A large part of the NBA 2K21 experience is to build your own players, and 2K21 has made some changes to the team after several upgrades. The type of individual players depends largely on what you want to build—the type of team. Power forwards are usually similar to centers in physical fitness but usually have higher speed and shooting ability. This player is usually very versatile, so he can play a role in the penalty area and on both sides of the court.
For power forwards, they will rely on physical strength and a strong inside line at both ends of the court. Therefore, players should choose the corresponding badge to improve their stealing ability against defenders in the penalty area, complete scoring opportunities under the basket, and protect their basket from attackers.
Fancy Footwork
This is a finished badge that can provide better dunks or layups for certain drivers. This badge will be activated when spinning, half spinning, or jumping. Although dunking a defender in the penalty area is very interesting, performing the correct gathering action allows the player to completely bypass the defense and obtain a more effective scoring opportunity. This is one of the most useful badges for power forwards running around the basket in a game. If you do a lot of euros, reverse layups, or hop steps, then it's worth keeping. But if you don't, then it's not doing anything for you.
Pro Touch
Can improve the efficiency of timely layup attempts. This badge will be activated on any layup attempt that has an earlier, later or excellent layup timing. This badge is mainly used for contact layups. Together with contact with the terminator, it can greatly improve the ability to score inside lanes. Even in the face of a good defensive position, a power forward with this badge has a good chance of scoring against everyone but the most determined paint defender. This requires a player's attributes to achieve a close shot 65 (GOLD) 83 (HOF) or a layup 66 (GOLD) 84 (HOF) or OVR 96. If your player does not meet the attribute requirements, you can try to use some NBA 2K Buy MT to upgrade the player.
Chase Down
It can significantly boost the player's rate and also vertical attributes when attempting to chase after and block. This badge will certainly trigger when the gamer is behind a rapid break as well as attempting to block an opponent.

For those who want to reproduce LeBron James' block on Andre Iguodala, this badge will allow them to soar in the air as well.
Rim Protector
This badge can increase the chance of blocking shots, allow unique blocking animations, and provide assistance for the team to take over after successfully blocking. This badge will be activated when blocking shots. Power forwards have the task of defending their paint almost as frequently as team centers. Rim Protector is one of the best badges. It can prevent the slasher and the opposing big man from ending at the basket, allowing the player to have a greater deterrent effect on the opposing attacker.
insect
Worms are a defensive/rebounding badge that allows players to swim or spin around their opponents more easily when suspended. This badge will activate whenever a player tries to punch their opponent. One of the best ways for a power forward to please his teammates is to be a good glass cleaner. The worm will improve the player's ability to put himself in the best position to get rebounds, whether it is to return the ball or end the defensive sequence.
