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.

Last night I thought I had it when after a game a weird loading/ save icon came up on my screen, but it was nothing. I shall continue and say sorry in advance for celebrating my 10 foot elbow jumper when my team is down 7. If anyone has triggered the 'Swagger' badge, please let us know.

It's glitched. The guy defending the inbounder should always pick up the celebrating guy's man. That way we all win and get to celebrate. Happy taunting!

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that some badge count algorithms got reset to zero after patch 3 came out. I know that's a far stretch, but I'm hoping.

My favorite badge overall is without a doubt Brick Wall. I love stoning a guy with a hard screen.

I gotta get Shot Creator on both my players. Does it light up in MyCareer off of regular dribble moves leading to shots or only of the stepback and hopstep jumper?

The sickest **** I done at the park was the Vince Carter Elbow Alleyoop dunk. Did it twice and never did it again. By far the sickest alleyoop.

I hope in 2k16 we should be able to earn Badges from playing the Park. I would earn a bunch of badges there and only play MyCareer for Attributes.

Do you play on Pro to get all those hot spots? I feel like it's impossible to do that on HOF/SS.

It activates on any shot that creates space. Stepbacks are my favorite though.

Yes and no. I played on rookie ****** to farm many badges early on but Deadeye was the last badge I got pre-patch. That required 30 to 40 games on superstar ****** of contested jumpers and I still have my hot spots.

Is there a way to move all your teammates to one side? I tried quick iso but there's always one man standing in the corner. I'm trying to get the acrobat badge and I can't do the baseline layups.

# 168 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 01/22/15 01:55 AM

I literally Haven't dunked on anybody since the patch dropped. It's been weeks my posterizer is pretty useless. I always miss the dunk . It was overpowered but now I don't see it at all

Weird the moment I unlocked posterizer I was dunking way more in MyCareer games and the Park. It bronze still and it does wonders for me. I guess you have to get your dunk tendency up in MyCareer more for them to trigger.

I get a good amount of Contact dunk on my SF, barely get hung. Not sure what the problem is for you.

# 170 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 01/22/15 07:57 AM

think I need to adjust my dunk packages or either I'm just too small

# 171 nova91 @ 01/22/15 02:00 PM

I guess brick wall isn't glitched like people have been saying it is.

It is for PF & C. All else can get it.

# 175 Magnus1959 @ 01/22/15 03:00 PM

Corner specialist does not work either.

That's not glitched, it was purposely setup that way. Why? I don't know.

Who said they set it up that way? If anyone should have Bruiser, it would be a PF or C. This is all they have said.

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

# 178 Trackball @ 01/22/15 05:22 PM

Notice that it says you are CURRENTLY unable to earn Bruiser as a PF or C. Implying that you will be able to at some point in the future.

It makes me think that this wasn't their intention, and that yet another patch will come along that makes it possible to get it when playing such. But I could be wrong.

Like Da_Czar said, sometimes the things that seem simplest on-screen end up being the hardest to program (this was the reason given for why we can't pick our jersey in MyCareer yet--they said they WANT that to happen, but right now it causes bigger problems).

My gut also tells me that Bruiser, when combined with the new Shot Fatigue system, wound up making big men shoot about 25%, so maybe they made big men unable to get Bruiser, so as to minimize the damage.

They've given us such a fun game, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Still weird, though.

# 179 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 01/22/15 05:37 PM

I'm sorry but that's BS. Bigs should be the main positions to have it. Then what's the explanation for swagger Not unlocking ?

What are the dunks packages you have on? I use the Athletic Side/Front Tomahawks, and the Uber Athletic Tomahawk Of One/Two and I get a fair share of contact dunks.
