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

I'm in my 3rd season, I summed a lot in the second season. I just recently got the 2nd meeting with Pharrell, I have almost 2 million fans. No matter how many assists I get, I still don't get the state farm deals. I'm so over this mode. Just give me some *** **** Adidas!! It's the only reason I'm still playing every single game now. I've played over 90 at this point, and it's really old. Not even fun.

Damn I got my second encounter with Pharrell in early December of my second season. Thinking this game mode isn't meant to be simmed.

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

Has anybody ever made the playoffs in the first season of mycareer. If so is it as cheesy for you as it was for me?

YES. Made the playoffs with The Nuggets in my first year. We were way out of the playoff picture originally, but we ended the season winning 11 out of our last 10 games, and clinched the 7th seed. Went up against The Thunder and got annihilated. They won in 5 games, I'm amazed we even got one win. KD and Westbrook were unstoppable.

If your team is in The Eastern conference maybe it's a little easier, since there's not as many powerhouse teams. Unless you get stuck with the cavs lol

Oh... after a game against the Thunder 2nd season, which we lost, i got Volume Shooter. The one badge i was trying to avoid. I took 26 shots, but I thought you had to take 30 to get Volume Shooter.

I have yet to beat the Thunder. Durant and Westbrook are unstoppable, which is kinda realistic I guess but still annoying at times.

I joined the raptors for my first season and we were 1 in the conference and 3rd in the power rankings. We swept the wizards in round 1

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

How do you guys play defense. Do yawl stick home all the time or play help moor often. Or a mixture of both. I tend to play like i do real in life. Which is physical d but i help off ball a lot.soon as i see a break down on my end by a team mate.

Should i just stand and take my man out game and let cpu do their thing. Will that help or is it good to play help defense. I want to get lock down defense but not sure if i will ever get it. I get A team mate rate plenty of good defense singular or team.

Averaging 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks. but not really shutting down my player tho.

I want chase down blocks and eraser. D anchor. In real life i prefer to play d and do hustle plays etc than score unless need to. So that is how i want to create my player.

The same thing happened to me last night in the Finals against the Cavs.

James Harden and Dwight Howard were both out with injuries, so I had to carry the Rockets' offense on my shoulders to win.

I ended up attempting 26 and 28 shots in back-to-back games, making very sure to stay below the magic "30 FGAs" mark that everyone has been talking about.

But unfortunately, I ended up getting the dreaded "volume shooter" badge after finishing those two games.

Is there any way to get rid of a badge once you have it? I really hate having to keep taking shots to keep my player from going cold. As a point guard, getting this badge is one of the worst things that can happen to you.

I can't find anything about a way to remove a badge, would be nice though. Hopefully when you upgrade it to gold it wont bother you too much.

I think we can safely say, that the storyline follows the amount of games you actually play, all those endorsements, cut scenes, etc, are directly tied to it. So if you simulate a lot of games, all those things get delayed or in some cases even skiped, judging by my experience and after reading a ton of comments in this thread.

This is literally the worst badge ever for a PG. With it maxed at gold i have to take a shot every 3rd possession or my heating up circle fades away. Trying to be a pass first PG since im on the rockets too and its just the worst.

You serious? Lol I played ALL of my games first season, which were 38 (34 regular season and 4 playoff games) and another 61 this season and I have yet to get Sprite/Gatorade or Sprint B. Somehow I bet those idiots at 2k forgot that some teams qualify earlier than the playoffs for the playoffs so I bet you I'm gonna get Sprint B just when the playoffs start and after I grinded out another 21 games which is just ridiculous. And somehow I bet this is linked to Gatorade as well and to the shoes. So the league MVP, All Star, Dunk Contest Winner, Best Man of the All Star Game, leader of the league in rebounds, blocks and assists for big men, 4 times in a row Player of the Month, 12 times player of the weak will get all his offers after he "hoisted" the Thunder into the playoffs even though they are still on a winning streak of 40+ games, have only lost 1 game the whole season and clinched a playoff spot in February already!

THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS!!! Hell I don't wanna grind out a 100 game plus just to get ****ing shoes and ****ing VC I should already have earned after going through this **** for 100 hours plus. It has nothing to do with anything. I had to manage 13 or 15 games with 5+ assists to get Statefarm B and almost went numb and now I have to wait for Sprint, meanwhile the Coach directives are so dumb every 2 games that I can't ever get over 75% approval before it drops massively again and that damn Co-coach smacks his damn lips again in "scrimmage". How the **** do I set screens for Westbrook and Durant??? They don't use screens unless they are in the plays! How the hell do I protect the paint, when Westbrook lets his opponent always blow by him leaving me to defend against two people? And how the hell is me scoring 15 in a quarter on layups and putbacks not taking smart shots and how the hell is diming another 5 assists not setting up my team mates if I get doubled? And why on earth don't I get a jump from A- to A+ when I grab 10 offensive rebounds in the time that frigging direction is given? Why on earth is there only one friggin coach who smacks his ****ing lips all the time and threatens to bench be even though our team is on a winning streak of 40? Why the hell do both available voices talk in slang that sounds like ghetto kids even though my player is from Germany? And why on earth is my highschool coach from the hood and black even though I'm white and from Germany?

Bottom line, I'm sick of this game!!! I want my ****ing endorsements, I want my ****ing shoes, I don't want to be forced to play another 100 games!!! I just hope to god that I will get a reply from 2k support soon... I'm just getting sick of it.

I'm a PF and I usually try to stick to my man and play physical so we dont get alley-ooped. On drives to the lane I try to help (like you when there is a break down) and get a block but when im late it's usually an easy offensive rebound and putback for the other team or a pocket pass to the big I was guarding and he scores an easy basket. Taking charges is something I really need to learn as they seem to be called this year and therefore could be effective.

It is tied to the number of games played, but it also seems that the endorsements are connected and go in some order. And don't forget, some guys also have some kind of bugs like yourself by the looks of it.

I completely understand your frustration, but unfortunately I can't do anything, neither can you, it's just the way the games is programmed, not the best way to make it but what can we do? I'm from Slovenia and also sound like some ghetto dude, so believe me I also hate this part, but I just go along with it, no point in getting angry when there is NOTHING we can do but hope that next year they improve and expand it to cover more possible stories. I also hate the coach satisfaction thing, its terrible, just now I got run PnR, I had possession 3 times, 2 of those I scored after coming of a pick, and one was a fastbreak layup, I get bumped from B+ to B-, just ridiculous. But what the hell can I do? I actually don't even follow the coach guideline anymore, it just destroys my offensive flow, screw him I don't care about the grade, I'm at 70% and I don't care where I end up.

Hope you get your shoe deal and the rest of the endorsements soon.

Yes this is REALLY a bad one, not just for a PG. You just cant stay hot/on fire anymore. I upgraded it immediately to gold, but like you say your heat circles fade away really fast. I used to be able to stay hot most of the game with microwave without shooting too much. Now that seems impossible. Its almost like you are getting punished for getting teammates involved while that is one of the most important things to do.

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

I also received my volume shooter in my last game.

I always take between 17-22 shots, but last game I went to 29, just because I wanted to hit the 50+10 milestone and I was close few minutes to go in a blowout win (why not sub ne out grrr). I'm actually a pass first PG, so this is terrible new, I always score in the flow of the offense, have no intentions to force things, hate such type of play. :/
