NBA 2K24 reportedly eliminates NBA 2K23 MyCareer Badges, including Clutch Shooter, Floor General and more 

NBA 2k24 is set to release next month, and fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to create their NBA MyPlayer characters. Year after year, fans immediately flock to 'The City' with their MyPlayer to take on rival teams and compete with the best of the best in the 'Rec'.

Of course, with the release of NBA 2k24 comes a slew of changes that will force players to both adapt their play-style and create their players differently. With the release of NBA 2k24 right around the corner, a report from 2kIntel, a reputable source within the 2k community, has indicated some big changes.

Players will no longer have the same selection of badges when creating their MyPlayers. Compared to the previous iteration of the game, a number of popular badges have been removed.

Amped - Reduces the penalty that fatigue has on a player and their ability to make shots

Clutch Shooter - Shot attempts that occur during the final moments of the 4th quarter, or in any overtime period, receive a large boost
