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.

Have you achieved this badge yet? And no BS, please answer honestly. I celebrate WAYYY too much more than I should and I haven't seen it. Nor have people I play regularly with.

I've seen more 'Lucky 7's' than I've seen this...basically 4 to none.

I don't know because I haven't been counting attempt vs makes, but Acrobat. I've been blocked numerous times going for the reverse. I've clearly attempted it, MyPlayer is on the other side of the hoop, but I was blocked.

All dribbling moves, specifically spin moves. Everyone going after that badge has either lost the ball being bumped or it's been out right stolen. Those are technically attempts, but the act was never completed.

Any of the short shots, Euro, Spin Lay-in, Hop Step can all be altered during the act but you're still attempting them.

I just don't think the list descriptions were clearly stated and I feel my 'attempts' never helped me achieve the badge.

It's glitched, along with Hardened and of course Bruiser.

I don't have Swagger, but I don't recall saying that I did. I told people what the celebrate button was, which is clearly told in the game.

That link says nothing about Bruiser except for some random person asking why bigs can't get Bruiser. I've had Bruiser for a LONG time on my SF. Meet the height/weight/strength requirements, play physical. Lots of off ball bumps, holding, etc. Those things may not actually unlock it, but it's the way I played and I got it in my first season.

He just added Bruiser with the two that were talked about on that link. By the way, I'm that random person. I made the comment in hopes of getting a reason that it's not available for PF and C, as stated on the official list. Ii do have it on my SF, SG and PG but not the bigs.
"Your height to weight ratio (metric height / weight in lbs) must be 0.905 or lower. Your weight must be 220 pounds or more.

You must play 10 games into the season. And your strength attribute must be as follows:

PG: 70
SG: 75
SF: 80

Note: You are currently unable to earn this as a PF/C

Not the point. Nothing says that celebration animation is the same as "ambient button". You're making the assumption that it is when a) you haven't achieved it & b) people that have that many celebrations & more still don't have it.

"Ambient button" may be the pull back celebration animation. I don't know, but if someone triggers that badge please let everyone know.

Wow so swagger is glitched too.

Edit: trying for deadeye again wish me luck

# 68 beastmodepoboy @ 01/16/15 02:42 PM

The MyPlayer clothing store is lame as hell. I don't want to be a shirtless clown. Why don't they offer home, alternate and throwback jerseys? Wearing a Supersonics jersey would be awesome. I have a question about Acrobat. Once I learned reverse layups and 4 change layup shots got acrobat, I got it in 3 games on my shooting guard. I'm having issues getting it on my center and SF. Keep in mind that I've attempted this from the very start of my career. Despite only playing 15 total career games on my SF, I know I've met the reverse layup requirements. The change layup requirement confuses me. Is it talking about manually changing hands or auto animations? It seriously wouldn't allow me to manually change my shot. Do you need a certain layup package or level of inside scoring? I'm rolling with default packages right now.

So, is fade ace glitched for PGs? I've did way more than 30 fadeaways this season and the season before that. Anyone that's a PG unlock this badge?

I got it as a PG

So do it in the post while I have a live dribble? Meaning I can't put the ball on the ground? If so, and if that's the only way it activates, it's really no point for me trying to get it.

Earned Closer and Lob City Passer during all-star weekend.

How good is closer?

Confused it say I earned 40 but it only shows 39.

Does anyone have the Swagger badge?

If so, do you remember what happened before you got it?

LOL. I understand now. My question is once I get it, does it activate in the post like it's supposed to? If not, it's no point of me trying to get it. I rarely ever do those type of fadeaways unless I'm in trouble and it's the only option.

I wondered that too and if I activates on moving midrange fadeaways. The one where your either running to the key or baseline, shoot it and it makes your character fade back instead of in that direction.

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

# 77 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 01/17/15 04:12 AM

Fade ace activates in the post after u get it

# 78 Jrocc23 @ 01/17/15 05:17 AM

Yeah, fade ace works in the post. Tried with Kobe. Sucks the post fadeaways doesn't register. They need to get this type of stuff fixed.

# 79 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 01/17/15 06:46 AM

Been taking only contested threes trying to get deadeye. All my hotspots turned blue so hopefully I'm in the right track. Superstar difficulty

I do mind Volume Shooter. I have it on my 99 maxed out SG. I'm making a SF and I've been avoiding that 25 attempt threshold like the plague. But since you don't get VS until 8 games of 25+ attempts, I'm saving 7 of those to go wild chasing Deadeye. Which I'm in the process of now. Since I know 100 contested shots is all that's required, I'm confused on what truly counts. Has anyone truly unlocked this within 100 shots? I really don't want to dedicate another 30-50 games to one badge.
