Gameplay …yeah if 2k28 follows the same model of 2k27 where badges can be stripped by seasons, they’re in trouble!

This game was always pay for play in a way but now…they’ve gone too far by stripping badges away by seasons. I regret deleting 2k26 from my console. This model is just bad and a very greedy move by 2k developers. I love 2k but this is just getting bad. Hopefully they’ll have a change of heart for next years game when they see the decline in playing time by their loyal fan base. At this point, i’m waiting for the new Modern Warfare and GTA to drop. I can’t play this shit anymore man..

How can you regret deleting 26 when ur problem is badges(plus 1, etc) disappearing in 27 when it literally did that in 26 ??? Are you high?

So what your post should say was if 2k28 follows the same model as the last idk like 5 2ks they’re in trouble , soooooooo like how are they not in trouble now?

Why is this such a shock for people?? It was like this last year too lol I am baffled by all these posts that are shocked by this.... We knew this before we bought the game! It was literally shown on the stream with Mike Wang BEFORE early access even launched...

I think cause it's just so much worse than last year to be honest

yeah this SUCKS. Pay to play beyond anything we’ve ever seen. And when the new season starts you have to go back and completely redo your badges. Super fucking annoying.

Pay to play has never been this bad.

In no way does it reset your badges back to 0 , you don’t have to redo any badges at all

•

u/TheLordAshram 1h ago

Yeah you do, bc anything you used a fuse on vanishes. All of the badges I had bumped up were gone, with empty slots in their places. I had to reset them.

u/OldPhilosopher7177 56m ago

Ohh true I’m sorry that your progress on badges went to 0% and your now having to grind out badges again , if only you didn’t “”reset”” your badges to under bronze again right ,urs all went back to under bronze correct?

They’re not in trouble in the slightest lmao. Look at the sales data of 2k27

I felt the same way until I made a goat build. My eyes have been opened. I found out that the builds that I’ve been making in the myplayer builder were never 99 overall builds. I would grind those builds up to 99 overall when in fact they were only 85 overalls after all that hard work I put in. With goat builds I get to play with all my attributes and actually play like the player I was trying to create. I can even beat cheaters now! Try out a goat build! The Gameplay experience so much better!

If they will improve offline experience again like this year. I will buy it. Sorry i dint care about online at all

u/Specialist_Job4820 8h ago

The offline modes been the only thing keeping me around too, myplayer is just a casino now with extra steps

remember when you could just grind and keep your badges forever? feels like that ship sailed long ago

What do you mean? 😂 how is it any different than the +1 and +2 from previous years?

u/Necessary-One1782 7h ago

synergy gives you a free badge, it is a little different. with the +1s you still had the badge just a worse version. now i have to redo my badges based on the fact i cant REALLY afford four of them

just trying to explain, i dont really care either way i stopped playing

u/thankyoukt 7h ago

Plus 1 and 2 system still let you have EVERY BADGE your build had access to. This points system one on 27 doesn’t allow you to equip EVERY BADGE. So it’s the difference between a gold badge going to legend or having no badge at all

•

u/Barrack_Aubameyang 2h ago

Getting every badge meant that everyone would be demigod with cap breakers. You get to prioritize the badges based on your style of play.

u/Nightmareswf 7h ago

So the way it used to be before +1s and 2s? When you had badge points and core badges? Except now you can unlock more badge points to eventually get most (if not all) the badges

u/Dredd990 6h ago

Back in what 21 or 24 ider which one. Still a horribly designed system and more of a downgrade from 26

•

u/ThatBull_cj 2h ago

Cause now you have to change the whole badge load out and lose points compared to just having a worse version of something you already had

•

u/Nightmareswf 2h ago

Yeah I played a few games tonight and had to rejig my whole loadout. Hopefully we get enough bonus points this season to give us most of the badges we need
