NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

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

I can tell you how it happened with me....but it didn't really follow any kind of script I've seen with the GM.



After my rookie season.... I signed a 2 year deal with the Pelicans. We won the NBA championship in year 2 of my career....year 1 of this deal. At the beginning of my 3rd season..... I tweeted a request to Dwight Howard to form a Big 3. He responded and said we would be unstoppable....that it sounded good. I then checked my team interest screen...and Minnesota (Howard signed with them in offseason) was number 1 on interest. I requested a trade to the Timberwolves and was traded to them.



So I'm in the final year of my contract....and I too wonder if it's been confirmed that your GM will ask you at some point in time who you want to play with. I'm most likely going to resign with the Timberwolves....as I like playing with Howard and Wiggins..... but I wonder. Has anyone here actually had the GM ask you about who you want to play with??

I remember someone saying something about a big three they formed from asking guys on Twitter I believe earlier on in the thread, but I have no clue how far back that was.

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

I like this post. I play PG as well..... and George Hill is also one of my favorite matchups. I had a game against them yesterday where I had 5 steals on him. George was a beast though..... we lost to them ..... behind Paul George's 28 pts.

The player that I absolutely hate to see in front of me is Lillard. He must live for his match up against me because he absolutely brings it. He's so difficult to guard because of all he does..... he can drive to the basket....shoot the jumper or 3..... and he does an awesome job with step back's, fades, passing, and improvising when he does drive to the hole. Can never predict exactly what he's going to do.

Haven't played Lillard yet, this season he was out injured both games I played Blazers, so I was up against Steve Blake and loved it haha, I torched him. I'll get to see him next season hopefully.

I've now made it into the conference semis, who I played in the 1st round? The beloved Pacers and the mighty George Hill, we advanced 4-1. The one game we lost George dropped 38. But there's just so much one man can do. I really like what my GM has done in January making those 3 trades, Martin is superb from deep, LaVine is very fun to play with, and to have Gortat and Marion coming off the bench for Monroe and Drummond is a huge bonus. Also Jennings if you deny him the ball is decent next to me, because if I pass him with just a little bit of room...he'll shoot it. But pass him the ball too soon, you'll have to rape the pass button to get it back, he even stops called plays sometime haha, what a ballhog. After this season Jennings, Marions and Reggie Evans (hate him) contracts expire, can't wait to see who we bring in, desperately need a starting caliber SF. I'm now 1-0 up agains Charlotte, who knocked out Cavs in round 1, damn. Drummond shut down Jefferson, only Stephenson was causing some problems.

I just hit my first 3 of the season, so now im shooting 1/5 from three point land this year.

Besides that, does anyone know if playmaking actually affects if the person you pass the ball to makes the shot? Currently level 6, but im definitely going to bump it up if it does.

LOL @ "Rape the pass button". My first 2 seasons I was on the Pelicans.... Tyreke Evans is the same way. If he gets the inbound on transition or if you pass too early..... My man thinks he's in a dribbling exhibition.....then he'll run into the center of the lane and stop.....and finally throw back to you after intercourse with the button. I played with the Pacers on last year's game...and loved playing with Paul George. David West....at least for me....was fun too..... very underrated player.

Right now....I'm loving life with the Timberwolves. It's me.... Kenny Riley, Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennet/Thadeus Yound, and Dwight Howard. Coming off the bench we also have Zach Levine who plays both SG and PG, and have C. Deng backing up Howard. My player, Wiggins, and Howard are pretty lethal. I had to learn how to play with Wiggins..... but he's awesome now. You have to use the playbook and try to get him in cutting and mid range situations. He can occasionally drain the 3's....but inconsistent. Will most definitely resign at end of contract which is the season I'm in.... as Howard has 3 years left on his deal and there is a team option on Wiggins for next season.

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

Started my career in Orlando, signed with Houston, traded to Sacramento. Got my own Adidas shoe with about 10 games left in the second season averaging 20.6 MPG, 16.7 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 6.8 APG, 2.3 SPG, 1.4 BPG, .435%, .322 3PT%, .746 FT%. Have 29 badges, Cousins is out for the year, ever since he's been out I've been carrying the team as best I could. Hit a couple of game-winners and a couple of game-tying shots to force OT.

Nope it doesn't. Mine is maxed out, and nothing has changed since I started my career.

My team has a horrible record, and 100% chemistry. Only a couple of my teammates seem to be cool with me when I contact them on social media(I contacted them all 2 twice). No big deal I was just pointing it out.

Anyone in here know how to get ACROBAT or SPIN LAYUP badges

For acrobat you just have to change your shot when going up for a layup consistently for a series of games. Its not difficult to gain but be prepared for some horrible shooting percentages...

Are you confirming you've received it. Cuz loads of people have said changing out of shot in mid air hasn't produced acrobat for them. Do you have it? And shld I switch out of layups rather than dunks? Also is your driving layup maxed?

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

@taterskin

Haha love it when the game creates such an unique looking player like Kenny Riley in your save. You got a good thing going in Minnesota, sounds like a fun team. I'll also stay with the same franchise, my contract is up after the season with only the playoffs left to play. I took a risk going to Mo-Town but the GM impresed me so far so I'm staying. Plus I want to create a duo with Drummond like you have one with Howard, but I do envy you Wiggins at SF. Or who knows, maybe we draft an 80 overall player with the 24th pick, like OKC did with their #30 after the 1st season when they got an 80 overall SG, who now posted 14+4+4 in his rookie year, lucky bunch.<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>

Is it better to max out athlete first, at the beginning of your career, or is it better to max out scoring and or other attributes first?

For me it's athlete every position.
