My HARDEST test so far: REBOUND CHASER badge STATS on NBA 2K24 

Feels good to finally make stats for this badge! Please leave any recommendation for a topic, I'll see what I can do!

I think something still underrated by the community is boxing your man out. Even if you yourself don’t get the board it makes a world of a difference. You don’t NEED a 90+ rebounds you just have to play to your strengths and actively be thinking what’s keeping you from the rebound. Some games it’s just easy getting boards clunking off the rim and some games your opponent literally is only there for rebounds and will ultra focus on boxing you out and tricking you into contesting so they can get a board. That’s when you need to counteract and be a step ahead. Box his ass out keep fighting for position like you would in real life and I promise you’ll see and feel a change in your play.

That's a wonderful idea and a nice way to test the badge! Great intuition! Hats off to you!

Is the rebounding animation at 79 as good as the animation gets or is there better animations at 80+?

Now that the post/midrange game is getting popular, it'd be nice to have a test on what's more important for contesting post fades between interior and perimeter defense

Do you have this for Blocks aswell? Same thing would be dope!

Wow this was a great video

boxout beast

For everyone making bigs 2k hides rebound animation thresholds. Last year I found them to be at every flat 10 rating (60, 70, 80 etc). I had 2 6’11s last year with the same rebounding badges but one had a 71 o reb and the other had a 90 (both had a 94 d reb). I thought the gold rebound chaser and hof boxout would make up for the low o reb but it was absolute trash I couldn’t box out and my player would barely jump for the ball, then he would get these Superman defensive rebounds. In the builder I remember it saying rebound and vertical unlock “rebound content” which I took to mean animations so I tried it and found that you really get those snag animations from having a high rebound and vert. 80 would be good 90 would be elite 99 felt the same as 90 but you just got hof rebound chaser. The rebound chaser badge in my experience just gives you the lunge animations to cover more ground. Boxouts and worms are based on rebound and strength and boxout beast helps but if u have 1 rebound rating lower, the hof boxout will not save you. So I remade the build and he was a monster with the double 90 reb. I was getting a super aggressive snag almost every single play as long as I was somewhere near the hoop. I’m making a big soon and I’m definitely getting both my rebound ratings above 90.

please consider testing how height affects jumpshot contest. community is saying that shorter guards get contested way more than bigger guards but how big is the difference. thank you for the vids

I have a 6'9" with 85 vert and 99 rebound and I am snagging SO many boards over the 7 foot and up crowd. I am loving it!

I'm a SF, that has been a really good rebounder the last 3/4 2k games. I usually only have bronze or silver rebound chaser(rating high 70s and low 80s) but boxing out is really key, I get boards over big men with high 90s all the time. It's all about timing, boxing out and knowing where the rebound is coming from.

Been with u since the start Salute 🫡 2k Tutes 🐐

I got a 7'1 with gold rebound chaser, and a 6'8 with hall of fame. That hall of fame hit different

Tutes, this was brilliant, well done cracking the code on this one

So If I want a 99 def rebound to get Hof reb chaser, I can then just set my offensive rebound to 51 and save points?

I only have 85 off and def rebound....but I have 88 vert. I'm avg 16rpg I'm only 69

Is this test proving u can have a 99 defensive rebound and only a 60 offensive rebound and be good?

I have 85 def rebound and 70 off rebound and I get like 20 rebounds a game in MyCareer. I think the next test should be on Boxout Beast cause that's a very important badge that also correlates with your rebound ratings.

boxout beast badge and vert/str are just as important for rebounds imo

Hey tutes can you do a video on do you receive a boost on shooting step backs sidesteps and fades with the right stick vs. Shooting step backs sidesteps and fades with square 😊🤔

99 strength or 99 reb 😊

Wow rebound animations thresholds 😳🤯 good find tutes

I'd love to see dimer/other passing badge stats. Made a 98 pass acc PG before you posted the pass acc video, and really hoping the hof badges are a big improvement over gold since the speed of the pass doesn't increase after 90

Can you do a test on how much of a boost the juice takeovervperk gives and a ranking of all of them ?

93 rebound feels good but I can feel the 99 rebound as well

Pogo stick badge! Thanks

Very creative! Honestly, you deserve to be among the top viewed 2k channels!!

My friend is a casual 2k player and he grabs 20 to 35 rebounds every game on Rec w/ 99 rebounding/HOF rebound chaser. It's great

amazing content brother, tysm

Where is the glove stats can’t even make my next build I been waiting on that so long

I feel just fine with gold rebound chaser and hof box out beast. I never miss a rebound unless I’m just completely out of position

I got 30 offensive rebounds with a 97 rebound aka I get 99 rebound

Tutes, u da truth. After u and 2k labs were ‘called outI’m for misinformation, I was curious to see how u would respond. U were even MORE in depth with this video. Just to clear the air. I appreciate u for the work u put in. Ima forever sub 💪🏼

Rebound Chaser doesn't just improve your rebounding range and animations; 2K decides who is the 'destined' rebounder as soon as the shot goes up. You'll know when you aren't it because you get the weak, lazy rebound animation OR you get butterfingers. Rebound Chaser increases the odds of the ball coming towards you and grabbing the rebound even in contested situations. Aerial Wizard also does this as well. It indirectly helps offensive rebounding since it is used to boost putbacks. You need an offensive rebound to get a putback right?

Damn, what a finding

Anyone else having trouble leveling up backdown punisher?

Can you test clamps? Is hof worth it

Thank you

I didn't even see tha entire vid while I'm sending this comment... And i wish i had it on gold instead of tha silver on my 6'7 SF

Blow by next please ? We need to know about silver and gold related to acceleration

test all catch and shoot badges that activate for spot up shooters,

Tutes notis come in. I grab my phone. Wife thinks it's a chick. Thanks tutes lol

really great test and very effective convincing and creative way of testing the rebound chaser badge. you are the Best.

Is it better to have 85 def R 80 off R with 85 vert or 92 def R 65 off R with 80 vertical ? What do y’all think cuz u get gold reb chaser on the latter but probably less of those explosive animations with an 80 vert. Does anyone have experience help

What would you recommend for a 6’11 SF? Bronze or Silver rebound?

Hot damn just do the glove test already

Please do fast twitch and interceptor

Tutes you out did yourself on this one

How to get rebound chaser to go up mines been stuck at bronze & i already played a couple of seasons in mycareer smh

Vertical and length, height matters also

Right on time,Thank you so much!

Acrobat and if it affects other layups like gathers for bunny and 2step badges, also blinders vs deadeye

Could you do an aerial wizard test?

Need new anchor test

PLEASE TEST T MAC JUMPSHOT

Thanks for all your work in testing this stuff.

Groundbreaking analysis as always. Thank you.

Nice video! When do you plan to do Rise Up/Fast Twitch?

thanks tutes luv you

Can u test at what point u want to jump to grab a rebound

We appreciate your efforts

If I pass the threshold on my defensive rebound attribute do i get the better animation on my offensive rebounds too??

When is the rest of the motion styles for small guard coming up? Been waiting with Caruso at the moment 😊

DEADEYE TEST

Good job🙌

13k in 1 day tutes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

All ima say is you can do more with less if you play right

99 STRENGTH

I have been having issues with close-shot rating. I have made a couple of Center builds in NBA 2k24 and all of them have at least a 90 Standing Dunk, 92 Post Control, none of them have any 3pt and the highest mid-range is a 59. Between 3 of the center builds, the things that vary are the close-shot, layup and dunk ratings. Examples: A 90 Close Shot rating with a high post control is suppose to give you Post Fade Phenom on Gold yet, I can not get a green window on any of my post fades. Post Fade Phenom is an A tier badge and I can not get it to activate due to a bug that won't get me a green window, unless I have over a 60 mid range. Yet, I am able to post hooks from the freethrow line with no mid-range rating? Another issue is even with HOF Pro-Touch, HOF Dream Shake, Gold Masher, and Gold Dropstepper, I still struggle to make close contested shots with a 90 Close Shot rating. Yet the same shots with another build that has a high 70s layup and low close shot is able to score. The issue here isn't the green window but that by the time I am holding my right stick in a direction to attempt the shot, the shot meter is already ending and I have a millisecond to release to early and pump fake or miss the green window completely. Could be a latency issue but I don't think so. Please Test if you have time thanks.

Can you test brick wall

So all you need is silver then? Since silver and gold is the same
