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.

What's a fast break? Even when the opponent misses, all 5 guys are back before you can even TRY and turn the ball around

HUGE QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE XBOX VERSION!

Ok, so last year I bought some VC when I first got the game. Then, I made a bunch of players (different heights, positions, etc). For each I made them online (with the bonus VC) and then took them offline (the bonus VC turned to Sp but it was the same amount). Even today I still have the initial VC I started with. Yes it's now offline but I could care less.

Question: Can you do this with 2k15? If I make a guy online (with bonus VC) and take him offline....will he have SP the same as what the online VC was....but my Online VC amount is the same still? I like starting with some VC/SP to start
My careers but no way will I buy some for each guy I play.

Didn't i try to tell you all this before the game dropped. The freelance is in there its just that your team will not use them, it would help the mode a lot

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

Subbing in for my 4th quarter.. NOW down 120-71 with still 9 minutes left in the game.. I still lead the team in scoring with all of 14 points in 15 minutes played..

Kevin Harlan just said "Minnesota's got the 3-point bug tonight" shooting 6 of 15.. he didn't mention that Houston's made 14 of 25 3's.. we're down OVER 50 now

Lost the game 138-93.. no more double-double streak when playing against Howard and Harden.. James grabbed 14.. I could only get 7.. first game over 20 pts but who cares when you're getting your butt handed to you before you even get on the floor?

Another game where starter's minutes are a joke.. Rubio played 19 minutes.. Martin played 21.. Pekovic played 32 and was the worst one on the floor .. Martin's minutes make more sense since I'm coming in as a SG but the starting PG playing less than half the game every game?

Is anybody worried about all generated players having the same characteristics? I'm unsure if I want to spend money on MyPlayer when I could have to reset...

I have to give you mad props for sticking with this....through the losing.

I started over 4 times, each with a different team before I decided to try the rockets because of losing.

I win with the rockets WAAAAY more consistently than I did with any other team. I play HOF 12 min qtrs, and am a pg.

Tried the wiz, hawks, bucks and now the rockets. I've formed a big three with Harden and Howard.

Teammate chemistry is HUGE to get your team to play decent, but I couldn't take the losing, so I rolled.

Has anyone's gear actually shown up after you equip it? I bought a headband and in the next game it wasn't there.

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

what am i doing wrong on defense? im a 6'9 SF my recovery time is so slow especially when my man cuts to the basket real quick or i have to pick up someone elses man. I can play man 2 man pretty good but when i have to move around is where the issue comes in to play.

im guessing its because my lateral quickness is only a 69 and defensive consistency is only a 66 right now?

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

So in 2k14, your team mates would just leave the CPU wide open to hit shots.

Now, in 2k15, your team mates will have both hands in the CPUs face... but they'll hit the contested (and occasionally double teamed) shot anyway.

I'm not entirely sure which one I prefer. On top of the above, the CPU (opponent) defense seems to have improved. The old "set screen and get the CPU to leave you open as they switch back to you" trick doesn't work anymore. Which, in a way, I'm actually happy with... except you now don't have a cheese move to counter the CPU cheese.

So I played my first 9 games of 2k15... decided to join Charlotte (since I was there in my last 2k14 career). In our first home game... I hear...

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBobcats ball...

That's just awful...

I have to stick with it and SEE if I can do anything as a starter to figure out wtf the games are so lopsided when I sub in.. After the gigantic loss to Houston I'm now in the starting lineup, even if it's just 25 minutes..

Funny .. I just now realized I have to go to social media for endorsement stuff AND interact with it to get "paid" for endorsements.

Team chemistry has DROPPED even farther now.. it's at 63% in the huge losing streak..

I'm playing all-star sim right now.

Chose "suck my kiss" for my intro song.. funny because players don't have individual intro songs in basketball.. it's not like a walkup song for a baseball batter.. would have chosen the Phil Collins standard if they gave the option in 2k14.. since we heard it all the time in that game

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

Is stamina REALLY locked at 80 for all of us? No increases show in attributes, it just says 80.. maybe some kind of bonus later cause we'll be dragging when playing starters minutes if REAL starter minutes every happen

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

So you can't use VC to add attributes to your player?

got nearly 7000 VC now because of my preorder, but it can only be used for accessories?

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

Need some minor help...


So last year I was able to change defensive sets as SF and now I can't? Or maybe I am pressing the wrong button..I thought it was either Right or Left on the d-pad that brings something totally different..I wasn't even a starter last year (NBA2K14) and was able to do it.

My teams defense is garbage,I need to have full court press and half court trap when there is 5 seconds left on the shot clock. I need to stop the damn shot clock cheese...Happens way too often and my AI teammates do nothing to stop it.

Okay so I still don't know how to change Defensive sets...Guys please...

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

Starting isn't going much better for TWolves.. vs Wizards.. though only down 51-39 at the half compared to 30 points off the bench.

Something that hasn't changed from 2k14.. Pekovic will NOT shoot in the last few seconds of the shot clock.. instead of throws it me and I don't have enough time to get a shot off.. They made him suck regardless but 2 of 9 shooting.. all jump back fadeaway shots.. that's NOT Pek's game at all

coach emphasis is for fast break after missed shots and turnovers.. I get down court.. Rubio STOPS at the arc and passes to Thadeus Young who stands there.. this has to be similar to ever OTHER team in 2k?
