NBA 2K23 is just around the corner, which means we're about to introduce a brand new badge system. While we can't yet provide a full list of NBA 2K23 badge tiers, we already know the full list of new badges and which ones have been removed or merged into existing badges for this year's games.
NBA 2K23 introduces a brand new badge system, and divides the badges into multiple tiers, with some additional badge slots available for all players. The team at Visual Concepts has also consolidated or removed some badges outright based on telemetry data that will help determine which badges are heavily used and which are not heavily used at all.

In our guide to NBA 2K23 badges, we'll share a full list of the new badges, and note how some of them have changed and which ones will disappear when the game launches on September 8.

Below is the full list of 20 new badges, change badges and 12 badges that will be completely removed in 2023.
