Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

I am playing mycareer on ps4. My agent, Bryan, gave me a task. "Go to the Pro Am Walk On Arena". But I don't have ps plus because I don't play online. What should I do? Is the task very important?

No its not, in the Pro Am Arena u meet some NBA Players like I.Thomas or K.Towns and you get a unnecessary cut scene.

It's just a dumb little cutscene with Embiid.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Pick a **** team, skip the prelude games, simulate first season (**** team so no play-offs), go free agent to the team you want.

You get 5 minutes standard and no more cutscenes with shammy, booboo and the Snotnose crew.

Win win win

Then what's left? Honest question. If you sim to get all your endorsements what's happening in years 2-4 just playing games without any more incentive?

I'm still early and grinding in year 1 because I find it interesting and personally I lose interest once endorsements and cut scenes dry up and it's just games and practice.

This is fun.. Portland's going nuts on us.. shooting 67% on 3's over 3 quarters.. Lillard had 23 points in the first quarter and we're shooting 2 of 13 in the 3rd.. a royal butt kicking we're taking..

Butler's still pathetic on my 2K Wolves.. After finally getting back to double digit points (11) last game, THIS game he's 2 of 9.. can't do anything again, he's shooting 41% for the season.

My favorite stat is this.. we've lost 6 of my last 7 TRIPLE DOUBLES.. we WON all of my first 7 triple doubles before the update that screwed up MY team... we're 3-14 since I got the update.. soon to be 3-15

Make that losses in 7 of my last 8 triple doubles now.. sheesh. I had it down to 8 .. then teammates started double teaming Lillard (who has 46 points, of course I'm not the one guarding him, Teague still sucks at defense, in 2K and real life) and leaving wide open guys all over the court..16 point loss.. we've gone from #2 in the West to #6, but only 2 games out of the top 8.. that's a 25-7 record to 28-22 since the update

I still haven't learned the MAGIC that's supposed to be Shammy Wells shooting.. the guy is garbage in every game..

If there's a plus side.. got my shoe release press conference after this latest loss.. and SI Cover

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread


CP3 has his best game as a Rocket going 30/6/9 against OKC and hitting everything including his final point, a 3 where he is fouled by Westbrook and lands on Westbrook’s foot, straining his Achilles. Harden also picks up an ankle injury and Al Jefferson suffers from shin splints. The game is already won at this point.

The next game, against Charlotte, all three are out. Our lineup is a 63 overall non shooting PG, Gordon, me, Green and Qi. I went full Westbrook. I’ve never shot more than 30 shots in the past 4 or 5 2Ks and im averaging 20 shots per game this season but this was necessary. I knew we would struggle once I saw Gordon starting because he’s useless. I set a new career high in points, FGM and FGA. I now have the Rockets franchise record for points in a game. Qi was huge for us and dominated on the glass.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

That 19 for 53 by the REST of the team looks familiar to my TWolves season.. other than we lose

All depends on which build you have. What you playing with?

What's your archetype?

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Shot Creator/Playmaker PG

Yeah, it's a good build to do a lot of damage with. I created a 6'7 one of these early on in the game but haven't played with him that much, but as soon as the player started getting a few badges, even on bronze, he becomes a different animal.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

What's your archetype?

Mine's the reverse of the previous guy (YannisLB), I made the shot creator/playmaker .. been stuck at 88 OVR for 2 months.. real life makes it harder to play at times.. besides fact that the team has been losing like crazy since the update

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Playing game vs. Golden State now.. never expected to win this game on 2K.. and not even close to doing so.. down 22 to start the 4th.. Butler's minutes are supposed to be 26 per game.. he actually has played 15 this game.. which is more than most games.. despite his allotted himnutes... got him to take 9 shots.. but he's 3 of 9.. still can't hit anything to help the team.. assuming he won't even get in the 4th quarter again.

Since I knew there was no way I'd win this game anyway all I've really done in this game is try to shut down Klay.. he's got 9 in 3 quarters and I wasn't guarding him for part of the second.

I'm the only player on the team in double figures of course.. this Wolves team .. 3 players have 9 each.. .. team is shooting 42% WITH my 9 of 15 (for 26)..

Lost by 30.. didn't get my triple double.. Golden State didn't miss enough shots for me to cash in on rebounds..

Got a locker room speech about an AAU team that got beat by 100.. maybe this is the turning point on all the crap the TWolves have been since the update? Butler never did see the 4th, either..

We're now the 8th seed in the West.. after being the #2 or #3 seed.. won 3 of the last 19 games

[DHMN69]

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

This TWolves team can't even beat the crappy NETS in my 2K down 20 in the 3rd at HOME even..I'm nearly convinced my team is broken but I'm waiting until I hit 90 OVR and see what happens.. been 88 OVR forever now

Well, we lost to the NETS by 37 points.. SERIOUSLY.. 130-97 ..this officially blows..my 6th triple double loss IN A ROW.. and now 3 wins in our last 20 games.. if this were "real life" Thibs would be on the curb already.. (personally, I agree with Shaq and Barkley last night's game on TNT.. the Timberwolves shouldn't be playing the slow methodical crap This coaches.. they could run a lot of the NBA out of arenas)

The team shoots 40%.. I shoot 50% .. but hey.. I'm headed to the practice facility to shoot my shoe commercial..not to spoil this for anyone who actually hasn't gotten there but this is dumb that we can't actually play against Shammy in this commercial and make our own spots for it

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

I was able to finally reach a 90ovr up 3-2 in the finals against the Cavs. Being able to adjust the minutes and lineup was so beneficial. My T’Wolves team destroyed the Cavs by 30

Before the offseason began, I went for it all in my suggestions during FA. I asked the GM to bring in Embiid, KD, and retain KAT. Didn’t think it would happen really. However, once I checked social media and my lineup, all players were signed!!! My lineup is now
Me
Butler
KD
KAT
Embiid

Wiggins
Shammy
Teague
Crawford

Sometimes I will start Wiggins at SF and shift KD to PF while placing Embiid on the bench so that I can play a faster 5-out lineup. This is the most enjoyable team that I’ve had on 2k since 2k15. As a 6’5 slashing playmaker, I am a more refined version of Westbrook. I only score 10-12pts with about 15+ assists and 7+rebs. I’ll be playing with This squad joyfully for each game of this season.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

I don't receive a call from Bryan since 27 february, almost a month. After nine games still no receive endorsment payments.
Before every 3-4 games i went to collect vc from sponsors. Now no more...
Have you experienced the same?
I still have to complete the second task from gatorade (win 5 games on the playgrounds), maybe is this the problem?
