NBA 2K22: Badges and their functions

Badges are one of the key skills of the player, which define his personality. They not only improve one or another skill of the player, but also allow you to create unique gaming moments, aspects of which cannot be simply hammered into the attribute category, as certain badges are able to open access to more advanced animations.

Each badge (except for personality badges) there are four levels, namely bronze, silvery, gold and HOF (Hall of Fame). It is on the level of the badge that its effectiveness depends..
