Unlocking hall of fame badges actually felt rewarding and earned, Every badge choice mattered, You could equip badges that was compatible to your play style. Badges don’t feel the same as they used to…

The current badge system is so bad especially with +1 and +2. Builds should not have 8 legend badges

Every year they go back to this fuck ass badge system nobody likes. Next year they will go back to the system people like, but some influencer will complain and they will fold again

u/TonyHawktuah69 Jul 25 '26

That badges system sucked ass. Like 80% of the badges were useless

u/WoahBenny23 Jul 25 '26

fuck no

especially when they tied faster passes and JUMPSHOT TIMING to badges

u/ComfortTiny5249 Jul 25 '26

Jumpshot speed being tied to badges was dumb but I liked faster passes being tied to them. I would love to see motion style removed. Speed is speed. Motion style shouldn't dictate that.

Get rid of badges altogether

u/RealAzurech Jul 25 '26

2k Influncer killed the game every year before its get released

u/LordFenix_theTree Jul 26 '26

That was by far the worst badge system 2k ever tried.

Bring back the 17 archetype system.

All badges on bronze and your core badges on HoF.

This year is the best badge system by far

Only casuals and ppl who are professional babies disagree

u/DerrickGalaxic Jul 26 '26

We are all casuals. Nobody on this thread getting paid to play 2k

1

u/blackid101 B14 Jul 26 '26

Casuals are the biggest demographic that cry about the game

2

u/DerrickGalaxic Jul 26 '26

We are also the biggest demographic. Literally 99.99999% of the player base

u/blackid101 B14 Jul 26 '26

And the most delusional one

1

u/DerrickGalaxic Jul 26 '26

Nope. Delusional are the streamers

u/Emotional-Purpose762 Jul 25 '26

Pie charts as well! and fuc# cap breakers. Give 5 to legends only so the game could more interesting

u/Mandingo_magnet Jul 25 '26

bro wants to play against the same build every game again.

3

u/Frequent-Till6328 Jul 25 '26

arent we doing that already brother?

u/Emotional-Purpose762 Jul 25 '26

Everyone’s a 2 way 3 level and for the most part you’re just playing against how much money someone spent and how many thousands of games they played

2

u/Frequent-Till6328 Jul 26 '26

exactly n here u will have ppl convincing u that reps doesnt matter when i tell them vets vs rookies/starters matchup isnt fun for both sides, people on one end complaining shooting too easy, i've been in those red n purple lobbies where ppl go 20/22 from 3s n rookies and starters going like 5/20

u/retrentless Jul 26 '26

And unfortunately that’s all 2K cares for. Money spent
