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.

Expressive - Has no problem expressing his feelings
Unpredictable - Can be erratic in his behavior

Would these be for guys like Joakim Noah who pretty much live to troll anyone who isn't on their own team? I wish they would have had one along the lines of "Pest," just so we'd be clear that they're more or less antagonistic, and that they do it on purpose.

But I guess this works also implemented well.

Why not for ps3 and xbox 360, might as well do all of the platforms

# 104 Blackhail92 @ 09/20/14 05:42 PM

47? Sheesh that's a lot. Not saying he doesn't deserve them because we all know how good Lebron is. I just hope my man Melo has at least half of that lol and interested in seeing how many KD has as well

# 105 Anthony292 @ 09/20/14 06:26 PM

Does Bron have 47 skill badges or 47 total badges

# 106 City_foxx @ 09/20/14 06:58 PM

I always ran plays as a pg. The ai would strickly adhear to the offensive point of emphasis set by the ai coach.Refusing to take jumpshot cause coach said drive the basket. Also what so unrealistic about yelling 'SHOOT IT"? If cp3 threw a ddime to reddick who was wide opean, and yelled "shoot' you really think he just say nahhh and drive into bogut?

Don't feed the troll.

# 109 2_headedmonster @ 09/20/14 08:41 PM

do these skill badges have unique animations, and do they vary with each level?

Let me reiterate what is expected out of you, the OS user: [b]Do not, under any circumstance, attack a user or guest of OS. That INCLUDES staff, game developers, and regular users. You may question (CONSTRUCTIVELY) an opinion. But if you attack the user (includes name calling and calling them a liar) you will be banned.

Easy as put... you didn't listen and continued this multiple times so sorry

Mind games.

Sorry if I missed this but can players in myleague further develop a badge to a higher tier if the work hard? Can the CPU earn badges during the season? Can players lose badges if a injury causes them to lose athleticism, say lebron tears his acl and never fully recovers could he lose coast to coast?

IRL, if someone yells for someone to shoot the ball or pass it sometimes they ignore them and do their own thing. I see some players wide open calling for the ball or players posting up demanding the ball and still don't get it. Ive seen LeBron begging for the ball and Chalmers just look him off and do whatever. Same w/ Kobe and other players that's like on court coaches. You're only controlling your player, you should not be able to tell the CPU what to do on command. I want to call for the ball sometimes, but not get it every single time I call for it. They just need to work on the AI and make them play like the regular AI.

I agree with the calling for ball part. Shouldnt be 100 percent. But the flawed ai need a shoot prompt. Were all like 90% sim players in here we wouldnt ask our teamate to shoot at inappropriate times. The real reason i think this badge was created was to cover up some game play issues like not being able to let cpu pg call plays or coach. My career was almost unplayable out side the pg spot for me.

# 114 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 09/21/14 10:11 AM

I hope these make players especially superstars play like themselves . Still didn't feel like that in 14.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well

No gimmicky things, just basketball. Shoot how many 3s you want if that's what you do, just don't cheat me or exploit the game. I'm sorry, back on track... I agree with a prompt and maybe they'll shoot, but I still feel they should have that mind of their own. I honestly don't like it, but that's not the reason I am upset it's in because I know I could just not use X. I am not the type to wish something wasn't in completely if I can avoid it. But I'm upset they'll pass it to you at will. Yeah, I could just not get the badge, but I do want to be able to call plays so I'll need it lol and I like to call for the ball. It's not that big of a deal because I know some guys are thinking I am making it a big deal. Just something I didn't really like or understand, and hope they changed it from being on command.

The problem isn't what this option adds to the game. It's why, and the why has been because if when we haven't had this option the AI for your teammates results in them making bad decision otherwise. This is a classic example of a "Band-Aid on a bullet wound". The issue to date has been far deeper than giving the player the ability to call plays or to tell a player when to shoot. The fact that they added this option suggest that those issues still remain in 2K15. The fact that it's unrealistic is just a minor annoyance.

thank you for this. even without showing any of his defensive highlights or mind boggling stats as a center; this helps solidify my point in calling Hakeem one of the top THREE players in NBA history.

Have you considered the reasoning for the band aid? Maybe they weren't able to solve the issue this cycle so they needed to add something to hold it over until they do? I'm just saying. Gotta look at it from both sides sometimes.

I have a pretty good idea of why they are doing it. And if that's the case it may be an excusable flaw IMO. Again MyPlayer is the only mode I play so if it's not to my liking at an acceptable level I'll just pass like I did last year.

# 120 ronyell @ 09/21/14 05:58 PM

will some of these badges take the place of the corresponding ratings/tendencies & create less but more variable editing?
