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

This is ridiculous- some 80% of the points the opp. AI scores are from close range pull up/fadeaway jumpers from around 10ft. They'll even stop and shoot from 10 on a fast break if there's a defender in front of them. Also love those moments when I get a clean contest or a block on a layup only to have one of my bigs come flying from the side and foul the attacker...

How long does it take in your first season before you can ask for a trade? Does % interest for teams matter and how much does it affect the chance for them to take you? Are all teams horrible once you join them? I'm playing for the Hawks on Pro/default and I'm bored to death only ~15 games into the season.

You can't ask for a trade in your first season. Once you get a guaranteed contract its already past the trading deadline. You need to wait till free agency. Also, try playing on simulation. It makes the shooting percentages much more realistic.

Center 7'0 78 OVR Athletic Inside Scorer 81 is the magic number for inside shots to start going in. You don't make everything, but you stop missing those easy bunnies that roll off of the rim.

ive noticed once your stats starting hitting the 80's you really start to feel the difference with your player

Yup. I followed that up with a 19 and 25 performance with 3 Blks in a win against Detroit. Teammates are playing a little better, too. There are still some CRAZY things that happen, but chemistry might be toning it down.

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

So the AI hitting like every contested shot is freaking ridiculous and my teammates miss wide open shots coming from me being double teamed. This is frustrating.

Season 1, March 22

First real breakout game. 40pts, 10reb, 3asts, 1stl, 1TO, 15-17 from the field in a W over NYK.

Got the sprint endorsement for that one. Superstar/Sim

This **** feels so random (no I'm not trying to boast about my game) but I just had a 47 point 12 reb 3 assist 1 steal 2 block game (SF). Pretty damn similar, but no endorsement. Maybe it's because my team is hovering around .500

edit: I just thought about something. You're a big man. You probably dunked a lot I'm guessing. That's probably the difference. Sprite seems to be associated with dunk stuff.

Is there a list of what you have to do to unlock each badge?

Try posting in the badge thread. Still in order to get badges you generally have to do what they help you with. I just got Volume Shooter after taking 30 shots. Got screen outlet after setting screens and then taking shots off the screen. There are some I'd really like to know how to get, but that's the general rule of thumb.

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

I got onto the Rockets with my PF. It was the top of the list for me. Well, in the suggestions they give you of who to try out for. I chose the Rough Riders in MyPARK, but I haven't gotten into any games yet.

I do like the approach this year, though. MyCAREER in 2K14 was a bit "meh" for me, but I like it more now. It has a bit of a 2K11 feel to it, in my opinion. In fact, a lot of things have a 2K11 feel, lol. I do wish the D-League was back, though. It'd fit well in this career scenario. The Summer Circuit and Draft are still things I want in MyCAREER.

I don't really like James Harden being my mentor. I don't see why he should be talking about defense. I think eventually, mentors should be based on position. Ex: Bigman playing for the Spurs - mentored by Tim Duncan. Point Guard playing for the Spurs - mentored by Tony Parker.

You might have been on the road. The Sprint requirement was for home, I think. If you look at your Endorsements you can see the specific requirements for each endorsement. Some are hidden, but you can see most of them.

Sprite doesn't say, but I edited my post. You probably dunked a lot didn't you?

LOL

Now that's funny.

James Harden: defensive mentor.

Don't forget to work on your passing skills with world renowned ball movement specialist, Kobe Bryant.

Yeah, I was embarrassing fools

But that is the only way I score, actually. Putbacks, dunks, rolls to the hoop. Perimeter game will be year two. The first year is just about being a physical beast, hitting the boards, dunking on heads and backing down when I have the mismatch.

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

Having multiple careers this year is harder then it was in the past for me. I keep switching too fast and using the vc for the wrong guy, if that makes sense. So, I'm going to have to do, first one guy then the next.

Which teams do you guys like to try-out for with Bigs? I have always played wings, so I am unsure who to target for my Center. I prefer to go with play-off level teams, usually ones that I can help move up in their seeding. For my PG, I chose the Mavs.

Also, since I suck as a Big, I probably need an easier grade as a threshold. Thanks in advance for your input.

Do all of them look the same and have the same name still? Would be cool to have different MyPlayers like in 2k11!

That makes sense. I figured Sprite would be tied to something dunking related. I'm about a 3rd of the way through a season and have maybe dunked 5 times, so I wont be getting that anytime soon.

Same MyPlayer - if you change the MyPlayer it changes the look on them all and the name ... which is bad if you made your Social Network handle your old name ... lol.
It is the same guy for all the careers you make. Just different height, weight, etx that you change at the beginning of each career.

I wrote SPRINT, my dude, haha.
