Also, bringing up valid points in a broken system is not whining but please keep thinking it is and 2K will continue sell us consumer out.

This is why silver is the sweet spot for most badges. Super easy to have a bunch of badges at this level. Then the hof and gold badges for the things your game uses the most. It’s a good way to have way more badges than you would in previous 2k’s

[@Android-om6sr]

Badges still go down for immunity for sure. I have a 6’9 Defensive Anchor Center that can get immovable force HOF. It has been an absolute grind trying to keep it. It seems like it doesn’t activate a lot against the AI, but it definitely does when I’m online in the Rec. I’m at Gold rn w/immunity perk on it. Played a few myCareer games after the Rec and the progress definitely has gone down, but it definitely the immunity has slowed it down at least. In general, centers have the easiest time retaining badges. They need to do something about this because my guard can’t even upgrade unpluckable at this rate.

[@matthewthomas7339]

I though so to at first, but if you have any badges that can eventually get to hof really target them. Then you can apply those to over drive and get them up really fast. I think it will be super hard until you get the multipliers then once you get those it won't be terrible. It's just certain badges (relay passer, interceptor) need tweaked so you don't have to activate them 7 times a game to get progress.

[@bradyeichelberger4067]

Not about to drop more money on a game I paid for to get floor setters (I have a life, so not enough time to grind constantly) and play into their greed. I did enough buying the game. Some are completely broken right now and honestly even when the game is off I think the badges are regressing lol. I don't want added stress when I'm trying to relieve stress as is by playing video games.
