05:47 PM - September 19, 2014 by Steve_OS

Chris "LD2K" Manning and the NBA 2K15 developer team just sent us the full list and description of the NBA 2K15 badges. These badges are exclusive to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

	This year we combined Personality Badges and Signature Skills into one �Badge� list. Badges uniquely identify players in two ways: Personality and Skill. They affect how players react to various emotional situations, as well as how they perform in specific in-game scenarios.

Well, they could have just kept them all as purchasable, so this seems like a step int he right direction

Only one I could see to potentially add for personality would be "Intensity" or "Competitiveness"

Could apply to guys like Westbrook, Kobe, Cousins, Garnett, Noah, Kenyon Martin, Matt Barnes, Duncan, etc.

and apply to legends such as, Barkley, Laimbeer, Alonzo Mourning, Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace, Jordan, etc.

I guess guys who often come across playing "angry" (however, it can also come off as extremely focussed, or intense). I don't endorse that behavior, however it is apparent when watching these guys on the court whether through expressive reactions, or determined focus. I suppose this can be achieved through a variety of badges....we'll see.

Yeah I feel what you're saying but I think an easy fix would be for them to give lockdown defender to only a few players. In 14 they gave it to anybody and everybody. It should only be given to the ELITE defenders.

I was hoping for a badge that allowed you to get to the free throw line more than the average player ala Howard, Harden, Durant. Guess next year.

They get to the line a ton already. Especially dwight and durant

I hope Low Ego helps to get players like Ginobili to play off the bench and not complain.

# 27 City_foxx @ 09/19/14 07:46 PM

This all looks promising. I wonder i didnt see active hands has is been removed? If so thank you 2k people use it as a crutch online. You play d with your feet not your hands!

# 28 Sdrawkcab321 @ 09/19/14 07:46 PM

So Lebron doesn't have his " Lebron coast to coast" badge ? I like the others though. 2k just keeps improving

Great thought. Hopefully it works like this in the game because that would be a great way to get guys like Manu and JCrossover to come off the bench like they do in real life.

LD doesnt give you an advantage, it merely nullifys your opponents advantage. Not op at more like an equalizer. If u need 20 offensive badges to score your doing somthing wrong.

# 32 justanotherguy @ 09/19/14 08:06 PM

Awesome! Really like what I see so far, but are any of these badges specific to a position, or can any player get them? For example, can a Center develop all of the dribble move badges and have amazing handles? Or can a PG develop Post LD?

# 33 raiderphantom @ 09/19/14 08:14 PM

I just don't completely care for badges much like sig skills. The ratings are detailed enough that most of these are unnecessary imo.

# 34 InRodWeTrust @ 09/19/14 08:30 PM

I love how they can distinguish players... Like Steph Curry and Steve Novak are both GREAT 3 pt shooters... but a dude like Steph should have limitless range because he can just come across half court and fire it up but Novak is more of a stand still shooter

# 35 Sinner @ 09/19/14 08:30 PM

I like that you have to earn the bronze badges and also wish you couldn't just buy Silver and Gold with VC but I'll deal with it.

Have said many times how much I was against VC but they've lessened the need for VC so much in other modes so I'll take that trade off. Would like to know how easy it is to get these badges, I understand it's how you play but there has to be a little more to it, wonder what triggers them to say ok your a Dead Eye shooter or ok your a Perimeter/Post Lock Down Defender. As in is there a hidden number that you have to reach, so many bank shots, so many 3's in the corner, so many steals? etc

I hope that there are no restrictions (maybe except for my career, the park and relative modes ... then again, not entirely sure) ... for myleague and mygm tho, there should be no restrictions/caps ...

On 2K13 I liked how I enhanced the top of the cream defenders, even those on the perimter, by assigning them bruiser ! ... just an example, but ultimately, is all about giving users options, plenty of options ...

Looking forward to see their out of the box designation/distribution, the oncourt effects of the different levels of tiers and how contextual and appropiate do the emotions animations are triggered ... If I recall right, I think I saw some exagerated emotive animations on some of the videos, so overdone that I wish they solely happen on very rare and specific moments, like game winning shots, playoffs clinching games, etc, etc.

LD2k ,do the badges come and go through a players career with attribute progression & regression?

Maybe during simulations but not during gameplay. They need to better represent that during gameplay and adding a badge, which would help significantly, to represent that for guys like Harden, Westbrook, Howard and Durant.

You earn every badge - you can only purchase upgrades to the earned badges via VC.
