Trying to unlock the remaing 7 upgrades and this fouling out for seven games straight is annoying. Wished I could had just put the game on 1 min time.

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

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.

I do want him to be athletic and a good enough passer to distribute the ball when they concentrate on me. So I also want to be a scoring threat but I can't see how you can guard these PG without some defense.

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.

As a aggressive pass first PG player, ill get my share of my own bad turnovers usually about 1-2 per game minimum and thats ok, im fine with that, i tried to force a bad pass and i paid the price, but my player is actually in reality averaging 4.3 TO/gm right now cuz of my 1-2 PLUS the BS ones the game forces on me.

Lately it seems im required to get at least 5 in a game and if by some fluke i get to the 4th quarter and i still have only 1 or maybe even 0 turnovers, the 2k logic kicks in and im lucky to get off 4 plays to start the 4th without 3 of them ending up in a turnover no matter what i do just so the game can make sure i hit the "required" 5 that they want me to have.

you have the infamous, pass to a guy streaking down the side of the court with 1 guy between, u have about 80 degrees of openness to make said pass but instead ur player just simply heaves it right into the defender who isnt even anywhere in the line of sight to the intended receiver.

or the one where ur guy just chests it right into ur defenders foot instead of trying to pass around him or over him for the easy pass.

Jumping up to grab a rebound, it goes off tip of my fingers and goes out of bounds and yup, its a turnover on me(umm ya ok whatever!!)

Doing an outlet pass to a guy running down the side of the court and the only defender back is in the middle of the court and the very instant u go to make the pass, ur player then cuts right into the middle behind the defender and the ball ends up going down middle of court right into the defenders hands instead of passing to the side ur guy was on to begin with

Then we got my alltime favorite, watching my 95 pass rating get put to good use by being near the top of perimeter on one side and try to pass to a teammate 6 feet away from me also at the top of the perimeter just to watch the ball sail 20 feet over his head into the upper decks of the stands, oh yes....Good Times!!!!

You will ultimately, long term, want to max out everything but rebounding. Put 0 on rebounding if you are playing PG. You have the ability to max out everything else. I get 2-3 rebounds again and have 1 bar on rebounding.....which was put there by accident.

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

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?

Yep I know exactly how you feel. Same things happen to my PG. Nowadays I'm extremely careful with my passes, but somehow the CPU still makes me get 1-2 a game. LOL.

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?

LT + pass button does bounce pass and LT + Y does Lob pass

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

Im in the same boat as you man, I have played soooo many games and nothing......I'm number one in the MVP race with 6 games left and have played the whole second season lolol Come on 2K.....

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

Someone please help. I'm in my 4th year (MVP, 2 x Champion/Finals MVP) and can't get a shoe sponsorship. I've had Jackson Ellis talk to me once and say I needed to impress them. This was over 2 seasons ago. I have every other sponsorship outside of any shoe deal.

What do I need to do. Getting very frustrating playing every game and getting nothing in return for it.

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

Passed the ball right through me. That hurt....

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

Do you know how you got on court coach I'm a sg and i got floor general but can't get on court coach.

My playmaker is maxed and after the game I immediately checked my assist number and I had 1522 for my career. But tbh I have no idea how I got it.

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

Lol same, im only averaging 12.4 ppg, 5.3 asst, and 2.0 rebs per game as a sixth man. Im a penetrating playmaking point with great athleticism so im always driving. Currently shooting 44% form the field and 0% from three Lol. I've only taken 3 the whole season, missed all of them lmao im only a 4 in jump shooter. Like I said earlier, im making a Derrick Rose like player, or a young Chris Paul since were both the same height.

Im also not planing on going over 25 shots a game for awhile. This time around, I have no plans of getting volume shooter.

Lol I went to the jazz to play with exum( only dependable player on the team who didn't make me contemplate smashing my Xbox) and at around 67 ovr I was starting and averaging 25 Pts 8 reb 1 block .8 steals and 6 turnover which u find pretty acceptable since exum was coming off the bech making me the main ball handler with a 90 percent usage rate

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

Hate 2k force you to play that useless practice scrimmage, that happens like every 6 games to add on to this pointless story line and cut scenes.

[DaPope13]

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

Why if I take 30 shots in 1 single game in my career do I get volume shooter? But if I get one contact dunk I'm not a posterizer or if I block 5+ shots in 3 of my last 4 games I can't get eraser? I'm a center I don't want volume shooter I was only going for the 50 point game and ended with 31 shots shooting 63%

Come on 2k

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

Anyone have the problem where PGs throw oops to no one in particular with 22 seconds left on the shot clock. Chris paul does this in the clutch all the time its so unrealistic!
