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

All these missed layups at the cup and open jumpshots (91 3pt, 91 med, 91 close) with minimal D after a good cut,screen or dribble move are really making the game unplayable for me. It's just really ridiculous how someone with an 85 layup and 91 shooting ratings in the nba can't hit rec league layups and shots.

The defense sags off of you 4 or 5 ft and you pull the shot unless you get perfect timing *clang clank clang* it's like you only score when 2K decides to let you despite all your hard work getting around the GOAT defenders, running plays, setting screens or how open you are. Meanwhile, Doug McDermott is the second coming of Larry Bird.

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

In 35 minutes so far vs Utah.. Pekovic has 26 points and 21 boards.. problem.. he's worthless in the 4th quarter now.. missing over and over and over again.. went from shooting like 70% to 50% for the game in the 4th

Complete b.s. this finish.. they KEEP forcing it in to Pek.. who keeps missing.. now 11 of 25 shooting.. we shot 52% in the first half.. 35% in the third quarter.. 25% in the fourth quarter.. for 42% overall.. we were up 56-53 at the half.. down 103-92 with 2 minutes left in the game, Of course Utah is shooting 51%.. the game wouldn't have it any other way.

Exum has 13 pts 2 boards 2 assists.. I have 20, 10 and 3.. and am shooting 7 of 12.. I bet Exum calls me out because he played better.. I only saw him on the court once in his 15 minutes of play

By the way .. I still think the game is forcing me to lose at the end of close games.. at whistles I'm always the one throwing the ball in.. INSTEAD of being able to get down court ahead.. I'm the LAST one down court.. I never throw it in until it's a close game late

Lost 111-99 in this one Pek ended up with ANOTHER 2 shots.. shot 11 of 27 to score 28 points.. crazy stupid when the backup center plays 1 minute.. AGAIN. Pek had 24 rebounds.. 14 of them offensive.. pretty sure they were ALL from missing his own shots

Yeah idk about the inbounding at the end of close games. I'm a SG, why am I the one inbounding the ball at the end? Makes zero sense to me.

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

First game with the Pacers and were up 52-33 against the Celtics at the half and I've only scored 10 points! PG isn't falling back like superstars usually do and is still a focal part of the offense and my teammates are making shots. IVE GOT 10 ASSIST ALREADY!

My second season is looking really bright. This, this is what I've been waiting for.

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

I'm definitely liking this mode so far. Playing as a PG for the Miami Heat. The difference in skill level between normal players and superstars are much more apparent. Despite me losing most of my games for a terrible Orlando Magic team, there were never any "scrub turns into KD" type of games at any point. Conversely, you feel a huge difference between good teammates and bad teammates. I left the Magic for the Heat in the offseason and the offense flows so much smoother and our defense is tight. We didnt have any floor spacing or rim protection in Orlando and everything was a hassle and no one could score. I love playing in Miami because I can depend on D Wade and Bosh for scoring production every game.

Ive had some interesting moments. In my second to last game with the Magic against the Heat I had a 50-20-20 game in triple overtime as we made a huge comeback and I hit the game tying buzzer beater 3 to send it into the final overtime where we finally won. Craziest game Ive been a part of. Half the Heat players and our center had fouled out at that point haha. Got Closer and Primetime badges for the performance.

After my 1st season, we had KD as the MVP and Jabari as Rookie of the Year and Thibs got Coach of the Year. Bulls beat the Spurs in 7 games to win the championship with Finals MVP going to D Rose. KG, Ray Allen, Vince Carter and Steve Nash all retired and made the hall of fame.

Udonis Haslem recruited me in the offseason which was awesome and so did Roy Hibbert which is funny because I absolutely 100% hate the Pacers with a passion (also hate Bulls, Knicks, Cavs, Spurs, Mavs, Pistons and Celtics lol) It was weird because Haslem got mad at me after our first game that he didn't get any touches but it wasnt my fault Doc Rivers decided not to give him any minutes. I cant give him the ball if hes not on the court.

We have a 5-1 record so far, our only loss is to the Hornets and we had a great blowout win against the Cavaliers who apparently knocked the Heat out in the conference semifinals. Hoping to return the favor once the playoffs roll around. Lebron better be content with the rings he got in Miami because there's no way he's ever bringing a championship to Cleveland. Those championships are coming back to Miami now with our new Big 3.

Yeah dude. Same thing here. The superstars really shine now because of the revamped ratings and badges system. You really notice it playing against superstars and playing with them. I notice playing next to D Wade and Chris Bosh that either of them can go off for 30 any night and be involved in the offense so I dont have to carry the load.

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

Y'all want to talk bout tragedy? I'll show you tragedy. There's about 20 games left to go in the season and we're 1 game out of the 8th seed. I had been putting more points and effort into Def, and it was definitely starting to show. We were about to win our 4th of 5 games. We were up by as much as 23 against GS, but at the time it was 17, and it was the biggest blowout i'd ever been in. I'm doubled, I pass it to Rose for the WIDE open 3 and he hits it... then he comes down funny on his knee and injures it. A minute later coach takes me out. Of course when I go back in we're only up by 10. The game somehow manages to get as close as 1 point, but we'd eventually win.


...Derrick Rose tore his achilles, and was done for the season.

Since the beginning I had full intentions of playing every game, but not after that ****. I said screw it and simmed to my 3rd season. This game REALLY has it out for me. I considered going to another team because I don't know if I can trust Rose's health, but decided to give it another go.

One thing that's ****ed up is that one of the only ways you can get a couple of the endorsements is to leave a team and go play for someone else. That's dumb.

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

Played a couple games in Park tonight.. since it actually worked.. I try to get in every night.. nice to see the tradition of spamming for steals is finally being punished with teammate grade in Park meaning something.. I kept getting fouled over..and over..and over again trying to pass the ball from the top of the arc in 3x3

A little different also.. you can't drive anymore to start a possession .. with the ball having to be thrown in, but I think you can fire up shots from the top without passing it in?

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

Wondering if anyone further along can help me. I'm about to finish up my 1st season with the Timberwolves (6'3 SG) and the team is playing much better than when I 1st got there. However team still only has 20 wins. My favorite team is the Bulls and they're currently 3rd on my interest list. I want to go there but don't want to see my team dismantled by the linear story lines of Doc Rivers (even tho he's a Chicago native) and also the trade cut scene. I'd like to see how Wiggins and LaVine develop but I feel the CPU will trade at least 1 of them anyway. Not sure where to go once the season ends.

The trade cutscene isnt scripted to happen. Its just something that will happen if there is a trade. A CPU trade triggers the cutscene and not the other way around.

Well that's a relief at least, but if I go to Chicago and we trade Noah for some random draft pick with a 65 overall it'll be My League for the duration of my ownership of this game lol

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

I think this is so you can roll the ball in. It's a neat idea, but it doesn't work out when you're one of the team's best FT shooters and the other team is fouling.

Roll the ball in with 2 minutes left and down 3? I don't need to save the shot clock THAT badly at that point.. I'd rather just call a timeout.. if we have one left in THIS game and take it at half court

How many minutes does LaVine get in your career? He barely sees any with my SG playing his alternate position so he can't sub for Martin OR Rubio.. since Williams is the #2 PG and Barea the #3 PG

Yea same here he's only seeing like 8 min a game. And when he's on the court he's a non factor just like Wiggins. I chose this team because I wanted to play with those 2 players. Turns out coach feels Pek is the next Patrick Ewing
