Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Can happen to anyone controlled by the CPU though but having him as SG if you are PG is stupid since he is so small.

Anyway, I just found out that if you sign with a different team after the Rookie season, Justice will always come with you no matter what. I thought I can play the first season with him and then switch, but nope. Since I'm right before the All-Star break I will ask for a trade to get rid of him. Sucks because we are right behind the Cavs but I can no longer tolerate that Justice takes away the starting spots of real NBA Stars. It's not fun. I think a good team to go to as a PG is Atlanta. I think I would fit right in. Schröder to the bench! I hate those hideous neon jerseys though. Yuck!

I've played 2 rookie seasons and Justice left to a different team both times. Not sure why though.

The button more, but I've also tried the stick. And results are pretty much the same. Before last update, I've tried both and both worked consistently well according to my shooting attributes. I prefer the button and I have no problem not getting that "extra boost" that the stick supposedly gives you, because I feel much more comfortable with the first. But since neither worked for me since last update, I doesn't really matter. I don't know, maybe it's just my luck?

I can't make anything either. What's your shooting attributes at?

I'm at 73 mid and 65 3pt. When I was at 60s mid, I could consistently hit open shots; I wasn't making all of them, but something respectable for wide-open shots, around 50% or so. Now at the 70s I barely hit a few. Before, I even nailed a few 3pters here and there, especially from the corners, in catch and shots situations. I know I'm not a sharpshooter and I don't force things, that's why I'm so frustrated with it. If I was trying to shoot contested jumpshots and whatnot, I would understand why I don't nail them. Maybe it's just a "fluke" or something?

If you notice our offensive consistency attribute starts out in the 40s and I think that has a lot to do with it.

Has anyone tried to create a custom shoe with your company you are signed with? I did and create the same shoe with different colors and it was free in the nba store. Now they cost 7500 vc. Does anyone know what happened?

It's always that. Create your dream shoe and buy it.

Yes, it might be the reason. And I think it's stupidly low, should be at least in the 50s, if not higher depending on your archetype. Supposedly, the only way to make it higher is with dribbling drills during team practice (similar to free throws), which is VERY annoying.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Guys, I figured out why I'm missing so many open shots, especially the ones with good releases, filling the bar fully up but don't turning it green. It's the *** **** zones you are standing in. I have a few where I have a 30-40% rating (blue ones) where I can not hit a shot even if I'm open. Not even on my own court in the hangar. Those are all good releases, all with full bar. Only <30% go in. All my zones that are around 45-50% I can hit around 60% or more, even if I mess up my shot, they will go in with a high consistency.

I never had this happen in 2K before. As far as I know, cold zones make it harder to hit your timing right but it seems in 2K17 they factor in way more than that. Regardless of your release or your openness, you will have a tough time making buckets from there which in turn makes it very hard to improve those zones.

Anyone with problems could try it out on the court in the hangar. You don't need anyone around. Just look at the zones and try shooting from blue/red ones.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

So I've decided to stop playing MyCareer until they fix the jumpshot mess. It's so annoying and game-breaking how I can't hit a ****ing WIDE-OPEN jumpshot. I've tried changing forms (which is also annoying to do, btw) but it didn't work. Thankfully I didn't spend any extra money on VC, I would be extremely pissed off in that case. I'll be checking the forums to see if it gets fixed or not, hopefully it will within next days/weeks.

You'll bge waiting a long time. All the people that cried over sharpshooters being too good are the reason for this. It's impossible the way this game is made to lowered sharpshooters and allow other builds to shoot the way they were. this will be further nerfed in the lead up to RTTF, so get ready for a bumpy ride!

I really hope they fix the glitch where when you get to the playoffs you can't view the regular season stats, only the playoff stats

Damn I was watching the ball bounce on the rim a lot. Easy shots not going down.

At any point in MyCareer do you get to call plays or is the entire career just freelance offense?

When you get to 95 ovr you get the on court coach badge, which lets you do what you're asking about. Have you turned the settings and play-vision on in the coach section of your options?

Are "cold" zones really 30-40% from deep??? If so, that's ridiculous. "Cold" should really only be <30%. 30-40 ought to be neutral (outside. Inside, that is truly awful, but outside... could definitely be worse.). No bonus or penalty.
