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.

The reverse is the one under the rim which is the hardest to do because it's hard to get baseline against the CPU and to activate it. If I were you, put your control settings on absolute and when you go baseline, press the RS towards the baseline.

The changing your shot one is the easiest thing ever. Just attack the rim and trying to do a dunk and just press the shot button again while in the air. You don't even have to make them.

Reverse like the one shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2_0TqkeOQY right?

Can you actually get them or is there a bug on that? Celebrated more than 100 times in the park and still not badge!

Change your settings to Rookie, Casual, X minutes (time doesn't matter). Steal the ball at half court and drive the baseline at an angle. Hold your right analog towards the baseline. Do NOT hold turbo. It will perform a reverse layup. That's the 15.

For change of direction layup, steal the ball at half court and when you get to the hoop I use right analog, and as soon as my player lifts off the ground I turn the right analog in all different directions. I found that I have to completely stop before my shot in order for the animation to work. That's the 4.

If you're playing 12 minutes 1/4ers you can get it in one game if that's all you focus on.

It's the start of a season for me and I'm going for unfazed. Does anybody have any tips?

I'm thinking call all timeouts do 12min quarters and constant pick and roll and score. To stay hot would simply making a bucket every time keep your 2 rings? Or do you have to dime?

# 547 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 05/27/15 01:37 PM

All I did was play on 12 minute quarters with a floor general (CP3) and did the same thing that got me microwave (min 15 games in a season played) it took me like 5 games

I barely notice the badge in the rec

Hmm so you got it without going 4 straight minutes of gameplay being hot with 2 rings? Did you just get hot randomly at different times and unlocked it? I saw a YouTube I think LeAristocrat that said to just get hot in the first quarter for consecutive games and you'll get it in around 15.

This is what I posted awhile back. Keep in mind it was on Patch 3. Not sure if anything changed.

"I was able to get both Unfazed & Microwave in the same 'attempt' and avoid volume shooter. Keep in mind that it's 15 games, that's key. You can trigger microwave after your consecutive hot games, but unfazed won't unlock till after that 15th game. I had my 3rd (4 minute min) hot game around game 11 and did not get the badge after it. It wasn't till after game 15 of my trying for it did it unlock.

You can get hot a number of ways. It can be on either side of the ball also. So if you're concerned about your shot count, lock down on D. Get a ton of steals, blocks, tipped passes, forced turnovers, etc.

On the offensive end, anything can take a warm player to hot that raises your grade. Try a long 'Unlimited Range' 3. Any big dunk, work on Posterizer perhaps. Alley oops, either passing or finishing. Assists are huge. But always be the focal point when the offense scores. If you take even 1 trip down court and get no positive teammate grades for the score, you can lose your hot streak. Run all plays through you. Pass to assist counts as a positive play and will keep your streak going."

Just got Brick Wall for my SF. For some reason it took a lot longer than it took for me to get it with my SG. I got it 40 games in. I read earlier on this thread that people thought only 2 screens per game would count. That is clearly not the case.

You MUST set a screen for the player that scores. So you need to see the "Set Screen for Score" pop up.

Also got Break Starter a few days ago. Keep in mind that it's 250 defensive rebounds. I finished a game and was at 254 and was pissed I didn't unlock it. Then I realized I hadn't accounted for my offensive boards. So if you reach 250 rebounds, do the math and you'll know how many defensive boards you need to get.

I'm down to Hustle Points, Scrapper, and Charge card left. Hustle Points is obtainable, but Charge Card is impossible unless you glitched your MyCareer minutes/ sliders. Need 2 more saves for Scrapper.

Brick wall is solely "Good Screens" (along with a strength req) Just because YOU can't get charges or loose ball saves or normal sliders does not mean that it's glitched. You are more than capable of these badges on normal sliders.

It's far from misinformation. I've been working on Brick Wall with 4 different MyPlayer positions. I've noticed the "Good Screen" works for opening Screen Outlet, and only "Set Screen for Score" works for Brick Wall.

I never said any badge was glitched. Please stop putting words in my threads. I don't have any issues with loose ball saves for Scrapper. I clearly stated I already have 2 and I'm well aware of how to get them if I choose to work on that badge.

And while Charge Card is not glitched, it's extremely difficult to get, ie impossible in my opinion, without glitching your GAME SAVE data so you can adjust your sliders. I have more than enough X1 recorded video of MyPlayer clearly taking a charge, only to have the CPU spin around and the animation just make my player stumble backwards.

Either be helpful to the community or go take a nap and stop trolling on people who do try and help.

Ahh so it does require the 4 straight hot minutes. It's really hard for me I'll go 3 minutes only to have one ring dissappear if I make a normal pass to my teammate and get it back, one ring will be gone. I guess I gotta pound it or pass only if it's gonna lead to an assist. I also tried milking my shot clock never works out for me. I already have microwave btw.

This is why it takes bigs ~50 games. You clearly insinuated that charge card is glitched because your inability to get it. It's not because you're bad at taking charges. Don't promote abusing game mechanics because you can't take charges. "but Charge Card is impossible unless you glitched your MyCareer minutes/ sliders."

I've tried it on 4 different players and it was consistent. If it was just "Good Screens" tell me why I can unlock Screen Outlet in 13 games and it takes me 40 to get Brick Wall. If I'm averaging the same amount of "good screens" I should see it in the mid 20's no later than 30 games.

Let me tell you what I've noticed about the developers list...and I've posted this before on this thread. I unlocked Tenacious Rebounder after my 300th board not my 400th. I unlocked Eraser after 55 games and not 80. So defense of the developers list really doesn't help me understand your point of view.

I never insinuated anything. I made a truthful statement that the only people that I have EVER heard of getting Charge Card have used the stats/ sliders glitch. You continue to inflect your lies into what I'm trying to post. 1st you say I'm saying the only way to do something is to glitch. Now your claiming I'm promoting cheating.

# 554 Trini94 @ 05/30/15 01:26 PM

Well I reached the minimum for diner with my center in 20 games. Gotta play 5 more games to actually unlock it though lol

# 555 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 06/01/15 09:24 AM

Acrobat works so much better on my PF than my point guard .also the shot changes itself on my bigman never saw that in my guard

# 556 Trini94 @ 06/04/15 09:00 AM

Finally got Dimer, gonna start working on bank is open.

# 557 econoodle @ 06/04/15 05:15 PM

I'm lost in the woods on these Badges in 2k15.
Are they like Signature Skills from last gen where you can earn and lose them for your players in My League/GM or are they just for MyPlayer when you play as one guy?

Confused.

# 558 P234thetruth @ 06/09/15 03:23 AM

If going for Tenacious Rebounder what difficulty do you guys recommend playing on? I'm on rookie but it seems they make everything, would a higher difficulty force more misses or makes?

# 559 H Town @ 06/12/15 03:36 PM

I hope we don't have to earn badges like this next year.

# 560 Jrocc23 @ 06/12/15 06:51 PM

I do. I think it's pretty cool. I just think they need to improve on it and also make sure badges aren't glitched.
