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

Does this cheese for unlocking upgrades work if I go play a game, then in-game select the option to sim the rest of the game? Because despite not getting any VC, the games does count towards your games played in milestones... Would be a faster and more efficient way than fouling out... I'll try it today and report results.

I still have upgrades available, but not much. I'm now 4 games away from my 1st playoffs (2nd season). Finally games that matter.

From what I've heard in game sim wont work, only the fouling out thing because it'll be like u played the whole game, unlike simming in the 1st quarter or so.

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

81 OVR right now through 65 career games .. don't know about others saying they're not getting the endorsements.. already did the State Farm, Sprint A, Gatorade, and shoes (Adidas.) I don't sim ANYTHING because I need the VC to raise attributes.

Some of us aren't as fortunate. Seems like for some of us, even with playing EVERY game, the State Farm A just doesn't unlock. I have just over a million fans, met Pharrell just once, and have no idea what I have to do to get Gatorade to "notice" me. I've made the all star team, am leading or at the top of most statistical categories, and have played all my games.

Took the second State Farm deal. In late December and no shoe deal even though I'm in front running for league MVP in my 2nd year. Guess I'll just keep playin.

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

82 OVR with my PG on the Cavs now in the beginning of December in my 2nd year. I'm loving the game now and I think it's because my teammates play really well. Lebron, Love, Irving, Waiters and Boozer all play well. Varejao plays pretty bad for some reason. He can't defend, rebound and he gets beat alot. He also misses alot of open looks.

I have a couple questions that I need help with please.

1. If I take the State Farm deal the 2nd time my agent offers it, does this exclude me from any future deals like the Gatorade one?

2. I can't seem to get the timing of my jump shot down. I've even turned off the shot meter but I'm almost always late in my release by just a smudge but when I'm contested it's enough to make me miss shots. I'm also using Tony Parker's jump shot.

What has helped you perfect your jump shot? Also, what jump shot do you use and what release do you use?

Any other tips on how I can perfect my release would be helpful. I've tried looking at my player's hands, head, feet, etc to try to watch his release but it doesn't help. Sometimes my timing is all over the place and it's frustrating.

1. I took the State Farm offer the 2nd time my agent offered it, and I got to choose between Sprite/Gatorade a few games later.

2. I use James Harden jump shot with quick release, I'm shooting 40+ percent on 3pts, just had the Around the world practice against Jennings and destroyed him by going around at one go, got perfect release 7/10.
And about how to time it.. I have no special gimicks, I just try to be as automatic as possible, I shot in the gym and just try to get a feel for how long I need to hold the button, so I don't even have to look at the meter as much. But when I do, I make sure I try to release a bit before the meter hits the line, otherwise I always miss it.

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

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.

I don't know man, you might be right, but there's something about the 90+'s in the game. It may all just be in my head, but I have one player at 86 and another at 90 and it's almost night and day. So I was thinking that a 98-99 (Like SheBron) would basically just dominate the floor, which is exactly what I'm looking for.


NOTE TO 2K: I'm not looking to create an NBA all star, I'm looking to create the greatest of all time. That means better than Jordan, better than SheBron, Kobe, Durant, and all those old school dudes who I'm sure wouldn't be nearly as good in today's game.

It's annoying that 2K doesn't want us to do that for some reason. Isn't that the whole idea of MyCareer from the outset?

State Farm A came up on my MJ Career but not my T-Mac.

Just got chewed out by coach for too many turnovers.

I just got the shoe deal, choose Nike, right after the christmas game 2nd year so it probably wont take long for you. Oh and finally got hustle points, one man fastbreak and transition finisher for my 82 overall PF. Hopefull with those last two I cant get some speed on the break, it's like the game slows you down on the break :S For some reason you can sprint back on D, but not on the break, really annoying at times.

That's what scares me. I am already into my second season with my second career since the first one didn't want to give me the endorsements no matter what I did. A this point I have no clue what to do. I'm past the point everyone who is getting their deals is getting them. So I feel like both my careers are glitched

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

Spurs in the Playoffs kept picking off my passes on the pick and roll. My guy would be wide open and they would step in front of the pass every time. Only 7 assists and 6 turnovers. Maybe I should be like Kobe and not try and pass as often.

[ReRo]

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

Just went to play a game and then selected "sim to end" and it unlocked an attribute upgrade, so you can cheese for it this way as well.

BTW the amount of times I'm fouled on my drives and don't gett a call is just crazy... Refs hate me. Also if my dunks wouldn't get blocked so often that would be great, it's not like I want my player to make some crazy windmill dunk while there are 2 defenders close, and the funniest thing is, it will ALWAYS be a block never a foul. NEVER.

The cpu often just teleports in front of passes, same with the blocking of alley-oop passes. I saw Faried teleporting to the middle of the paint with his waist above the rim to block an alley-oop pass.
But yes its really hard to throw a pass without it getting picked off. Cpu can throw passes through the paint but your teammates do nothing, you try the same and another turnover. It seems a lot safer when your teammate who is receiving the pass is horizontal/parallel with you instead of vertical/up the court.

Gatorade or sprite?
