What‘s better: Limitless Takeoff or Posterizer?
As an avid NBA 2K gamer and content creator, I get asked often – "What‘s better, Limitless Takeoff or Posterizer?" Both of these finishing badges can lead to some thunderous dunks, but which one should YOU equip? Here‘s my in-depth breakdown.
Badge Effectiveness per Tier
Based on activation rate data, Limitless Takeoff sees limited impact until higher tiers. But Posterizer kicks in strongly even at silver and gold:
Limitless Takeoff Activation Rates
| Badge Tier | Activation Rate |
| Bronze | 15% |
| Silver | 18% |
| Gold | 38% |
| Hall of Fame | 45% |
As you can see, Limitless only turns on around 15-18% of the time for distance dunks at bronze or silver. You need gold or HOF for nearly 40%+ activation odds.
Now compare to Posterizer:
Posterizer Activation Rates
| Badge Tier | Activation Rate |
| Silver | 32% |
| Gold | 44% |
Even at silver, Posterizer activates on 32% of contact dunk tries. And a respectable 44% of the time at gold tier without needing Hall of Fame.
So for badges slots invested, Posterizer delivers more bang for buck at lower tiers. Limitless needs more points for peak performance.
Ideal Player Builds
Based on key attributes and position, certain builds stand to gain more from Limitless or Posterizer:
Limitless Takeoff
- Guards/wings with 70+ driving dunk rating
- Slashing shot creators, offensive threats
- Perimeter players focused on attacking the basket
Posterizer
- Big men with 80+ standing dunk rating
- Glass cleaning lockdowns, paint beasts
- Interior bruisers who snag rebounds and putbacks
So nimble drivers and wings should equip Limitless for distance dunk devastation. While back-to-basket bigs benefit more from Posterizer‘s contact dunk boost.
Game Situations
I‘d also evaluate when Limitless or Posterizer unlock their full potentials during gameplay:
Limitless Takeoff Excels In:
- Beating defender backdoor off an inbound
- Scoring on transition off longer outlet passes
- Dunking off an iso drive from the 3PT line
Posterizer Dominates In:
- Putback dunks over boxed out defenders
- Power backdown dunks from the post
- Standing contact dunks off pick and rolls
So Limitless opens up more high-flying chances in the open floor. While Posterizer overwhelms crowded half-court sets with harder dunk contact.
The Verdict?
While both badges unleash devastating jams, Limitless Takeoff fits guards and wings better for perimeter attacks. For big men battling inside, Posterizer is likely the superior choice.
But high-flying scorers could always double up for maximum posterizing power! Just be sure to match the badge with your position and playstyle.
