Amen brother.

5 gold badges are ok, since we can still get bronze badges of others right? I made a glass cleaner center, I should be able to still get a bronze eraser or chase down artist. Im not sure if this is true. Can anyone clarify?

I like the 5 Gold Badges, as long as the CPU doesn't cheese and be OP with the amount of Gold badges it may have. If it's even, then I'm all for it. I want to see how this plays out in the game. Especially the Park because I couldn't stand the Park the past couple of years. I'm never with the arcade cheese play. If this balance attempt pans out, then they are definitely headed in the right direction.

Correct, you can earn other badges but will only be bronze versions.

I don't think many nba players will have a lot of gold badges since they did this. Bronze badges are still there. And the new hall of fame badges will be interesting. I for one love the idea of everyone having certain limitations. Both archetype restrictions and badge restrictions will make this 2k a very interesting one in terms of - will we still have players who suck but are only good because of ratings?. I want these restrictions for example to make people play smarter. Less ballhogs - more passing - better shot selection - have an actual basketball IQ in order to succeed to the best potential.

I actually like the badge system...it rewards the user if a player is utilized a certain way, If I get a badge because Kemba is draining 3s, I'll keep feeding him...especially because of the incentive he's received. I do think that there should be a timer or something where you cannot sustain the badge all game unless user play actually achieves it in full. I'm also not certain how well they are countered...i.e. if a 3-pt gold is countered by a lock-down defender.

Either way...conceptually wise, I like the idea.

It's very extreme.. 5 gold and the rest are bronze - no silvers..

I appreciate the direction or goal or focus albeit the implementation was a bit strict. I would expect them to put more consideration into the badge mix in 18... I'd also be OK with not being able to get all bronze badges - put a tighter restriction there too but give us a pyramid system of about 5, 10, 10, or 5, 10, 5..

I created a defense first PF. I don't think I should have charge card. I'm not really looking at picking up a charge on a guard. I'd much rather have them attack the paint and I block their shot. What I'd recommend is having the 5 gold badges, but only making 4 of them locked. The 5th could be a free slot assigned by the user. I'd swap Charge Card with Break Starter.

I get your point but this would go against their whole new concept of making players more specialised. Allowing Big Centres access to a badge like limitless range for instance - there would be too many super builds
