NBA 2K22 has had its fair share of bugs and errors ever since the launch of the game, but that’s not dented the popularity of the NBA simulation series. Season 2 in the game has brought about a few glitches that make completing some newly introduced quests impossible. One of them is the NBA 2K22 Gym Rat Badge not working or showing up. For current-gen players, it’s easier to get the Gym Rat Badge, but the bug complicates the situation.
To get the Gym Rat Badge in NBA 2K22 current-gen you must win a championship on MyCareer. But, players are reporting that even after winning a championship, the badge does not show. Some key NPCs in the game are also not intractable. Season 2 has introduced some critical bugs in the game. Keep reading to know more.
For some players, the badge does not appear in the questline, making it impossible to get it. So, you must be wondering if there is a fix you can apply to get around the bug. Unfortunately, there is no fix. Unlike the Rebirth quest that also bugged but has several workarounds, there is no way to get the Gym Rat Badge if it’s bugged for you.
The issue is widespread and there are very few players who have been able to obtain the badge after the season 2 patch.
The development team of NBA 2K22 is aware of the bug and here is a brief of the response a player on Reddit got from the support. The support assured that the devs are aware of the problem and working on a solution; however, the exact timeline or ETA on the fix was not shared. The support recommends keeping an eye on the game’s Twitter for an update on the situation.
He is caught in a loop between writing about games and playing them. It's a vicious cycle. Although he's biased towards PC, you can occasionally find him on the PS5. He does not own an Xbox Consoles but plans on getting one soon.
So I won a championship on Nba 2k22 on current-gen today and my gym rat badge isn't showing up does anyone know why?

Ever since NBA 2K22 was released, millions of gamers from around the world are rushing to explore the new overhauls and additions in the game. 2K Sports has introduced numerous new features such as new badges, a brand new The City for a narrative story experience, a Cruise ship as a neighborhood, new in-game mechanics and new NBA challenges, to name a few.
Looking at years past, the Gym Rat badge has always been a coveted asset for gamers as it boosts your player by drastic margins and isn't easy to get.
NBA 2K22 MyCareer: Gym Rat badge, explained
The gym rate badge has always been a favorite among gamers in the NBA 2K community as it boosts your player's physical attributes without extra hard work. In Next Gen, one has to grind the Gym Rat Challenge in the Gatorade Training Facility and complete three-star or higher quality workouts 50 times to unlock the Gym Rat badge.
This process takes a minimum of 10-12 weeks as each training activity maxes out at 5 three-star finishes a week.
This method of grinding can be incredibly frustrating as it feels like it has been designed to fail and frustrate the player. 2K Sports hasn't given a major overhaul to this aspect of the game so gamers are bound to get annoyed and take time with this process of earning the Gym Rat Badge.
However, millions of gamers will still go through the torment of finishing this two-to-three month-long task because it is reward at the end feels like it was all worth it.
What does the Gym Rat badge do in NBA 2K22?
Everyone is rushing to earn the Gym Rat badge in NBA 2K22 because it serves as a permanent boost to your player's Speed, Acceleration, Stamina, Vertical and Strength, while also adding an extra portion to your Stamina Meter.
It is a method to permanently get rid of the training facility and never work out in NBA 2K22.
In NBA 2K22 Next gen, it doesn't show up as a stat but is rather an "always active" feature for your player. 2K Sports producer Zach Timmerman engaged with concerned fans on Twitter and clarified the change in NBA 2K22.
In next gen there is no +4 to physicals. Its an "under the hood" modifier to the results that can occur in the game when these physical attributes are used. Gym Rat essentially turns this modifier on at all times without needing to go to the gym
