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

Has anybody actually managed to consistently win? On Superstar with simulation sliders the CPU is always getting so many second chance points and nailing shots in the clutch it's impossible to pull out victories.

I just single-handedly pulled my Knicks out of a 13 point deficit against the Rockets in the 4th quarter only to lose by 6 because Dwight Howard doesn't miss, and when he does he grabs it and puts it back in. Not to mention Carmelo Anthony couldn't make a jumpshot to save his life despite the CPU not missing any mid range pull ups. With how they've handled upgrades this year, my player isn't exactly ready to take on the entire offensive load yet so it's infuriating that your CPU teammates can't even make the easiest shots.

EDIT: Here are some stats to really show what I'm talking about and what I'm sure we're all experiencing.

I managed 36 points, 11 boards, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks on 50% from the field to keep my team in the game. Carmelo had 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, but he was 8-29 from the field. Embarrassing. Now for Mr. Dwight 'GOAT' Howard. 24 points, 24 rebounds, 10-16 from the field, and 6 offensive rebounds with a +/- of 33. Every shot he missed, he would grab the rebound. Ridiculous.

Every last second shot at the end of quarters and the game go in, no matter who shots it or no matter where it is shot at on the court.

Ignore the +/- stat in 2K .. it's broken.. I've seen games where the +/- for players was in the 100's

Haven't seen any half court shots etc.. did make one put-back myself that ended with 0.2 on the clock but that wasn't like a miracle shot

Did they take away the ability to give players undershirts and compression shorts? Or is that part of the accessory thing just not loading?

Edit: And is it just me or is it impossible to make your player LOOK bigger? You can edit their height and they get taller or shorter. But no matter how much you alter their weight, they still look skinny as a stick.

How do you edit height?

How do you edit height?

You can't once you start a save file. Just at the beginning when it lets you choose the guy's voice, position and all that.

I just noticed my guy is 6'8" 220lbs and is the exact same size as Andrew Wiggins.

So I exited the mode, went into create a player and made the weight go all the way up and down and nothing changed.

Going to make a SF, the whole goal is to get on the Bulls and get as many rings as possible. But I have a question. Are the attributes capped for each position, or is it just limited to 100 upgrades regardless of position?

Who was it that said James Harden sucks here? He's got 15 points in 9 minutes and we're down 33-17 when I sub into the game against the Rockets for the first time.. .. Howard has 11 and between them they're 10 of 13 shooting.. this game's lost before I even get in

Down 45-25 after the first quarter.. Dwight Howard completely shut down Pekovic.. I gave him 2 inside easy looks.. and of course they missed..

I sub out.. get a 'nice shooting' from the assistant coach.. finally got the coach satisfaction instruction.. at least something else to do while being blown out of EVERY game. Assuming that's the same as the dynamic goals of the past..

Harden now has 25 points on 9/11 shooting when I sub in down 66-40, Houston shooting 70% and 55% from 3's.

Down 75-49 at the half..and I choose the p.o'd halftime interview for the first time.. then coach in locker room says we can get back into the game? yeah right

I'm about to sub in for the third.. it's now 96-59.. Wolves outscored 21-10 in less than 7 minutes of the third..

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

I was wondering why the weight doesn't matter in this game? I have a center and made him as much weight as possible but he still is really skinny. I wanted the tallest and fastest center to take up as much space as possible but all I can have is a Dwight Howard look a like instead of a Shaq. Is there a way to make them actually gain weight and look big?

This shouldn't be a shock to you by now. Everyone on the other team is great. I had Rondo go perfect from 3 and hit a couple of post shots and some mid range jumpers. It really sucks.


---I do have an addendum to the "my team sucks" outrage. Check your team chemistry. Mine just got up last night (I forget if it was 80 or 90) and my guys are playing noticeably better.

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

For all you guys playing MyCareer I have a question. Is the AI your playing against running the freelance offense and plays as fluidly as it was being shown in Czar's videos? Seems like this would make playing against the computer much more fun than in past iterations

I don't think any of the single player stuff from this year is implemented into MyCareer, honestly. Basic mechanics, sure, but the shooting, defending and AI all seems really different from other modes. The AI just does whatever they want against my teammates. I see the same old back screen plays where the SF/SGs run through the crowd and pop out on top.

The primary form of offense for the CPU is waiting for my teammates to fall asleep or pulling up and shooting a shot with a hand in their face, lol.

100 every position, you upgrade however you want. So far from what i seen if you want stats in the 90's youll be sacrificing some attributes in other categories. you cant have 90 stats across every category.

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

The AI shot making ability is ruining the mode for me. Doc Rivers tell me to run the fast break but how can I do that when we can't get any rebounds because the opponents don't miss.

I guess I really need the whole stick up for a teammate thing to happen where I get ejected.. teammate chemistry hasn't been ABOVE 67% and don't know how to raise it other than playing.. 5+ assists per game in my limited 21 minutes per game.
