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

Just got eliminated in the Western Conference Finals against the Blazers. Even though I was missing DeMarcus Cousins and I. Thomas, I still felt like we could have won it all.

Game 6 against the Blazers left me in awe, simply because of the computer. I use the term "god mode" loosely, usually. However, this time I use it in a more absolute way.

Leading 12 coming out of the half, I immediately felt like I was going to lose. My player started missing open shots, my teammates started turning the ball over randomly, to include throwing passes straight out of bounds. Against the odds, I led going into the fourth.

Never again though, as this is where the absolute part comes in. It felt like I was in Space Jam out there. Like I was playing the Dream Team. The computer wasn't even trying to be subtle anymore, it had already determined who was winning this game.

I guess their is always next year.

Well, in came the offseason after my Cleveland Cavaliers dropped the 1st round series to the Pacers in Game 7.

Irving and Varejao stayed with us.

LeBron James skipped Miami to head to the Lakers.

And Carmelo Anthony went....

To the Utah Jazz.

Strange game 3 start in West finals with OKC.. we're up 20-8 6 minutes in already.. my SF has 4 points 4 assists and 5 boards in those 6 minutes.. and Kevin Love has come out firing.... he must be looking for an off-season trade to Cleveland

38-19 lead after 1 quarter.. I didn't know Target Center could be a home court advantage, even in 2k

22 point lead at Halftime.. is down to only 4 point lead after 3 quarters.. should have known 'God Mode' would return

Forced to take over or lose in the 4th quarter of this one to survive and get the win.. scored 16 in the quarter yet OKC still got the game as close at 93-91 before a 19-6 run put us over the top and uncatchable

Only game of the first three Western finals that I've outscored Durant.. my 43 to his 39.. 11 points UNDER his first two game average in the series. No 'dunk show' like they had in their game 2 blowout win either.. just 6 this game.

I can't even play the mode anymore. it's so rigged.

Seriously there is no middle ground when it comes to difficulties in this game.

Superstar mode is way too easy and I almost always end up blowing out the other team. in HOF mode they don't miss ANY shots. Like ANY...fading out of bounds behind the backboard? THE SHOT WILL GO IN. no matter who it is. a guy will have a 60 3pt rating and drain a 3 right in your face.

IT seems that the baseline fade-away jumper goes in 99% of the time by EVERY shooter.. every once in a while I'll get lucky and notice it coming and go block it when it's not my guy. Durant actually missed 2 of those in the game 3 we beat them.. but he shot every touch in the second half.. oh wait.. she shot EVERY tough in the entire game.

The opponents playoff 3 point % has been obscene.. honestly never gotten to conference finals in a 2K game because I used to spend a LOT of time playing NHL games.. since NHL skipped Next Gen in the first year and there's no baseball game for XBox (RBI doesn't count as a console baseball game) I'm still going.. not sure HOW much better stats get for AI/computer teams in career playoffs usually but this is nuts

I can easily tell when a game is scripted. There's nothing you can do about it unless you want to put up obscene numbers that aren't realistic.

Thing thats starting to drive me crazy, My teammates are refusing to shoot wide open shots. When I first started they were no hesitation launching won 5 in a row that way. Now they are catching, wide open pump fake then drive into traffic.

I feel like the close-out speeds and lack of true momentum/footplanting have a lot to do with this. I can be set up for a perfect drive-and-kick offense, with a guy in the corner. I drive the lane, and his defender breaks to cut me off, leaving him wide open. I make the pass, and that same defender stops on a dime, changes directions and gets back to defend him before the ball gets there.

It's one of my major gripes with the game. It allows the CPU defenders to sag off every player a ridiculous amount and clog the paint, while defending the perimeter at the same time.

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

Hate it where you jump up and block a shot, they rebound the ball again and go back up but your feet are stuck to the floor.

Can anyone please tell me why my pg cannot perform any kind of windmill dunk at all. His ratings are through the roof dunking and vert are maxed out and I also have posterizer as well as highlight film sigs and still no luck. Anyone else have this problem? (PS4)

1. I'm assuming you have one equipped

2. You have to be in the right position for specific dunks

Could be just what fits the team you're on better.

This is the first time for the whole season that we're blown a team out by 30.. I'm still dumbfounded by it and I played that game last night..
