Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

When trying to maximize your VC earning VS the computer, is it better to play on Hall of Fame, or Rookie and just destroy them, or does it just even itself out in the end?

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Is this 2k17 or 2k16? i had this problem in 2k16 and couldn't get it fixed but this year has been fine

This is NBA 2k17. Its beginning to happen even more frequently now and I still can't figure it out. Is there even a "contact us" or "tech support" link for 2k? Maybe I can get them to send the email again.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I ended up simming rest of the rookie season. Nothing else to really play for. I ended up winning ROY. I thought Embiid had it locked but stats must have dropped. I simmed playoffs lost in 1st round.
I resigned for a 3 year max. Most of the guys who were on options got picked up. But we managed to sign Paul Millsap for a 4 year max. I like the addition. Great perimeter defender and post defender, good rebounder, and post score. Moves Saric to 6th man. So chance that Millsap gets moved to SF, when Saric 1st comes in. As Expected Embiid got more badges. Like the PnR badges, Rim Protector, Lob City finisher. Justice has 19 badges. Will really help. I like the Corner Specialist, Limitless Range, Ankle breaker, Lob City Passer. Covington got Dead Eye Deep range.
Ben Simmons is still injured. Out 4-6 more weeks. All from a wide open layup lol. Didn't regress or improve. But i like the fit with Paul Millsap. I can switch Millsap on to better SF, and Simmons will still have size and speed to cover PF.
Embiid contract is up this season. With me and Millsap on Max deals, he might not resign. Also Saric is up too. I think we'll have 30 mill in space. Can't sign both. But one positive is that we still managed to get a high lottery pick, #6. It was a 7' C/PF, who has 83 3pt and 81 Mid Range. But funny that he does not get any minutes at all yet. We picked up Okafor contract(smh), but still signed Terrence Jones. I wished we got rid of both those guys and McConnell. So if we lose Embiid or Saric or both, that Rookie could fit in.

I think we will do great. I don't plan on playing every game. After the 5 game or so, I will start simming games. A month away from having Simmons back. I like Convington, but i like him off the bench. Until Simmons get back, I love our defense now with Millsap. We have the type of lineup where we could switch on defenders and be able to go against any lineup. Millsap can guard on perimeter and on post. Thats one thing Saric couldnt. I will miss Saric's passing ability though. He would always pass to the right person. But with last year, Covington never had the starting SF spot locked. Tended to lose minutes. I would love to see Saric at 4 and Millsap at 3. Even though spacing might be issue at times, both Saric and Millsap has ability to make a 3pt (both at 75). Millsap doesn't have the speed, but has the perimeter defense(85) to cover SF.

Hall Of Fame for sure. Kinda unfair in a sense for those who like 12 minute games but depending on your archetype/stat line, you can make virtually the same amount of VC playing 5 minute quarters on HOF that you do for 12. I know for my centers, it can be just above 1K or more per game. It's all individual performance based, blowouts don't really matter when it comes to earning VC.

zyton mentioned his paint protector C, that's actually the career that I really was on a roll with this before I got him to where I like him. Once I got all the badges that were must haves, I trimmed it down to 5 minutes on HOF and was knocking out multiple games stacking up VC while getting lesser badges and upgrades. I rarely do the sim and ask out for VC because most of the time I'm grinding for badges when I play or want to play out the game but if your team is good enough to blow others out and you do that...you can probably make VC even faster playing just a half if you try and put up some monster stats in the first half.

It depends on points scored more than anything else, its ridiculous that i can get this stat line

And only get 1,763 VC on HOF Difficulty. Come on, its a Quadruple Double AND a 5 by 5 only 2 steals short of a Quintuple Double

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Started my second season 2-0. 1st game was a runaway blowout against Nets since kept Lopez in foul trouble. Had a triple double. 2nd game was a comeback win against Pistons. They controlled the game throughout and had a 13 point lead in 3rd and 8 in 4th. But we were able to make a run and stops. I had 23-16-7-3 game, but had 6 turnovers. I only had 1 in 1st half. Covington had 25 points(9-25).
I don't know what happened to Brett Brown, but he isn't our coach anymore. Our coach is Steve Kerr. I was shocked to see him on our bench. I don't like the Warriors play set for our team. We don't have the players for it. We have the passers(me, Justice, Saric, Simmons), but not enough shooters. They're plays are mostly perimeter passing and screens. Embiid wont have the same impact on offense. Millsap didn't have much of impact on offense 1st couple games.
When Simmons comes back from injury, I'm curious to see how he fits on the offense we run. He doesn't have the shooting ratings at all. But hopefully he has low tendencies. He was 4-6 weeks away before 1st game, but after 2nd game he is only 2-4 weeks away. Which is great, since I don't plan on playing every game, I rather have Covington off the bench, not taking over 15+ shots. But spacing would definitely would be issue especially play calls. Defenders will sag off and get into pass lane or take away space for Embiid in Post. That would almost make Millsap our secondary 3pt shooter, and he only has 75 3pt rating, And Frontcourt would all like to post up, but play calls are mostly perimeter passing.
One weird thing I see is Richard Holmes, our backup big, has 75-80 3pt rating, but very low 3pt attempt tendency. So, he doesn't attempts 3s. That is the only good thing he does on offense, so he's useless. I would like to get rid of him, Okafor, McConnell, and Terrence Jones. Terrence Jones is our 7th man as of now. 1st game played a few minutes with him. 2nd game, he only played with 2nd lineup. He doesn't fit the offense we run. Like I said before, we drafted a 7' faceup center with #6 pick. He has 83 3pt and 81 mid range. He is 74 OVR, but has A potential. So with Chance of us not resigning Embiid or Saric(both on contract year), he is good backup plan. I would love to see him in our lineup, he fits our lineup perfectly. But he doesn't get minutes at all.
Also noticed that computer generated players drafted are better than years past. I see non lottery picks with 75-83 shoot ratings. But even with lottery picks, most are extremely one sided. I see good offense players, but have terrible defense ratings

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I see why we don't get a lot of VC on hall of fame..It's a bit too easy...At least for me. I am a 70ovr Sharpshooter PG and I am averaging almost a triple double,depending on my matchup. My stat line usually looks like this. If my dude wasn't struggling with 70 shooting,I would have had over 30+ points lol. All this during my Rookie year...




I brick every time I shoot, unless I am completely wide open...It sucks but when I am maxed out..It's going to be insane.

I haven't checked my game since the newest patch but it wasn't there...You could access it with a ''glitch'' tho.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Gameplay improved for us with the last patch but become easier for the user. Superstar at least. I'm going to change to HOF and let's see.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

How in the name of something does one get the HoF ankle breaker badge? I must have been averaging 15-20 double move plays for the last 50 games, and probably 5-10 before that for a long time, but still nothing. It's so frustrating because I'm working only towards this badge at the moment, since the regular season is kind of boring. I'm averaging 5 turnovers a game and it's going up each game since I'm trying so hard to get double moves. I'm on the wrong team as well since Westbrook is really inconsistent, and the rest of my team is consistently crap at shooting making it difficult to get assists. It's also really not fun playing this way, making dribble moves all the time just so maybe I can get by someone or hit a pass to give me that double move... Extremely boring in fact and I just want to get it over and done with so I can play like a normal person.

Anyway, averaging a triple double at least with about 36 points, 2.5 blocks and 2.5 steals. Our record is 27-4 on HoF but I'm EXTREMELY BORED 2K!!!!!! Just give me my badge.

It is 800 career double moves that lead to a score. So that will take some time. So after 200, you have 600 more to go. So lets say you end your 1st season with 300 double moves. So for 2nd season you'll need 500. So for the season you'll have to average just over 6 double moves that lead to score for the whole season to get HoF at the end of season. So even if you get 10+ a game, might take you until All Star break
Felt like forever for me to get bronze badge. So it will be like at the end of my 2nd season to get HoF.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Started my 2nd season with Sixers 4-1. We lost first game of season against the Bucks. Most of the games have been close. We lost the game mainly because Embiid got in foul trouble quick and fouled out in early 4th quarter.

It was there where it is obvious that our success runs through him. For a few reasons. (One), Justice is too inconsistent. Despite his high shooting ratings, he has poor Offensive Consistency(50s), so no matter what he will be inconsistent. (Two), He is only rim protector and rebounder. We are good with perimeter defense and not giving up open 3pters. But, we consistently give up close and inside looks. And unless my PG gets a lot of rebounds, we are always out rebounded especially when he is on bench. (Third), I don't like how our bench is constructed. It is Saric, Terrence Jones(don't fit our team at all), Holmes, McConnell, Bayless, Okafor, and Anderson. No real scorer off bench or defender of bench. Best scorer on bench is a rookie who isn't even rotation. If I could make trades, I would trade Holmes, Okafor, McConnell, and Jones. the rookie is a faceup C/PF with A potential. Covington will go back to bench once Simmons is healthy. So our bench would be Covington, Saric, Bayless, rookie. So we would just to need 2 more people. I would like a center that can defend paint and rebound, someone like Bogut. And a backup SG/SF that is a 3 & D player.
Funny that before season, Ben Simmons was slated to be out for 4-6 weeks. Now after 5th games, he is 1-2 weeks away. I'm curious to see how he fits in the Warrior offense we run. He cant shoot at all. But passing ability and post game helps. I'll like Covington off the bench as opposed to a starter.

Weird. I simmed the last half of rookie season right after I got injured and didn't sit out. So, before 4th game of season, I got a cut scene where I strained the muscle and 'out for 2-4 weeks". But still not injured. I guess since I simmed after it last season, it nullified it. But I wasn't opposed to being out for 2-4 weeks. But I do plan on simming games again. I want to go after certain endorsements. But I will sim games that aren't followed by certain endorsements. I don't care about Team Practices

I know, was frustrating as hell yesterday so decided to rant a bit.

Still, a meter of some kind would be nice as it's even more annoying not knowing how long I've got left. I did end up getting HoF dimer the other day though, which is nice and also helps with the double moves. Weird thing was it didn't pop up midgame, I found it when I went through my attributes and stuff.
