Just got traded to the Thunder! I'm good for the rest of my career!

This is interesting. Playing for the kings I had it on superstar/sim. Got traded to the thunder and superstar was too easy. Turned it up to HOF. I'm guessing the additions of Westbrook and Durant are really contributing to my game.

My pg finally cracked the starting lineup for the hawks but they have me at sf. I don't want to ask for a trade because it will ruin the mode for me. If I knew they still had this bad logic in the game I wouldn't have wasted my time.

you made what position?

SMH if they're going to give everyone the same, scripted storyline, at least give me the cut scenes when they make sense. I had to do the 50 FT thing after i made 4 FTs straight in the final minute of the previous game to give us the win

Yah but did you miss 2 in a row in the same game before you made the 4 consecutive?

Re: NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Overall, I really enjoy the game, but, again, playing off-ball in MyCareer is frustrating as can be.

Entry passes: Good point guards are incapable of making easy entry passes. Westbrook stands at the top of the key dribbling for 10+ seconds while Durant has his guy sealed off at the elbow and the play breaks because Westbrook won't make the pass for some reason. This happens to my opponents as well, making it easier to defend them.

Rebounding: The big-man rebounding is worse, if anything, than any version of last-gen. I have a 7' athletic center with maxed physical attributes and rebounding (building him as a role-playing bruiser center like Pekovic). I can get 9-10 rebounds one game and 1-2 rebounds the next. The reaction time for big-men is incredibly sluggish, often taking two seconds for my player to move from a box-out animation toward the ball after a button press. That same problem doesn't happen for pg through small forward. Their reaction times are immediate with the button press, or nearly so.

The recovery times from a shot contest are far too long as well. I will play hands-up in the post and cause a miss only to be pushed fifteen feet away from the basket and be unable to contest the easy bunny after the shooter gets his own board.

Boxing out still seems to do nothing. I had Kevin Garnett boxed out on the left side of the basket and the rebound was coming down on the right side outside the key. Garnett slid ten feet to grab the offensive board, shoving me completely out of the way and into a stumbling animation, and then scored to win the game. It feels like the rebounding is still scripted. You can get a rebound only as long as the game says nobody else is going to get it.

Positioning and proper boxing out tend not to matter at all in situations where the game has decided that it doesn't.

CPU players are still psychic, moving to where the rebound is going to go even before the shot goes up.

I still get pushed out to the three point line on a boxout by such rebounding dynamos as Kyle Korver.

Playcalling: I have playcalling set to auto, but the CPU doesn't call plays at all. There will be times that I see playvision symbols at the opponent's end of the court when we are on offense. I imagine this could change with on-court coach, but I don't want to have to have a sig skill in order to play team basketball. I also can't imagine Scotty Brooks allowing his rebounding, defensive center to call plays with Westbrook and Durant on the floor.

Hello! I was about to post the same problem here somewhere. I have play calling set to AUTO and all Play Vision on FULL, but I rarely see plays called on court. Sometimes they appear, but often are broken in a matter of seconds. I noticed that play badges don't appear in the top corner like they do in MyGM mode or quick game, both in offense and defense. And NEVER a play is called as soon as the ball is inbounded at the start of an action.

At the personality test cutscene I was asked if I'd like to have COACH or PLAYER to call plays. I selected COACH. Can this have something to do with this glitch or is simply something that needs patching?

In other modes auto play calling works fine. In MyCareer I play as SF.

Re: NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Or they want us to earn our spots like actual NBA players and not take the easy way out

After playing about 10 games, the option will come up when you go to gm's office and he asks you how are you feeling about the team this point of the season.

Re: NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Please help!

My 7 ft face up PF has YET to dunk! My vert maxes out at 65 and I have raised my Dunk to 84 and Standing Dunk to 77.

I hate spending all my vc on my dunk rating, but it feels so unrealistic not being able to dunk at all. I'm worried 2k capped the vert too low and my player will never dunk! The ratings I have now should be more than enough to dunk.

Any suggestions?

This video by chris smoove kinda has me worried. Just watch the end with the scene. He put up good number and was player of the game but due to the scripting and having to follow such a "brilliant" story, the coach said he didn't do that good and needs to cut his minutes. I hope this is just some kind of glitch or something. The whole storyline thing interfering with the actual gameplay is pissing me off. I don't know why 2k thought making a cliche storyline with unnecessary drama and events that script gameplay sequences was a good idea.

I'm gonna be really annoyed if this happens to me, i'm supposed to be getting close to starting(coach said he thinks i'm ready). Nobody asked for a storyline, especially one that makes some sequences predetermined no matter what lol.

Re: NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

So now that I've broken into the starting lineup, I'm now playing the entire second half. Is this happening to anyone else?

Something similar. And i end up having no stamina in the last few minutes of the game thanks to this -_-

Yes. Coach substitution pattern issues are still a problem from 2k13 and before. I'd love to see a proper rotation for a 36 mpg guy where you play the first 8 and last 8 of every half (or close to it.) It shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Exactly. Almost forces you to use the Gatorade sig skill.

Re: NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Yea, instead of making a cutscene where my coach reduces my minutes and is not happy with my level of play even though i had a double double and got player of the game, maybe they could've taken some time to fix the rotations problems.(which were around since 2k11 iirc)....
I don't have the gatorade sig smill in 2k14, but in 2k13 i would just get more minutes so the end result would still be the same

Also CPU teammate logic is still stupid - even on HOF
