I like this suggestion

Badges don't need to be policed. People need to start getting with the program and grind for your badges and play to the best of your abilities and quit complaining. If its cheese, I'm sure the community will notice and the devs will adjust as needed, but enough about these badges needing to be removed. 2K is tei months away from release, let's just see what the devs came up with and play ball.

people here have a lot of great idea about badges , another idea is and I'm sure the majority wont like it , every player can only get his badges no more bronze badge , only the badges you can upgrade to GOLD

Funny you say this.


I just did an experiment with HOF badges in MyLeague and the differences were extremely noticeable. Even low rated shooters were knocking them down. I play on custom sliders where the 2s are set to 38.








So I think badges trump game difficulty

Either separate them or totally integrate them like Live 18 is planning to do.








I should be able to get attribute upgrades for games played in walk on and Pro Am. Its utterly senseless to me that guys who log 1500 park games still have to grind in MyCAreer for upgrades. Seems like a waste of time. Some ppl flat out don't care about playing with their fave NBA players. They wanna run online and online only.

I'm just going to list out each individual badge that I think the game can do without and give my reasons why I think it shouldn't be in the game.

Corner Specialist- Why is there a badge that boosts shot accuracy from both corners on the 3 point line when there is already a HOT SPOT system in this game? Having all of these mechanics that boost shooting be stackable made the 3 point rating not even matter in this game.

Green releases meaning automatic make played a factor in this, but even with the easiest jump shot bases and quickest releases on the non-shooting archetypes, NONE of them would shoot a shot from any other spot. My own teammate has told me that he only shoots 3s in the corner with his slasher because those are the only spots where he can get green releases.

The only difference I can see between the two corners and the other spots behind the 3 point line, is the stacking of HOT SPOTS, the CATCH AND SHOOT badge, and CORNER SPECIALIST. Boost on top of boost on top of another boost. The badge isn't needed.

Posterizer- Why is this badge needed when there is a CONTACT DUNK rating? You don't need this badge to dunk on people if you have the dunk and contact dunk ratings to equip the contact dunk dunk packages on your player. I've gotten contact dunks with NBA players that have sub 80 dunk and sub 40 contact dunk in this game(without the posterizer badge at all), you can't tell me that Slashers with 90+ dunk ratings need to be boosted in this category.



76 rated Gold Michael Kidd-Gilchrist just punched it on Lamarcus Aldridge with no slashing badges. Look at his dunk ratings, they're not even good.

Catch and Shoot-Difficult Shots-Mid-Range/Deep-Range Deadeye- There are ratings for ALL of these areas of shooting.

There are open shot ratings for Catch and Shoot.

There are off the dribble shot ratings for Difficult shots.

There are contested shot ratings for the Deadeyes.

You shouldn't have to stack boosts on top of boosts to make these shots. If there is a rating for the specific situation then the rating alone should determine the success of the shot.

*Limitless Range should be a personality badge. Having every Sharpshooter/Stretch Big spot up so far behind the line that you can't even see them on 2k cam is ridiculous. What makes it worse is that they can shoot 70% from Curry range because they have a stack(Catch and Shoot) on top of a stack(Hot Spot) on top of a stack(Limitless Range) on top of another gosh darn stack(Dimer)....

This is my basic train of thought concerning this badge situation. You can apply it to more badges but my main problem is with these 6 because I believe they contributed mostly to the game this year playing arcadey. Some other badges off the top of my head that fit this criteria are:

Dimer- Pass ratings

Ankle Breaker- Ball handling rating

Pick Pocket- Steal rating + There is NO rating to counter this badge

etc. etc.
