Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

MyCareer has been it's most challenging on HOF for me with the recent tweaks and I actually like it. I haven't played online since then to say about that but I'm getting realistic scores and having close battles every game (though we keep losing).

It very much comes down to the Josh Smith factor though. They nailed how he was in reality in that instead of rolling to the rim, 90% of the time he'll just fade back and miss a wide open 3. James Harden has also gotten worse and missed a wide open 3 to win the game against the Spurs but it seems like he's on a cold streak. I can barely hit jump shots to save my life but it's lead to me finding other ways to score as a playmaker PG. Part of me wants to ask for a trade because there's no chance that this team (20-22) is going to go far in the Playoffs and there's a chance we might not even make the Playoffs but part of me also wants to stick it out and see if anything happens trade wise. Usually in MyCareers, once you get to a certain level you can carry your team that this is never a worry unless the AI really messes up your team but with the way I play (trying to be realistic and not just take every shot), I feel like I'm in a real life situation of being on a team that's struggling and not clicking. Really it's a self destruction but there's still time to turn things around.

10 games into year 2 with 76ers, we are 8-2. I think I'm averaging 21-11-6-2. But my problem is turnovers. Mainly where I can probably just play more under control. Mostly charges, dribble turnovers, passes to unintended targets. If not for those I usually would only get 2-3 a game. Also not being aggressive with scoring. I usually don't try to score right away. Most of points are in garbage time.
Ben Simmons is now day to day. So I think he might be back within next 2-3 games. Which will really change the way we play. Outside of Justice, Covington is our main 3pt shooter. So he will be on bench. Even as a starter he only gets 23-25 minutes. Millsap gets 25 minutes. We go 11-12 deep in games. So when Simmons get back, he will get around 28-30 minutes . So we might only play 10 guys instead of 11-12. McConnell is out for 1-2 weeks. So our bench would be Saric, Covington, Terrence Jones, Okafor, Bayless. I don't see Holmes getting in the rotation when Simmons get back. I also think either Bayless or McConnell will fall out of rotation or get reserve time. Most likely Bayless.
But with Simmons, we will get much added rebounding, size, added passing. Problem is lack of shooting. Since we run the Warriors offense, that will be problem. Will have to get post looks and cuts to basket. But even Embiid only get the same 3-5 post looks.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Has anyone else experienced ridiculous interest in your player from other teams? I played on Superstar for the first 20games just to get used to playing again, then the last 3/4 of the season on HOF and in my first season had fantastic numbers (top 5 ppg, led league in assist and field goal percentage) won MVP, rookie of the year, won the NBA Finals (and got Finals MVP). By this point I was 89 overall, then in free agency no team had higher than 70% interest with 2/3 of the teams having lower than 60%.

Played a bit into the second season, went to the trade screen and the highest team had 62% interest with almost every team below 50. Through about 25 games I lead the league in assists, ppg, steals and field goal percentage and was up to 90 overall.

I'm not saying every single NBA team should be begging me to play there, but to have 1 and a half seasons like that and then have no team really be interested in you for a trade? Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd?

It's definitely been the case for me, although halfway into the second season they started to pick up slightly. As a playmaker PG, the Nuggets have 100% interest in me, another team I forgot has 87% but then a team like the Pacers, who lost Jeff Teague and have J.J. Barea as their starting PG is in the 60's or lower for interest when they could use a high rated point guard along with every other team in the league. I only lead the league in assists and steals so maybe it'll start to rise up for you as the season continues to go on but it's still perplexing how the AI logic is (though if you see some of my other posts, I'm not sure the AI is in tune with good roster building since we have 4 SG's and 1 PF who is a 70ish overall starting).

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I just tried playing this game again since December 2016 and I no longer know what's changed.

Any tips for a new career? How to gain the attributes in practice? I've read before about asking to practice with team mate (L2 + R2?) and you also get extra +1 attribute?

I'm glad to hear at least that its not just me this happened too. Although it does suck. And I agree I feel like every year I end up on a team loaded with guards and no PF or Centers, and then end up playing half the game with a guard at PF. I tried requesting a trade to the team I wanted that I didn't get to sign with in free agency because they weren't interested, I think they're interest level now was like 50 percent so we'll see how it goes...

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I think we are 11-2 to start the season. I simmed last 2 games. I wanted to get to the point where Ben Simmons is back. So he is back and getting 29 minutes. Really changes our rotation. Covington goes from 24 minutes to now just 9 minutes. He was actually our main 3pt shooter. So really changes up offense.
But I'm looking forward to see how it goes now. Even though we run the Warriors offense, we are going to go a more inside game. Millsap only attempts like 5 shots a game. Embiid only attempts 1 3pt a game. Simmons will never be a good shooter. I score mainly off fastbreak, FT, ISO. So Justice is only 3pt shooter in starting lineup. Simmons is better defender and size/athleticism than Covington. But we will miss his 3pt shooting.

What are other things I can get out of team practice? And how to get them?

I believe they patched the practice thing that gives you the +1 multiple times in the same practice (someone can correct me if I'm wrong though). I basically just say no whenever I'm asked and every third practice doing that I end up getting a +1. It stinks because unless you're dedicated to one player, something like draw foul or hands never go up that much since I get a guy to my liking then stop.

In terms of stamina, hustle and reaction time, that's a grind. I make a choice depending on how I feel at the time when I'm grinding a new character for that. Either I focus on the badges first and skip optional practices, using team practices to get all those up including free throw. Or I go all in early in the season every practice to unlock attributes and get all those stats up. If you're an online player then you'll probably want to do the latter. If you're an offline, you can probably get away with just going at your leisure there.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

Can someone tell me, if you get the park upgrades for reaching Superstar, do they apply to any of your players or just the one you earned it with?

I have at least 2 players, a PG and a C and I might do another one. I'm still in the All Star range though

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

So I started a new Playmaker career today in order to see how it is with the new tendency updates and had a bittersweet moment. I got drafted to the Lakers which I very much am into being a Lakers fan but kind of forgot that with the way they ended the season, their rotation wasn't with their top players.

This means that there's no Nick Young, Tarik or Metta in favor of Justice and Denver being on the team. Deng nor Brewer are getting any minutes meaning there's no official back up three guard. I hope that this doesn't mess things up in terms of line ups, I saved up so much VC for this career over two weeks to start him off at a decent level and be my last player for this 2K that I really wanted to make it count but I guess it's a nice challenge.
