Good idea i think i will go to the Jazz.

Good choice. Nice post players. Paul Millsap is likely to leave via free agency but that frees up time for Favors who is athletically superior...

I really struggle away from the ball (or even off the dribble) with my 2-guard.

Any ideas on what to search for to help with understanding these systems.

Away from the ball I'll try to run my play route, but get notoriously interfered with by constant bumping animations that lock down my player (I can't actually push L-stick away from the opponent to break out of it either).

It seems like excessive use of Turbo can contribute to it, but I have no idea how to run my routes that take me through the key without spending 5-10 seconds dealing with bumping animations.

I need practice, but unfortunately the practice mode for MyCareer is a bit lacking.


The situation is aggravated tenfold because I seem incapable of providing the same bumping animations on defense, allowing the opposing player to seemingly proceed down to the key at will. Occasionally I may bump him around, more often than not I just move into even worse position. So frustrating

A player making $30M+ gets traded for a player who isn't making anything close to that...oan, who starts at the 2 now? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Plus, shouldn't Kobe have a no trade clause anyway?

I'm having a great time as an All-Around SG for the Raptors. My team can be deadly when they want, with a starting 5 of Calderon, Me, DeRozan, Bargnani, and Horford. WE traded Lowry to ATL for Al Horford and he's been a difference maker.

I have same problem but using RS(XBOX) you can easily maneuver around people, if you need help you can try the training camp in the main menu which sheds light on some of the off-ball controls that helps you get around on the court.

Haven't done it, but you might want to try Legends drill with Jerry West. He goes over off-ball movement, worth a shot at least.

I thumped the rookie showcase lowered down to being the 17th overall draft pick from the Mavs.

1st season I ended up with: 23.3 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 10.1 APG, 1.1 Steals, 0.4 BPG

I got rewarded with the Rookie of the Year and I was well on trying to get to the finals... I got 4-2 loss from the Lakers, Kobe shoots like 40 every game, (except when I guard him, which coach never likes or the game never likes. He only went 5 pts in game 4.)

2nd season now (7 games in), I wanted to focus on my rebounding, so I ended up with:

26.3 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 8.3 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1.1 BPG

I'm happy that I amped up my defense, I also got to pick what free agents I wanted so I picked the 5... only 1 got picked and which was Greg Oden. For some reason he plays extremely well on D like no other, he contained howard to 8pts and he gets like 10-12 rebounds almost every game.

We're 5-2 right now... and detroit pistons are 1st in NBA lol..

By the way does anyone know how to get the star status? I've been playing for like 2 seasons and I never got it.
