NBA 2K18: MyCareer Tips and Tricks
Splurging VC on attribute points might be the fastest way to improve your character, but it’s not the only way. Badges improve your character’s performance during certain scenarios and increase your character’s stats. Unlike with upgrading attributes, you actually need to perform badge-specific maneuvers to unlock and upgrade them.
Unlocking badges such as Deadeye, which requires you to shoot contested shots, can be quite difficult to do during matches if your character still has a low attribute rating in shooting twos and threes. To easily circumvent this dilemma, simply perform these maneuvers in the Team Practice Facility. You can choose which badge to work on by selecting the badge in the Team Practice Facility.
For some drills, you can choose skill drills (badge-specific exercises) and scrimmage drills. Skill drills are the fastest way to unlock and level up your badge, considering the whole exercise solely focuses on badge-specific maneuvers. Meanwhile, scrimmage drills are more general practices where you can level up multiple badges, just like in a regular match.
You can do a total of three practice drills after each NBA match. The number of practice drills you can do doesn’t stack up, so make sure to return to the Team Practice Facility after each match to work on your badges.
