Catch and Shoot - 2k23

Catch and Shoot - 2k23 Badge Description

For a short time after receiving a pass, the receiver's outside shooting attributes get a significant boost.
Primary Ball Handlers
Silver or None
If you like taking catch and shoot 3s then this badge is worth it on silver but if you primarily create 3s off the dribble you can skip this one.
Off Ball Guards / Locks
Silver or Hall of Fame
We like the return on silver. If you have a high 3 ball Hall of Fame is great.
Bigs
Silver
This is a pretty good option if you find yourself in the corner.
Catch and Shoot - 2k23 Test Details

To test catch and shoot we set up a script to take 200 shots every 10 milliseconds throughout the green window. We did this test on blacktop 2v2. This required us to have both defender controllers with a rubber band on the left stick so they ran out of bounds. We then had the script position the player in the corner, throw a pass and immediately call for it back for a catch and shoot shot.

Catch and Shoot - 2k23 Test Results

The results show silver looking really solid for all builds and hall of fame worth the investment if you have a high 3 ball and a lot of shooting badges to spend.

Badge Unlock Table Details

This table shows how many attribute points you need in order to unlock a badge at the level in the header. If a badge is a Tier 1 badge you do not need any attributes in order to unlock the badge at a bronze level. If its Tier 2 or 3, you will need to meet the attribute threshold to unlock the badge. If there is more than one attribute listed, you only need to meet the threshold on one of the attributes, not multiple.
