To test Ankle Assassin, we automated one of Koza's dribble sequences and used a modded controller to record the amount of light and heavy stuns against a defender with an 80 Per. Def. We did this on HoF difficulty and attempted the same combo 200 times, which was an escape, escape, and then a snatch back. We did this at each badge level and without the badge.

To test Limitless Range we used a modded controller in a controlled environment so every rep is nearly identical. We took 200 shots for every 5 ms throughout the green window for each badge level and without the badge. For reference, the green window is 60 ms wide, which makes that about 2400 shots at each badge level. In total we took over 30,000 shots. We tested each badge level at a 92 3PT rating.

To test Handles for Days, we had the players perform a Kobe Bryant escape turbo cross and a Vince Carter snatch back. By doing so we can execute consistent dribble moves without the game registering that we're spamming or losing adrenaline. We then time-coded clips from each badge level and turned the difference into a percentage.
