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.

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.

Volume Shooter has some of the dumbest requirements. It only takes 8 games of 25+ shots out of a total of 82. I checked my stats and my first 25+ shot game was 8 games into the season and the rest were 7, 5, 8, 3, 4, 7 and 6 games apart. I could see getting the badge with like 8 consecutive games of 25+ shots, 30 25+ shot games in a season, averaging a certain number of on the season, or having a high number of FGA combined with a low FG%. I don't see how a player that averages 16.4 FGA, 9.5 APG and shoots 61% from the field is a considered a "volume shooter". If they're gonna keep the badge system, they're gonna have to seriously look at and readjust some of these badges.

On superstar casual. I'm literally throwing up shots in people's faces . Only played 2 games and hit 40 contested shots. Also I'm only taking threes. I tried 15+ ft long two pointers and didn't get it . My shots were always A- now they are B or Below mostly Cs.

The amount of shots you and your teammates get depends on your play style.

Big Al, Walker, Stephenson and Paul Millsap rarely get more than 25 shots on mine as starters and bench player rarely get more than 10(15 tops). Big Al and Walker average 15.9 and 14.7 FGA as option 2 and 2a. Stephenson average 11.4 FGA. Paul Millsap averages 7.2 FGA with us.

My role players Hairston, Cole, Roberts and Vonleh average 6.6, 4.2, 4.3 and 3.7 FGA.

Get 100 �good screen� teammate grade events in a single season. Finally, your strength attribute must be:

PG = 70
SG = 75
SF/PF/C = 80

Got Fade Ace on my Center.

Got deadeye on my center. 21 games in season 2. (7 games with 35+ shots, 14 with exactly 24 to avoid VS)
I played all games on SS/Default and almost all my shots were 2s close to the FT line after walking into the defender to force the "push off" animation.
Also used the "Screen Outlet" badge on most of my shots, and i guess therefore i never hit under 50%.

Now i need shot creator and tear dropper and i can finally stop playing mycareer ^^

I used MJ's shot and it's quite evident when the back foot staggers. Lobmob showed a method by which you walk into a defender, you're forced to use your off arm to push off, shoot then and you usually get the animation.

How many games did it take you with the MJ shot? I got Deadeye on my original character on rookie/casual in about 30-40 games. I'm hoping upping the difficulty cuts that number in half.

I agree. It should be 8 times in maybe a 15 or 30 game window or something.

Got Low Ego and Pet Move Size-Up on my Center. The low ego replaced my all time great. Is this a bad thing?

It's a meaningless thing. It just means your assist to FG attempt ratio is high. If you ball hog, you'll get all time great back. I have a question about badges in general to everyone. Do you upgrade to gold for every badge? And do you think some Badges are glitched? I remember in 2k13 the 3rd level Finisher badge was glitched. Level 1 and 2 were fine. So it's not crazy to think some might be glitched like tear dropper. I'm rolling with bronze Badges on my new guy because I'm broke but I haven't noticed a great difference. Has any experimented with bronze, silver and compared to gold.

# 92 Magnus1959 @ 01/17/15 06:33 PM

I always went straight to gold so don't know.

Started Year 4 in MC, got Mentor badge but I have stayed with the same team for 4 years and should get Heart and Soul badge but did not get it. Another glitched badge.

If you just started year 4, then you've not played with the same team for 4 years. 4 years with a team would be the end of the 4th season/beginning of 5th, not the beginning. Maybe even more since your rookie season starts near the end of the season.

this is very Helpful

Good insight never thought of that will try this

I really hope I unlock Deadeye during this playoff run I'm on. It's evident that I don't have a clue to what I'm doing. Efficiently anyways. I have 536 Made FGs since actively pursuing Deadeye. If 100 contested shots is truly the required amount then I must be doing something wrong. It doesn't seem to be any easier unlocking this than pre patch. I'm using the same method I used to get it the first time : walking up to the defender to engage in a contested mid range and shoot.

I'm not getting those layup badges and I've met the requirements ...

I feel like i've done enough hopstep layups to earn the badge as well, but still nothing.
