NBA 2K23 is a popular basketball game that is enjoyed by millions of people around the world. However, with its popularity comes a lot of myths and misconceptions that can make it difficult for players to understand the game fully. In this guide, we will debunk the truth behind 10 of the most common myths about NBA 2K23.

 

• Acceleration Helps on Defense
• Killer Combos Make You Explode Faster
• Menace Badge Gives You More Cutoff Animations As A Defender
• Vice Grip Badge Is Equal To Your Glue Hands Badge
• Skill Boost Gives You Plus One Attribute
• Workhorse Boosts Normal Rebounding
• Tendencies Affect User Controlled Players
• Catch and Shoot Badge Speeds Up Your Shot
• Speed with Ball Is Useful

Acceleration Helps on Defense

Myth: Acceleration helps in defense.

Truth: This is false. Acceleration only applies to your first couple of steps when you have the ball. It does nothing for your defensive capabilities.

 

Killer Combos Make You Explode Faster

Myth: Killer Combos make you explode faster.

Truth: Again, this is false. The Killer Combos badge only makes it easier for you to switch dribbles. It does not increase your dribbling speed.

 

Menace Badge Gives You More Cutoff Animations As A Defender

Myth: The Menace badge gives you more cutoff animations as a defender.

Truth: This is false as well. The only reason why the Menace badge activates after a cutoff is that the ball handler got close to you after the cutoff. It doesn't boost the actual cutoff itself.

 

Vice Grip Badge Is Equal To Your Glue Hands Badge

Myth: Vice Grip Badge is equal to your Glue Hands Badge.

Truth: This is also false. Vice Grip Badge is concerned with ball security, while the Glue Hands Badge concerns the quality of the catch and how fast you can transition to the next move.

 

Skill Boost Gives You Plus One Attribute

Myth: Skill Boost gives you a plus one attribute.

Truth: This is also false. There are a lot of variables that the game calculates under the hood, so the boost doesn't directly add to your attributes.

 

Workhorse Boosts Normal Rebounding

Myth: Workhorse boosts normal rebounding.

Truth: This is technically true, but most players think that it helps with the actual rebound when you know you get the ball. This is false. Workhorse only applies to rebounds when the ball hits the ground first.

 

Tendencies Affect User Controlled Players

Myth: Tendencies affect user-controlled players.

Truth: This is false. Tendencies only affect players that are controlled by the AI.

 

Catch and Shoot Badge Speeds Up Your Shot

Myth: The Catch and Shoot Badge speeds up your shot.

Truth: This is false as well. The Catch and Shoot Badge only concerns the actual make percentage. It doesn't touch any other aspect.

 

Speed with Ball Is Useful

Myth: Speed with Ball is useful.

Truth: This can sometimes be true, but most of the time, it is not. It only kicks in after four steps from your launch, and it won't have a significant effect on your game.

 

Gateway Boost Doesn't Work

Myth: Gateway Boost doesn't work.

Truth: This is false. Gateway Boost works. It might not have the most mind-blowing effects, but it does still work.
