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

Im so in love with my Bulls team right now i made a new mycareer as a SF after the Rondo trade i played all the games of my first season on the atlanta hawks except for the last 10 i simulated those and simulated the 1st round of the playoffs in which we took clevland to game 7 and lost. In total i simulated 14games of my first season all because i just wanted to play for the Bulls and didnt care about anything else.
During the offseason i signed a 2yr contract worth 8mil a year with the Clippers only reason i went here was because i didnt want Doc Rivers to become my HC and wanted him to stay in LA so i went to the clippers and immediately asked for a trade to the Bulls had to simulate 4 games before the trade happened. So in total i simulated 25 games in mycareer. I dont plan on simulating anymore and i play on superstar Simulation difficulty.
I was trades for Nikola Mirotic wish they would of kept him and gave Up Doug Mcdermott or Snell to get me but o well
First game with the Bulls was my best game ever on 2K15 against the pacers i had 25pts 21rbs 12asts 1stl in a 2OT win 111-105. I know these stats may not be all that to u guy that average those type of numbers on a daily basis but for me i try to play as reliastic as possible and not dominate the ball amd play thru the flow of the pffense. We are currently on a 8 game win streak. I am currentlt averagng 22ppg 11rpg 4apg 2spg 1bpg i really wanna cut down on all the rebounds i get so Gasol and Noah can have better stats so i have slowed down in that department.
Last game was against the Heat we won 98-95 barely in a game that we led in all the way until thw 4rh quarter in which we were down by 12 with 5mins left i was having a terrible game missing wide open fastbrek dunks easy dunks wide open 3s and couldnt stop jackong up shots hoping my cold spell would subside i ended up 5-21 fg but luckily my team bailed me out and came back thanks to Gasol and 2 three pointers by Butler man i love this team after they won tje Title my first year im hoping we can start a dynasty to rival that of Jordans cuz as we all know the Bulls win championships in 3peat fashon only. With me Butler rose noah and gasol i think it shall be possible.
O yeah my Guy is 6'6 SF 210lbs not really a score but can consistently give 20ppg easy his personality makes him better off as a 3rd option tho but an still thrive as the main guy A lockdown defender great at blocking shots and intercepting passes. A willing passer and with all the great scoring options the Bulls have tends to inflate his assist stats heavily. Not good enough ball handler to be consider a point forward but his vision is great. Has a problem knocking down FTs and shooting 3s but if left open he will make u regret it and has confidence for days so no problem taking any shot. In the end im thw type of player that can score 20ppg amd lock down the other teams top player me and Jimmy Butler are one and the same. Which is why Thibs continues to play us both 38+ minutes per game.
Anyway off to go whoop the nets this is my 4tj different myplayer i dont plan on making another until after te trade deadline passes on feburary so it shall be fun to see how far o get hopefully i can make it to a shoe deal

I didn't want to make a thread about this and it's about my player so I'll ask here. How do I cut hard to the rim after setting a pick? Do you do it with a tap of the right joystick toward the rim? It always feels like my dude is slow after setting a pick and trying to roll.

I made a center the other day and it seems like what you are saying is right

sometimes i can get him to cut hard and sometimes he won't....it does to seem involve either the right or left joystick (i can't remember which one at the moment though)

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

ok im pissed now. For the last 7 or so games i cant get above 40% from the field, and the fact that they count threes into your fg% isnt helping(i take around 4 a game). My rookie year on utah i was shooting 50% from the field 34% from deep. Well in the offseason i went to the knicks thinking that with more offensive weapons and and a weak east we could make it into playoffs. So going into the year i upgraded my shooting ability to where now all my stats in that area are in the mid 70's. Well i was shooting great for a while, but then the last several games ive struggled to do anything that involves scoring. i can barely break 40% from the field after starting out shooting 50% for the first month of the season. Now i wanted my fg% to be a little more realistic( cuz 21 ppg on about 51% in my sophomre year isnt realistic) now i can't hit the ocean from the beach. Doesn't matter if its spot ups, off the dribble, or whatever. I had a game where i shot 45%(9of20, and the game went to overtime which is why i took 20 shots) and i watched my release a little more closely that game, and just figured my release was off. Nope! the release on my shots has been the next best thing to perfect, and i still brick the wide open ones. this happened after i set the game to real fg% instead of user timing, i shot like crap so i turned it back after 2 games, now i still shoot like crap. Whats up with this game? anybody have this problem? sorry for the wall of text post, but i feel i needed to fully explain the situation. cuz its to the point where i dread playing the game now cuz i know unless its a perfect release im just gonna miss, and getting to the free throw line has helped, but blowing past my defender is almost impossible, whether i have a good defender on me or not. I cant even take advantage of miss matches on the perimeter, and i cant blow past guys on screens anymore, some animation keeps slowing me down everytime i try too. Btw im a 6'2 182lb pg

Oh btw the way, when i was in a slump, i kept getting cutscenes of teammates and my coach talking about my slump. i thought i was out of it 2 games ago after shooting well, but 2 games later, i guess im not. I havent seen any other cutscenes about my slump since tho. im gonna try upping my shooting ability, even tho i too nervous too because i dont wanna start shooting well and then go back to making 50+% of my shots. I hate losing, but im trying to be realistic too.

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

Sorry for the double post. i also want to give an update on my mycareer.

So im on the knicks, i thought we could make playoffs, but now i dont think its gonna happen, a month and a half into the season and were below 500 by 2 games. Are defense is absolute garbage, are offensive players are inconsistent and go cold in EVERY 4th quarter. Melo has saved our butts a few times late in games, but even hes usually gassed by then. I cant count how many times we had a double digit lead going into the 4th then blew because our poor late game shooting couldn't make up for our poor defense. Im clutch and even have the closer badge, but im not a good enough player to carry us for an entire quarter. I do have to be honest tho, alot of our leads have been blown late in games due to the cpu having legendary 4th quarter. i went back and looked at the box score of all the games we dropped after having a big lead, and one thing was present, the cpu had 4th quarters where they shot 50% or better, while we shot 40% or below. And this has been a trend in almost all of our games, which is frustrating to me. i will update later, but right now, we suck alot worse than what we should, given we actually have playoff talent. I thought i could come to this knicks team and be a number 2 guy to help melo out, this team sucks so bad that most of my stats have been empty. even tho im putting up 21ppg, 7.8 assists, and 5rbds, the only time my stats seem to mean anything is when i score clutch baskets. other then that they seem pretty empty. Oh im playing on pro sim

I just got called for a charge for making a pass while standing still. I don't even know what to think about that right now.

It's like getting called for a travel while dribbling.

One thing i suggest bro is stop shooting only take wide open shots or easy layups and dunks thats what i do whenever i go through those kind of slumps and try to pass out of open shots and get your teammates better looks if u take about 15 shots per game try to only take. 5-10 shots a game until u get out of the slump. The only thing i can suggest hope this helps bruh

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

How does "Forming a big three" event work? After 2 years I got tired of my GM failing to address the team need of a top tier big man and asked one to join me. He said "Yes" but the off-season has gone by and he was not signed nor is he being traded for ... Is there something else I need to do besides asking him on social media to join me?

This happens to me every now and then. All I get are charges called on me and no blocking fouls.

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

So here's a question that hopefully someone knows: What happens if you get both the volume shooter AND cool and collected badges? I'm just curious, because maybe volume shooter could be good with that combo. Shoot to get hot quickly, but if you stop shooting cool and collected will stop you from going cold.

I have both. I have never been cold on my player so your theory seems correct(for me)

I've never even been knocked down on a charge attempt.. instead the player driving goes around me for a bucket so I gave up trying.. maybe you have to double-tap and flop to get the call on a charge?
