Unpluckable - 2k23

Unpluckable - 2k23 Badge Description

Unpluckable makes defenders have a tougher time poking the ball free with their steal attempts
95 Ball Control
Gold Unpluckable
Gold Unpluckable provides a lot of value as you can see in the test results. Instead of using HOF Unpluckable use Gold. The extra badge point you save can be utilized elsewhere.
84-75 Ball Control
Gold Unpuckable
Gold is the target we aim for with Unpluckable. The value is just to good to not use it. Steals are strong in 2K23 so having Gold Unpluckable can help negate that.
75-65 Ball Control
Silver Unpluckable
Silver Unpluckable is a ok threshold but not needed. If you can not afford it because of badge points its ok to spend them elsewhere. If you can have it on your build it will really help against low to mid level steal rating.
Unpluckable - 2k23 Test Details

We tested each level of Unpluckable against a variety of different defenders. Throughout the test we recorded data of each steal attempt to calculate the effectiveness of Unpluckable. The defenders we tested against each had Glove with different thresholds of steal 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.

Unpluckable - 2k23 Test Results

The results show that HOF and Gold Unpluckable are effective. The value for Gold based on badge points and attribute cost are great. If your build can only get Silver Unpluckable it won't hurt to have it on if you can afford it because it will help against low to mid level steal ratings. The chart on the page shows the pluck percentage against various defenders.

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.
