    Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

    [QUOTE=IrishSalsa;2048746978]Any way to NOT play with Justice? Too cheesy playing with a Hollywood actor who becomes all world NBA talent along with me. I want this mode to be challenging. I just beat the Spurs 116-88 on Allstar and my stat line was 26pts 4reb 3ast

    Anyways I wanna get off his team and play against him. Think I will bump up to Superstar too for a while. What did you guys do? Can we not have to play with him? Force my team to trade him would be great.



    Can't do anything unless you ask for a trade without him in the first season, if you're close to the end of the season you have a 50-50 chance that justice gives you a call telling you he's leaving because trade talks and all during the first season. (exactly what happened in my career, he went to GS)

      I might want to explore this. Haven't played this since this year. This might be good. Got link the thread?

          It's really great. You can get some really nice sliders to make the game flow much more realistic. I use creweutah's sliders. I've only found that the "teammate grade" meter is something I miss. Seeing that reward for good play is satisfying. Other than that, for me, myGM playerlock is the best way to play the game without railroaded mycareer storylines, level caps, and worrying about VC.

            This way of playing is grand. Especially when you realize that you don't have to grind to have a good player.

            Want a rags to riches story: just put yourself into a draft class with low ovr and high potential and use player development to your advantage by playing a few seasons.

            Wanna be good from the get go? Be a high ovr player or maybe just play as LaMelo Ball .

            It pretty much combines the best of 2 worlds. The full control over your association with expansion teams and 30 team control as well as custom draft classes with the mycareer appeal by just using one player and developing him into a star without caps and justice

            Only part I miss is the immersion since the team mate grade is missing but in my mind that's acceptable since it plays so much better than mycareer.

              I think that the player lock is a really great mode but the ability of scan your face put my carreer in other level.

                i think I'm about 4 games away from requesting a trade again. But interest from 76ers actually decreased 2%. At 1st I didn't know why. But since they are doing alright in the standing (1 spot ahead of us for 6th in East) probably not going to make trade. I noticed that teams in top 8 have low interest. Like Hawks have 100% interest and a bottom tier team. But I have no interest at all in them.
                I'm most likely going to play out season and wait for FA

                    Started a new career, a 6'9 240lbs Center GC (inspired by Ben Wallace) had Richmond talking about how i was struggling after getting 10 points 7 rebounds 3 assists 6 blocks in my 3rd college game. Of the 6 blocks, 3 came on the first possession.

                      Won my second title in three years, second consecutive with the Cavs in one of the most dominant Finals I've ever seen against Portland. Swept them with a box +/- of 94 over the four games. It was so comfortable I barely had to perform, only scoring 28, 20, 15 and 24.

                      It was a strange Finals for Lillard, probably the most ball dominant point guard I've ever seen. In game 4 he went for 42 points, 15-42 shooting and 10-25 from deep. The Blazers only had 91 shots in total and he took 42.

                      I got Finals MVP again which I wouldn't have gotten if a Kyrie hadn't struggled in game 4.

                        Beat Warriors(without Draymond and Curry). It shouldn't have been close like it was throughout the game. But, I had 8 turnovers. Most of them were BS. I don't like Icon passing too much because it slows pace down. But, I did end up with my 1st career triple double with 29points(missed a FT at end of game), 12 assists, 10 rebs. The next game, for some reason, DeRozan lost his starting spot. Well, previous game he shot terrible. I don't know he takes so many 3s with a poor rating. He shot 1-11. With him on bench, we started great in a blowout win against Suns. With Carroll, Young, and Ibaka on court, we can spread out court more.
                        I passed 200 assists. With most of them being off of double moves. I know have to be close to getting Ankle Breaker. That badge will seriously elevate my game.
                        Was checking team stats. We are 1st in team FG%, 1st in FT%, top 5 in 3pt%, 2nd in steals. I was surprised that we are top 3 in 3pt% allowed. Then I realized that with Justice and DeRozan on the wing and being good perimeter defenders, it really helps. Plus as a PG, I'm able to change defensive settings. I was change the perimeter settings to smother and deny for wing defenders. So not much space to get off shots.
                        Will most likely have to wait until FA to get to play for 76ers. Checked the contracts. They have a ton of cap space since most players are on rookie contracts or vets. So I know I can get a max contract. Embiid has a team option for next year. But expect them to pick it up. But chance that he doesnt design after next year. Hope they don't pick up Okafor contract.

                          The Coaching AI kills me in this game. Four fouls in the second quarter, and I'm still playing? That's an issue. It makes no sense to risk me fouling out when playoff games are on the line.

                          Another thing with the Coaching AI is that the lineup change way too often. The playoff starts and you're tinkering with the lineups? You're putting players in the starting lineup that barely played? C'mon.

                              I was able to request another trade to 76ers the game before last. But with 35% interest, highly unlikely. With the 76ers having a all rookie starting lineup(if me and Justice go there), highly unlikely that the offensive plays will be ran through one person besides maybe Embiid. Because DeRozan seems to get every play ran towards him and most of them result in mostly open 3 point looks by he has terrible eating which causes him to get cold. I'll see. Like I said, worse to come to worse I'll go to 76ers myself in FA.
                              Last couple games I started off well with turnovers until 3rd quarter and usually go down hill and end up with 5 turnovers. The game before last we played the 2nd or 3rd seed Spurs and blew them out. I had a 16-13-10 triple double. I had 1 turnover going into 3rd. And ended with 6 turnovers. But last game we faced the Jazz. I only had one turnover the whole game. Was my best ball control game. The only turnover came me trying to do a ISO move and the defender poking it loose.
                              The last game against Jazz was a very close loss where we were down at last 13 in 3rd and down 10 in 4th. But it got closer where we were down 3 last couple minutes. But I solely blame Justice Young for the lost. IMO he has been horrible on offense this year, think he only had one or 2 games over 15 points none over 20. He ended with 5-19 shooting, going 1-12 from 3. Yes Ibaka went 1-9 from 3 and DeRozan shouldn't be taking 3s period. But Justice has 90 3pt and couldn't buy a shot. If it wasn't for his lockdown defense, I would request trade without him. Im not ashamed to say I usually put him on the harder matchup. Like i put him on Tony Parker and I took Green. I easily shut down Green to 4 points and those were Garbage time points. But it seems like since he has no shooting badges his good shot ratings don't matter. I know he gets better 2nd and 3rd season.
                              I know I have to be very close to getting Ankle breaker badge. I am at 234 assists and most of them came from off double moves and I have 10+ scores off of double moves. So I know have to be very close to reaching it. That badge will help out scoring and keeping down turnovers

                                My very next game against the Bulls, I had a 12-11-11-4 game in a blowout win with only 2 turnovers. Justice finally had a good game with 19 points and 5 assists. I know I have to be VERY close to Ankle Breaker. I know you need 200 scores/assists off of double moves. I have 245 assists most I tried to get off of double move and I have been scoring lately off of double moves. So, I know I have to 1-4 games away. I think Dimer is 300 assists. I think I am 6-7 games away from that.
                                I got traded to the 76ers!! I guess that triple double must have really helped. I requested Justice. Mainly for his defense. The trade was a obviously a robbery with bad trade logic. It was me and Justice for Gerald Henderson. Which also helps with his 9 mil contract off of books. I'm excited to see how this season plays out. They have 70 mill in cap space next year. So, me and Justice can sign max deals and still have ton of money left. Embiid has a team option for next year. Simmons is locked up. Saric is good until next year. They are also 20-15 in standings. So playoffs isn't out of question. Only small thing is that Justice and Ben Simmons have same jersey number. But not big deal.
                                I feel good about leaving Raptors. Didn't feel comfortable starting over Lowry and pushing DeRozan to SF and Carroll only playing PF in spurts. Plus we left with a 23-13 record, good for 3rd in East. So they're in great shape. We face the Raptors in like 6 games, so that would be a good matchup.
                                I will miss DeRozan and Ibaka's perimeter defense compared to Simmons and Saric. But they both have good height and Simmons blazing speed makes up for defense. Simmons cant shoot for nothing. But I would have to use him as a slasher and alleyoops. Covington will make up for Simmons lack of shot. When Covington comes in can really space the court.
