Mike Wang Removed Limitless Takeoff Badge From NBA 2K24 https://homeofgamers.org/mike-wang-removed-limitless-takeoff-badge-from-nba-2k24/ Fri, 11 Aug 2023 22:58:37 +0000 https://homeofgamers.org/?p=14098 There are many badges in NBA 2K23 that have left a mark on the NBA 2K community. The Limitless Takeoff badge is a TOP TIER badge and has been glorified by players that attack the rim. This badge is known to cause players to launch into a dunk animation farther than normal from the basket which can make the dunk much more difficult to block. If you were on defense and the offensive player gets this animation, more times than not, you were getting dunked on. This was the power behind the Limitless Takeoff badge and with one tweet from Mike Wang, it’s gone:

Official Description:

When attacking the basket, a player with this badge will start their dunk animation from farther out than others.

Why Remove The Limitless Takeoff Badge?

For some, this may come as a surprise but for others, they saw this coming. Just last week, Mike Wang released a similar post around the same time, removing another Rim Driving friendly badge, Quick Drop:

This raises a lot of questions concerning how Rim Driving will be in NBA 2K24. This may also mean that defense may be increased with the removal of these offensive-friendly badges. Mike Wang may also be hinting that players will have more control when driving to the lane and choosing when to activate a dunk. With the mention of the new groundbreaking ProPLAY technology, that directly translates NBA footage into NBA 2K24 gameplay, there are a lot of questions that players are sitting on the edge of their seats about. We should see more news regarding NBA 2K24 in the coming weeks.

Luckily in NBA 2K22, you have the option to request a trade to a team of your choosing. This quick guide will take you through the steps on how to request a trade in MyCareer and get you on the team of your dreams.

How to request a trade in nba 2k22 next gen

When drafted as the number one pick, you will most likely be sent to the Detroit Pistons. This probably isn’t a bad thing because it could help speed up getting on the starting line up faster but they may not have the players that you want to team up with. Unfortunately, you will have to play a few NBA games before you can unlock the ability to request a trade.

With NBA 2K22 going in the direction of making a sports MMORPG, most of the features and unlocks can be found through doing the storyline quests.

How to request a trade in nba 2k22 next gen

As you progress through the season you will be asked to comment on how you feel about your current playing time and not being on the starting lineup. You’ll have the option to air out all the dirty laundry or keep it professional and everything behind closed doors.

Kendrick Perkins will eventually call you out on how you’ve been acting like you want a trade. You will then get the dialog to decide if you what to request a trade.

Once you request the trade you will start a new storyline. You’ll then have to continue to play more NBA games to progress the storyline. 

How to request a trade in nba 2k22 next gen

Next, you’ll get a quest with your agent to select the top three teams that you want to get traded to. Make sure that you select the team that you want to go to the most, first.

You’ll also choose whether you want to go public with trade or keep it like before, behind closed doors. If you go public it will speed up the trade and on the other hand, if you keep it behind closed doors the trade will take longer.

There is no exact number of games that you have to play, so just remain patient. Eventually, you’ll go meet your agent and the trade will be final.

Without a doubt, the Police officer also known as the Albion Contractor should be one of the first that you have on your list to recruit. Keep reading below to see some benefits and how you can get one on your team…

Finding an Officer

  1. Restricted Areas

    As you’ve been exploring around the city and doing missions, you may have noticed that there are quite a bit of areas that are marked red. These areas are restricted without the correct uniform. If you tried to enter this area without the right uniform, you probably found out the hard way, that the area may be well protected. These are also the same areas that you can look to find an Albion Contractor.Restricted areas - watch dogs legion

  2. Locating an Officer

    Drive around the city and look for the people that have on the same uniform for the area that you are entering. If you’re not sure if the person is an officer when you open your phone and look at the player details, it will tell you the person’s profession.

  3. Character Details #1

    It is also smart to first add your target recruit to your team and check out the mission and character details before you start the recruit mission. To check out the potential recruit, just open the player main menu and go to the team tab.

  7. Character Details #5

If you have a message that tells you that your recruit hates DedSec, you need to take a look at the player’s deep profile mission. You will need to complete these missions first before you can get the officer you are trying to recruit. You’ll also need to have the deep profiler ability unlocked to start the mission.deep profiler mission watch dogs legion

NBA 2K21: Best Badges for a Dominate SF 2-Way Finisher Build https://homeofgamers.org/nba-2k21-best-badges-for-a-dominate-sf-2-way-finisher-build/ Sat, 31 Oct 2020 18:17:56 +0000 https://homeofgamers.org/?p=12851 It can be difficult trying to figure out the best defenseive badges that you can put on your two-way finisher build especially if you are new to NBA 2k21 (current-gen). There are a variety of ways that you can change up your badges to make your defender unstoppable in the paint and on the parameter with the best of the point guards out there.

Requirements

  1. Ensure that you make a build with at least 8 defensive badge points.
nba 2k221 best defensive build

Two Most Important Badges

There are two badges that can be considered the most important to have on any build that you decide to make in NBA 2k21. These badges are intimidator and Clamps. With a minimum of 8 badges, you should be able to put both of these badges on gold. If you are able to put these two badges to ” Hall of Fame”, it is highly encouraged.

intimidator badge nba 2k21

When you are selecting which badge to put on your MyPlayer, it is important that you check out the badge information sheet for more details on how each badge works. This is a major part of understanding how each badge works with each other. The badge information sheet can be opened by using the button at the bottom corner of the screen. If you are using an Xbox it is “Y”.

NBA 2K21 Badge Information Sheet

For example, If we look at the badge info sheet, we can see that that the Intimidator badge increases your shot defense. This means that when you contest a shot the offensive player is less likely to make the shot. This applies to both layups and jump shots. Using Clamps will help stop the ball handler from getting to the lay and basket by cutting off their running path. This is very useful when defending against defenders and other builds that like to explode out of a size up or run around you.

The best thing about the Clamps and Intimidator badges is that it doesn’t matter what position you are playing, the boost will still apply.

Additional Badge Combinations

Playing as a 6’7 265 SF 2-Way Defender build will require you to play in the paint as well as on the parameter. This type of gameplay calls for badges such as box, rebound chaser, and rim protector. These will help with rebounding and ensuring that you are in a position to box out the larger centers in the paint. Rim Protector is key to help prevent getting dunked on buy the slashers and other players that have an open lane to the basket.

best badges in nba nk21

Rebounding plays an important role in a basketball game whether that be 3 vs. 3 or the traditional 5 vs. 5 games. If your team is having trouble grabbing boards, you’re in for a long game.

Other badges that you should consider using alongside the previously mentioned badges include pickpocket and interceptor for stealing the ball. Normally the team with the most turnovers, losses the game. With a high steal rating and the boost from those too badges, turnovers will be much easier to create and give your team more chances to win the game.

If you have 30 badge points to work with, you can place the remaining points on badges like brick wall chase down artist and pick dodger.

Depending on what teammates you are playing with you may want to put more points on different badges. If you have a point guard that likes to play off picks, you may want to think about putting as many points as you can on brick wall.

There are a number of ways to make the perfect defender but it all really depends on your play style.

How to find the VC Manager in NBA 2K21 https://homeofgamers.org/how-to-find-the-vc-manager-in-nba-2k21/ Mon, 21 Sep 2020 02:06:56 +0000 https://homeofgamers.org/?p=8258 If you’ve been playing the story mode in NBA 2K21 MyCareer you may have started to receive text messages from your agent telling you to pick up the VC you earned from endorsements. The problem is, where do you pick up the VC that you’ve been paid?

Finding the VC Manager Building

Like last year the VC manager building is in the neighborhood but it is not in the most obvious of spots. The easiest way to find the building is to look for the road that leads to the back alleys of the buildings once you load into the 2K Beach. It should be directly behind you.

NBA 2K21 VC Manager Building

Follow this road until you see the Gatorade facility. While you are facing the Gatorade Training Facility, the VC manager building is to the right of the build. You should also see the MyTeam building to the left. In front of the building is a small gold sign that you can walk up to and get your VC from endorsements. This time around, there is no cutscene when you receive your VC this year.
