I love the b.s. animation 2K uses to stop my fast breaks.. a hip check every time.. no matter who I try and go by they jump out and throw a hip and I stop like I stepped in glue

I always get bored playing one position so I was thinking about making a point guard and was curious how you guys with PG allocate your attributes. Obviously rebounding is last on the list.

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

Having a pretty good game against Detroit.. or .. I was.. 15 pts 13 boards 6 assists and 1 turnover late in the third and we're up by 10.. .. the game decided it was time.. so 3 straight possessions I have turnovers.. on 2 on 1 I pass to the trailer.. there's a turnover.. I go to the hoop myself, lose the ball.. so.. a 10 pt lead with 1 minute left is now 3 with Barea fouling Augustine from behind after he already made a layup... to start the 4th.. nice job making sure we don't run away with it 2K

WE shot 51% in the first half.. .. not so much in the 3rd quarter.. all of 41% so the game could let Detroit catch up.

4th quarter I've missed 2 of 3 layups.. 2 offensive boards and miss a put back with very little animation from the defensive player... then.. pick and roll and my layup rolls off the front of the rim after I was WIDE OPEN with nobody even close.. game has me shooting 1 of 5 in the second half after 6 of 9 in the first, and it's all easy shots.

Somehow we're still up 79-75 with 8 minutes left

Is there any way to make your MyPlayer slim like Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry's player models? Being a slim guy myself, I would like to know how I can do this.

MyPlayer's legs are too thick, regardless of what weight and height I've tried. Maybe it's the shoulder width?

Depends on what kind of player you want to be.

For me, I wanted to be penetrating point like Drose and Chris Paul, so Im focusing on athleticism, inside scoring, and play making. Havent touched defense and rebounding, which are to me lesser important stats of a pg, though i am going to work on defense later in mycareer. Only got a 4 in jumpshot, which is the next thing im working on when im content with my main three.

Basically, youre the pg, your job is to keep the offense running, so focus on the offensive stats. Id said athleticism is the most important stat though, if your quick and can get into the lane, you open up so much for yourself and teammates.

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

Oh, a prime example of this just happened to me last night. We (Timberwolves) are up 10 against the Mavericks. I pass the ball up wiggins because he's wide open for a three while im still in the backcourt. Wiggins catches it, pump fakes, then passes it back to me.

While im still in the backcourt.

Turn over on me, B+ grade drops down to a B then to C+ because of bad transition offense.

I lost track in rookie season of how many times Wiggins threw it back to me before I could get across the line no bball IQ built into the players

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

Noticed a change lately.. at least when we're ahead late (hasn't happened often so easy to notice).. my SG isn't the inbound passer anymore.. wonder if I will be when we're trying to catch up late.. that would sort of prove they don't want you to win if my SG is forced to throw it in when we're trying to make a comeback in the final 2 minutes. It never made sense that a SG would throw it in after a made basket anyway, but weird that it stopped all of a sudden.

This stupid game, I guess the forced turnovers are scripted.. got a locker room talk with Doc Rivers about my 5 turnovers.. in a huge game.. 24 pts 20 boards 8 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals (without hitting X either, just being in position) ..

2nd meeting with Jackson Ellis.. and I don't play his game.. Instead talk back to him and put on a show... telling him there are other companies.. agent tells me how big a mistake it is

Funny "I'm not kneeling, not to Jackson Ellis" .. easy to get the idea what they're TRYING to say by "kneeling"

I'm going the Adidas route, 3k VC to start the endorsement

Team Chemistry is now 95% for Wolves.. coach satisfaction 48%

Still stuck down at 7th in all star voting for the West..thanks to Curry, Paul, Westrbook, Harden, Lillard, and of course Kobe.

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

Gave MyPark another chance after I managed to bump up my athlete to level 20 and at 85 overall, but I give up. It's unplayable. I always get teamed up with some chumps alergic to passing, who don't understand to defend THEIR guy and just jack up threes all day long, even when nobody is in the post to try and rebound. And to top it off, there are a bunch of 90+ overall maniacs with cowboy hat fetish who obviously maxed out all attributes day 1 by buying VC and just dunk over you all day. Part I like most is how I know exactly when an alley-op is upcoming and even if I'm positioned perfectly in front of the lob pass receiver I CAN NOT DO A DAMN THING (if only I could pass like that in myCareer instead of having my passes easily intercepted all to often because they are thrown so low). Too bad there aren't different parks for us myCareer players and those MyPark aliens.

Last time i played MyPark, i gave up our 10 games winning streak, cuz my controller died in the middle of the game lol for no reason. My controller just randomly shot everything and kept doing that grabbing animation... Tried controller on FIFA, still same stuff. So now im inactive till i get new controller lmfao.

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

Trying some different animations to see if I can figure out why my SG (6'5) misses wide open uncontested stuff at the rim.. switched to the big man animation .. for once game anyway against Utah.

Just watched lob mobs video about microwave, think i will go switch rookie / Casual and try to get microwave + limitless range and corner specialist with keyboard.

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

Just had my best game so far as a pro. Nothing special, dropped 20/6/6 and no turnovers, but what really made it special was how great we played as a team overall. 7 Players including myself finished with double digits points and we bested the Hornets 108-88. Only player who played bad was of course Wiggins but honestly I cant even be mad about it.

We even had a good practice, I mean I NEVER had a good practice before. The 2k gods are smiling upon us. YOU MUST STRIKE NOW

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

Up 51-35 over Utah at the half.. maybe the 95 chemistry is THAT big a difference over the 92 chemistry would be 3 wins in a row.. we didn't do that since my first 10-day contract.. then went on to lose 20+ in a row

Still feels like the game tries to even it up a bit by giving ME turnovers.. 2 of them in the first half.. BOTH of them passing to Dieng on the block.. once again my SG throws the pass into the LEGS of the guy guarding me.. wtf.. I'm passing to a 7-footer.. you don't throw it low or he'll lose it going to GET it.. so maybe I'm missing something.. even with icon passing.. is there a pass modifier besides the alley ooop so I can feed a big man posting on the block?

I always get bored playing one position so I was thinking about making a point guard and was curious how you guys with PG allocate your attributes. Obviously rebounding is last on the list.

I'm currently an Athletic PG that focuses on both setting up my teammates for good wide open looks with the occassional ankle-breaking "yes your 7'0 Center just got owned" drive to the rim.

Almost full in Athleticism, about half on Inside Scoring, almost half on Jump Shot, and about 5 points on Defense which is my next thing. My opinion is the PG position is the hardest and most rewarding to play because there are so many amazing point guards out there that not only contest you but test your perimeter defense skills.

Centers are by far the easiest position to play in this mode. I gave up my Center during his 2nd year because it was just too easy. Tons of rebounds, lock down interior D, and tons of inside shots from the rebounds. It pads the stats like crazy. Hated it.

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

I just sat .. up 63-48 in the third.. 2K brought Utah back.. and it's 69-63 now.. should be an interesting finish though I didn't WANT an interesting finish

Umm.. Pekovic just threw the ball off the back of Thaddeus Young.. who ran interference on the inbound to LaVine.. really? Wish it was easier than having to hold a webcam by the TV to show this crap or I would.. (Kinect hasn't worked since 2nd week of HAVING the 'ONE' not that I play games I would need it usually.)

Beat Utah 97-89.. the game really tried after having a 20 point lead at one point in the 2nd quarter. Wiggins had his second 20 point game of the season with 24.. 10 of 16 shooting and 3 of 5 outside .. first time he's hit 3 3's in a game in the career.

Dante Exum scene after the game and I completely tear him down.. why? It's not like Ellis last year where Ellis came in as the instigator.

This 3 game winning streak goes away next game.. playing the Bulls next..
