This is correct. Also applies to the other sponsors like Gatorade, etc.

Ahh. Makes sense. Wish it'd just say that.

I am thinking of creating a driving and finishing/defending center with the max wingspan but have the lowest height and weight so it will be faster both in driving and defending. Is this good? I need your opinion guys. thank you

I made this build except I made him 7'0" and around 250. that's a great archetype because you'll be quick, solid defensively, and can dunk on just about anyone

I have a 6'8'' Slashing Shot creator SF. I play for the Pelicans. I play on HOF and I must say even Davis and Cousins struggle in the paint. My teammates lay off people so much at the three point line and barely contest shots. Guys can have a poor 3 point game and feel like a sharp shooter. I've rage quit a lot so far, but i'm in January already. Signed with Jordan. Kind of wish I would have did Nike. Was thinking about putting on a nike shirt and getting my shoe contracted voided and seeing if I can get a Nike deal. I've heard shoe deals last for that season or so. So next year I could switch if I want.

Does anyone play for the Bucks? Having a lot of fun with my 7ft Playmaking Rebounder Center right now on the Knicks, but I'm looking ahead to next season. I think the Bucks would be fun to play for, but I'm wondering how the game translates Giannis's skillset. Is he as much of a beast in gameplay as he is in real life?

Im playing for the Bucks as a center and Giannis is amazing for me, last game he scored 28 points on like 9 shots (Im on superstar) so I would definitely recommend going there.

I just finished my rookie season playing for the Bucks. It doesn't seem like he's aggressive enough because he only averaged 16pts this past season. All the tools are there for him. He just needs to shoot more.

Im a PG on the bucks, i play most games and he seems to defer too much to me. The games ive simmed he drops triple doubles and 30+ points every other game though.

As a team they are fun though, Thon Maker is money from 3 so the pick and pop is lethal haha

That's good to hear! Do you find that he leaks out on the fast break a lot? If he does, I can't wait to throw a bunch of outlet passes to him

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Can someone get a hold of a gameplay dev to speak on the shooting in this game?????

Every single "good" release is a brick. Every single one. It's at a point now where I see a good and instantly know it's not going in and start walking the other way. Slightly early/late seem to be going in almost every time.

I'm convinced there's a system in this game that bases your "excellent timings" on some unknown factor because I see plenty of non filled shot meter bars turn green on me and go in. This is the most random shooting has ever felt in a 2k game for me.

Actually I take the word random back, because my filled up shot meter "good" jumpshot likeliness of clanking the rim is anything but random.

My SG is basura, can't even shoot a j without getting bad shot selection.


I refuse to pay for VC so he's gonna stay that way

Anyone else not getting their shoe contract earnings per game?

You get a check from your agent every few weeks or so

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

How long does it take to get a shoe offer from Nike or Jordan? im 35 games in and have only had offers from Adidas and UA, declined them both

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Made a 7.1 Center Rebounder / Interior Scorer. Basically me except with jumps

anyways, went to Portland. Not a great team fit as they got tons of bigs, but its my team.

Lots of positives i really like, practices, being able to chose which badges to work for etc. The fact that you now earn progress while playing is a big plus.

your room mate though, whoever thought this was ok and then whoever signed it off should be fired. Absolutely cringe worthy.

dont like that i shrink to 6ft in every cut scene, but whatever.

Some game play niggles. I cannot get my guards to pass the ball on a pick and roll. I can be wide open cutting to the basket after a screen and Lillard or whoever will go 1 on 3 against and throw up a prayer that gets blocked every time. I can pick and pop and will get the ball all the time, but never on a cut ...

Also, lobs, almost impossible to get at the moment. NBA not park

Last question, any benefit to playing something other than pro except for a challenge? VC stays the same and i seem to earn more progress on Pro then on Superstar?

i am 40 games in. Had offers from Adidas and UA. Did accept Adidas, and am now on my custom colorway. Signature shoe is "in discussion"

Contract seems to be only for the season so so curious to know if you can switch later to a different brand

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

If you've already started a MyPlayer, can you change your archetypes without losing progress or earned VC?

I created a Michael Jordan clone, but wished I picked an archetype that builds on shooting from 3s.

Thanks
