Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

04:12 PM - January 13, 2015 by Steve_OS

Having trouble earning particular badges in NBA 2K15? NBA 2K Producer Zach Timmerman has just sent us the requirements for each one of them.

Key Notes

Simulating games will not count towards earning badges. You must play the games to meet the requirements.
Only one badge can be earned in MyPark / Jordan Rec Center (Swagger).
Badges can be earned by playing on any difficulty.
Unless specifically noted, any position can earn any badge.
Unlike what many believe, having the Cool and Collected or Volume Shooter badges will not prevent you from getting �hot� (which is required to earn Unfazed and Microwave).
Getting ejected or fouling out of a game will not impact your ability to earn badges.
For the ankle breaker dribble move badges, like Killer Crossover, you�ll generally have better luck earning them if you try the moves when you�re within 25 feet of the basket.
When earning a badge requires you to meet the requirements �in a single season�, it means just that. You cannot carry over stats or games played to the next season to earn the badge.

Rockie are you holding back on the shot stick when you try to dunk? I had the same issue post patch when I pressed towards the basket, but if you press away from the basket, you will take off like before.

24 games into the deadeye quest and nothing.. It's the only badge left I care to have and it's annoying af getting. I wish it would at least say how close I am.
I've gotten Corner Specialist, Volume Shooter, Limitless Range, Eraser, Chase Down Artist, Transition Finisher, One Man Fast Break and Tenacious Rebounder (of useful badges) but Deadeye is just ugh

Deadeye has to be the most BS badge in the game. There is no way I have not unlocked it yet and like you said that is the only badge I don't have that I actually want.

Not only is it bs that big men don't have Bruiser but Bruiser should be limited to only PF and C. Does anyone have the Unpredictable or Legendary Work Ethic badge? Never saw a cut scene to trigger legendary work ethic in over 4 years of career mode. And no matter how much I alter my answers.. No unpredictable badge.

I have legendary work ethic. I saw on the other badge thread that used to stay on the front page in this forum that if you shoot in the gym before you go to games and then accept when your teammate or coach (depending on how well liked you are by the team) asks you to shoot around before the game starts that you'll get it.

So I made it a point to shoot no less than 10 jumpers prior to every game. It's one of the first badges I got.

Does anybody know how long it roughly takes to get a spot red? Does difficulty play into it?

Just got Acrobat. Currently going for spin layup, tear dropper, shot creator, floor general, closer, and deadeye.

Any tips on how to get these quickly? especially shot creator.

Well, it tells you exactly how to get Acrobat in the official list, as well as the others.

As far as Acrobat goes though, you need to go baseline and press up on the stick to initiate the reverse lay up animation. It doesn't really work any other way.

Anybody know how long it takes to get deadeye on Rookie?

Hmm. It seems like I would have surely got this badge then. It's not that important because I have career mode fatigue. As soon as I get my hot spots in order on my SF, I'm never touching the mode again unless I get a wold idea to create a 4th player. But thanks for the tip, I will try this before games for as long as it takes to get my hot spots.

It taking most people like 50+ games on Rookie. It would be faster to get on a harder difficulty.

You have to consider it's harder to actually make contested shots on harder difficulty, so that will offset it a bit.

It only takes one game on rookie. I got every zone outside the arc red in less than 5 games. You just have to make sure that you're shooting and making you shots in the actually zone you want each time.

Also, just a side note, even with all those 3PT zones red, I didn't notice any difference online.

Deadeye took me no more than 10 games on superstar taking 50+ shots a game

No matter what badges or hotspots you get shooting consistency is stuck at 50 which means a lot of blown shots

I played rookie to get all my badges as soon as possible. Although I didn't know this at the time, after reading the official information on Deadeye, it only took me 15-17 games (roughly 30-35 jumpers each game). Once you figure out the right way to do it, making 100 of them is a piece of cake.

I was just thinking about that too. Of all the 2K hang-ups I have, this one might take the cake.

And it's not just offensive consistency; overall durability is stuck at 73, and hands are stuck at 80 (there might be others too, I don't know). It's infuriating, not to mention the durability attribute blocks anyone from getting Gatorade Hardened.

I checked all my players too (every position with various heights and weights and overalls), and those particular attributes are all the exact same.

Exactly. I'm not saying consistency should be 90 that's too high but maybe 65-70 would be a sweet spot for those of us who play online.At 50 you literally have bad shooting games for no reason . Guys can just leave you open for no reason sometimes.

I think we could see 1 more patch next month that addresses shoe issue, some badge issues , maybe the stutter animation on drives , etc But that's wishful thinking

I already got acrobat, I was just asking tips on what others went through to get shot creator etc.

# 198 Magnus1959 @ 01/23/15 03:29 PM

All my players just play in My Career. I don't do the park so I'm always worried about my stats and can't handle missing so many shots to get some of these badges like Deadeye.

I'm glad this got pointed out. Now, I understand why a shot motion I can do in my sleep misses without explanation.

I thought hotspots helped and transferred over to the Park? It might be in my head but I've got 2 spots red in the top of the three and feel I always hit those areas more in the Park as opposed to the other side where its all cold.

Wow, so make or miss basically just jack up 50 shots from anywhere on the floor for 10 games? Does it matter if there 3 pointers or not and if dudes are in your face or not? You had to have it on 12mins right?
