    Thus is just In case nobody posted this or just dont kniw it. If it takes 80 blocked shots for a badge or whatever it may be for any of them and ur seasons stats say u have 10,000 blocked and u still havent got ur badge it is probably because u simulated games and ur player done whatever in those games and whatever he does in those games will be recorded as a seasurselft but will not count towards ur badge unless u actually played the game urself.

    How do you unlock grand badges??? Im a playmaker PG. Is there only one playmaker grand badge, or 5??? Are grand badges always activated???

  37. 2
    2kGodKing

    I’m also a playmaker PG. The only badges you can get above bronze are the five of your archetype (dimer,flashy passer, p&r maestro…). You can upgrade these to silver or gold using VC. Then you have to do more work in-game to get the Hall of Fame badges. For badges that aren’t for your archetype (I have pick pocket, brick wall, catch and shoot, one man fast break, break starter…) you can only get them to bronze.

    1. N
      Nab__Stur

      Set the difficulty to rookie and try , just keep grinding , I unlocked my sharpshooter grandbadge before I unlocked my hall of fame sharpshooter with the only other badge I had unlocked which was catch and shoot at hall of fame , it took me 75 corner 3’s to unlock hall of fame but it should be much easier to unlock the bronze so just try it on rookie with 8 min qtrs and see what happens

      you can just get the ball near your basket and then run up and score you don’t need to get the rebound but if you get the rebound it is alright to go to the other end

  51. A
    AboveTheCut

    Level is the boxes in each atribute upgrade , thats what i was saying some badges take a certain levl on your atribute to achieve that badge

  52. A
    AboveTheCut

    Some of these badges you have to have a atribute up to a certain point, example strength at 30 . Alot of these that show how to get the badge dont show that , you might have enough stats but your atributes might not be high enough yet to ge the badge your looking for .
    We need more detailed ways to get these badges , does anyone know if 2k has a website showing hlw to achieve these badges with exact detail

    What do the badges do for your game? When I buy these, does it make me better?

    1. M
      Mike

      Yes, it makes you better…it is basically a hidden attribute bonus….for instance, if you have dimer, you will pass a tad better than you would without it, regardless of your current passing attributes. It is a bit complicated and overdone, but at least this year, there are fewer badges, and they have condensed some of the badges into a single badge. They are vital though, and you should work to get them if you have the time and patience, some of them are a real grind (mid-range deadeye, ankle-breaker, dimer all take quite a few games to achieve).

  55. D
    Dominique Bryson

    What does it mean when it says for defensive anchor get defender to ” level 18″ ? What does this mean please help

    1. M
      Mike

      There are categories that you have to upgrade using VC in order to improve your player…one of them is Defense, and in order to get Defensive Anchor, you need to have 18/25 of those upgrades purchased. This is unconfirmed, since it was the same in 2k16 with only 20 available levels. Some archetypes won’t even allow you to purchase up to level 18 in defense, so you might have to be a certain archetype to obtain this goal.

    To get posterizer just keep dunking when the AI is near you. You don’t need contact dunks. Takes way more than 25

    I got cltuch perfomrer on a missed layup in game 7 of the nba finals(the irony). I dont know the exact number but im pretty sure its just like last year where u have to shoot over 40% in the final minutes of the game. I shot like 46% from the field in the 4th quarter though.

  67. E
    Eric Johnson

    You need double moves leading to score off assist not your own shot. Oh and it’s 200 .?

      It doesn’t have to be assists I did it with just scoring and I got it

    thegodzeuss

    anyone knows if you can see how many double move leading to score you got?

  69. B
    Breatholder

    Put “Catch and Shoot” badge on the list.
    I don’t know what’s the required success %, but I got it when I missed a “catch and shoot” shot, so that tells me there must be a certain amount of attempts required too. It was my first upgradable badge and I don’t do that many “catch and shoots” so can’t be that many…perhaps do like 10 out of 20…I don’t know 😀

    1. 2

      You have to pass out after you get it and get an assist, you can’t be the one to score or you won’t get it. It should say double move leading to a score after you pass out

    2. M
      Monte

      It’s 200 double move leading to score assists

      1. J
        John drexel

        It doesn’t have to be an assist I got it by just getting double move scores

      2. T

    I think the tireless scorer badge is tied to the agility level. i have over 500 attempts exhausted, and I CANNOT get this badge.

      Its not. Its just a grind. Got it after 15 games of straight chucking shots when flashing red

      1. P

        200 moving shot dribble pull up and hop shot etc. but moving jumper with this badge

    2. C
      CodeRedBULLY

      Tireless scorer is based on moving junpshots i.e. spin jumpers, hop jumpers, step back jumpers, etc. Make 200 of those. FYI difficult shots are based off 175 ATTEMPTS of the same types of jumpers

      1. R
        Rylen

        When it says difficult shot badge does it still go towards your tireless scorer badge if don’t have it yet ?

        1. C
          Corbin

          Yes and no, you have to be drained and doing difficult shots I found.

          1. M
            Miller

            YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DRAIN YOUR ENERGY! STOP SPREADING THIS INFORMATION. Pullup/hop/spin jumpers activate it

          2. R
            Rj

            They’re full of shit I’ve chucked up 30 jumpers in red per game for 10 straight games and nothing.

    1. S

      1. M
        Mguel

        how u do them? When I think I have one the ticker said slam dunk not contact dunk?

        1. D
          Devin

          Just dunk bro they don’t even gotta say contact dunk bro I got it by just dunking and I never got contact dunk grade I just dunk with people around me and it just says slam dunk but I still got posterizer

          1. G
            Gabriel de leon

            This is wrong cuz I have played 30 plus games played dunking on Everoyne way more than 15 times and I’m a slasher and I can’t get posterizer at all if u can help me that would be great

        2. M
          malik

          And your contact dunk has to be 82 or higher

          1. R
            Riley

            I have gotten well over 15 contact dunks yet I still don’t have the posteriser badge…….

        3. V
          Versache Chappell

          Call ISO play and then do a standing spin to get past your defender and I enemy will be in the paint for u to dunk on him and get a contact animation

    2. J
      Justin Mattos

      i got it with 5

    3. T
      Teej

      Need to have a contact dunk animation

      1. C
        Charly

        Wrong I know a Playmaker SG with Posterizer and they can’t get contact funk animations

        1. R
          Robert Cooper

          Even if you completely miss the dunk, ou just need the animation of going over them to
          Get posterizior (either 5 or 15 times)

        1. A
          Acroking

          Yes they can just do a pump fake first

    4. E
      Ethan

      You don’t need contact dunks AT ALL. I stopped trying for contact dunks and just dunked the ball 60 times in a half, I am sure that some were contact dunks but the one that got me the badge was not.
      I sat out the 2nd half and upgraded to gold, immediately upon starting the next game in my career the badge went to HOF without any shots by either team. The next dunk I did (fast break with no defender in sight I earned my Athletic Finisher Pro Badge or Grand Badge.
      I wouldn’t be surprised if some combination of contact dunks and “highlight” dunks gets you the badge but I am almost certain that the badge can be gotten without contact dunks. The badge lights up on EVERY dunk I do. If the badge lights on every dunk why would you have to get contact dunks to get it.
      Getting a contact dunk without this badge is pretty much a miracle anyways.
      Spend 2 12 minute quarters on rookie dunking every time you get the ball and then tell me you need contact dunks

      1. G
        George

        I have a 6’7 205-pound slasher PG and I had to do 15 contact dunks to get the badge so you are very incorrect. the posterizor badge lights up because you have a higher percentage of dunks with it. Nice try, though. Fool someone else

        1. E
          Elshaun

          No I got the badge with no contact dunks I got it just but dunking a player who had little contact and that were close to me so you and him are wrong but you can get it faster with actual contact dunks
