Today we will share with you how to use Guard Up Badge to green more shots and boost the different Badge levels. The long definition of Guard Up Badge is that it increases the ability of Jumpshots when Defenders can’t theoretically compete properly.

That sounds good, but for Badge to activate, you have to get a Defender in enough play, and their hands have to be down when the ball is released. These are essentially what we call “Neighborhood” contests.

This Badge can now be activated occasionally in Open matches. But when all of these conditions are met, it’s more likely to activate on a 5 to 20 match. We should note that in order to activate Badge correctly, it is essential to understand the basics of Badge. At the same time, players often need to invest enough NBA 2K23 MT to upgrade their Badge level to play the best effect.

We took 100 shot samples at five different points across the green window using our retrofit controller. At the same time, we had a Defender standing close enough for a low yellow race. The whole test was 2500 shots. Turns out looking like this strictly doesn’t seem to give you much of an advantage.

But on the late fringe of the green window, a move up to Silver Tier 8 is significant. Gold rank sees a steady 6% to 9% boost throughout Hall of Fame’s green window. We expect players to improve the most at levels 12-14 throughout the green window.

So you can see Badge actually it gives the player a nice boost. But its downside is that the way it activated Badge is not very consistent, which is why you won’t see many people using this Badge.

Many people play raise hands defense online, which would completely negate Badge’s utility. Often it takes a certain mature playstyle to actually use this Badge, and generally someone who needs a lot of movement for mid-range shots or Post Fades may benefit from it.

Of course, that’s fine in a pick-and-roll situation, too, since three guys might be chasing a center, or it might catch Defender behind a screen. But still be able to conduct Neighborhood contests in all realities.

Since this Badge is mainly for controversial shots, even though the Badge is good, the shots generally don't work very well. We don’t recommend this Badge over others that have more realistic use cases.

What’s more, it’s also a Tier 2 Badge for players of 6A and above, which is a stressful investment for most players. I would say that if you are an aggressive shot creator and want to shoot these types of shots, Badge is probably worth using.

If you see it activating, check your core progress and see if it’s full. Because if not, now might be the time to switch to a more useful Badge that better suits your playstyle.

Of course, it still depends on your game style. Maybe Guard Up Badge can help you green more shots. I hope this will help you with your shooting practice. If you have any other ideas, you may wish to discuss them in the community. I wish you a merry game.
