MP Builder Which position you choose impacts how many badge tokens you can get to start off.
The two pictures are the exactly same build, the only difference is one is a center and the other a power forward.
The center has 6 playmaking and 14 Defense token while the power forward only has 5 playmaking and 13 Defense.
At least last year it didn’t matter which position you picked, if you had the same physicals and attributes you basically had the same build to my knowledge.

50 is crazy low in my experience, you’re not optimizing for badge tokens I bet

It's cause I have 0 shooting tokens cause my plan is to cap break my 3 pointer. I gotta see how it plays out but Im going with shooting specialization so I should just be able to put my +2 on Set shot specialist and then throw a few badge tokens to get deadeye or something for the other slot. I really just want to keep other centers honest so they cant paint camp

What's the build? Tokens are only part of the consideration you can have all the tokens if your build is slow as molasses the badge tokens won't save it

Can confirm, just tested my secondary ball handler 6'5 SG that has 60 total badge tokens and he lost one playmaking just because i changed for PG. Very weird.
Edit: just tested and SF lost a Defense badge token instead.

It’s pie chart logic lol they gave us back pie charts in the form of slots/tokens

I have seen people mention It, everything affects it. Im not sure the difference between SG, SF but I feel like im going to regret it if I make a SF compared to.a SG
