if they want it to feel like real football then yes. I think 2k should get rid of badges too and go back to signature skills. Sports games are just way too broken now.
A player with 99 throw power should have the effect of a SFL+PLE and gunslinger. A player with 99 accuracy stats should basically play like they have the dots X-factor. They could even add new stats that make corners more likely to knock the ball free instead of having KO abilities. Would make the game feel more realistic.
