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.

I did not have a 4 minute min. hot game in games 12 through 15.

Thanks for letting me know.

Check out my post 365 on page 37 of this thread. Depends how you're trying to get it. Offense, defense, etc. Are you playing 12 minute 1/4ers? What's your difficulty level?

Hi,

Got most of the badges, and guess which important one is missing

So - about the "walk up" method for deadeye - how do you walk up easily?

Using a PC and a Logitech xbox controller I can walk if I push the LS ever so slightly, but it's so sensitive that anything above a 2mm push or so, moves into the non-turbo run animation, and that can push your defender out of the way if you're a heavy player like myself and it blows the contest.

So - is there an easier (more clear-cut) way to force a slow "walk up" to the defender without relying on the ever so gentle LS push forward?

Thanks

Anddddd just as I was about to give up trying to get Sprite Posterizer I just got it after my game, which is weird because I didn't have a contact dunk in the whole game.

Anyway, I can go back to playing normal and not trying to cheese dunk everyone, thank god.

Now second season (changed team) 8 games in still nothing despite starting every posession with a "good on-ball screen". Advice? Also Deadeye is taking me pretty long right now... whats the best way to get a jumper well contested? i play SS standard btw

You apparently have to get "Good Screen (on-ball/off-ball)" which is limited to 2-3 per game. thus it's like 50 games in a year. I did 100 set screen for score in 14 games and nothing.

# 367 XenoZograscope @ 02/16/15 09:49 PM

I took forever, but I finally just got unfazed with my second myplayer. I don't remember it taking this long with my first player.

# 368 Hopsin @ 02/16/15 10:52 PM

It says you need 200 assists in 25 games for Dimer, can you get 200 assists then sim the rest of the games? Or do you have to play every single game?

# 369 SCAxSteff @ 02/17/15 01:47 AM

You have to play 25 games in a row to get dimer. dont sim!

I guess its only limited for PF and C, cause my my teammate grade shows good on ball screen every single posession. Or is the teammate grade event not enough and its still limited to 2-3 per game?

Incorrect, I've gotten it for SG & SF. Person I play a lot of squad with has it for his PF & C. Keep going, it will come.

No Simming...ever! If you want badges don't sim, it won't help speed up the process. For whatever reason, even if you have the numbers, it won't unlock. Badges are for played games only.

If you're not trying for anything else, just bump your game time to 6 min 1/4ers and move your game speed to 100%. You'll blast through games in 15-20 minutes.

Sooo, 2K generously gave me 'Tenacious Rebounder' after 300 rebounds. I'm in the playoffs of my 1st (half) season. I'm trying for 'Deadeye' and haven't even been thinking about trying for TR. I thought it might be possible since I'm trying to stretch each series to 7 games, was near 280, and playing 12 minute 1/4ers allows me to get double digit boards easily.

After my 1st game of the 2nd series it popped up, and I went to check my rebounding stats. I'm only at 302, so clearly it triggered at 300. Anyone else been gifted this anomaly? (It's supposed to be 400 as posted)

What is playmaker discipline and how do you raise it?

thats just your playmaking attributes. (Ball control and the passing attributes)

nm, got deadeye in the pull-up in the defense face method. A bit longer, requires lower difficulty, but hey - it worked

Would still be happy to hear how to walk-up in a simpler way than pushing the LS ever so gently forward.

P.S. I saw some discussions about in-and-out. From my experience, when I did it standing up, for well over a hundred times, I didn't get the badge, but I got it pretty quick after I dedicated a couple of times during running forward in-and-out. So I recommend going that route.

# 378 MasterTMar @ 02/18/15 07:30 AM

^...that's the only way that I'm aware of to walk!?!

# 379 moshfive @ 02/18/15 03:56 PM

^... Well, on a Logitech PC controller - not really a viable option.

So - got almost all badges now, if anyone has questions about badges, shoot, (I hope I'll see them, as I am probably twice as old as most fellas here and therefore less forum-savvy than most)

# 380 Polarbear44 @ 02/18/15 08:40 PM

do the badges work or count for anything when in the park?
