Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm in my 3rd season....playing with Pelicans.... and I have not seen the option come up to do this. I've played every game....0 sims.

However.... at the beginning of my 3rd season.... Dwight Howard now plays for the T-Wolves. I sent him a tweet about forming a big 3. He tweeted back to me that it sounded great that we would be unstoppable together..... The T wolves are 2nd on my teams interest list at 96% so I've requested a trade. Went to a "no turning back" cut scene with GM so think it's only a matter of time until I'm sent to the T wolves. I just hope they don't trade Wiggins in whatever deal is made..... Loving the though of my PG, Wiggins, and Howard.

Funny, when I asked Howard if he wanted to form a big 3 with me he told me to get out of his face and quit bothering him. I felt completely rejected.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Ok I won the championship with Huston my 2nd year. When you have to choose three teams in the off season suddenly Harden comes in and acts like we didn't just play a season together, like I played on another team. Then he comes again (different cloth) and asks why I want to leave their team. This is completely ********, I think I'm done with My Career... I can only take so much stupidity...

Haha that is amazing.

Haha that is amazing.

On a different note: I just got Posterizer as a 6'3 PG. And now I'm a Cavalier! No shoe endorsement though. Highest scoring guy in the Playoffs and still generic shoes. What gives?!

I've seen youtube videos where that happened. (ha). I waited till I won the championship and MVP.... then asked. May have something to do with it.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Just finished a close 1 in Golden State. Game tied up with about 10 seconds remaining. I'm @ the top of the key & I penetrate then get double-teamed. I hit LaVine on the left wing. He shoots the 3 & nails it. Timberwolves when by 3 in Golden State. Team chemistry is @ 98. Superstar difficulty.

SO far we're only at 77% chemistry through the 2-6 start.. I can only hope that improves quickly or we won't even get to the 16 wins from my ROOKIE season

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm finally starting to enjoy this. I'm still in my rookie season with the Hornets, 15 games left, and I just had a generally frustration-free game against the Kings. I tend to have my best games against the Kings for some reason, but this game I had 35 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block as a PG. Cousins and me were trash-talking before the game, so it was cool to see both of us go off, as he had something crazy like 35 points and 26 rebounds.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Crazy game vs OKC right now.. besides trash talking Durant in pre-game..

OKC started out making 10 straight buckets.. they had a 17 point lead in the FIRST quarter.. I go to the bench.. come back in and it's only an 8 point game then.. my teammates SUCK when I'm on the floor again.. I'm only the SG but we can't get an assist for anything..

I ended up with the ball most of the time down court, LaVine for whatever reason went away from the inbound pass.. so I ran the plays to wide open guys who missed jumper after jumper.. team has 4 assists at the half but we're only down 48-46.. of course I had to TRY and match Durant offense for offense to get it to THIS point... 9 of 15 shooting 9 boards (4 offensive) .. but ZERO assists.. Corey Brewer got TWO assists in 4 minutes I was on the bench, LaVine got 1... and Dieng got one on a pick and roll with me.. yup.. he was the passer from the top of the arc.. same b.s. with Pekovic most games.. center sets a screen.. LaVine (or Rubio in rookie year) passes to them at the top and they stand there looking around so I have to kill the play and go take the ball from them most times

The game itself is so bad that other than my 9 buckets.. Barea and Wiggins each have TWO made shots.. nobody else has more than 1, and there are 3 guys who each have 1 made shot the first half.

I really don't want to have to put up 15 shots in the second half also.. I don't really WANT volume shooter.. nor do I want to TAKE that many shots regardless..

Game still doesn't take care of timeouts.. 6 seconds left a rebound and timeout to get me back in the game.. now we have 1 left for the 4th quarter.. up 73-69 .. I managed to get 2 assists in the third quarter so I lead the team in assists for the game (with those 2)..

If OKC ends up winning this.. Durant will have to go for 50.. Lamb's got 10.. with 2 3's from WAY behind the line.. can't really call it a heat check when he has only made 4 of 7 shots from anywhere on the court.. just can't guard him THAT far out

Forced b.s. turnovers in the 4th quarter are just stupid.. twice LaVine has thrown the ball to Bennett.. out of a half court set.. with Bennett running the OTHER direction and over the half court line for a turnover.. then.. I have LaVine open to pass to.. and the animation slows my pass down and I hit a guy in the back with the ball.. really? I guess 2K needed to find a way to force turnovers to change the flow of games?

Down 81-80 with 4 minutes left.. for people who say their guy never gets subbed out.. I started the 4th and just say 6 minutes OF the 4th.. Wolves shooting a pathetic 36% again.. only reason we're IN the game is 19/21 free throws.. 15 MORE than OKC has made. OKC completely dominating on fast break points.. even without Rubio the Wolves team won't get out and run.. even with Doc begging them to

Lost the game 98-89 (of course) pathetic scripted crap that forces my SG to throw the ball in late in close games so I can't be down court to run the offense is getting really old.. that's the WORST thing they've done to the game is making my SG throw it in when we have a shot at a win..

My SG couldn't make a shot in the 4th quarter.. A-'s missing in the clutch.. and actually I didn't make a SINGLE shot in the second half (0-7 in the second half).. passed for 4 assists in the third, then the team went 2K on me in the 4th. Martin 1 of 8, Wiggings 3 of 12, Pekovic 4 of 11, Young 2 of 7 Dieng 0 of 4 for the game.

For whatever reason, LaVine took over in the second half.. I really didn't barely touch the ball in the 4th.. he scored 18 second half points

Well i just played OKC for the first time on my 2nd season just like you, i'm a 6' 8" SF on the bulls, I came out and LIT up Durant, 8-10 shooting 21 points in the first quarter. He did his fair share of scoring on me seeing as i play pretty bad defense. We had an 18 point lead pretty much all game and kept our foot on the pedal. Finished with 35 points and 8 boards. First time i've ever blown anyone out in MC especially an elite team like OKC.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

On a side note.. I did have the bug in the final minutes of the loss against the Wizards where the teammates in warmups were still on the court after a timeout

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I had a blast playing the finals in my 2nd season. Was up 3-0 on Lebron and Cleveland.... they came all the way back to tie the series at 3-3 and we won game 7 by 2 points after Lebron missed a jumpshot to tie the game. I screamed at the tv through the whole series. Was really intense.... lol.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Just wanted to put this out there for anyone that plays PG. If you are not running plays.... you're absolutely missing out on some fun. There are some MONEY plays in Doc Rivers playbook. I have 3 or 4 situational go to plays that have been the difference in some very close games. If anyone is interested in any of these.... I can post when I get home.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

interesting cause i did the same with jabari parker and he said he was interested in joining up. so i guess its set up for you to go to the other team rather than the other players come to you.

I was tempted to let it play out to see if my team would try to trade for Howard. Could you imagine your player, The Brow, and Howard? (ha). The only reason I didn't is he had just signed a 4 year deal with the TWolves in the offseason so had doubts that it would happen. I'm in the final year of my contract so probably should have..... but love Howard's 98 rating on alley oops and would really like to play with Wiggins too.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

As far as I can tell shooter fatigue works like this

Shot attempts:

1-19 Nomal

20-24 Danger: A shots go to C shots. You'd better be wide open. Also 3s are probably a bad idea. Dunking is also not recommended unless you're hot, or there's a little guy down low.

25-29 Don't take 3s at all. Even 2s are an adventure. Don't shoot off the dribble, or take any "iffy" shots. Shoot like you did when you got your first 10 day contract.

30+ give it up. Stop shooting, don't even try. If you're lucky enough to get a fast break then maybe take that, but that's it. This includes put backs on Orebounds. Just dribble it out and pass the ball around, your guy is useless.

At this point in my career I've taken to watching my shot attempts more than anything. This last game against the Cavs I just knew I was going to lose because I think I put up like 21 shots before the half. Sounds like a lot, but I remember I was shooting like 70+%. After the half I didn't even try to continue the streak. I believe I ended the game with 29 shots, but I know we did win. I accepted that I'd be useless shooting the ball and did other things on offense. At this point it's the only thing you all can do.

Yep, I can pretty much confirm that. Another reason why I play 8 minute quarters. I manage to do ~25-30 shots per game which would be right on the limit. Less frustration and my controller stays intact lol
What I do now is check how my team is doing first. If they hit the basket I keep feeding them until they no longer score and then I take over. (I'm a PG)

I've yet to experience this. I think the most shots I've ever taken was 25 or 26, and I play on 12 minute quarters. Are you guys trying to score 60 every game or what?

I use playvision and auto playcalling and just run the offense, and I get plenty of shots. In real life the top scorers of the last 5 years have typically averaged between 18 and 21 shots a game, I don't understand how you're consistently taking upwards of 30.

In 2013-2014 there were only 25 games total where a player took 30 or more shots. Rudy Gay had the most with 37, a game where he must have been feeling shot fatigue pretty heavy because he only had 29 points on 37 shots lol.

LeBron scored 61 points on 33 shots, the only game last season he took 30 or more. KD did it the most with 6 games over 30 attempts, and he averaged 45.6 points in those games.

Other than KD, only Melo (3 times), Kyrie (3 times), Big Al (2 times) and LaMarcus (2 times) took 30 shots in a game more than once. The guy with the biggest chucker reputation in the league, Westbrook, surprisingly didn't take 30 shots a single time.


So I guess what I'm saying is, maybe you guys shoot too damn much lol. The other thing is maybe you shouldn't be playing on HOF, there is a ton of evidence that suggests HOF is a garbage difficulty level because it nerfs your team's AI to the point where you're forced to take that many shots, I'm guessing shot fatigue is not as prevalent on Superstar or All-Star. I'm averaging 21/12/8/2/1 on 55% shooting and my Sixers are still like 4-8 to start the year, so it's not like it's easy to just kill the CPU on a lower difficulty, it depends on your team and it depends on the way you play the game.

I'll post when I get home from work. They are mainly pick and roll plays and are a blast.
