What position is Justice if your MyPlayer is a PG?

When you attend every practice even the optional ones like I've been doing the commentary notices it and relates you to MJ in the games you play.
How he was in the court all the time practicing.
Pretty cool little thing.

But there are people reporting that doing every practice you get tired soon.

I haven't been really noticing that. I have been trying to improve my agility. Maybe that's one way to counter that.

Not every practice. I do one per day, stil heard that. Very cool though

Is one practice per day enough to get you those 25 upgrades?

Starting to think a lot of the changes in this mode are surface changes. There's no depth to the drills or weight lifting. Like why does lifting and playing 2v2 give you the same reward (doin work meter). At least last year certain drills gave you boosts. The drills actually seem more simplistic this year when they made it seem like it'd be a deeper system.

It takes awhile even doing every practice to get those upgrades. It'll probably take you some time, but you'll get it eventually.

I remember seeing post-game interviews in a trailer, but i haven't seen any yet. Doesn't Shaq and Ernie interview your player sometimes after a game?

6'2 SG. I'm a 6'2 PG so we have like the smallest backcourt in the league lol.

Yeah same, he's a 6'2 SG, I'm a 6'4 sharpshooter PG. Being drafted to the Timberwolves here makes it seem like a lot of depth at PG and SG. It's kinda unrealistic. Like someone should be traded here come on lol
But I wanna stay with my rookie team and play it out. Stuck at a crossroads haha.

I've been interviewed a few times.

I feel you bro. I made a playmaking point guard and spent 75k vc on him before I figured out his max 3 was a 72 [emoji30]

I also had to start mines over. I had shot creator and made a sharp shooting PG. I got tired of bricking every single 3 pointer, even wide open ones.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

My first update:

I made three characters:

1: Lock-Down-Defender PG: Went 17th to the Nuggets. I averaged 5 steals and 3 blocks a game in college but only 10ppg. Frustrated because that sort of defense would not go that low in reality.

2: Slasher PG: Went 7th to Kings. This guy is a lay-up and-one machine. 90% of the time I drive, I draw fouls. Heck, I get fouls for just standing still, it is funny. Had a 20 free-throw game already with bench minutes. He can't shoot but he drives better then Worthy and Westbrook together.

3: Glass-Cleaner C: By far the easiest position in this year's game... went 1st to Philly. I think I might break Wilt's records this year with this guy.

Hope everyone is having fun.

They missed a great opportunity to make Gym Rat (not sure if it in the game) a great badge this year. This would be the best year to have it since we have different playstyles. People wouldn't complain about the atributes if they were able to boost them like last year.

Getting +5, +10, +15 in any attribute is always welcome.

A 72 rating is plenty good enough to make threes if you have all of the corresponding badges and hot zones and you take good shots in rhythm.

I'm shooting 54% from three in Pro Am with my playmaker PG and all the games I've played so far have been with a three point rating ranging from 60 to 65. Since I got to a 65 rating I'm probably shooting closer to 75%. Most of my misses came when that rating was only at 60.

One of my teammates has a stretch big with a 70 three point rating and he's shooting 64% from three.

A 72 is definitely high enough to be effective.

Re: Official NBA 2K17 MyCareer Thread

I have a PF Stretch Big and a PF Post Scorer and can't figure out which one I like to play better so I can buy a little VC for him.

Now that you say that I think I'm gonna try a class cleaner C. Any tips for playing glass cleaner center? I created one before, it wasn't class cleaner I forget which one I've already deleted it. It was from the Prelude, but I sucked at it. I went like 18th in the draft. I was rated only 56. I don't understand how I went 18th. 56 rating is like undrafted maybe 2nd round. So I lost interest in it.
