NBA 2K20 news has been trickling out the last week, but not through the regular avenues you would expect. Several 2K developers have been chiming in and answering questions on Twitter that fans have been asking. Gameplay Director Mike Wang has arguably been the most active, and has spoken about new and returning badges quite a bit. It’s definitely a sign that there will (or should) be an official info dump with badge information coming soon. I went ahead and consolidated as much of the badge information I could here in advance so the community could get an idea of the badges.

Final Thoughts
Not much information has been released yet about these badges and Mike Wang did mention that a lot of the badges from NBA 2K19 will be returning in NBA 2K20. One thing to note that he mentioned within his tweets was that several badges were retooled or reworked, some which are seen under the “What’s New” section above. Make sure to stay tuned into Mike Wang’s Twitter account as he’s been posting gems over the last few days.
