Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

I've been told that PF-C can only get 2 good screens a game. If this is true, its going to take 50 games. I would start the game out getting your two screens and focus on a other badges like Hustle Points, Tenacious Rebounder, Closer, Dimer, and Deadeye.

This. Apparently though, I've read on the thread, that if you save the game and come back, you can get two more good screens. (would this actually be faster to reload the game though? still annoying and another broken aspect of 2k.

Also, you should be able to get 2 "off-ball" good screens as well as 2 "on-ball" good screens. making it 4 per-game.

If that's true, go to it. Sound like to much work personally I would get screen outlet and other badges that have a bigger impact.

Bruhz. I got Scrapper and it was well worth it lol...
Dimer is the greatest badge ever.
Got Deadeye on 2 players.

I'm on 58 badges right now
6'5" PG 98 Overall

About 45 on my SF

Working on Unfazed and Fierce Competitor but Unfazed is hard to get without another Floor General on the Floor.

Does anybody have Swagger?? Or is it glitched??

I was thinking that too. Or maybe it was just because you have to do the 50 celebrations in one park session??

I'm gonna give it a shot today

Congrats on scrapper. I hate that that badge is luck took me a day on 1 guy and 3 days on my second. Swagger is glitch, glad it is tho because the park is already too unbalanced.


To be honest fierce competitor is really a first season badge because you will have a game where you a down, kinda hard to be down after that unless you get a low team grade or stay out of board on offense.

On Unfazed, do you have volume shooter, if so yeah get traded to a team with a floor general be two team imo for small forward is Bulls and Grizzlies (if the first year roster is there) because of floor general and defensive anchor badge on PG and C. If you don't have volume shooter make big plays such as transition dunk of steal, poster, limitless range 3. Once you get hot just pick and roll and take mid range and dunks.

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

I just don't see how I'm going to get acrobat, there is always someone that stops my progress before I can attempt a layup. I used a lot of pick a roll to get posterizer on my players but it seems that technique is not working for acrobat.

First off unequip all baseline, under the basket and any two footed dunks that would allow you to dunk driving the baseline area. This will allow you to use turbo to a certain degree before having to let go. Also equip the guard layup package. A lot of people will suggest Jordan, but until you have the Acribat badge the success rate of reverse layups is lower.

This is inaccurate (partially). I use the disclaimer because the caveat seems to be Patch 3. Pre Patch 3 I can guarantee both a PF & a C gained Brick Wall in 26 & 29 games respectively.

As for other positions. SG gained Brick Wall in 28 games Pre Patch 3. I'm currently 38 games in with SF POST Patch 3 and have yet to unlock it. That's why I think Patch 3 put hand cuffs on the amount of screens allowed towards the badge per game. That would suck if that happened.

I'll post when I get Brick Wall with my SF. Hopefully I can get it soon because I'm in round 2 of the playoffs. Purposefully stretching 7 game series' though.

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

Latest member of the 'Deadeye' Club checking in. 1st player I've been able to get Deadeye with. Here's some stats...

I'm a SF using Harrison Barnes shot type (don't ask why I don't know). Started legitimately trying for Deadeye 1st game of the Playoffs 1st (half season). Triggered after 12th game of the playoffs. I've been purposefully stretching 7 games series'. I made 247 FG's in the 12 game span.

My style...For the 1st 5 games of the 1st series I would drive to the area between the 3pt line and free throw line. I'd pump fake to draw the defender in and shoot when they were around me. Since then, I changed to getting the ball around half court, slowly walking up to the same area and waiting for my player to crouch because the defender closed in on me and shot.

Playing on SS, 12 min 1/4ers, at 75% speed, casual. I played a couple games on Sim instead of casual because I knew it would be more difficult and I needed to lose. I can't hit enough shots on HOF. 7th game of the 1st series I played on All Star because I needed the W to stretch the series.

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I posted earlier about 'Tenacious Rebounder' triggering after 300 boards instead of 400 for me. I just got 'Eraser' in the same fashion after my last game. I was happy that I got 'Deadeye', but then Eraser popped up too. I gained Eraser after only 55 blocks for the entire season. The posted number is 80. I'm a SF if that makes a difference, which it may.

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

Im trying to get some badges for my shooting guard, and something is totally messed up with how you get certain badges. Starting out going for all the dribbling badges, i got the size up badge after doing it 1 time, spin after 20 times and hesi after about 30, killer crossover after about 60 times even tho it states 75, i dont complain tho.

But what really annoys me right now is that i have stepback freeze and in & out left and i've seriously done each of those moves about 500-700 times each now and still nothing. anyone know anything about this?

Try grabbing the rebound, while running down the court do your in and out and for stepback do them in the halfcourt moving. Moving dribble moves unlocked the badge for me.

Yeah don't know much about PF/C brickwall badge diffrences. Its strange tho i got brick wall in game 9 on the guy i created 20 February.
