NBA 2K should have attribute prerequisites for Badges (MyL and MyGM only)

[Luke Skywalker]

I was brainstorming and thought of a clever way for badges to be implemented, and earned in game modes, such as MyLeague and MyGM. In turn, this would also make the training and game exposure a lot more relevant when trying to develop a particular player.

I believe the attribute ratings should be tied into the Badges. There is no reason someone with a low attribute rating should possess a high-caliber Badge.

For example, if my Rebound Rating is 72 - I have no right in having "HoF Rebound Chaser".

Lets take a badge like "Box" for instance.

There should be a few ratings the player must have to attain that badge.

1) Strength: strength must be higher than 80
2) Rebounding: defensive and/or offensive rebounding rating must be greater than 75

Tiers:
STR rating prerequisite:
80-84 (Bronze "Box")
85-89 (Silver "Box")
90-94 (Gold "Box")
95-99 (HoF "Box")

If the player has 74 Rebound Rating, and 96 Strength - the player would not be eligible for the "Box" Badge.

What do you think? Who wants to capitalize/streamline on this idea?

But aren't there players out there, that have a good feeling for boxing out but are still not good rebounders? Or where the fact, that they box out their man very good leads to the fact, that another player of their team is able to rebound the ball easily?

I think badges like box out and worm should be removed as they are not tied to ratings but to users awareness and positioning.

Rim protector.
Pickpocket.
Clamps.
Interceptor.
Moving truck and such.

Those should be tied to a rating.

You got below 80 perimiter defense the bronze clamps is all you should get.

Same with below 80 steal block and interior defense.

If they keep going with this badge nonsense stuff , its nothing but a common sense to make it based on ratings.

you Know some people dont care about my Player Stuff? Computer players need to do boxout, too.

Don't we already have tendencies and coaching settings to control that.

Here's what the ratings qualifications should be IMO:

0 to 59 rating = no badge
60 to 69 rating = bronze badge
70 to 79 rating = silver badge
80 to 89 rating = gold badge
90 to 99 rating = hall of fame badge

2K would have to change how their MyPlayer pie charts are currently setup to accommodate that badge system, but I think it would lead to a more balanced game overall instead of this year's "anything goes" approach where guys with shooting ratings in the 40s have access to multiple gold shooting badges and guys with all of their defensive ratings under 80 can equip 3 or 4 gold defensive badges.

You act like the computer did not know how to box out before they introduced badges....

This series has been running long before these badges got introduced.
