Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Had a great 1st game with the 76ers against Brooklyn. They controlled the game and had a 16 point lead in 3rd. But we managed to come back and win by 8. I think Embiid had close to 30 and 10. Saric and Justice had near 15. I had my best assist game. I had 11 points, 19 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 Turnovers. I tried hard for to get 20 assists at end lol. I liked that Justice got plays ran towards him.
Some thing really ironic happened lol. Ben Simmons had a easy transition layup and landed funny. He has a turn Achilles and out for season smh lol. Not mad honestly. He was a liability scoring. Only thing is doubt he would get ratings boost for next season. With Covington most likely starting, it will add another scorer and space things out.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Next game against Knicks was a struggle in a blowout loss. Had problems scoring, not getting good looks. Justice Struggled. But next game against Hornets was a runaway victory where I padded the stats. We blew them out by 58 points. Embiid only played 20 minutes but still had 21 points. Me and Justice ran up the score. He had 30 points, and I padded my stats with 35pts, 17 assists, 10 rebs, 6 turnovers.

I was trying to get as many assists as possible. I am now 9 assists away from 300 career. So possible next game I can get Dimer badge with 10 assists. I don't how many more scores I need off of double moves for Ankle breaker badge. I know most of my assists have to come from double moves and I score more now off of double moves. Hopefully in next couple games

Do you have to do anything at practice, or can you just go and leave and that's good enough?

You have to do something. Most people just do the vertical jump twice and fill the meter. Plus, there are +1s to gain

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Im about to face the Raptors next. Should be a tough matchup. They haven't slipped since we left and now 2nd in East. But we just blew out 1st in East last game. We have played well despite Ben Simmons out for year. Embiid has been consistently dominant and I stepped up my scoring. But Justice has been more consistent
I realized that it is 300 assists within 20 games which is averaging 15 a game in that span. So it'll be a will a while. Last 8 games I have 99, so in next 12 I need to get 201. So I need to average over 16. But i don't try to play on easier settings. It wouldn't be fun for me to basically cheese to just get badges.
But I don't know how many more scores/assists off of double moves I need to get Ankle breaker badge. I have about 312 assists and I know a good portion of those have to come from off of double moves. So hopefully within next 2-3 games I can get it. I might have to try to get Orange juice activated more. I don't really try to, mainly because Justice stays cold and when I do, don't take advantage of it.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I finally got Dimer badge. It is 300 assists in a 30 game span. I'm still surprised that I still don't have the Ankle Breaker badge. My turnovers have went up because of badge grind. I also am trying for Lob City passer. Should have that within next 10 games. I know I thrown at least 20 in last 5-8 games. I didn't attempt that many at all before than . I have about 350 career assists, I would have thought I would have been had Ankle Breaker since I made sure to use double moves. Especially since I been trying to score off of double moves. I upgraded Dimer to Gold. Hopefully that will help me get more assists off of double moves. I know I am one "Poke Ball Loose" away from Pick Pocket badge. So, I am going for that. I recently got Relentless Finisher. So, I am going for Pick Pocket, Ankle Breaker, and Acrobat, and Hall of Fame PnR Maestro. I have been attempting euro steps lately.
After that I can finally play naturally and not force issue just to get badges

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

14-1 so far with Thunder, but I'm trying hard to get HoF ankle breaker and HoF dimer. Seems impossible though, I've been averaging 10 assists a game since the start (2nd season now), and I'm trying to get as many 'double move blabla' as I can. It's annoying because I don't want to cheese but the game 'forces' me since I want those badges.

It's fun to play with Thunder though, even if Westbrook and Oladipo are extremely hit and miss. We have Terrence Jones, Ilyasova, Adams and Kanter as big men and they're all great. 2 that can stretch the floor and 2 that can rebound with the best of them. Kanter and Adams gets so many putbacks. Westbrook usually goes for 30-40% fg but gets around 30 a game since he shoots A LOT. I'm averaging a triple double and we are really blowing away teams, won with 40 points against Pelicans and Nets (ok they're crap). Regular season is a bit of a drag but I need those freaking badges.

Tell me about it lol. Its seems almost impossible to know how many scores/assists off of double moves you need. Dimer is easier to know. Pretty much you would need about 1200 career assists for HoF. Wish they had Double Moves lead to score in Accolades. You would need 800 for Hof Ankle Breaker.
I'm still trying to get Bronze Badge Ankle Breaker. I would have thought I would get that before Dimer with the way how I make sure I use double moves. I basically have to cheese too. Having to call a lot of picks and do iso moves before passing. I hope I'm at least 5 games away. I know I had at least 4-8 scores/assists off of doubles every game so far

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Finishing up the last few games on HOF Difficulty, 12 minute quarters 6'10 200lbs Paint Protector. Was drafted 7th by New Orleans then forced a trade to the Warriors after 5 games. Little unfair for the rest of the league
Currently 73-2 having won the last 70 games
Have already overtaken Mark Eaton's block record, am about 50-70 rebounds away from Wilt's rebound record and am tracking to set the season record in FG%

Season Averages
30 ppg
28 rpg
5 apg
1 spg
6.5 bpg
78.7% FG
91% FT

In terms of the offseason im probably planning to go to the Spurs although it depends on what teams i get max offers from.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I'm not new to OS or nba2k (been on both since early 00's) but i am new to the ps4. I've been playing my career on the ps4 for about a month now and every few days it says my account expired and i have to re-enter all my information.

I logged on to the nba2k website with my account and that was supposed to fix this problem according to their FAQs, but none of that has worked and I have never received the verification email (yes i checked the junk mail too).

I have searched through these forums, 2k's forums, reddit's forums, and through all of google and no one has given me an answer. Can someone tell me if this is just a thing i have to deal with every few days or is there an actual fix?

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Is it just me or anyone getting bored about their MyPlayer after 1-2 seasons and start over with a new player? I have 6 careers already and none of them are beyond second season.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Finally got Bronze Ankle breaker badge lol. I got it after the 3 assists off of double moves in 1st quarter. Then got Acrobat badge soon after that. Only other badge Im really working on is Lob City Passer.
Since i got the badges I really wanted, I can play the way how i want without cheesing for badges. But I want to get to my 2nd season. I have 100% plans resigning with 76ers. I just want to see Progression of current teammates.
Covington, Embiid, McConnell, Okafor, Holmes, Splitter, Anderson are all on a team option, besides Splitter on one year deal. So it would be easy to say team would look different. But all the options are cheap. We will have 70 mil in Cap, so they could easily resign all. I don't see them picking up Anderson option. I don't see Splitter resigning. I would like for them to not pick up Okafor's and McConnell option. Both don't have good stats so hopefully not. McConnell isn't bad, but I don't like having him, me, and Justice on the court at once, too small. I don't mind Holmes, has a decent 3pt as a 7 footer and can block. We have a lot in cap that they can possibly sign some one really good. But we don't have a need since our starting lineup is good. If Simmons can stay healthy next year, we don't really need a backup SF if we pick up Covington's option. Just need a true backup SG. I would prefer a 6'5-6'8 SG/SF that is a 3 & D player on the bench. We also need a backup PF behind Saric. I would prefer someone similar. A stretch 4, but someone who is Athletic. I would like to get rid of Okafor and Splitter. Okafor is only good for posting up. Splitter has good decent defensive perimeter ratings, but that's about it. I would a backup center who is a good rebounder and paint defender. Because when Embiid goes on bench, we cant rebound and defend paint.
I'm sure Justice and Embiid wont really improve as much rating wise, I'm just hoping they get a lot more badges. Like Embiid only has 1 gameplay badge. I want to see him get Eraser, hustle rebounder, Alley Oop Finisher, a post badge. I expect Justice to get Lob City passer. I want him to get a couple 3pt badges, he misses a lot of easy shots. Simmons got injured early, but was performing well. I just hope he gets a couple badges. But I really want to see how Saric improves. It would be nice to see his rebound, pass vision, and 3pt rating go to 80+. I really like playing with him. Has the ability to stretch the floor to clear space for Embiid and has passing vision makes a big difference.

So if games become blowouts, I will sim to end of game. And if a game isnt followed by a Team Practice, I will sim the game. I want to get to the second season as fast as possible. Nothing really more to play for this season. Embiid pretty much has ROY locked down. I don't care how we do in playoffs(will sim anyway). Only badge I want is Lob City Passer, but not a big need for me. I can get HOF Dimer and Ankle Breaker next season. I have my player where I want him rating wise. I really just want to boost Draw Foul, but its random in practice. Don't care about Endorsements. Only 33 games left, so I want to get through them quick

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Is it just me or anyone getting bored about their MyPlayer after 1-2 seasons and start over with a new player? I have 6 careers already and none of them are beyond second season.

The only career I enjoy playing for fun and not grinding is my playmaker PG (I have 5 myself, the rest I just grind when I need to). Even that's really hard to have fun with this year with the AI logic and gameplay on HOF. I left Atlanta after my first season because Bazemore chucked up shots and cost us a second round exit to the Bulls and I hated that despite wanting to play with Dwight.

I ended up signing with the Rockets in the off season for less money than Atlanta offered me. This team traded Ryan Anderson for Wes Matthews and Seth Curry the year before and because for some reason they don't let you see what the roster would be like for the coming year...I signed with a team where our starting PF is Josh Smith, who is barely more tolerable than Bazemore because while he bricks, he also rebounds and plays decent defense but it's still killing us when he gets wide open shots and bricks most of them. He seriously goes some games like 6-22 and takes the most shots because AI teammates swing it to him since teams sag off and he just shoots and shoots. The team also signed Jodie Meeks as if we didn't have enough two guards and of course Beverly is still there. Harden doesn't play like Harden at all and I call a lot of isos and pick and rolls for him but he'll turn it over or take jumpers far more than getting to the line like in real life. Smith is our only true PF, Capela is our C and leading the league in rebounding averaging 16. This is because the only other back up C is Ryan Hollins, who every time he's in, ends up rebounding and scoring well but he gets maybe 4 minutes if it's a blowout. There are times that Ariza or Brewer play C...with Smith in the PF spot.

I started this when the game first came out so maybe ratings are impacted by that and it'd be better with a new career (it sounds like it reading from those in here recently that started careers recently). Our record is 17-18 and I try to play realistically trying to keep it under 25 shots per game. It's hard to have fun when teammates come down and throw up threes in transition no matter their rating. Every career there's a teammate like that, some just hit better than others. I really hope this stuff is fixed in 2K18 and they bring back letting us be able to talk to the owners about who to possibly sign or trade for if you're struggling. I don't want to ask for another trade for myself, I just want the team to trade one of our logjam of SG's for a better back up C or a starting PF.

Well, for me the Point Forward SF and Paint Protector C are the ones I enjoy most. I created the Point Forward after the trade deadline deals and was drafted by the Nuggets but requested a trade and I am on the Hawks now. Bazemore is gone to the Nuggets and they also traded Muscala and Humphries for Wes Matthews. So our starting 5 is Justice, Wes, My Player, Millsap, Howard. I enjoy playing for the Hawks and we are leading the East. Still on the rookie season and 1 month left for the playoffs.
