Top Defensive Badges 2k22: Chase Down Artist

To test chase down artist we did our best to recreate the exact same chase down blocks at each badge level and then do a comparison of the number of frames it takes for each animation to complete. However, I don't think that the percentages that resulted really amount to anything reliable as recreating the animations exactly proved to be pretty difficult.

Should I use Chase Down Artist?

Yes, pretty much every single build should be using chase down artist on bronze. Bronze unlocks the chase down animations and triggers them pretty much every time you are in a chase down situation. The difference between bronze and hall of fame is related to the speed the animation occurs and the amount of distance it covers. However, the differences between each badge level are not significant enough to make it worth going past bronze.

Defensive badge points can be used in so many good ways that spending them to improve an already pretty good animation is not the best idea.
