Bail Out

Bail Out is another returning badge. It remains one of the most effective playmaking badges in the game. You will find an increase in the chances of making successful passes while in the air. This is important, as dribbling has had a huge increase in the new 2k22 game. Opinion divides on what level it should be at, with bronze the lowest level for it to be effective. Pushing it to silver or gold will make it much more useful but again, this all depends on your playstyle.

Bullet Passer
