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

Time to take my beating from the Bulls after a 3 game win streak brought us to 7 wins

Wiggins just got an offensive board under the basket and put his shot off the BACK of the glass without a defender on him..

LaVine's new nickname is Swiffer.. D-Rose keeps breaking his ankles.. that spot on the court has to be the cleanest in the building

Subbed out down 6 with 1:30 left in the 1st.. sub back in 4 minutes gone in 2nd.. of course we're down double digits.. TWolves didn't score ONE bucket in my 5 minutes out.. I had 1 rebound the whole first quarter and it was offensive.. since the Bulls shot 71%

Down 62-52 at the half.. Bulls still shooting 63%.. no rebounds to be had.. all of 5 in the 1st half.. Butler's doing most of the damage for the Bulls.. 21 first half points

Cut the lead to 5 a couple times now.. can't get over THAT hump though

Down 89-74 after 3 quarters now.. as mentioned I had the game down to 5.. then the rest of the team did everything wrong and it was quickly 18 pts.

22 games into the second season and the Bulls crowd is ALREADY chanting MVP for Rose? 2K odds are he doesn't finish the season, let alone beat Durant for MVP

Lost 108-99 ...much closer than expected but not really close either since I couldn't get back after catching up to 5 twice.. and 7 in the last 3 minutes.. time of possession was 5 full minutes apart.. the Bulls shoot early and often obviously ..

The game shut me down in the 4th.. ended up shooting 7 of 19 for 23 pts.. 16 boards 9 assists.. 5 offensive boards.. 4 of those in the 4th but I missed EVERY put-back and was barely guarded after boarding.. I even had the rim between me and the defender to use on my shot and had them all miss... those same random 2K misses with a standing layup rating at 80.. I guess standing layups aren't what you shoot after an offensive rebound??

Team chemistry is now at 97...

Just jumped ahead of Kobe in the West all-star voting.. .. up to 6th now

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.

Defense is pretty much like how it is in real life, its all about effort. I meant that as sort of a base for when youre first starting out, as you arent going to be guarding the top Pgs in the league for quite awhile, so thats what I meant by focus on offense early on. It would be suicide if you didnt put anything into defense. I learned that on my old career first time playing Derrick Rose... he dropped 50 on me.

That was his career high.

Lol at some point I gave up in defense cause either way no matter how good I play it my team doesn't which ends up making pintless so now I have noghtly scoring contest with KD or whoever I'm playing. My highest one so far was KD nick young with 40 almost all on 3 from me trying to stop the pg from running into the paint for a way layup, to my 39

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!

It happens all the time.. the physics are terrible.. a guy running just STOPS .. not just alley-oop tries either.. so many times you'll see your teammates go around screens..the PG will throw to a spot.. and the guy will have stopped and gotten picked off by the guy who was originally screened.. not realistic at all.. PG's don't lead players usually on passes beyond the arc.. .. probably every couple of games I'll see a PG throw a lob into the stands where you can actually see the intended guy just stop when he's near someone else

No matter how good you play defense.. it seems the other team will have a different guy go off if you stop your guy, also.

The truth Lol. I was playing on my cousins account(he's a small forward) and completely shut Carmelo Anthony down. He only had 8 points at the end of the game. Now note, Stoudamire and J.R. were both out with injury, so really it was Carmelo with a bunch of scrubs, so who was going to step up?

Shane Larkin Dropped 44 points and we lost by 6.

I actually like Shane Larkin in real life and hope he finds his groove in the NBA, but come on.

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.

I've asked this 4 times in this thread already. Please, anyone?

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

I believe you can still get 99. I'm 98 on my 1st player and I've only got 3 columns maxed. I've still got about a columns worth of upgrades to go.

Thanks a lot man, that is seriously music to my ears. I could never get over the attribute caps in 2k14, and how 96 (without accessories) was the best I could get.

Also, since you say you're at a 98 with only 3 columns maxed out, I definitely upgraded my player poorly. I've got 3 maxed out too but I'm only at 90.

Nope can't make them fatter looking either.

I've got jumper, defense, and playmaker maxed and I'm working on inside scorer because I can get 10+ rebounds without any upgrades there, but I think you should put attribute upgrades however you play and you can still get a high 90 either way but I don't believe overall really matters after 86-92.

What's your team chemistry? If you just signed with them then you're going to have to get it up before they start really being reliable. If you really hate losing you might wanna lower the difficulty
