For those who are asking about the % boost: I don't have stats yet. But if you can't wait and just want a general advice: Based on my experience, shooting related badges are mostly linear and if there's any sweet spot, it's not going to be that steep for you to worry about. The only shooting badges that may have dramatic sweet spots are continuous-boost shooting badges like volume shooter and green machine, and narrow time-range badge like clutch shooter badge from before. I always treat one-shot shooting related badges (like dimer) as linear as a safe reference.
Would love to see steal effectiveness of right stick vs x/square for both passing lanes and on ball. Without right stick ripper badge, is the right stick still better for on ball steals? While testing passing lanes, also curious if holding LT affects the passing lane success as I seem to get better animations if I'm not in defensive stance(LT)
The reason people think a higher Dimer badge improvers ur passing accuracy, speed, and animations is because you need to actually have a higher pass accuracy rating in order to unlock those Hall of Fame/Legend dimer badges. So of course if u naturally have a higher pass rating, that dimer is also going to be higher and it’s going to feel like the dimer itself is making everything better when really it’s just the higher pass rating making everything better. In reality dimer just boosts teammates catch and shoot green window by a little and that’s it. It’s all correlation rather than causation
The guy was saying his +1 boost from his original Silver -> Gold, made him feel like he was passing faster and better. You don't need to change any stat points to add a +1 boost. But that being said, this video debunked his claim.
So with gold or legend dimer if you pass it to your A.I teammates in my career mode they have more of chance at making their shots?...playing on hall of fame difficulty with the Clippers i just have a bronze dimer badge and when i pass the ball to Kawhi or Harden they literally brick wide open 3 point shots...is there a correlation with the dimer badge or is the difference not that much and your teammates are gonna be trash regardless?
There’s also hidden thresholds for almost every attribute where you get certain animations at a specific number. For instance going from 39 to 40 standing dunk will give you way more animations as going to 45 will give you even more but going to say 58 only gives you a slightly higher chance of triggering those animations, and it’s not game breaking where as the difference between 39.40 and 45 can be the difference between getting a standing dunk off on a 6’3 guard or not. It’s possible 82 pass acc (which is when you get gold dimer) is unlocking pass hidden thresholds for better/more consistent passing animations that people with say 80 pass acc aren’t getting.
In one of the older 2K's where you could equip and unequip badges, I remember testing dimer in mycareer. One thing I noticed for sure is when a teammate would roll through traffic and I was at the top of the key, dimer on would kind of "guide" him into catching it and dunking in one smooth motion. It popped up consistently as well. And without dimer, they would sometimes fumble the ball slightly, so their transition into dunking wasn't as smooth. I don't know if this is still the case
This. I saw this thing multiple times, I have a 99 pass acc build and a 60 pass acc build, on the one Which I have high pass does the same thing you described. On the other hand the 60 pass acc build doesnt help him any kind of way of smoothness when he tries to go through traffic.
Also as for boosting catch&shoots it doesnt do anything imo. If your guy cant shoot, he wont be hitting shots even if you have a legend dimer. I literally passed a guy 10 times and he only made 3 of those , he was wide open every single time.(this is with legend dimer btw)
I don't have stats yet (as that takes half a day to test). But if you want a quick advice: Based on my experience, shooting related badges are mostly linear and if there's any sweet spot, it's not going to be that steep for you to worry about. The only shooting badges that may have dramatic sweets spots are continuous-boost shooting badges like volume shooter and green machine types of badges. I always treat one-shot shooting related badges as linear as a safe reference.
(Ball handle) About hands with catch and shoot , what is ball handle doing and boosting shot / animations ? Is there a sweat spot for ball handle . ? Thanks
This game has different shot speeds like 2k23 but green windows still get calculated by milliseconds. However we get told to go by cue. does the speed affect timing by cue
TUTES! I may have something interesting for you to test.. I think release speed (custom jumper) is directly tied to how quick the hop jumper animation is. When I put the release speed all the way down the Kyle Lowry hop jumper seems to be significantly slower. Wasn't sure if that's something you'd want to look into.
Posterizer and its correlation with vertical and/or strength. Maybe speed with ball and speed effects it too due to momentum? Would love an in depth look Day 1 of asking
I got legend dimer with center with squad it’s op. But with randoms, they’ll either scared to shoot/brick or make couple catch n shoot thinking they good but then start ball hogging not using the effect of my legend dimer 🤦♂️
Wondering if you've considered testing contested dunk percentage somehow? it always pops up on dunks after cuts and it's weird because the badge only says open shot percentage
A test Id like to see is how different heights affect speed, so testing a 5’9 with 99 speed and a 7’3 with 99 speed and seeing if the taller player moves faster
you should do mini marksmen, been debating on if a 94 three pointer is worth it for gold or if i should settle with just 93 & save some points, thank you
Only reason it feels like a speeds our passes up is because the builder makes you have a higher pass accuracy to get the badge. It’s just an unintended consequence.
Pogo is good. I have it on silver and get can get like 4 jump contest within 3 seconds. My vertical (85) may be helping though. I can only imagine what it's like on Legend
Dimer has always given the person receiving the ball a temporary boost. The bronze gave you like one point to your shooting attributes silver was like two gold was like three and Hall of Fame was like four or five. That's all that badge ever did. 1:18
@@Tomorrowsgone floor general did that as well that's why you wanted dimer and floor general so you got the most amount of boost. Back in the day though the grind for your badges was totally different. Like there was a certain amount of assist to get bronze, silver, gold, and Hall of Fame. Also there was no counter so you had to check after each game to see how many assists or rebounds or whatever the stat was to get certain badges. Certain badges like brick wall there was no counter so you had to count that stuff yourself. It was a rough time but it was fun.
Idk why that one guy always ask about dimer. It is literally the same every year. The higher the better with silver being more than enough if you are not a PG lmao glad to see them weird rumors debunked though about dimer. 💯 idk who started that.
I got a 25 pass and I drop dimes like a 90 pass go in your settings and change the passing all the way to openness and you see passing attribute is not an important stat

This not a good test .. everything is wide open. Of kourse it feels the same . But when your playing its a huge difference. Throwing the ball down the court when there is people running legend to no badge will be a huge diff .. thats whole point. . During the acrual game it does speed up things
Dimmer has nothing to do with pass speed. Versatile visionary is the badge. Read people come on. No wonder 2k has been ass for so long yall don't even wanna read let alone learn how to play the game.

@@EzyMONEY-bro group leader making his teammates build
@@Nahanoo lmao bra nah I just play with ppl that has the same traits as me. Ie make the extra pass
So does it actually boost shot percentage ?????
Just to clarify then, what is the percentage boost that receivers get from someone passing with dimer? I'm looking for that sweet spot.

How much vertical helps with rebounding

This game has different shot speeds like 2k23 but green windows still get calculated by milliseconds. However we get told to go by cue. does the speed affect timing by cue
Post fade phenom pls goat
What I gathered from this is you want some type of ball handle if You're a wing or popper to get those hands up.
great vid. can you test takeovers? specifically silky shooter? ❤️
3:20 why u didn't make that test for versalite vis?
or why didn’t he use break starter for the full court passes. i don’t think people care about the higher pass acc for dimer.

How much is the boost for the shooting percentage for each level of dimer? Is using my badge plus 1 from gold to hof worth it?

What about comparing rhythm shooting (up and down rs), regular stick shooting (down on rs ) and regular square shooting (pressing square)
Can we get a Mini Marksman Test 🤔
Literally dropping from 82 to 78 because of this video
Needle threader was put into versatile visionary
Only reason it feels like a speeds our passes up is because the builder makes you have a higher pass accuracy to get the badge. It’s just an unintended consequence.
Can you test Zion dribble style or dribble style speeds?
so is 55 pass acc on a lock enough??
Needle threader is in Visionary badge. The definition makes it obvious, using it and not using it also proves it
useful video thanks Tutes
Does pogo work this year. I was curious about that
Pogo is good. I have it on silver and get can get like 4 jump contest within 3 seconds. My vertical (85) may be helping though. I can only imagine what it's like on Legend
It does
The difference between silver and gold pogo stick alone is pretty big. I imagine legend is pretty damn good
