Players can become shooting machines in many different areas of the court with the new and improved Shooting Badges included in NBA 2K22. The Shooting Badges that players will require will vary depending on where the shots are coming from. A three-point shooter aspiring to be the next Steph Curry may choose to earn some of the deep Shooting Badges, whereas a player like KD or Khris Middleton will benefit from earning the mid-range and spot-up Shooting Badges. However, while the best Shooting Badges vary depending on the player's NBA 2K MT, the following are the best overall Shooting Badges to equip in NBA 2K22.

Deadeye Deadeye increases a player's shooting ability when he or she is being closely guarded or closed out on.
At higher tiers, this badge can even be used to shoot through defensive contests, which is extremely useful for getting shots off in tight situations. If you are a player who has difficulty sinking jumpers over obnoxious defenders, a few Deadeye badge tiers will significantly increase your chances of success on these contested shots.

Shots that are difficult to make
A few badges can improve a player's ability to make moving shots such as step-backs, spin jumpers, and pull-ups, but Difficult Shots is the most comprehensive. When compared to other badges, Difficult Shots provides a slight boost to all moving shots within the three-point line. Using the Chef or Circus Threes for moving three-point shot boosts will allow players to pull off difficult three-point shots solely for three-point attempts.

'Catch and Fire'
In every 2K game, the Catch and Shoot badge has proven to be lethal for pure shooters. This year, in order to earn the Catch and Shoot badge, you must have a three-point shot rating of at least 66. In Pro-Am, this badge is one of the most anticipated features in NBA 2K22 if your team requires a great shooter who is waiting to be set up for great shots.

A new badge in NBA 2K22, Blinders, enhances a player's ability to shoot shots that are contested from the side.
This badge is ideal for players who like to shoot off picks or pull-up with a step on the defender. Due to the fact that Blinders affects both mid-range and three-point shots, it is an extremely useful badge. Close-outs will be less important on jumpers when used in conjunction with Deadeye.

Green Machine is a term that refers to a machine that is green in color.
Green Machine provides excellent timing releases on consecutively green shots, which is boosted by the NBA MT. Obviously, this badge is not for everyone, but with enough practice, it can wreak havoc on opponents and render a player virtually unstoppable. If you are a player who struggles to get green shots, here are a few tips to help you improve your shooting. Green Machine requires players to have impeccable timing on their shots, but if you are one of those players, here are a few alternatives to help you improve your shooting. Boosts jump shots taken near the corner with his Corner Specialist ability. Rythym Shooter — Immediately after sizing up with dribble moves, a boost in shooting ability is provided. Hotzone Hunter — Increases the player's ability to shoot in hot zones by a factor of two.
