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.

My advice on shot creator is equip elite 2 in dribble pull up and go to town with the running hop jumper animation. I was able to get this fairly easy, hell, it was easier than acrobat.

I recently decided I wanted to add Drop-Stepper to my list of badges, although I already have tear dropper, I seem to be open for so many drop steps I would think it silly not to add it to my arsenal. Besides that I am still battling for Hustle Points at the PG position (I have tenacious rebounder), but I only get about 7 minutes per game when I am in as a SG to really make a legit attempt at that.

As far as drop stepper goes, does doing it out of a post move apply to getting it or is it like Fade Ace where you have to take the shot without engaging in the post position for it to count towards it?

Fade Ace was my first real shooting badge outside microwave, volume shooter and unphazed (which I received all within the beginning two weeks of my point guards career). I recommend it for everyone as it made things like stepback pro and post hoperator a piece of cake to obtain. Plus post fades and Fadeaways in general are so damn handy.

Got a question for pf/c's, how many bars do you you need to have a 60 pass accuracy for break starter? I have to plan ahead and I really don't want to waste anything extra on playmaking.

# 263 RustyRocket56 @ 02/01/15 12:43 AM

I am pretty sure you need 10 upgrades to get 60 Pass Accuracy. I did check and it was a long while ago.

However you can check for yourself, just create a new save, during your tryout game just go to the park and go to the upgrades screen.

you will have to buy 15 rebounding upgrades just so you could get this badge, which seems like a waste as you rebound just as good with a max athlete.

I'm struggling to get the hop step shot. I'm double tapping Square/X and holding turbo. I just read how to do it but it still kinda weird.

I hate that since I'm trying to stay away from Volume Shooter, the most shots I can take per game is 24. Would be much faster to get these shooting badges if I was not avoiding it.

Ughh its so frustrating going for Brick wall with my Center. Why is it so easy to get it with small forward but so hard with my Center, it should be the other way around.

# 268 Detroitfan4life1993 @ 02/01/15 01:50 PM

I think I might of just accidentally found a way to get brick wall faster with your center/pf. I already had my 3 good screens of the game earlier but had to go somewhere so I saved and exited the game. When I resumed the game later I was able to get 3 more good screens. So I guess if you keep getting 3 good screens and then save and quit and then resume you can keep getting them.

I got it by spamming spin jumpers tbh.. just double tap (Square or X) it was easy as hell.

That what I was doing but for some reason I had a feeling it would not count.

Hold turbo will driving horizontally just above the post and use the right stick in which ever direction you are driving.

As a few others said, spin jumpers work pretty well, but I didn't want my driving tendencies to go way out of wack due to the spin jumper technically being a pull up (think Westbrook pulling up 5 feet from the basket in the paint). But technically it would depend on which spin jumper you used I suppose. But if I am close enough to do the spin jumping animation I use, I am close enough to split the lane with a euro, hop-step on some bigs feet, posterize, or at worst resort to acrobat and get an and one or draw a foul.

Although since then I have chaanged my iso spin and spin jumper to activate closer to the three point line.

I am probably just biased as I have never liked the spin jumper and just finished off the spin lay up badge and unless I was using Monta's layup package, I just quarter spin lay in opposed to the 360 where you get ripped 75% of the time in the park.

Can we get clarification on the Bruiser badge? All I see is pre-requisites to unlock the badge, not how you actually unlock it?

# 273 UC2SMOOTH @ 02/02/15 02:56 AM

Any luck with unfazed?

That's it, there are no pre-req's to unlock it. Much like either lock down defenders. For Badges like those, all you need to do is have your attributes set up accordingly and play the requested amount of games without simming.

Yes. All you need to do is set up your time to 12 minute 1/4ers. I went pretty in depth on how I unlocked it a few pages ago. Feel free to search the older posts to see the details. Remember it will only unlock once your 15 games in that span have finished without simming.

# 276 UC2SMOOTH @ 02/02/15 04:52 PM

I have been getting hot

I have been getting hot but the other team calls a time out then it throws me off

Can somebody confirm how to get the Master in and out badge? Is it the right joystick flicked twice toward your dribble hand w/ a love dribble?

# 279 TrustedDegree4 @ 02/03/15 08:01 AM

Finally got Shot Creator. Only took about 6-10 games for me. Gonna go for deadeye with these 18 games left in my season. Gonna try to get it on Superstar.

I will let y'all know if I get it this way.

To do the in and out all you need to do is hold the Turbo Button and push the RS up.

Now I have 43 badges on my SF since i just earned Volume Shooter. The last two badges I want on my SF are Stepback Freeze, Deadeye and I'm done with him.
