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.

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 2K24Â 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.
