Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Near to the All-Star weekend with both my careers. Hope that does not happen to me as I don't have any injuries yet.

I get the hammy injury as soon as I finished the last game before all-star weekend. I told Xavier I'm gonna play through it. When I go to the rookie showcase game(or whatever it's called) I'm not on either team, same for the East v. West game(I was supposed to start in both). Then it sims to my next team game, making me miss a bunch off days, including a team practice.

I told Xavier the same thing hoping it would get me the hardened badge. I got injured after the ASW after a Feb 27th against the Warriors and missed up until March 13 right before a second matchup with the Warriors. We ended up going 6-1 during the time I was out but it was still frustrating.

In my other career I got injured after all-star weekend for sure.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I have been debating on simming to the end of regular season for my rookie season and mainly just doing team practices and games before them. Ive done every game so far. We have the #1 record in the East with 18 games left. I want to lock up a playoff spot before I start simming games.
Unless we do well, I'm leaning towards leaving this team. Even though we have best offense in league, we don't really have the personnel for the plays we alwayss run. Jeff Green and Aaron Gordon are used primarily as 3pt shooters and their 3pt rating isn't good enough for that. And aren't good perimeter defenders.
I like playing with Justice. Rarely do opposing PGs go off on him. Just wish he was a more aggressive scorer, rather than a spot up shooter.
If I do leave Magic, I'm really interested in playing for the Pistons. The oldest starter would be Jackson at 27. It could be a great defensive team with Caldwell-Pope, Johnson, me, and Drummond. Me and Drummond would control the paint and snatch rebounds. The main issue would be 3pt shooting. They have decent, but not great shooters. So with me and Drummond as primarily paint scorers, we need others to dish out too

Really disliking the start of my Undersized Sharpshooter SG career. I saved up a lot of VC before I started career to add to my 3pt. But I really struggle to make shots. I usually go like 1-12 or something close. [...]

What difficulty and jumpshot you using?

Okay, why am I not the MVP? I know I'm a rookie, but I am 93 overall, averaged 24/6/9, led team to 19 game win streak to end the regular season, but for some stupid reason Westbrook beat me out. Is it because he averaged 26 ppg even though my team is #1 and his team is #7?

I believe Superstar. I've been constantly changing my jump shot. Where i started at 47, 51, I think I'm using one in the hundreds now. I was looking forward to getting the jump shot creator after I do the Coach K thing. Because i created a good jumpshot for my PF even though he can't shoot.
Main thing I don't like it creating him very undersized and forced to play Sf

Same thing happened to me twice on 2 separate MyCareers.

I got injured during the 3PT contest both times (How does a player get injured in a 3PT contest?), and then I chose to play through the injury only to find out the All Star Game is broken. I was one of the top vote getters, it said I made the All Star Team, but when the game starts, I'm not on the roster and I don't get credit for making the All Star team.

I haven't found a fix online. All I keep reading is people complaining about the same issue with others responding saying they were "unlucky" or that it's their fault because they chose "NOT" to play through the injury, but that's not true. Happened to me twice and it happened at the same time and I chose to play through the injury both times. The thing is, this isn't the first time 2K has had issues with the All Star Game. My guess is that this "untimely injury" was intentionally put into the game by 2K because 2K knows the All Star Game is broken. Instead of fixing the All Star Game, they would rather injure you right before or during All Star Weekend in hopes that you will think it's your fault instead of their fault. It's their fault. This game is broken.

NBA2K used to be a great franchise. With each release, this game is getting worse and 2K is getting greedier. This whole buying VC concept is ridiculous, and the notion that you have to pay for an Online account to play Online game modes in order to access additional upgrades for your Offline MyCareer makes zero sense except for 2K being so greedy that they want to force the people who play Offline to spend unnecessary money. Or the fact that they offer a few College Teams, but you have to pay extra money for them even though their use is limited to Play Now mode. In 2K18, I wouldn't be surprised if they finally fix the All Star Game, but they decide to make us pay extra just to be able to play it.

I really hate this game. I hope a new franchise pops up and uses NBA2K's blueprint from a few years ago, back when this was a great game, and destroys 2Ks sales, forcing them to fall into obscurity because of their own greed.

Some other funny business on 2K's part with this All Star Weekend Injury Glitch is that they've removed the "All Star Participants" section of the menu and it doesn't appear until after the All Star Game, which makes no sense. At that point, the glitch has already taken place and you've been removed from the list of participants. I've noticed that the only way to know who else made the All Star Game is by checking each player's social media, but the social media section is also buggy because people's tweets are conveniently blank during this period. More proof that 2K is well aware that the All Star Weekend portion of the game is broken and instead of fixing it, they're intentionally injuring your player during All Star Weekend to confuse you and they've simultaneously tried to remove any evidence that you were ever on the All Star team. All that just to avoid admitting they're selling you a broken game, again. I would rather they bypass All Star Weekend altogether and give me credit for making the All Star team instead of intentionally injuring my player and corrupting my MyCareer file. Or, you know, they could always go back to the drawing board, fix this first and not release a broken game every year.

Lol just lost 103-104 to the Pels because Tyreke Evans with his 64 steal runs up on my and knocks it away from me (81 BC) as soon as I catch the ball. [emoji854]

Did anyone ever manage to get a new Mycourt or was that all just a lie?

Try a signature jumper from a similar sized player.

Some suggestions for use, Lillard, Wall, Paul, Parker, Stockton, Walker - they all have unique jumpshot rhythms

Some good ones for all types of players are Curry, KD, Kevin Love,

They cost VC so go with what passes your eye test for visually appealing forms.

Just a new mycourt period? Or a new mycourt after you get a new mycourt?

My SG is 6'3. So I guess Lillard or Curry.
I think I just need to push through it. Once I get some shooting badges, then my player will be more consistent. Because my 3pt is maxed and mid range is around 86, but cant make shots
