[QUOTE=SmooveBeast;2046412775]1. I'm assuming you have one equipped

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

Yes I do and I have tried every angle on a fast break with just those dunks equipped and he just does layups. On xbox 360 I didn't have any issues at all. It is really disappointing having upgraded systems and not having the luxury of all the animations (player customization as well).

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

I'm posting here about MyCareer on PS3, but its pertaining an opinion on my free agency and since this gets way more traffic I thought I'd ask here too.

I've just won my first NBA title with the Mavericks as a Center winning 69 games in the regular season. LeBron joined year 2, so our core was Ellis-LeBron-Dirk-Me. Well Dirk has retired with 2 chips and I've hit FA. The first roster I wanted to check in Negotiations was of course my Mavs.. well it turns out we acquired my rival (lol kinda considered him to be) DWIGHT HOWARD. Kinda made me mad considering he plays C so now I'm stuck in a limbo. Having a core of Lebron-Dwight-Me-Monta would probably break the NBA, but I would have to move to the PF spot and of course my numbers probably wouldn't improve too much.

So.. out of these lineups that appeal the most to me, which do you guys like or who would you choose?

In no order -

Mavs (best defense ever? We were already #1 last season):
PG: Shane Larkin 75 (our previous 6th man who I wanted to start)
SG: Ellis 82
SF: LeBron 99
PF: Marshall (me) 92
C: Dwight 95
Key reserves: C Mozgov 74, C/PF Varejao 74 SG Ledo 73

Nuggets (that depth..):
PG: Ty Lawson 86
SG: Shumpert 84
SF: Wilson Chandler 81
PF: Faried 84
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key reserves: PF Amir Johnson 78, SG Stuckey 76, SG Jeremy Lamb 75, C O'Quinn 75, PG Joseph 74

Thunder: (would I ever get the ball? :3 but WOW)
PG: Darren Collison 80
SG: Westbrook 92
SF: Durant 95
PF: Ibaka 88
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key reserves: C Steven Adams 80, PF Dejuan Blair 77, SG MarShon Brooks 73

Warriors: (post up kickouts all game long!!)
PG: Curry 87
SG: Klay 80
SF: Iggy 86
PF: Lee 80
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key Reserves: C Bogut 80, SF Marion 74, PF Bargnani 73

Lakers (my team.. such appeal no matter the roster)
PG: Kendall Marshall 75
SG: Kobe 84
SF: Tobias Harris 80
PF: Jared Sullinger 77
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key reserves: C Koufos 78, PF Ed Davis 78, SF Xavier Henry 7

Bulls (they were dominant last season, won about 60 games, but kinda a log jam):
PG: Rose 92
SG: Kevin Martin 70 (or Butler)
SF: Butler 79 (Or Thad Young)
PF: Thad Young 80 (or Zach Randolph 79)
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key reserves: Zach Randolph?, Kevin Martin?, PF Taj Gibson 76, PG Chalmers 75

Bobcats (same situation as Mavs, but not as much appeal)
PG: Kemba 83
SG: Kidd-Gilchrist 81
SF: Melo 92
PF: Marshall 92 (me)
C: Big Al 88
Key reserves: C Seraphin 74, PF McRoberts 74

Clippers: (Lakers fan so some dislike here, but would be SO stacked. Although Jordan to the bench would be a waste of talent)
PG: CP3 98
SG: Avery Bradley 82
SF: Danny Granger 79
PF: Blake 90
C: Marshall 92 (me)
Key Reserves: C Deandre Jordan 85, PF Big Baby

Where should I take my talents too?

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.

The bold part about the HOF CPU never missing in MyCareer is not actually true. It CAN be true that the CPU hits everything of course so that's what might make my saying that it's not the case hard to believe.

Keep practicing and working on it because you definitely can reduce the HOF CPU's fg%.

No, you're wrong. There are definitely stretches where the cpu does not miss regardless of how well you pay defense. I've had hands in faces, people fading out of bounds, making shots behind the back board. It's ridiculous.

Stretches of time not missing is different than "never" missing. Sure, what you mention can happen.

It shouldn't happen tho. Ever. I should never pay $60 for a game that you simply cannot win at. That there's literally no way to counteract the programming in the game. I remember you saying you're an older guy, so you've seen how video games have progressed over the years. In action-rpg games the hardest bosses might take 30x to beat. You may get utterly frustrated and put the game down. You may eventually come back and beat it whether by sheer repetition, or by looking it up online. In fps games you may dominate the single player, but go online and get stomped. But through practice and repetition you can get better and eventually get that ******* that camped you 5 times in a row. Maybe you start being that guy yourself. In rts games, you can up the difficulty and make it so hard you die in 30 seconds and try to make a game out of just surviving. In other sports games the computer might pick you off 5 times in a row, but you start running the ball more and make more careful passes and tighten up on defense or hockey, I dunno much about it but I'd assume there's ways get better there too. The funny thing about this game is that it's not long stretches of like 5 minutes, it's a whole quarter. Sometimes it's the whole game. And it's not just on hall of fame either. It's how the game is built. The game relies way too heavily on the momentum system and when you're only controlling one player it's Damn near impossible to over come it. Maybe if our own user input wasnt so restricted and bogged down it might be easier. But there's literally times when the computer takes over my own player and makes the worst scenarios happen with no control of mine what so ever. When I'm going to the lane and see someone standing right under the basket 3 things happen if I try to pass him. The computer will go psychic and super speed reaction time to intercept it, I'll get the pass off but he takes so long to go up with the ball he gets swatted or misses entirely, or he'll bobble the ball and lose it if doesn't make it. A dump off pass is supposed to be easy buckets 90% of the time, not 20. If he does make it, then it's immediately followed by a foul on the other end, or a 3 in my face most of the time. And God forbid I miss or turn it over, it's guaranteed points on the other end. I'll literally chase him down, meet him at the rim, and not a signature skill on this earth will help me. Eraser, chase down artist, or lockdown defender, I'm hosed. But wait, if I do get the block? THE COMPUTER GETS THE REBOUND AND SCORES ANYWAYS! BEFORE MY PLAYER TOUCHES THE GROUND OR HAS A CHANCE TO REACT!

If you haven't played 60+ games in this mode, you have zero credibility in this thread. Seriously.

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

I have a very very very basketball friendly scenario for you.

I can't guard every player on the court for 24 seconds. Can't do it. Period. But, say I literally am there for every single place the computer is trying to go, they're passing the ball around and I'm sniffing everything. 3-2 seconds left and the ball is down low, I run down to get the block, kick out to my man drain it. So next time I stay home, 3-2 seconds I'm standing in front of him with the ball, my big man loses his guy baseline, score. The next time, I'm standing in front of him 3-2 steps into his shot, I'm pushing forward towards him trying to swat it into his face and my player MOVES OFF HIM drained in my face. Next time down, deny, deny, deny, playing the weak side, shot goes up go in for the board, clog the lane, the cpu pushes everyone out of the way, the pg gets the ball, goes up for the score or foul.

Come on coach, in real basketball, what do you do?

I have played that many games in that mode. As an experiment, recently I started another MyCareer file with a non upgraded MyPlayer rated 64 overall just to see what's possible and what's not if you don't upgrade and I'm well over 50 plus games in that file alone.

So you're a 64 rated pg starting for what team? Do you play 12 minute quarters hall of fame? Simulation, real player fg and ft percentage? What's your stat line? Team chemistry?

It's easier to show you than write it down. In this game I was experimenting with pick and rolls and haven't dug in to learn the Suns playbook yet (I was hoping to get to the Pacers because I already know that one) but on defense this is how you do it. Same thing can happen to me as you but more times than not this defensive strategy works well. Committing your player on defense to the ball is about spacing and timing. There was a part in this game where Duncan was hot and I had to figure out what to do. If you watch, you can see what I'm talking about.

Team chemistry is down because this follows being traded by the Suns to the Bucks and then back to the Suns which is crazy and then it also follows the side kick conversation which in my file came way after the all star break because of what I'm doing and I told him I didn't want to do it lol.

It's 12 min hof sim. I use user timing because I think that's harder but I can't shoot anyway and in this game I think I had 7 points.

I didn't watch all of the video, but it seems to me like you pick n roll too much, and you only look to pass when you do. There was alot of times in just the parts I watched where you could have initiated a layup animation really easily after using the pick but then you just pass. You can tell your focused on passing too much. You should practice how to use pace/explosions to the rim and practice passing out of shots. Also, use floaters to get those buckets over the big boys..

Also, I really suggest you at least run some plays for your shooters. Call some floppy plays. They're money against the CPU.

Keep in mind, this video was a display of how to play defense in mycareer not an example of the best way to play offense. As I mentioned, I was experimenting with pick and rolls in this game. My player is a pass first point guard and so that's why I look to pass. The other reason is that it's been said that you have to totally dominate in order to win and that's another reason I didn't look to score to determine if that's really true and it's not.

You can have the same results running plays once you master those which I haven't got to on the to do list with this squad yet.

Even then I would still look to pass and not shoot because that's the type of player I created.
