WITH the increase from 82 OVR to 84 OVR.. or with my created shoes maybe?, I notice right away my SG's dunking tendency has greatly increased.. actually had 5 in a game where he would have just got up for a layup previously .. would have been 6 put I had one of those animations where you go up for a one handed dunk and throw it all the way across the court

Make 6-7 shots consecutively.

About 3-4 will get you 1 circle, 6-8 probably will get you another circle.

How do I mantain those 2 circles though? Surely it cant be to take 40+ shots a game

Not sure but my center usually always has 2 at all times might be consecutive shots since my fg% is 80 and I usually never miss layups and then I get a few blocks every game so I have them on defense too


The lack of correct spelling an overall bad grammar and punctuation are brought to you by my complete lack of sh**s to give

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

I'm in the same boat. I just started over, now doing my FOURTH career. First career I simmed 50% of my games. Second and third times I didn't sim at all. Got all the endorsements except Gatorade/Sprite and State Farm, so I obviously didn't get the shoe deal. At this point if I don't get it yet again, I'll be moving to NBA Live full time. I love 2k15, but playing a few hundred games, only to get a glitch where I can't achieve probably the most attractive (although you shouldn't have to wear generics to begin with) goal in the mode is depressing. Too much time of my life being wasted.

That's a shame to hear... I definitely wouldn't be dedicated enough for four careers. I've played a bit more since my post, and after the first playoff game I got the all star + playoffs and 4m fans endorsements so hopefully things are looking up. About to play KD in the finals, and it seems those games advance the storyline so I'm hoping I'll get it soon.

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

Quick question for those well advanced in their career about all the bull**** concerning big 3, free agency after third year etc...

Do you get to pick your new team BEFORE being asked by your GM to pick 2 players ?

For example, i'm in my second year right now, playing with the HEAT. My contract goes on next year for my third one. I'd like to play those two years with the Heat then go play for the pelicans AND add 2 players. Is that possible or will Pat Riley ask me for two players before i can leave... ?

When you sign your next contract you will them be asked be the GM. At least that's how it went for me

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

Thank you very much.
So basically i won't have to ask for a trade during my third season... I can play it out and during the summer, the same stuff that happened after year 1 is happening again ?

Anyway, cool.

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

Also if anyone knows if Anthony Davis resigns with the Pelicans in 2016-17 or not, i'd like to know. Thanks guys !

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

About to take on 'Da Bulls' .. Gasol's injured but I always have difficulty rebounding against Noah still.. while McDermott seems to go off against me each time I've played them

Had my first LONNNNG distance shot against me to end the 1st quarter.. D-Rose from the top of the back-court 3 point arc.. and Kevin Harlan says 'It could go' before it was even released.. pretty much a tell that it was going to be good.

The game's taking a crap on me in the 2nd half vs. the Bulls.. I couldn't throw a golf ball into the ocean from 2 feet away in the 2nd half.. layup after layup missed.. 2 dunks thrown away without a defender around.. and I can't grab a board to save my life.. got my 4th board late in the third off a missed free throw. Just missed a THIRD dunk attempt when Noah came over WAY late and hit me below the belt with his head.. this is stupid. Shooting 6 of 19 on stuff that always goes in any other game.

Somehow only down 72-70 with the above going on with the game kicking my butt.. can't even hit a B+ jumper from my 'hot spot' against the Bulls

I do understand that I'm not going to beat the Bulls very often, if ever.. just like OKC.. but when 2K makes it blatantly obvious.. they took away my ability to rebound in THIS game.. 4 times Kevin Harlan says I got a defensive board.. but Noah or Gibson got an offensive board and putback, replays of course have it going right through my hands into theirs when they're moving towards me.. at least give me little bit of a chance to pull off a win? I average 16 boards a game.. and 6 offensive boards.. I have 5 total with 4 minutes left in the game .. only 1 offensive..

It's TOO obvious when the game play completely changes that you're not going to have a shot in a game I can see if the other team dominated in some way but that's not even happening.. we're shooting 36% in the 2nd half.... losing 94-83.. and ONLY have 5 turnovers for the game. FIRST game of this second season where I didn't get my double-double on boards.. only got 7 boards

The strangest thing about this bogus game is I have an A+ grade for the game.. 9 of 24 shooting (4 missed dunks now, only one with Noah getting near be.. the head to the groin one) 5 boards 2 assists and a block.. how is that an A+?

I finally said screw it late in the 4th quarter and just shot ever time I touched the ball.. so I shot 10 of 31 (Noah blocked the last 3 attempts, too) since we were down by 15 .. I didn't even get to the free throw line on any layup attempts so I know the game is rigged in THAT part.. because I shoot 6-8.. or more.. every game

Should've been a foul/late challenge from Noah, but hey, ultra-realistic

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

Since I forced myself to finally get the volume shooter..upgraded to gold.. gotta play the next game and see what happens vs. the Nuggets

Pregame, Robin Lopez has me come out with him and do the shootaround.. yet.. he got HURT in the last game and Meyers Leonard is starting in his spot

Wish my Kinect worked so I could have recorded my incident with Noah as mentioned in the novel below.. I go up for a one handed dunk on the right side.. he doesn't jump at me.. he just hits me in the groin with his head.. and I throw the ball all the way across the court.. one of the 4 missed dunks vs. the Bulls in that game.

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

I just can't...with this mode, anymore. Here's my settings:

5'11", 150lbs PG, Superstar/Sim, 12m quarters

Here are my biggest gripes, some of which are carry-overs from last year:

1. My Pacers lose all the time. In my second season, we're probably 3-20 at this point. I've played EVERY game, and we just get railroaded like it's nothing. My PRF is usually around 32-35 points per game (I average 19 PPG), but my teammates are incapable of thinking like pro basketball players. Wasting shot clock, playing Ole D, it's shameful. I'm scared to go to HOF, and only wanted to try it because of Chris Smoove's videos. I'm probably going to go DOWN to All-Star and play 2 games. If they don't seem reasonable, I'm just going to stick to MyGM from now on.
2. I average 7 TO a game. As a PG, I HAVE to initiate the offense. Paul George should take the ball up sometimes, but only does about 2 times per game. If I don't initiate the proper play, my teammates will immediately pass the ball right back to me, no matter how open they are. This is especially frustrating when the coach asks for quick baskets, and me trying to get them the ball in scoring position also is ruined by the fact that I can't pass them the ball fast enough. As a PG I should be zipping the ball to them, but they catch it like they're in 1/2 gravity, taking two steps after the catch and everything. Bobbling perfectly good pocket passes. Not shooting wide-open 3's (I'm looking at YOU George Hill) when coming off of down screens. It's ridiculous. 7 Turnovers. SEVEN. Per game. I should be getting pulled to the bench after 3 consecutive. Nope. 40 mins a game, every game, no matter how many TO records I break.
3. Rebounding still sucks. No offensive rebounding from my team...but OH MY GOD the CPU gets OREBs like they're going out of style. Second chance points. Third chance points. Dare I say it???? FOURTH CHANCE POINTS. Friggin--get out of here, man. I have Roy Hibbert and David West and Luis Scola on my team. And we can't get rebounds. I average like 5 myself...more than PG-13. It's maddening. Sometimes I lay off of trying to rebound just to see what my bigs are going to do. Other times I get dirty in there and can't come up with a REB I KNOW I'm in position for. It's like magic.
4. What kind of rotations are these? And why do key players ALWAYS have to get hurt on every team you play for? Why is it always key players in your general position? Why must the game force you into a superstar? I want to be a good player on a great team. I'm satisfied with that. Stop trying to sell me the dream. Hell, technically it should take me 2 or 3 seasons just to get my bearings. I'd LOVE to be a late draft pick and rise from the ashes to become a Kyle Lowry-type guy.
5. What happened to Scrimmages? Didn't 2K14 have optional scrimmages that you could jump in? Or was that MyGM mode only? Either way, this needs to be in, as well as Shootaround, preferably ALWAYS before games, in those arenas. The practice gym is cool, but I want to see my teammates there passing me the ball and doing their own things (maybe it'll help you see who's 'on').

I just want to elaborate on the fact that I get so many turnovers. This happens for the stupidest reasons sometimes.

• Trying to cross your man up off the dribble AND not being able to have the wherewithal to go after the ball as it bounces between your g***amn legs, like "oh no! where did the ball go? did it disappear???"
• The Center on the other team being a pilfer machine on pick & rolls. Like...really, Bismack Biyombo? You saw that bullet coming?
• Your teammate not waiting for you to set your feet on a screen and just going the moment you press the button. Patience, grasshopper.
• It's darn near impossible to run a 3-on-2 break without turning the ball over or missing a bunny. Heck, a 3-on-1 break is dangerous. Again, I'm speaking as a Point Guard with passing above 80.
• Can't throw a lob yet. Not with Paul George running to the hoop and me standing at the 3-Point line with nobody between us. I will launch that baby into the 8th row, EVERY FRAGGING TIME. That is, if he doesn't get the tip of his fingers on it enough to keep it in bounds for the defense to grab and run back up the court for an easy 2.
