Do bronze badges matter?

Hey there,
forgive me for acting like a newbie, but seriously, do any of the skills like making shots from
long range (Limitless range) or making corner 3s (corner specialist) improve once I get the BRONZE badge
or it has to be upgraded to gold in order to have the effect?

Yup. Bronze badges are actually powerful this year. Hall of fame are better ofcourse and overpowered, but the there is not really a gap between bronze, silver, and gold. Hall of fame there is a gap though.

how do you know this?

Personal experience, I would imagine.

Speaking of which, having seen some players with Limitless Range bombing away from 30+ feet in 2K Pro-Am last night, I would say that they're definitely effective.

That's pretty cool then.
And how do they work?
I mean, I got one the other day (flashy passer) and once I throw a flashy pass it 'fills' up which means the next time I do it, there is a higher probability of ball reaching the receiver? The more it is filled the more chances I for success I have?. Am I getting it right?

It improves the percentages and provides boosts, yeah.

Thanks Andrew
