To me this is clear for the dual archetypes, who'll get the gold badges associated to the two archetypes, I suppose.


But, for instance, if I am a pure SF point forward (passing as both primary and secondary archetypes), on which basis the game would decide my gold/silver badges?

I mean, I see no clear connections in this case, since I'm not bound to a secondary playstyle

Well, my hype just completely freakin' died. Apparently it's going to take as long to get to 99 as it did to reach Legend in 2k17.

Why the hell would they do this? Seriously..

I've been under the impression that each archetype was designed by the devs, and the game decides nothing. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not sure.

to get people to invest in the grind.

i just hope that we can transfer over our OVR to a new player. I don't want to be stuck with one.

also, i think that getting to 99 will be easier than it is in MyPark coz every game mode will count, unlike in previous where it was only walk on and park.

I'm 10% off being able to go shirtless having played hundreds of walk on games, and a few park games but never invested time in it.

I can't imagine it being too difficult to get to 95 if you have a pro am team.

Investing in a grind is one thing, holding people's overalls and attributes hostage for a second year in a row is completely different...

I honestly don't have a problem with it. If you get to 98 you get to talk to RAD on 2k TV. People don't have to be able to get to 99. How many Lebrons are there in the world, not many. I'm ok if I don't get there. It's a serious accomplishment if you do but I have a life to live and I'll be fine if I only get to the low 90s.

That has absolutely nothing to do with holding a player's overall hostage. Simply put: It shouldn't happen, ESPECIALLY if it's going to take just as long as it took to get Legend in 2k17. That's insane.
