Deadeye - 2k23 Badge Details
Activating deadeye is much easier in 2k23 than it was in 2k22. In past years contests activated either blinders OR deadeye. This year there is a lot of crossover on when the badges activate.

NBA2k23 Shooting Badges

Deadeye - 2k23

Deadeye - 2k23 Badge Description

Jump shots taken with a defender closing out receive less of a penalty from a shot contest.
90+
Gold
Get to Gold Deadeye if you're going to take it but typically we like Blinders better.
80-89
Bronze
If you want this badge we like the return on bronze better than silver but most players should skip this badge.
79 and Below
None
Tier 3 badge is going to be too expensive here.
Deadeye - 2k23 Test Details

To test blinders we set up a script to take 200 jumpers every 5 milliseconds for a 65 millisecond window and measured the make rate against a defender contesting with an average rating of 10-20%.

Deadeye - 2k23 Test Results

Deadeye appears to provide a decent boost when shooting against lightly contested shots but in general these shots are not ones worth targeting. However, if you are a more competitive player who has no choice but take contested shots then deadeye on Gold is a great option.

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.
