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.

Since when are drifting shots right or left not fadeaway shots in real life?
Those are labeled "fadeways" in the NBA everyday.

Any tips on getting the other team to drive in the paint more?
I'm trying to get eraser on my center, but teams tend to avoid the paint and settle for outside shots.
i'm playing on All-star sim.

Damn....I finished the season with 74 blocks....does this mean I have to play a complete season and go for another 80 blocks just to unlock eraser?

One tip I can give you is when the cpu drives in don't jump and let him do the animation first. If you press a button before the cpu goes through the layup animation you end up with a two man canimation which ends up being a foul.

Other than that I just stick around the rim and just wait for the cpu to drive.

This works for C/PF

play on superstart/sim or hof/sim. more likely your teammates get beat off dribble. Also SIM = cpu will attempt more drives.

like someone said earlier always use the "contest" button at the last possible moment. setup shot contest always. so that you get cheap blocks if your too late with the "contest" button

Abuse the shot clock cheese, if cpu is running down the clock leave your guy(while staying in the passing lane) and attempt a last second block.

If nothing else works, bait the cpu by leaving your guy open during last 5 seconds of shot clock and then close out for a block.

Does anyone got any idea as to why I just unlocked floor general on my 7'3" center with 18 playmaking? I'm confused because I have a career assist average of 0.4.

Need tips for creating loose balls for scrapper

Also has anyone unlocked the swagger personality badge?

"Floor General
Have a career assist average of 5 or more, play at least 30 games in a season or career, and raise your Playmaker discipline to Level 18."

That's odd, did you ever have a career assist avg of 5+? Maybe it's bugged. I got it, but I met all the requirements.

Scrapper, try poking the ball away from the PG around mid court as he brings it up. Hold dive as you sprint for the ball. For whatever reason, a lot of times the animation sends the poked ball to out of bounds.

To dive for loose balls I hold Turbo, hold X, and left analog towards the ball. I hold X/ turbo as soon as the ball is loose. If you wait till you're right on top of it the animation will just scoop. I've dove so early my body stopped and another teammate passes me to scoop up the ball. I still got the 'good hustle' message in the upper right.

Have you unlocked the badge? I thought knocking it loose and simply diving for it would get me the badge as well. I am pretty sure you have to save it from going out of bounds after I did it the other way maybe 10 times and nothing ever happened. It says get "loose ball saves". I only see that message when I save the ball from going out of bounds.

There were a lot of times I'd save it in the middle of the court and it would just give me the "good hustle" message. In my post right before the last I was getting the saves from the balls rolling along the out of bounds line heading down the other end of the court.

I also had a save on a defensive in bounds play. If you stay near the in-bounder and shadow the player receiving the ball (pretty obvious who the CPU is going to pass to) and tip the pass be ready to hold X/ Turbo.

Can somebody answer this for me. When going for the dribble badges like behind the back and spin kingpin etc do they have to be done on drives to the paint or do they count anywhere on the court? E.g. if doing them when inbounding the ball on the other end of the court going past half court etc?

Dribble to the 3 point line & go to town. I unlock behind the back in 1 game. If you flick away from the rim fast enough you'll do multiple dribbles at one time. The description says within 25' of the hoop. I would do them after I got the ball.

I would also dribble from each side of the court along the 3 point line. For step back freeze I would dribble to either of the elbows, then hold turbo and flick away from the hoop as fast as I could to rack up as many dribbles as possible.

Keep a few things in mind, you're going to get 'hold ball too long' a lot, which will lower your teammate grade. When performing step back dribble moves you're going to have a few accidental back court violations. Also, you're going to draw a crowd. That will end up with a few jump ball situations and you'll lose teammate grade points for those as well.

All are really easy as long as you just focus on those each game. Doesn't take long.

How did you stay hot? I have lasted 3 minutes at the most I just can't seem to get the 4 minutes.

I've found it really hard to stay hot for that long. Microwave is easy because all you have to do is get hot, unfazed is difficult IMO.
