Clamps - 2k23 Test Details

We tested Clamps against a variety of different ball handlers. Each level of Clamps was tested against various levels of Clamp Breaker along with different ball control attribute thresholds. We looked at three separate data points such as the blow by, hip ride, and clamp animations to calculate the effectiveness of Clamps. We also calculated the cutoff speed of different levels of clamps. We did this by measuring the frames of cutoff animations at each clamps badge level.

Clamps - 2k23 Test Results

The test results show that HOF clamps will make it extremely difficult for ball handlers to get past you. The cutoff speed is also very fast at 31 frames. Silver is the best budget level for clamps. It is very effective at stopping gold and below clamp breaker. The chart shown here shows the clamped and hip ride animations percentage at each Clamps badge level compared to various clamp breaker badge levels.

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.
