I've tried this, and I wholeheartedly DO NOT AGREE.


My main goal in adjusting sliders and badges is to make the computer play itself. I believe if cpu v cpu game play works well, the sliders are perfect. I've not gotten there, but I've made some really organic game play.


The problem with some badges is that they don't take into account other factors. Like, if a guy is 7 foot+, he shouldn't have more than bronze reb chaser, imo. But the difference between bronze and nothing is immense. If a guy like Kareem is 7'2 and has gold reb chaser, he is just flying all over the place and getting 30 rebounds a game.



A lot of the badges really help, though. I dunno if I can honestly think of one badge that I would say is bad for playing v cpu or cpu v cpu. I would suggest going through and downgrading badges first. I think you might find a better result giving everyone who has Hof the bronze version and taking badges away from everyone else.


The game without badges is just weird. Might be different in 24, but in 23 and before it was like that.

Yep! Part of 2K's problem w/ badges is they are all or nothing. The best players are all Golds irrespective of how they actually play, which plays into why they feel massively unbalanced.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has 41 badges. 28 are Gold and only ONE is a Bronze.

Isaiah Joe and Gordon Hayward have 3 badges.
Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, Kenrich Williams have zero. Basically their entire bench rotation has 6 combined, despite the fact that most role players are specialists - they excel in one area but aren't good enough across the board to actually start.

--------------------------------

Jumping into the LeBron Era roster:

Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose: 40 badges (11 HOF, 21 Gold)
Kyle Korver: 5 badges (All Gold)
Luol Deng: 4 badges (All Gold)
Ronnie Brewer: 1 badge (Bronze Needle Threader, nothing for defense)

New Orleans Hornets
Chris Paul: 54 Badges (3 HOF, 21 Gold)
David West: 3 Badges (1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze)
Emeka Okafor: 1 Badge (Bronze Killer Combos??????)

Of course the game is going to feel unbalanced when the design is so heavily skewed towards offensive players

I’ve always liked the idea of the badge system, because I think we’ve moved beyond static numbers determining play on the court..

I think the last two posts nailed the issue right on its head.

In recent weeks I’ve played a badgeless 2k and a edited 2K where the badges were meticulously added/subtracted on PC and I would say the latter is peak.

Is that roster available on PS5?

Agreed. Zero badges is just too underpowered. That said, if I had to choose between zero badges and the default badge assignments, I would choose zero. This is what I’ve done on console in the past, since however meticulously you assign badges, it’s all ruined by Player Progression in the offseason, and it’s too much trouble to meticulously deal with every summer in your league. So on console, if you have any intention of playing beyond a roster’s starting season, I sorta feel like it’s gotta be zero or default.

To get around this on PC I built a badge generator that takes advantage of the data import/export functionality of 2K Tools (fan-made roster editing program). You export a player’s attributes, paste them into the generator (which converts the attribute data to appropriate badge data according to my system, which hands out badges much more sparingly), then paste the resultant badge data back into 2K Tools for the player. Takes only seconds for a single player, so it’s much less of a hassle to deal with every offseason, plus 2K Tools has some recently added batch-processing features that might make it even quicker, though I haven’t experimented with them yet.

Game changer. Also i set ball security all the way down to zero and im seeing more loose balls,tipped rebounds and as well as charging and blocking fouls.

A issue is everyone gets worn out without some badges
