Defense/Rebounding Badges

Badges	Notes
Box	Improves the player's ability to box out opponents.
Brick Wall	Increases the effectiveness of screens and drains energy from opponents on physical contact. This badge makes it tougher for the defense to get through or around screens. Players hit by contact from a Brick Wall lose more energy than normal.
Chase Down Artist	Raises the chances of getting a chase-down block. Boosts the speed and leaping ability of a player when he is chasing down an offensive player in anticipation of a block attempt.
Clamps	Boosts the ability to stay in front of the ball handler on the perimeter. Defenders have access to quicker cut-off moves and are more successful when bumping or hip riding the ball handler.
Heart Crusher	Decreases opponents' Takeover meters when achieving a highlight play on defense. After successfully blocking or stealing the ball from an opponent, an additional penalty is given to the opposing player's Takeover meter.
Interceptor	Increases chances at getting steals in passing lanes.
Intimidator	Intimidates offensive players, causing them to miss shots more often. Offensive players have less success shooting when contested by players with this badge. It also boosts the shot defense ratings when tightly guarding an opponent.

Moving Truck	Strengthens a defender's ability to move people around in the post. Players are more effective, pushing opponents out of the post while playing defense.
