**Badge of Gold: A Core Requirement**

First up, let's talk about the Badge of Gold. This badge is a must-have for any serious player, but it's not easy to get. The process involves grinding out levels, with each level representing a certain amount of progress towards achieving the badge.

I've had my fair share of success with this badge, using it to take my game to new heights.

**Tireless Shooter: A Game-Changer**

Another badge that's caught my attention is the Tireless Shooter badge. This badge offers an adrenaline boost when shooting, allowing players to get more shots off in a shorter amount of time. It's a great tool for players who want to take their game to the next level. I've had success with this badge, using it to outmaneuver my opponents and score more points than ever before.

Now we have Break Start, which is an absolute must-have for any big man player looking to wreak havoc on the court. This badge allows players to throw in breaks like a pro, making it impossible for opponents to stop them. It's a game-changer when paired with other badges like Hall of Fame and Brake Starter.

The Hall of Fame badge is one of the most challenging badges to obtain in the game. But with consistent playmaking and a solid understanding of the game, it can be achieved. I've had my fair share of success with this badge, using it to lead my team to victory time and time again.

Finally, we have Break Starter and Needle Threader, two badges that complement each other perfectly. These badges allow players to throw in breaks like a pro and stun opponents with special passes. They're a must-have for any serious player looking to dominate on the court.

**The Core Anchor: A Grinding Essential**

At the heart of all these badges is the core anchor badge. This badge allows players to grind out more badges, making it essential for anyone looking to improve their game. With consistent playmaking and a solid understanding of the game, this badge can be achieved in no time.

**A Word on Badges and Grinding**

One thing to keep in mind when grinding is that badges are not always easy to obtain. Sometimes, they seem like they don't even work right at all. But with persistence and patience, anything is possible. Don't be discouraged if you encounter some setbacks – just keep grinding and watch your progress accumulate.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou too what is going on your new video this is kind of the sprinkle off of the uh the build video I made uh for this build and then basically I mean it the idea of this video transfers everything we're gonna be talking about badges for big men and uh which ones work most effectively and talking about the core badge system and really explaining that in depth so we can understand what we're really grinding for and what everything means but if you're new to the channel like the video subscribe subscribe subscribe we got daily streams every single day we're putting in a lease for four to 14 hours this and there's you know where every day we're streaming playing rag playing Park playing Prime and uh yeah just be sure to check out all the videos we're trying to push out some content thinking of some ideas working on some thumbnails you know it's good it's good but let's get into the video right now I'm gonna go look at these badges so this is the build I'll have the link in the description for this video for this build this is still this is still the best Wing build to be for being a a power forward Center hybrid kind of yeah I get I have 16 finishing 17 shooting eight play making 34 defense got all the badges here I have not cored out all the badges I've not gotten all my core badges which is very important but but yeah since you're we're talking about big man here we're going to talk about defense and rebounding badges first obviously the one you need which I've almost poured out completely is rebound Chaser rebound Chaser every single year is a phenomenal badge this year returns same type of vibe phenomenal badge that I run this is my current badge setup too so if you like what you're seeing try it out take a screenshot go with what you see um but yeah rebound Chaser phenomenal badge same exact Vibe the anime except this year it's even more powered up uh not having a 99 rebound one of your category is definitely I think a must if you're playing any big man position so rebound sharks are absolute W but as you see you look at the rebound Chaser core challenge I have this badge Hall of Fame that is the Hall of Fame meter essentially that's filling up and when it fills up with the for the Hall of Fame badge since it costs eight badge points to use uh a tier three badge once that core fills up it basically gives me a free badge once I equip it and that gives me extra badge points I can use and that's what you're kind of seeing with this right here the 34 defense or that's what you're kind of seeing right here is I have the anchor badge cord so right now so since it costs five six I think that's six yeah it costs five badge points it costs five badge points to get anchor bronze I grinded and got enough shots blocked and contests to the point that I filled up the bronze meter and they gave me back I'm using anchor for free for five batch points and I get to use those five badge points other places when I finish my rebound Chaser that's eight badge points I'm gonna have those I'm gonna have eight total free badge points I can use I saw for a rebound chaser so basically the core badge is you're grinding the core challenge out for whatever level of the badge you want to use so like Hall of Fame rebound Chaser I've been grinding that's all it takes is getting rebounds and activating the badge x amount of times it's like getting a grand badge back in the day and once you finish that you get that badge for free and on to core you're just going to click onto the badge and then there will be an option to core it once you like right here it says press triangle Decor uh old rebound chaser I'm actually gonna do that right now I'm gonna core the rebound chaser and I got eight extra badge points you see what I'm saying so now I'd have eight extra badge points to use and sprinkle around so that's more badges than I had available before but then I'm gonna Encore because I actually want to grind the Hall of Fame I'm just equipping here then I'm gonna core see how it says I have zero badge points for afforded to me I have the anchor challenge complete though I can core it I get it for free five batch points for free once I finish this Hall of Fame rebound chaser I'm gonna Encore this I'm gonna core of this get more Badges of these um if you have any questions feel free to DM me on Twitter or anything like that but a pogo stick always a solid badge I just don't have the badge points right now when I core rebound Chase I'm sure I'm gonna use pogo stick potentially it's just a lot of badges you have to use Pogo stick's a great one though I mean it allows you to contest at the paint and then jump and then re-gather and jump afterwards for the rebound very fast so polystick's always a good batch people just think of it as you're guarding a big man the pain you jump over and over again it's not just that you see what it says allows players to quickly recover and go back up for another jump upon Landing rebound block even jump shot so it allows you just to recover from jumps faster going for rebounds it's a great badge uh it's just not a necessity I'm brick wall I'm not running that's just getting gritty pushing draining energy anchor gold anchor I tried out I felt like it didn't work well I felt like I committed more fouls into pain I felt like it just wasn't doing great and bronze anchor seems like the happy medium of not committing fouls but still blocking shots anchor is not doesn't seem like a great badge at the moment the badge more tied to blocking shots to me as chased on artists I feel like this allows me to get the block animation and swap more shots it's a lot harder to block shots this year as more people have higher dunk rating and just dunking your face anyways but that's why I like to keep bronze anchor so it does like allow me to still make contact with the ball and block shots but this chase down artist having it as high as you can uh is definitely a w I mean I'm just gonna adjust it right now to be honest I didn't even know I could get this Hall of Fame kind of forgot so I'm gonna put that Hall of Fame um clamps great badges here I think some people under I mean defense isn't that big of a necessity right now to the point but clamps having clamps is very important if you don't have high perimeter or the other badge has clamp breaker and you don't have any clamps they just kind of tend to blow by you and just push off you and just run right by you I do think people undervalue perimeter defense this year and I do feel like having clamps is a very good badge and it actually works pretty well this year Interceptor absolutely um pastures Hall of Fame was always a must this year it feels like gold Interceptor it feels like Hall of Fame Interceptor you get great animations I'm scared to even see what Hall of Fame Interceptor does this year but um silver Interceptor is great I feel like you don't have to have this high of a steal silver and stuff that works well gold Interceptor is a clear upgrade though and it does work phenomenally and that's why I have it there a challenger great badge to use for guarding up top on Perimeter uh Workhorse always think this is a must badge um damn I think I'm gonna go with I love Workhorse so I'm gonna put where cars Hall of Fame I love Workhorse this allows you this is like um what was the badge called last year Hustler it's like Hustler from last year this badge is amazing I always love badges like this the ability to scoop loose balls and gives your player a speed boost for the when the ball's on the floor I mean it is next level you will see just such a clear difference of somebody that has no Hustler to bronze Hustler versus Hall of Fame gold Hustler like the difference is monumental like my player has 80 speed I have Hall of Fame hustle when that Ball's on the floor I got 99 speed plus I'm all over the place this badge if you're playing defense and you're serious about defense you got to run this gold I need to see this badge high in Your Arsenal post move lockdown uh good badge very good badge solid badge not a necessity pick Dodger more for garden up top if you're guarding the ball off ball pass always enjoyed this badge if you had the extra badges for it and uh ankle braces you know both of these tie into getting your ankles broken a little less but you see what badges I run box out Beast this one this year is absolute must for big men this is probably one of my best badge I'd say this might be the best badge for big men the ability because breaking box outs which is like when you're in their box out animation they're boxing you know you just flick left on the stick while you're holding like turbo and stuff like that and you kind of push them out there with and this is like this is like box out plus worm put together this year which is awesome it is incredible it's a tier one badge for me on this build um which makes it great four badge points and I get this Hall of Fame I break so many boxes I secure box outside secure rebounds this badge is phenomenal love absolute must this year at this moment or uh the way on ball steals are you put his glove put glove as high as you can it'll get you plucking the point cards just religiously it's ridiculous mature if you like the badge layout take a screenshot like I said core badges you got to use whatever badge so I have this Hall of Fame that's why I'm grinding it out I'm getting close to Hall of Fame so once I fill up that core challenge by just activating rebound Chase x amount of times maybe getting a thousand to 1500 rebounds then I get eight free I get this badge for free and it allows it opens up eight more batch points I can use other places so you can see I use I have extra badges on shooting and play making stuff right now just just for right now uh finishing Pro Touch great badges here only use it if you have your layup timing on which I do and I actually enjoy using the layup time this year and feel like it helps a lot Pro Touch great badge if you have that on fully finisher solid I'm still testing out a lot of these badges aerial wizard for uh alley oops definitely love make sure Limitless takeoff absolute must have it on Silver if you have high dunk and you have dunk packages equipment stuff like that and you don't have Limitless takeoff silver you can't even activate those animations that's why Limitless takeoff is a must have it at least silver that's what triggers most of the takeoff attempts from from uh the dotted lines and the paint like deeper out and you can trigger those quick drops tomahawks stuff like that you don't have this equipped you do more standing two foot animations in the paint Masher you know a lot of these badges my build isn't much of a finishing build has good finishing has Pro contact number 84 driving Duncan good vert but fast twitch I always enjoy allows you to go up with standing dunks standing layups faster always a great badge around I'm trying to cord that right now that'll give me five extra badge points to use other places uh posterizer you know this bill I'm just not worried about post driving people that and I'm actually doing fast twitch first I might come back to posterizer I'm using fast twitch first because it's the easiest core battery to grind it's hard to activate it's hard I won't even say that maybe I'll switch up my idea because posterizer actually isn't that hard now that grind on my slashing build um might have to change that up but posterizer you know when you do the up down stick dunk and rise up yeah I mean the Necessities here is Limitless takeoff after that you can really put badges wherever you want on this build but for the most probably just say Limitless takeoff is the one necessity this year just to trigger those animations for open dunks area Wizard's great for alley oops um but yeah you can kind of go wherever you want this is my setup for this build I'll probably I could probably do a video for my slasher if you want to see that uh shooting badges and then keep in mind it's all about having badges that activate having badges that uh pop up a lot that pop up a lot when you play the game um but what I use here is Catch and shoot uh just a bass just a basic badge that's just a staple in the game protection shoot solid badge pops up when you catch and shoot obviously uh Corner specialist I play a lot of Pro-Am so I tend to use this badge when I'm playing Power four and I'm standing in the corner uh when I'm playing around in the wreck or playing out in the park so I'll take this off put more on volume shooter but more on Green Machine you know that green machine phenomenal badge this year and a game where you have to Green a badge called green machine is definitely going to get the job done for you um I feel like can't afford hey you see I got all these extra badges because I I cord Green Machine originally I'm actually gonna do is I'm gonna Encore this right now are two badge once available I'm just gonna change these I'm a big volume shooter guys kind of tough for me changing it up I'm just gonna go with green machine I'm gonna grind this out because you know Green shots this will give me more extra badge points I'm just gonna go with that and grind out that core Badge of gold you see there's levels to it I have brown finished silver is about halfway done old which I'll work on that um yeah shooting badge like I said you just keep the basics Green Machine definitely the most useful badge this year in a game where you have to green your jump shots you get a boost a significant boost amped always a great badge this pot are always a great patch this is new to the game this year it's like tireless shooter but it actually really works this year those little uh adrenaline bars on the bottom when one disappears this activates and you have one gone almost all the time just Sprint into your spot you're losing an adrenaline bar so this is going to be great you could even run this higher when I core this gold I'm definitely going to put some more on this some Claymore claim more for standing still you catch the ball wide open you take that extra second to set your feet clay more activates boom good badge for when you have time to shoot in your wide open volume shooter same thing take a lot of shots take a lot of shots get more boost the more shots you take the more boost you get yeah this is what I'm running right now solid solid trying to core badges though uh playmaking brake started great for the wreck throwing brakes to obviously throw in the brakes uh R1 I win the ball as much as you can trust that you guys are running a good route deep and you get free buckets r19 this is break start is great stuff throws good passes um I have dime record right now just for just for an extra badge uh I might just Encore this to be honest with you uh uh no I guess that really doesn't matter keep my floor General might actually run special delivery here right now I'm trying to court needle threader that'll give him extra veggies but yeah break start is a must if you're playing wreck if you're a big man uh and then you kind of just put wherever you want special delivery is good for throwing lobs uh snap passes flash pass flashy passes so I believe the two months here break starter needle brake starter and needle threader after that you put them in the rest wherever you want needle threaders just it's just great especially this year I mean you stun people for throwing passes with needle thread air equipped so and freeze them so defensively take a look at this I said core badges you basically just get for having the badge equipped and you'll see that meter fill up quite a bit and that's when you're able to core badge so right now you see I grabbed a ton of rebounds and when I get the Hall of Fame which is eight points they use a tier three Hall of Fame bed I'm gonna get eight extra badges back that I can use just good stuff but you see since I got these five extra ones with the core anchor right there normally I have 34 defensive badges but instead I get 30 what am I using up right now 11 15 26. yes I mean you see here four five six seven eleven seventeen I got all these badges because the core you know it's pouring your badge is a grind this year it's but it's definitely worth it it makes your build more of a dummy God people complain about some bills this that and everything else you have to core your badges it's important gets you extra badges so find that two or three badge that you love the most um I also have to add before you can do tier three and try Corey tier three badge you have to use 10 badge points up in the tier one and tier two so if you want to grind the uh Hall of Fame tier 3 badge cost 10 of these points to activate tier three and then it's gonna take you eight more badges to use a Hall of Fame so you're gonna have to have 18 total badges in the category like available to you they can use 10 in the tier one and tier two and then use eight to equip here and then you grind it out you just you activate the badges many times as possible until the rebound Chaser fills all the way up don't worry about post game sometimes it tells you you finished it it's a little minor glitch in the game some of these grinding some of these cores like seem like they don't even work right sometimes but stay with the process watch the meter fill up as you go and that's all it's about if you have any more questions stuff like that anything about the this build in general be sure to check out the video Linked In the description solid build great build still stands up a weekend very solid build does everything well but yeah I'll see you on the next video man subscribe to the channel and stay tapped for more make sure to tune into the live streams that happen every afternoon into the late night

tireless shooter but it actually really works this year those little uh adrenaline bars on the bottom when one disappears this activates and you have one gone almost all the time just Sprint into your spot you're losing an adrenaline bar so this is going to be great you could even run this higher when I core this gold I'm definitely going to put some more on this some Claymore claim more for standing still you catch the ball wide open you take that extra second to set your feet clay more activates boom good badge for when you have time to shoot in your wide open volume shooter same thing take a lot of shots take a lot of shots get more boost the more shots you take the more boost you get yeah this is what I'm running right now solid solid trying to core badges though uh playmaking brake started great for the wreck throwing brakes to obviously throw in the brakes uh R1 I win the ball as much as you can trust that you guys are running a good route deep and you get free buckets r19 this is break start is great stuff throws good passes um I have dime record right now just for just for an extra badge uh I might just Encore this to be honest with you uh uh no I guess that really doesn't matter keep my floor General might actually run special delivery here right now I'm trying to court needle threader that'll give him extra veggies but yeah break start is a must if you're playing wreck if you're a big man uh and then you kind of just put wherever you want special delivery is good for throwing lobs uh snap passes flash pass flashy passes so I believe the two months here break starter needle brake starter and needle threader after that you put them in the rest wherever you want needle threaders just it's just great especially this year I mean you stun people for throwing passes with needle thread air equipped so and freeze them so defensively take a look at this I said core badges you basically just get for having the badge equipped and you'll see that meter fill up quite a bit and that's when you're able to core badge so right now you see I grabbed a ton of rebounds and when I get the Hall of Fame which is eight points they use a tier three Hall of Fame bed I'm gonna get eight extra badges back that I can use just good stuff but you see since I got these five extra ones with the core anchor right there normally I have 34 defensive badges but instead I get 30 what am I using up right now 11 15 26. yes I mean you see here four five six seven eleven seventeen I got all these badges because the core you know it's pouring your badge is a grind this year it's but it's definitely worth it it makes your build more of a dummy God people complain about some bills this that and everything else you have to core your badges it's important gets you extra badges so find that two or three badge that you love the most um I also have to add before you can do tier three and try Corey tier three badge you have to use 10 badge points up in the tier one and tier two so if you want to grind the uh Hall of Fame tier 3 badge cost 10 of these points to activate tier three and then it's gonna take you eight more badges to use a Hall of Fame so you're gonna have to have 18 total badges in the category like available to you they can use 10 in the tier one and tier two and then use eight to equip here and then you grind it out you just you activate the badges many times as possible until the rebound Chaser fills all the way up don't worry about post game sometimes it tells you you finished it it's a little minor glitch in the game some of these grinding some of these cores like seem like they don't even work right sometimes but stay with the process watch the meter fill up as you go and that's all it's about if you have any more questions stuff like that anything about the this build in general be sure to check out the video Linked In the description solid build great build still stands up a weekend very solid build does
