Best Finishing Badges in NBA 2K22: Which to Use
Here are the best Finishing Badges to equip for your MyPlayer in NBA 2K22, ranked in order of upgrade priority for those still in the middle of the Badge grind:
- Limitless Takeoff

To highlight some of the higher-tier Defensive Badges in the game, I'm going to start with the category's Top 2 Badges — Limitless Takeoff and Posterizer. Before I get grilled for putting a brand-new Badge on top of Posterizer, I'd like to emphasize that these two are more like 1A and 1B, going hand in hand with one another. The reason why Limitless Takeoff is slightly ahead is that regardless of if you have contact dunks, whether your build can't get them or you simply do not have enough VC to equip them, this new Badge allows you to begin your animations like Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Meanwhile, for those who are slashers with the best contact animations in the game, Posterizer remains the cream of the crop in allowing you to maximize your potential inside.
These next three Finishing Badges all help you do what you need to do in the paint. Slithery Finisher helps you get animations that keep you from getting blocked, Fearless Finisher helps you get more contact dunks and Unstrippable protects you from losing the ball.
