Brick Wall - 2k23 Test Details

To test Brick wall we recorded the data of hundreds of screen interactions against a variety of defenders with Pick dodger. Each animation would be recorded to calculate the effectiveness of Brick wall. We also tested the impact Brick wall has on post play. The two things we recorded was the stamina drain percentage and how difficult it was to be moved in the post.

Brick Wall - 2k23 Test Results

The results regarding the screens using Brick wall are fairly linear. Gold Brick wall provides the most value for total badge and attribute cost. We also noticed that having Brick wall equipped has a huge impact on getting backed down in the paint. We calculated a 100% difference between no Brick wall equipped compared to HOF Brick wall. The chart on the page shows the effectiveness of each level of Brick wall vs each level of Pick Dodger.
