    I'm earning Zero badges.

    14 games into the second season
    19 ppg
    3 rpg
    8 apg
    3 spg
    55 fg%
    50 3pt%
    95 ft%

    No badges

    I should have a PnR badge by now at least.

    Am I the only one experiencing this?
    Playing NBA 2K feels like a job that pays minimum wage and then cuts your pay when you get your Bill's right to make it even harder to succeed. I do not like this game but it's the only one in town.

    At cheese, I'm trash. At basketball, I'm great!

    Yes.

    Are you playing the games completely or simming to the end? You have to play the games. Also, the badges don't pop up when you earn them this year, you have to go and look after each game.

    But I have no problems, still trying to get Interceptor; but have most of the others I want as a PG.

      Yes I am playing them. I a have a sf with most of the badges i want except interceptor but he cant shoot so I made an outside pg.

      After every game i go to attributes also but see 0 0 0. I'll play 5 more games and check back.

        If you earned badges with your SF, you know that it is a grind no matter what. the main difference is some badges have different requirements depending on position. some will require more, some will require less.

          Not true. Most badges require the same amount of assist, rebounds, contested shots etc regardless of position. No clue why the OP isn't getting badges though. Try to get the dribbling badges first since they are the easiest and see what happens.

            If you follow the 2k15 badge guide to the T, you're guaranteed to get most if not all of the badges. The personality badges u get from connections so it's even easier obtaining those.

            Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hustle Points badge is the only badge that it's requirements changed and it is also MUCH easier to get deadeye badge this year from what I personally witnessed.

            These are new badges that have been added:

            Relentless Finisher
            Championship DNA
            Wildcard
            Offensive crasher & Defensive crasher (no more tenacious rebounder)

            I have 41 badges so far 11 games into my 2nd season grinding hard for each badge using the 2k15 guide and so far so good. Stats don't play a part unless it's part of a requirement, but majority of them u have to do "X" amount of attempts or makes to get them.

              41 badges 11 games into the 2nd season? I find that hard to believe seeing as your first season is 8 games and you get little minutes.

                Here's the badges guide link for anybody who hasn't seen it. 2K released it back in January. It tells you exactly what you need to do to earn a certain badge.

                I found it pretty easy to earn badges in 2K16. But I guess I was focusing each game on earning a certain badge.

                  I really do! The second I got into the NBA my rookie season I started badge hunting. I acquired around 10-12 badges rookie season. I began with dribbling badges and while doing dribbling I also went for corner specialist, limitless range, and bank is open. I played on 12 min quarters too so every extra minute counts.

                  I got pickpocket and spin lay in rookie season as well since requirements for spin lay in is only 20 attempts and stealing the ball is easy when your defensive attribute is high. Every game I have acquired at least one badge following said requirement. On my 10th game 2nd season I unlocked 6 badges from one game. Bruiser, shot creator, relentless finisher, king of euros, fierce competitor, and post stepback pro. Just gotta grind hard and think..will this move, shot, pass, etc help me obtain whatever badge and stay the course.

                  Next badge(s) I'm going for are the rest of post up move badges and closer. For those who want to know how to get fierce competitor just make sure you're down by 10 points or more and 50% or better on 50 attempts. How I did this was very cheesy, but it works!

                  I called all my timeouts as soon as jump ball was done and u get a technical foul for each timeout u call thereafter and u don't get penalized on your teammate grade so who cares lol. So I purposely started the game 40-0 because it gives the other team a freethrow and possession to score more points without much time taken off the clock. As soon as they score or if they miss I would call another timeout so they get the ball right back lol.

                    Cool I'll have to try it out then, hopefully it's easier this year. Not going for as many dribble moves as I'm a Center this year. Last year earning badges was a pain sometimes.

                      How did you get bank is open, my player never uses the bank, very very rarely. Is it possible to force myPlayer to use glass? I know it used to be possible, but I haven't been able to do it last couple of years, is there a special button combo?

                        Used to be holding LT before. You hold the right stick towards the hoop and the best spots are at an angle. As far as I know it don't matter the distance. Make 30 of them and you'll unlock it.

                            Shoot midrange jumpers at an angle (closer to the baseline, or foul-line extended) while holding L2.

                            Run pick-n-pop plays to get in the best position for an open shot, without any defenders nearby.

                            Set a screen for a teammate somewhere inside the 3point line... when they rub off & use it... Call for the ball back and shoot a bankshot jumper from a stand still. (Hold L2 on PS4)

                            Try to hit at least 5 of these shots per game and you will get that badge in no time at all.

                              Good call on the fierce competitor badge. I'm gonna have to try that. I have 65 badges with my point guard, but charge card is giving me issues. I try to trap along the baseline like last year but I can't. I still need offensive crasher also
