Glove - 2k23 Badge Description

Glove increases the ability to successfully steal from ball-handlers

99 Steal

HOF Glove

If your build has 99 steal you should be using HOF Glove. It is very powerful against silver and lower unpluckable levels.

95 Steal

Gold Glove

Based on our test Gold Glove is not far off from HOF Glove. The difference is minimal. Based on attribute cost and bade points Gold actually gives the most value.

85-64 steal rating

Silver Glove

Silver glove is a nice to have but not necessary. The data we collected shows it is only very effective against players with low ball control. Bronze glove is pretty much not viable. The value you get is low and probably better off using the badge points elsewhere.

Glove - 2k23 Test Details

We tested each level of Glove against a variety of different ball handlers. Throughout the test we recorded data of each steal attempt to calculate the effectiveness of Glove. The ball handlers we tested against each had Unpluckable with different thresholds of ball control according to the badge level. The test we conducted does not take into account "bump steals" or "body up steals". The ballhandler also had max stamina and max adrenalin boost.

Glove - 2k23 Test Results

The results we gathered show that Gold and HOF Glove dominates players with low ball control. The steal rating required to acquire Gold and HOF Glove are expensive but well worth it. If your build can only get Silver glove it will only be effective against players with no ball control/Unpluckable. The chart on the page shows the pluck percentage against various ball handlers.

Attribute Steal	Bronze 0 or 64	Silver 85	Gold 95	HoF 99

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.
