Menace - 2k23 Badge Details
A C tier badge in 22 is the same in 23. It only activates on very tight defense, so the minor attribute drop wont matter much if they are already heavily contested

Menace - 2k23 Test Details
For this test we atempted to see if the ball handler could still momentum dribble while under the affects of menace. We also looked to see if having menace on would result in more steals
Menace - 2k23 Test Results
We assume the badge works like in year's past where the offensive player's attributes drop by 1 per badge level when being closely guarded. It does not work in close shot range. It will not result in more steals or clamp animations making the badge fairly useless. If the shooter is smothered, they will most likely miss anyway

|---|---|---|---|---|
Attribute Perimeter Defense | Bronze 0 or 55 | Silver 68 | Gold 77 | HoF 87 |
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.
