Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

[weiatengland]

Great news for anyone who has VolumeShooter and doesn't have Microwaves! I just unlocked Microwaves as my 57th badge for my PG. One way of getting two red rings with VS is that trade to a team with a floor general, however, as I don't want to leave Doc Rivers, I have to find another way. Here is my method:
1. Get Closer, Fierce Competitor badges first, these two badges will help you get two rings when your team is down late.
2. In the first 3 quarters and first 7 minutes in the 4th quarter, try to drag your team down so that the opponent team can lead by about 20 points with 5 minutes left.
3. Now all you need to do to get two rings are making two limitless range three pointer, converting a 3 points play (hop-step layup is a good method for getting foul and making the basket), and passing a alley-oop (your teammate must score with this pass) in a row.
Hope this may help those who are struggling to get Microwave with VS.

1st 10 will count for longevity (duration of the season) badges. However, I've seen it screw up badges that require you to play 25 games in row. Dimer got weird on me the 1st time I did it when I skimmed 1 game around the 12 game. But for tenacious rebounder, it will only count the 1st 10 and then continue the count after your simmed games.

I'm tempted to try to get deadeye for a third time this time without volume shooter smh

So worth it..Not that I think it is a huge difference, but it is so obvious how quickly I get "hot" w/ 2 rings in park/rec now.

Took me 15 games to get Sprite Posterizer. I don't even use it that much I just wanted it for MyPark. 3 games away from perimeter and post lockdown defender on my SF. I hope they make some of these badges easier to get next year or at least have a progress bar. The grind is real

I don't know about easier, because people already cheese to get badges and abuse them online...

But progress bar I agree 100%.

I shouldn't be playing a game recklessly driving to the rim for posterizer 30 times in a game, and throwing nothing but flashy passes off pick and rolls, while shooting in someone's face for deadeye and not knowing if it's working or not...makes me feel like I don't even know what basketball is haha

Yeah it's really frustrating looking for those teammate grade comments to know if you got credit or not...

As far as being easier, I didn't necessarily mean less games or something like that. But even this year it took them like 3 months to come out with an explanation on how to get each badge...really?

I think making them easier would be by having that progress bar, at least I'd know what I'm grinding for.

For guys who like playing multiple positions the grind is killer

You'll need a lot of math and even more patience. I got VS after my 18th game going for deadeye. I missed a 25 shot game from earlier in the season. I was pissed. I still have it on bronze.

I really wish you had the ability to Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Off all badges. Or like years before, allow us to only equip so many. Mix & match with your squad to make an ultimate Park team. Allow us to make those changes IN the Park instead of going to the home menu.

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

Definitely need more badges in the park and definitely at least a notification during the game when u got a badge or a special move

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

I think the defensive badges like post lockdown , perimeter lockdown , interceptor , maybe eraser need to be stronger next year .

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

More Qs:
1. For Unfazed badge, does the player have to get hot when 2 rings are flashing around him or just a red ring around? This second in the microwave, right? Also, when you are hot in offence but make a foul or turnover in defense do you lose the 2 rings'?
2. For Fade Ace i've made already more than 50 fade away and still not getting it. Please correct me if i'm wrong: post the defender, L away from hoop and shoot (I get good grade and extra point for doing post move), right?
3. For Hop-Stepper & King of Euros it does not seem to work every time with R pointing right. Do I have to be on a specific angle to the hoop or you can do it from any direction you go? Is it easier on fast breaks?
4. Trying to get Post Stepack Pro but there is no way to make this move found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUdC22CFqRY). Whats the trick to stick on the defender and still dribbling? I just cannot make it
5. Do All Star Game stats count for the badges that need consequent games?

Thanks in advance and sorry for many Qs

Re: Earning Badges in NBA 2K15

You don't get fade ace from doing post fade aways. You have to to the fade away jumpshots without going in the post. Just pulling the LS back.

Once you do get the badge, it'll activate on the post fades as well. Weird, I know. But a lot of the badges was buggy as hell.

What do u mean "activate post fades" ? I can make post fades without facing the fade ace badge already. Thanks for the clarification anyway. Any info on how to make the move for the Post Stepack Pro>?
