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.

TBH it doesn't feel like it....only one that works is posterizer...it was wishful thinking that Eraser actually did something in the park.

Most do, just depends on what you're using. For example, Dimer works great for me. I can get a defensive rebound and throw a pass the entire length of the court on a rope right to my teammates chest. It also allows me to hit teammates in stride on fast breaks.

Yeah they do but some don't feel like it. For example shot creator doesn't work as often as I would like . Honestly deadeye works more than shot creator .

Others like tenacious rebounder , dimer , interceptor are very noticeable.

Yeah Shot creator is not noticeable TBH. Closer is by far the best badge. It works on both offense and defense. I get defensive stops with it in the clutch and go off when I score.

Was down 2-13 to some Ballers. I was playing with some rookies that were trash. I'm with Rivet City and struggle to score but for some reason I just went to town from 3s and ended up winning 16-14. Drop 14 points that game and hit 7 3s.

TBH I think Closer is way better than Deadeye. Just sometimes it let's people down when your shooting freethrows in the clutch and you miss. Just that WTF moment.

Speaking on badges carrying over into the Park...how about hotspots? Do red hotspots make your percentages better when in the Rec/Park? Would it help out getting a green release (it somewhat feels like it to me but not sure)?

I asked about this months ago and it was never answered.

TBH they don't at all. First of all you lose your hotspots after a while despite shooting in that area. I lost mines as soon as I finish my regular season. I think Green Release has more to do with with Badges and timing/jumpshot.

i have a question.

i pretty much only play my league. is it possible for players to earn badges in my league? and if it is possible, how so?

i know players have badges when you start your my league but can they get more as their careers progress? can a rookie with no badge obtain badges?

just wondering.

# 388 TMalone2010 @ 02/20/15 09:32 PM

why don't players earn badges in my g.m I feel like if you were able to upgrade players with badges it would add a lot of depth to that game mode , would give you more things to work towards

I don't play my league, but the same stipulations would apply to acquiring a badge as it would in MyCareer, although I am not sure how the stat reqs for certain badges would work as the simulated rookies in MyCareer obtain them without the stats.

MyCareer is all about making you, a single player a Mega Star. So now that I think about it a bit more if players gain badges in is simply due to tendecies not repeating the same BS over and over.

Can you get on fire in the park without playing with a floor general?

Because ever since i got it on my center my teammates unfairly drain 2 point shots

# 391 Magnus1959 @ 02/24/15 12:36 PM

I just don't see how I'm going to get acrobat, there is always someone that stops my progress before I can attempt a layup. I used a lot of pick a roll to get posterizer on my players but it seems that technique is not working for acrobat.

Full court press, steal the ball around mid court, dribble down, reverse layup 15 times/ 4 change direction layups.

Yeah if you have Microwave you could get hot fast.

I'm trying to get brick wall on my center and I have the strength of 80 but when I set screens I can only get 1-2 good screens per game. Have cheeked with a few people who have pf 's and they could get like 1 per possesion. Also have a point guard who I could get 1 good screen per possession. If anyone could help I would love it
Thanks

I've been told that PF-C can only get 2 good screens a game. If this is true, its going to take 50 games. I would start the game out getting your two screens and focus on a other badges like Hustle Points, Tenacious Rebounder, Closer, Dimer, and Deadeye.

# 396 tbentley @ 02/25/15 04:07 PM

Great Post
Learned alot from you guys. Just made a new player and got 51 badges my rookie season. If anybody have in question about badges pm me or quote and i will do my best to assist.

Also, you should be able to get 2 "off-ball" good screens as well as 2 "on-ball" good screens. making it 4 per-game.

If that's true, go to it. Sound like to much work personally I would get screen outlet and other badges that have a bigger impact.

Bruhz. I got Scrapper and it was well worth it lol...
Dimer is the greatest badge ever.
Got Deadeye on 2 players.

I'm on 58 badges right now
6'5" PG 98 Overall

About 45 on my SF

Working on Unfazed and Fierce Competitor but Unfazed is hard to get without another Floor General on the Floor.

Does anybody have Swagger?? Or is it glitched??

I was thinking that too. Or maybe it was just because you have to do the 50 celebrations in one park session??

I'm gonna give it a shot today
