A few tips...

1. Hit teammates while they're cutting to the basket
2. Hit teammates on the break
3. Run alot of pick n rolls
4. On XBOX if you press the X button when a teammate has the ball they will shoot it or at least attempt to get to the basket before they pass

I am running a PG on the Timberwolves as well. My team record was 3-2 at the 5 game mark and is now 5-2. (We had an overtime win against the Lakers and a surprise win against OKL who were dealing with injuries.

Right now, I am the 6th man at 31 minutes and I am only averaging 1.6 assists per game. Then again I am being put into the SG position for the majority of my time and in the Timberwolve's playbook that means catch and shoot situations.

Speaking of which - if you are looking for assists there is two ways of approaching getting them in this system - by dumping it inside to one of the bigs or by hitting one of the perimeter playersin the corners for a 3.

If you dump it inside, you should wait until the shot-clock is low, otherwise they will attempt to pass it to an open 3-shooter. With one of the 3-pt specialists, I prefer giving it to Martin then to Budinger and then to Love (if he migrated out). Martin pulls the trigger the most followed by Budinger followed by Love... everyone else, in my experience (been playing with the Wolves since 2k11) is hit and miss. Especially Brewer who it seems tries to do the opposite of what I want him to do.

The new guy Mohhammad(sp) is about 50/50 but he only plays 8 minutes right now.

Anyways back on topic - the Wolves run a modified Triangle type of offense with the corner threes being the outlet pass and Love is supposed to be the floor stretcher. This year love has trouble transitioning from the paint to the arc and back again - teams are more likely to key on him. So if you want to use him more, you are going to have to draw double teams to yourself and get him open that way more.

I am really enjoying the Wolves this year.

Question to everyone: Which teams do you recommend for Centers. I am thinking of making a second guy as a Center but I don't Know this year's draft class very well and I'm not sure which teams to aim for. I don't want a total rebuild - I'd rather be on a team that is just missing one piece.

Is it even possible to get drafted by the Magic ? Had like 33 pts, 3 assts, 8 rebs, 3 stls and 2 blocks in the showcase, yet the Wizards were the team with the highest pick to interview me, didnt want to go there and got drafted by the Pelicans, also got a save where i got drafted by the Suns. So if i don't get drafted by the Magic should i go to the Pelicans or Suns ?

Btw i'm a 6 ft 3 athletic PG

I also have PG with the wolves, and created a 7 foot defensive center. I got drafted by the Thunder. Not what I wanted, but sounds like what you are looking for. As Perkins is only 70 OVR and not very good on offense, its easy to overtake him for the starting spot really quick.

Is anybody getting a freeze before your my player games start? Mine freezes up constantly.

I can't decide what position I want to play. I first picked a 6'10'' PF, but the rebounding pissed me off so I went with a 6'4'' PG. Not even a month into it, I was dominating the game, and my team wasn't losing. I averaged almost 30 a game, and I wanted a more realistic career.

I just started another one, a 7'0'' defensive Center. I'm not going to worry about my offensive game much, most of my VC is going to go into his defensive stats. Hopefully that will make it more realistic.

Out of all the teams, I'm pretty sure the Detroit Pistons don't need a Center...but guess who drafted me? Smh...Draft logic seriously needs fixed in this game. My PG was drafted by the Pelicans, who just traded for Jrue Holiday to be their PG of the future. Makes no sense.

You will enjoy playing big if you let the game take on its flow. let AI run its plays. Do not force it or call for the ball unless your wide open under the rim. rebounding seems bad but if you add vertical and rebounding attribute you should get yours. I have max vertical and 80 offensive and defensive rebounding and I get around 12-18 boards while playing 31 mins. there will be stretches where you cant get a board to save your life but keep at it. Its the most fun position in 2k14 I think.

Also trade logic is better. I (rated 72) got traded to raptors for hansborough(rated 70), unlike in previous years where lakers would trade kobe and howard to bobcats for me lol
