Players that need Badge updates

[tt500]

2K handling of badging legendary players needs to be fixed. It's just really annoying they continue to release guys like james jones, jr smith and danny green with more HOF Badges than PD Kobe. Ill use JR as the benchmark, he has 5 HOF badges while some of these cards require us to collect over 2000 cards and grind hours to get.

Basically all the early PD rewards have no more than 3 HOF badges and I believe the Diamond rewards don't have more than 2.

Joe Dumars 89' card is the year he won Finals MVP and he has 1 HOF badge.

2k also refuses to update PD Kobe's badges, the man that scored 81 points has 2...

I really don't understand what they are doing, updating these cards badges are not gonna stop people from spending VC and pulling future packs.

Re: Players that need Badge updates

PD Wilt Chamberlain, only has HOF tireless scorer and Relentless Finisher, he should probably have HOF Rim Protector, Hustle Rebounder, Brusier, Break Starter, Putback King, Brick Wall, Post Spin Technician

Diamond Ben Wallace, HOF Rim Protector, Bruiser

Diamond David Thompson, HOF Posterizer, Acrobat

PD Duncan, HOF Rim Protector

Diamond Kevin Johnson, HOF Posterizer and Acrobat

Diamond Francais, HOF Posterizer

Diamond KD, HOF Catch and Shoot, Difficult Shots

Magic McGrady, HOF Posterizer

IMO

Re: Players that need Badge updates

IMO these would be the HOF badges these guys should have.

George Mikan - Hustle Rebounder, Bruiser, Drop Step.

PD Isiah Thomas - Acrobat, Mid-range, Pick Dodger, Defensive Stopper.

Joe Dumars - Acrobat, Difficult Shots, Relentless Finisher, Mid-Range.

PD Kobe - Basically what MJ has.

Tony Parker - Acrobat, One Man Fastbreak, Tear Dropper.

Elgin Baylor - Hustle Rebounder, Tireless Scorer, Relentless Finisher, Mid-range, Flashy Passer, Post Spin.

Man 2K gotta stop disrespecting these legends when they are handing out HOF badges out to JR Smith and James Jones. James Jones!! He's just a role-player for Lebron and he has 4!

Re: Players that need Badge updates

I'd love to see Gail Goodrich updated. He has 0 HOF badges, and zero hot zones around the perimeter even though they updated his open 3 to 97. This man has bricked more open 3's for me than any other highly rated player, both before and after the update. It's incredibly frustrating. I love Goodrich, he's such a good rich... it's just insane how many shots he bricks. He's honestly better at dunking than he is at threes.

Re: Players that need Badge updates

This won't happen. They never changed badges once the cards were released. It has to do something with programming. They probably have to manually edit every single card out there.

That's to much effort and could lead to inconsistency.

Nevertheless it's a shame that many reward cards are almost useless now.

Not true. Mid year all historic team diamond rewards and diamond collector rewards saw a big bump in attributes. They didn't update badges tho.

Id love to see my diamond grant Hill get a few more purples. He just has poster. Also agreed that the new diamond Joe Dumars needs more purples too.

That's what I said. They never changed badges, I did not mention attributes. I think 2K would have liked to add/change badges, but it would take to much effort.

I think the main issue about upgrading badges is that it will interfere with badges people have already applied, leading to blocked empty slots, badges not activating etc... , on top of it being a tedious manual work on 2k's end.

Re: Players that need Badge updates

It's not tedious work at all.

Also, if they wanted to make this right with us, they could have challenges where you have to use the card in question and then when you win, you win that same card with updated badging. So you'd play the PD Kobe challenge and you'd need PD Kobe to be able to play it. If you beat the challenge, you're rewarded with a PD Kobe with a bunch of HOF badges.

Very very simple solution.

This is a really great workaround to make it possible for 2K to rebadge already-released unsellable Rewards cards.

While I don't think that they consider rebadging Rewards to be a priority at all, and definitely would not do it in such a loud way, which would highlight the fact that they made a mistake...I do wonder if they have considered this possibility at all.

Now that we're at the end of the cycle, they might be able to squeeze out some more revenue from Historic re-releases if the collection Rewards were properly badged up.
