    That is a complete immersion killer for me. Makes me not even want to play MyCareer anymore.

      It's really hard to enjoy this mode when my PG on the Rockets has a 71 overall and not only getting 38 minutes a game (more than Dwight Howard), but also I've put their starting PG on the bench who is a low 80's overall.

      This makes no sense to me.

      What rookie gets 35+ PPG along with 10-15 rebounds, 10+ assists and 2+ steals each and every game?

        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. .
        I'm starting to feel like 2K is forcing the huge shot attempt numbers on purpose.. I have been stopping between the 21-24 mark.. getting my points, shooting between 48-60% ..and losing games because of teammate %'s usually under 40% .. in the 2-6 Wolves start to my second season the TEAM has shot 50% or better ONCE.. shot 36-38% 4 times and mid 40's the other 3 times. Only one game did I NOT shoot 48% of better myself..and that was a 31 point loss to Houston that started this 4 game losing streak.

          2k has really focused hard on getting real life stats correct this year. In fact, it's so bad that it's probably part of the reason why teammate shooting is just awful. It's also part of the reason why you see complete wide open 3's taken by players like Korver are complete bricks.

            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 couldn't agree more here. I use play calling/play vision, manual pick and rolls, isolation plays. My offense flows. We have some bad games....but we lost 16 games in year 2. My best game is 40 points....but I average around 28 pts, 10 assists per game. Some of the issues with the other player around you shooting poorly are centered around how you are using them. Can't say enough how important it is to look at your teammates ratings and tendencies. If you put them in a position to succeed...they do.

              IF that is true.. Pekovic shot 10 3's in my rookie season, hitting 3.. he hasn't shot one EVER in his NBA career.. and every Wolves player shot 10-15% lower than their real life %'s

                Yes and now at the Cavs everyone acts like I'm the rookie again and didn't just lead the Rockets to a championship... same 1st season dialog as before.

                      So last night I was playing a game and it gave me an error message and ended the application right in the middle of the 4th quarter. That was the first time anything like that happened to me. Do I need to be worried that this will keep happening? Anybody know the cause?

                          I personally haven't..... but I have a good friend that I stay on the headset with every evening who is a PF. He plays for the Wizards..... has John Wall throwing him alley oops every game. (ha). He loves it..... makes a PF every year and is enjoying this year as well.

My player currently has a 77 rating but feels a lot higher. I picked the Magic as they seemed to be the best team to get me in the starting lineup ASAP. Only thing that sucks is my assist totals because my teammates suck and miss their shots when I dish them the ball. Currently have the worst record in the league. I see the Knicks are interested in me as I approach the end of the season.

                            A few complaints are how do I get other shoes besides the generic brand? Also no matter how many times I equip the tattoos I've bought they don't stay on. I've heard others say this is a problem as well.

                            Overall this is a very highly addictive game mode that I really enjoy. Just wish the face scan worked but I'm not gonna worry about it.
                            On my T-Mac SG career, I finally just got over 10 assists in a game. I'd hold on to the ball till just before the shot clock ran out to take advantage of the Shot clock cheese.

                              practice gym stuff is so annoying. definitely could do without it. randomly lose like 5 coach satisfaction every other time i do it.

                              got my shoe deal at end of december of 2nd season. averaging 35/19/12/3/3 on my SF on the wizards. record is 23-3.

                              cant beat seem to beat the cavs. kyrie went for like 40+ in both games just hitting fadeaway 3's and deep 2's at end of shot clock the entire game and they always shoot like 75% in the second half of games.

                                Just got my first error message today. I had saved it at the half (something I started doing with the last game.) The game loaded back fine, so I hope there is no problem. Lost 4 My Careers last year.
