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.

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

Congrats on scrapper. I hate that that badge is luck took me a day on 1 guy and 3 days on my second. Swagger is glitch, glad it is tho because the park is already too unbalanced.

To be honest fierce competitor is really a first season badge because you will have a game where you a down, kinda hard to be down after that unless you get a low team grade or stay out of board on offense.

On Unfazed, do you have volume shooter, if so yeah get traded to a team with a floor general be two team imo for small forward is Bulls and Grizzlies (if the first year roster is there) because of floor general and defensive anchor badge on PG and C. If you don't have volume shooter make big plays such as transition dunk of steal, poster, limitless range 3. Once you get hot just pick and roll and take mid range and dunks.

First off unequip all baseline, under the basket and any two footed dunks that would allow you to dunk driving the baseline area. This will allow you to use turbo to a certain degree before having to let go. Also equip the guard layup package. A lot of people will suggest Jordan, but until you have the Acribat badge the success rate of reverse layups is lower.

This is inaccurate (partially). I use the disclaimer because the caveat seems to be Patch 3. Pre Patch 3 I can guarantee both a PF & a C gained Brick Wall in 26 & 29 games respectively.

As for other positions. SG gained Brick Wall in 28 games Pre Patch 3. I'm currently 38 games in with SF POST Patch 3 and have yet to unlock it. That's why I think Patch 3 put hand cuffs on the amount of screens allowed towards the badge per game. That would suck if that happened.

I'll post when I get Brick Wall with my SF. Hopefully I can get it soon because I'm in round 2 of the playoffs. Purposefully stretching 7 game series' though.

Latest member of the 'Deadeye' Club checking in. 1st player I've been able to get Deadeye with. Here's some stats...

I'm a SF using Harrison Barnes shot type (don't ask why I don't know). Started legitimately trying for Deadeye 1st game of the Playoffs 1st (half season). Triggered after 12th game of the playoffs. I've been purposefully stretching 7 games series'. I made 247 FG's in the 12 game span.

My style...For the 1st 5 games of the 1st series I would drive to the area between the 3pt line and free throw line. I'd pump fake to draw the defender in and shoot when they were around me. Since then, I changed to getting the ball around half court, slowly walking up to the same area and waiting for my player to crouch because the defender closed in on me and shot.

Playing on SS, 12 min 1/4ers, at 75% speed, casual. I played a couple games on Sim instead of casual because I knew it would be more difficult and I needed to lose. I can't hit enough shots on HOF. 7th game of the 1st series I played on All Star because I needed the W to stretch the series.

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I posted earlier about 'Tenacious Rebounder' triggering after 300 boards instead of 400 for me. I just got 'Eraser' in the same fashion after my last game. I was happy that I got 'Deadeye', but then Eraser popped up too. I gained Eraser after only 55 blocks for the entire season. The posted number is 80. I'm a SF if that makes a difference, which it may.

# 406 Andreas85 @ 02/26/15 11:01 PM

Im trying to get some badges for my shooting guard, and something is totally messed up with how you get certain badges. Starting out going for all the dribbling badges, i got the size up badge after doing it 1 time, spin after 20 times and hesi after about 30, killer crossover after about 60 times even tho it states 75, i dont complain tho.

But what really annoys me right now is that i have stepback freeze and in & out left and i've seriously done each of those moves about 500-700 times each now and still nothing. anyone know anything about this?

Try grabbing the rebound, while running down the court do your in and out and for stepback do them in the halfcourt moving. Moving dribble moves unlocked the badge for me.

Yeah don't know much about PF/C brickwall badge diffrences. Its strange tho i got brick wall in game 9 on the guy i created 20 February.

Are badges earned the same way in Association mode as they are in MyPlayer?

I got posterizer having 1 contact dunk in my entire career and none during my second season(when I got the badge). I dont like the grinding for badges and tried playing my center career hof sim and somehow I unlocked posterizer.

# 411 jeremyp1223 @ 02/28/15 09:36 AM

I go posterizer on 5'11 pg and ive never done or seen it say contact dunk in upper right corner.

# 412 UC2SMOOTH @ 02/28/15 03:04 PM

I have 2 characters with 50+ badges finally got that unfazed

Pre Patch 3 it definitely took me 15 contact dunks to get it. Post Patch 3 I got Posterizer within 6 games of legitimately trying for it. I had (I believe) 2 contact dunks in the game I triggered it. I didn't think anything of it. Just assumed I had enough from previous games.

So does a Jordan reverse layup count toward acrobat or not? I know people have said the the guard layup works better.

# 415 Magnus1959 @ 03/02/15 04:57 PM

Ok my PF is the first to get Acrobat.

# 416 Trini94 @ 03/03/15 12:10 AM

I've been stuck on 3 loose ball saves for the longest with my center lol.

# 417 Magnus1959 @ 03/03/15 10:48 AM

Got Acrobat on my MJ Career.

# 418 Magnus1959 @ 03/03/15 12:08 PM

Got Acrobat on my T-Mac Career. Turns out I was just missing my 4 change shot layups. Need it on my C and SF yet.

How are you performing your 'change of shot' animations? I used to be able to do them at will, now I can't get one and I just need those 4.
