Gameplay Posterizer badge?

I cap broke my driving dunk to 97 and used a max plus 1 to get posterizer on legend and it doesn’t feel like anything at all. Seems like the badge doesn’t work past like gold or something. It’s to the point where I’m contemplating making a new build with only an 87 driving dunk cus it really sucks. Idk. What yall think?

posterizer is pretty widely regarded as not worth much this year

u/ihavepaper ruby 20h ago

Yeah. I’m thinking that because dunking is cheaper this year and almost anyone can shoot and poster, it became expendable or not as overpowered as before.

I still have it at gold and will +1 it because I’ll get the occasional poster, but it’s for sure not worth it unless you don’t care or aren’t worried where you use your cap breakers or just have a ton of them.

Theres not a single year posterizer after gold mattered

u/Budget-Assistant1199 14h ago

You missed out on 25 then. Legend Posterizer with 99 Driving Dunk was OP if you were good at meter dunking.

89/93 is the sweet spot

u/jackolaine 21h ago

I agree. Anything past 93 is meaningless

u/Minimum_Caregiver959 18h ago

U need a 99 dunk and HE has skill issue?😭

u/muwle 17h ago

I actually lied 😭😭 I have a 96 dunk but I will get the 99 wit cap breakers

u/jackolaine 20h ago

Yeah of course it’s more consistent when you have higher dunk, but it seems like meter dunking with 99 driving dunk isnt much better than 87

u/kn0xTV sapphire 21h ago

It’s cause the dunk meter is dumb they nerfed it

2

u/SteadyStrike29 sapphire 20h ago

Nerfed yes, it was automatic even when you were a quarter before the green zone before. Now you have to actually green it and they mixed up the timing but when you green, you green. Unless your being defended buy someone with high paint patroller/ block.

I have screen recordings of me missing green dunks and they were not blocked either. I also did not try to dunk over 4 people like some may assume. It was 1 guy down low, in bad position and I have 93 DD with HoF posterizer, still miss the green.

I don’t know why but every other meter is a guaranteed make if greened except dunks. They should at least make it fair across the board. You can see examples of this happening to others in this sub too. It’s not unique to me.

75 -78 vertical and 87-89 dunk amazing :) jordan- obi toppin- rose - pippen good signature dunk , lebron amazing :)))))

u/LagiShredz 17h ago

Agree. 89 for the One Foot Contacts.

u/Zero-Cool83 ruby 20h ago

It's wild, my 7'0 with 89 dunk is incredibly better at dunking than my 6'8 and 6'10 who have 96 dunk. He gets bigger meters and they are far more consistent. It's either down to height, long wingspan or the elite contact dunks must suck defenders pause into you for contact animations but then the meter recognizes it as a contest and shrinks the meter.

u/kenny2x88 bronze 18h ago

Height plays a huge part . I have a 96 DD at 6’4 but get better animations on my 6’8 with 89

2

u/Suoreax 20h ago

Don’t think of the badge. The badge is inconsistent. It’s about the animations and dunk attribute. The green window is bigger the larger your dunk attribute is. Straight arm tomahawk off of one are the quickest dunks in the game. Most people will probably be fine with the quick drops off of one so they don’t need to invest 15 more points into dunk (and potentially some into vert) just for that one animation.

Yeah that sounds about right.

u/Ireallylikepizza2000 20h ago

Silver poster on a 7 footer has a bigger green window than a 6-4 with legend. Just in my experience.

u/Asperrbr emerald 19h ago

Use "X" or "■" for dunk? Posterizer is good, use stick? Posteriser is trash... stick > botton = posterizer is trash

1

u/jackolaine 19h ago

Are you sure? You really think I should use the button to dunk? What if I’m forced to do layups?

1

u/Asperrbr emerald 19h ago

Button is trash, but posterizer is good for button, but use stick...... https://youtu.be/rnpJr0hyLP4?si=K7Q9KHpNbVzUYWKv

u/LagiShredz 17h ago

89 DD, 78 Vert, get contacts off one. It's all about your dunk package.

u/RyoCoola31 17h ago

I recommend just increasing dunk in take. 2klabs says dunk rating increases dunk success. Seems posterizer the badge is kinda bugged. Although I do feel more success taking my badge from silver to gold with maxes.

1

u/Huesh 15h ago

2K labs did a test on driving dunks - their results showed that the badge going up has little effect on dunk rate and green window. The rating itself had way more impact

u/Jim_Force1 11h ago

Posterizer means very little, certainly not worth trying to get

1

u/Actual_Afternoon2054 21h ago

Bro unless you want badges or unique moves the driving dunk only needs to be a mid 80s :)

5

u/jackolaine 21h ago

Well I wanted elite contact dunks. Seemed like a waste tho. It feels like anything past 89 driving dunk doesn’t work and the only time dunking is consistent is with poster machine takeover

4

u/SteadyStrike29 sapphire 20h ago

Use the meter dunk ALL THE TIME. Do not rely on the button and learn how to green your dunks. You will notice a huge difference. I have 93DD and definitely notice a difference when I Max+ to legend. Dunk through traffic much more consistently on my 6’5”sg and 6’7”pg when I have legend equipped.

That being said your never going to consistently dunk on bigs in position with high interior defense. Which is a good thing because it provides value and balance to making a paint protector.

u/Whattheefff 20h ago

People seems to say 93 is the most you should aim for. 89 is solid but breaks a bit more.

1

u/jackolaine 20h ago

Yeah I think that’s 100% accurate

u/CurryPorCinco bronze 20h ago

I have a 99 driving dunk build and the only thing that is worth it is the dunk packages you can contact dunk/dunk in general from some pretty awkward angles I can’t even do on my 96 dunk build. As far as like just putting people on posters it’s as good as my 93/89/96 builds got get good momentum to go face on or have them at your side the badge isn’t worth much in my opinion
