To test Mini Marksman, we took 200 shots for every 5 milliseconds throughout the green window for each badge level and no badge. For the first test the defender was 4 inches taller and had an 85 Per. Def., while the offensive player had a 92 3PT rating. For the second test the defender was 7 inches taller and had an 85 Per. Def., while the offensive player had a 92 3PT rating.
Mini Marksman test-results
Avg Make % vs 4" Height Difference
- Legend = 55%
- HoF = 53%
- Gold = 52%
- Silver = 50%
- Bronze = 49%
- None = 46%
The Bronze and Silver levels provide a modest boost, but not significant enough to notice a difference. If you're playing a small guard, you will have a relatively high 3PT. The Gold level is where you see the separation from the lower levels. Gold provides a 6% increase when compared to no badge. HoF is close to Gold as it only provides a 1% increase in average make percentage. The Legend level looks very good, it's almost on par with a wide open shot at the middle of the green window.
Avg Make % vs 7" Height Difference
- Legend = 53%
- HoF = 51%
- Gold = 48%
- Silver = 45%
- Bronze = 42%
- None = 39%
When the height difference is 7 inches, the make percentages were much lower due to the bigger defender. Hall of Fame and Legend levels still provided a good boost. And if you're a small guard, 6'3 or shorter, you're trolling if you're not going with a high 3PT rating.
