Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

05:12 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.

Is it just a placebo effect or does it really matter. What are the games default settings for these?

Mycareer offline/mypark/rec (going after badges) 0 def. assist 0 boxout assist

other modes 95 def. assist and 95 boxout assist

First game after patch 4 installed I earned the Bruiser badge as a PF. Previously I don't think this was possible. Also earned Hardened badge at the same time. Been chasing it for a while not sure if the requirements changed or it was just coincidence. Happened after game 1, 2nd playoff round in my 2nd season.

I just got Hardened and Bruiser on my Center. Going to switch to my PF tomorrow and try to get it with him.

Gee, thanks. It would have been nice to have this earlier, but better late than never I suppose.

# 465 Magnus1959 @ 03/13/15 12:29 PM

Glad to finally get Bruiser on my big guys! Just got it on my PF too.

# 466 Magnus1959 @ 03/13/15 12:53 PM

Good to see that stumble animation and the ball flying over the basket nerfed.

Anybody been able to get deadeye after the update? I've been trying and I feel like I've made over 100 contested and still haven't got it.

# 471 P234thetruth @ 03/22/15 04:07 PM

I tried pretty hard to avoid Volume Shooter on my SG but when going for shot creator I somehow got the damn thing. I've been pretty money in park/rec will this make me more cold than hot more often than not? Should I not gold it?

It sucks so bad I had it on my PG and he is not consistent at all almost feels like his jumpers broken. I hope it doesn't do this to my SG. Smh

# 472 Matty Aqua @ 03/22/15 07:20 PM

Do these same formulas apply to player's gaining badges in MyLeague?...

I made it gold on my SG and it felt like his shooting was a roller coaster. I tried avoiding it on my SF but somehow got it the 2nd round of the playoffs. I left my SF bronze and don't feel like it has changed my shooting at all from not having it. I would just keep it bronze.

I already have microwave and unfazed as well. If you read the VS description it shouldn't do anything to you anyway.

i've been working on trying to get unfazed with my center. i have double red rings multiple times, sometimes over 4 minutes straight. still nothing.

he is 7'3 and 340 lbs, and has the following badges.

beta dog
prime time
road dog
spark plug
defensive anchor
all time great
pat my back
legendary work ethic
mind games
microwave
volume shooter
deadeye
limitless range
bank is open
posterizer
spin lay in
post hoperator
killer crossover
spin king pin
pet move size up
hesitation stunner
behind back pro
transition finisher
tenacious rebounder
post lockdown defender
interceptor
pick pocket
eraser
chase down artist
bruiser
brick wall

unfazed is by far, the most difficult ive ever dealt with. deadeye took about 400-600 contested shots made.

I have multiple careers and got it almost right away on some and just can't seem to get it on a couple others. I still think getting volume shooter before is the reason.

Have you played all 15 of the required games without simming? I've posted this a few times, so sorry to those who are reading it again, but I unlocked my last double ring hot game at game 12. I had to play 3 more games before it unlocked for me. In the last game I did not have a double ring hot for the required time. It's all about meeting the in game requirements and playing the reguired amount of games. Check your schedule and try and figure that out. You may just be a couple games out.

# 478 BellSKA @ 04/02/15 09:25 PM

I'm sure the PS4 players have already witnessed this, but for the X1 users...A few badges are actually unlocking when they are supposed to now.

I never tried for this badge until today, but 'Flashy Passer' is by far the easiest badge to unlock. I can't express how quickly you can unlock this badge. Just stand at the top of the key and press L2 (trigger) and pass (X/ O)...rinse repeat. You can flashy pass with your 2 wing players till the shot clock gets to 1 and then pop the 3.

Has anyone from PS4 seen if 'Swagger' badge is un-glitched post patch 4? I assume someone has celebrated over 50 times in the last 3 weeks.

# 479 P234thetruth @ 04/03/15 06:07 PM

Omg the grind for Deadeye is real. I just started a new season and am going for Deadeye. I'm playing on superstar 6min quarters and jacking up nearly every possession, all contested above the FT line.

I am 19 games in so far, how much longer is this going to take me? I almost feel like giving up but there's no turning back now.

When you say single season u mean regular season right? Playoffs count or not?
