Grand Badges or ScoreStreaks

Some may disagree, but grand badges just didn't make sense in my opinion. Just reminds me of Call Of Duty with the scorestreaks. You gain super skill ability, sometimes for doing things outside of your skill strength. Just seems super arcady and I hope it doesn't make it into NBA2K18

It's even worse in MyCareer. I can't get into the game when my player is the only one on the court with a glowing red icon underneath him. It makes me feel like I'm some kind of superhero waiting for my abilities to be fully charged.

I had to jump into MyLeague and create my own player.

That's how it seems, like you are a superhero or super player

Re: Grand Badges or ScoreStreaks

At the end of the day it's a video game. I saw gamechanger/influencer YT guys playing as team mascots in the park. I didn't even know that was a thing. They were dressed up like a bird running around the park and some had jetpacks on.

I'd prefer things remain a bit real too but I don't know if that's what the masses want lol.

Those are just cosmetics though. It doesn't impact gameplay.

Grand badges are silly. IMO they should have stopped at gold badge tier. HOF badge was still too OP.

Ok, it's a game the is supposed to reflect the real-life NBA. The Park is the only part that doesn't. When I play a competitive game, there should be powerups like its COD. You wouldn't say the same about MLB or FIFA.

Have you played it? I'm a sharpshooter, when my grand activates, I almost cant miss from all ranges. If you're a playmaker, you break anyone's ankles regardless of the defense they are playing. How is that cosmetic?

Re: Grand Badges or ScoreStreaks

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I'm in the minority that wants games to truly reflect the real life sports. I don't think many people actually want that. This is why I have stayed away from online modes.

The real life NBA doesn't have any OS'er (that I know of) on the roster either. So the moment people on here create a character and input them in the game it no longer reflects the NBA as well.

I'd get rid of all fictional characters and have no badges if it were up to me. That probably wouldn't sell quite as well...
