All NBA 2K24 Badge requirements: Ratings & Thresholds explained

Chris Studley
Kobe Bryant in NBA 2K24

With NBA 2K24 set to be released worldwide imminently, it’s time to plan out builds for MyCareer and The City. But in order to do that, it helps to know the Badge requirements.

In NBA 2K24, MyPlayers will have to deal with a different way to progress their Badges. But on top of that, Badges will also be limited, based on what a player’s specific max stats are.

For example, a stat like Ball Handle and how high it is will affect whether a player will have Bronze or Silver Badges, or have Hall of Fame potential.

Here’s an overview on the stat requirements for all the Badges in NBA 2K24, and how players can build up to Hall of Fame status.
