kind of depends on how you like to play—whether you like to juke and dribble, nail jump shots, or send it from the half-court—there are a few shooting badges that are better than others.

The Space Creator badge is a stand-out badge as it is a two-in-one deal. Not only will you be more likely to sink shots from stepping back from a defender, but the defender also has the potential to stumble, making the window of timing much more open. Limitless Range is another great badge that will improve all of your 3PT shots. Agent 3 paired with Limitless Range is a perfect match as Agent 3 will allow you to hit more difficult shots at the 3PT range.

Blinders is another essential badge that will allow you to take cleaner jump shots when defenders are closing in. Guard Up is a great badge as well because it will increase the chance of you making jump shots when defenders don’t properly contest, which will happen more often than you think.

How to Get Shooting Badges Quickly

The only way to get shooting badges in NBA 2K23 is by successfully hitting your shots in a game or in practice. To quickly gain skill in shooting, simply shoot as many threes as you can. The best way to do this is to wait a few seconds, back up from the defender, and take your shot. You can also run the “Work on Your Game: 3PT Deep” training exercise to grind your shooting skill.
