The newest edition of NBA 2K is out and its time to score 1,000 gamer points. Unlike recent sports titles like Madden 2010, the number of achievements here haven't been narrowed down, there are 50. There are more quantity-based than situational-based achievements. One major advantage is the fact there are no difficulty or time requirements to accomplish any of the 50 achievements (with a few exceptions.)
These three achievements are gained through your created player's natural progression through the game's my player mode.
Create-A-Player - 10pts - Just create a player, its as simple as that
Summer Circuit Trophy - 15pts - Finish the Summer Circuit with your 'My Player'
Training Camp - 15pts - Get through training camp with said player
Play in the NBA - 15pts - And, finally, make it to the NBA with your created player
2K Beats Playlist - 10pts - This doesn't have to do with 'My Player' but it doesn't involve creating something, like the others, its self-explanatory
The following achievements can be secured through player-specific accomplishments. While many are quite easy, others are can be a bit more difficult. One tip to make things easier is to extend the quarter lengths. All of the following must be completed in one game.
LeBron James - 25pts - Record at least 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
Sprite Slam Dunk - 25 pts - Win the Dunk Contest with LeBron James.
Kobe Byrant - 25pts - Score 50 points (this can be done in half if the quarters are long enough).
Brandon Roy - 25pts - Get 25 points and 6 rebounds.
Danny Granger - 25pts - Score 30 points, get 3 three-point scores and 2 blocks.
Dwight Howard - 25pts - Get 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks (this is only difficult as the AI is fairly accurate at scoring, making rebounds a commodity.
Kevin Durant - 25pts - Score 35 points and net 6 rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony - 25pts - Score 40 points.
Chris Paul - 25pts - Score 20 points while gaining 10 assists and 3 steals.
Deron Williams - 25pts - Score 20 points and 12 assists.
Yao Ming - 25pts - Get 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks (again rebounds can be a pain).
Dirk Nowitzki - 25pts - Score 30 points and 8 rebounds.
G Performance - 25pts - Get 25 points, 3 steals and 2 blocks with Dwayne Wade.
Dunk Off - 25pts - Beat any challenger in a dunk off
Three Point Shootout - 15 pts - I suggest using the Celtics' Ray Allen, the Mavericks' Nowitzki, Byrant or James
Rookie Challenge - 20 pts - Use a rookie team to beat the sophomores at all star difficulty or harder (though why would want to try on a harder difficulty?)
