This, I'm still having trouble getting scrapper. Its like the last badge I need. lol

1st. NO, you do not earn badges for simming. Let's say you're going after rebounds and you sim 15 games. Any rebounds you accrue during that stretch don't count to the 400 needed for Tenacious Rebounder. I have also noticed that simming during stretches that require X amount of games messes up the counter. If you're going after Dimer and need to play 25 games, I've seen simming mess up my count.

2nd. Not sure about losing badges in MyLeague/ MyGM, but the only reason you normally would lose a badge is if it's an either/ or badge. Like All-Time Great and Low Ego. You can't have both, so you either have 1 or the other. If you are a scorer then try to distribute more it will change your stats which changes your badge. Similar to Friendly and Reserved badges.

So earning badges in my career you cant do it the same way in my gm or.my league

Can't get dead eye to save my life lol I've been counting and have hit over 175 contested shots right behind the free throw line and still won't unlock... You guys have any advice?

1. Do you think that badges also count in mypark performances?
2. Is there some way to calculate how far you've gone in earning a badge? (Eg how can i calculate how many assists in got in last games except from adding them one by one per game )
3. Can someone PLEASE explain me the following, since i can't make them:
a. Tear Dropper: In a single season, attempt 50 runners or floaters (What are the runners?)
b. Fade Ace: Take 30 fade-away jumpers in a single season. (Is that double square in Ps4 ? Do they have to be successful shots?)
c. Spin Lay-in Attempt 20 spin lay-ups in a single season. (What are the spin layups? )
d. King of Euros Attempt 50 euro step layups in a single season. (How to do it?)
e. Drop-Stepper Use the drop-step move in the post 70 times in a single season. (How do you make this move?)
f. Lob City Passer Throw 60 alley-oops in a single season (Do they have to end up in a basket or just throw them?)

(Eg how can i calculate how many assists in got in last games except from adding them one by one per game ) Not really, but you answered your own question. 2 ways using Dimer as an example. Remember the starting number, check your stats after every game keeping track of total games played. Other way-go to your schedule and look at previous games played. It allows you to view those stats. 3. Can someone PLEASE explain me the following, since i can't make them: a. Tear Dropper: In a single season, attempt 50 runners or floaters (What are the runners?) Just drive the lane with turbo OFF. Hold the right analog away from the hoop. This can also do the King of Euros if you have it just a little off. b. Fade Ace: Take 30 fade-away jumpers in a single season. (Is that double square in Ps4 ? Do they have to be successful shots?) No and No. It's says take instead of attempts, but says nothing about makes. Just hold Left analog away from hoop while taking a shot. c. Spin Lay-in Attempt 20 spin lay-ups in a single season. (What are the spin layups? ) Drive the lane while holding turbo, double tap the shot button not analog. For X1 it's X twice. d. King of Euros Attempt 50 euro step layups in a single season. (How to do it?) Same as tear dropper except you drive the lane, NO turbo, and hold the right analog diagonally away from the the basket. e. Drop-Stepper Use the drop-step move in the post 70 times in a single season. (How do you make this move?) I suggest going to YouTube and watching a few videos. Then go to the practice gym and work on it. It took me 10 minutes of practice before really getting it down. f. Lob City Passer Throw 60 alley-oops in a single season (Do they have to end up in a basket or just throw them?) Don't remember, it just says 'throw' so I'm assuming it's attempts only. Stats like these aren't trackable so you have to just keep trying.

Keep in mind that a lot of these can be found online with videos. You can also go into training in 2K and it will explain to you in great detail how to perform each shot, dribble, etc. When performing Tear Dropper and King of Euros be mindful of where you take off. If you're too close to the basket it will perform a layup. Too far away and it's a jump shot. Use the free throw line as a gauge.
