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?

You might have something blocking it up. Try going round all the places cutscenes happen, so your mycourt (walk over to the tv couch), the NBA store, and the barbers.

I do know it has absolutely nothing to do with that gatorade objective though. Do you have anything else outstanding in your objectives?

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

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

I made a 6'6 pure playmaker on the wolves and have absolutely killed it (HoF). I averaged 23/11/24 in my first season, then signed KD & PG in the offseason, and I'm now averaging 22/11/29 midway through December. KAT was injured for 2 months, so I asked to trade for Whiteside, and was amazed when he landed, and he's been an even better center for me than KAT (better at catching lobs and rebounding), so I've now got a decision on my hands when he returns to fitness.

I was struggling at the start of season one with the same issues you seem to be having, but then the team traded for Jon Leuer (not my suggestion) and we were transformed as he was knocking down 3's, which spread the floor really nicely for me. I think team chemistry is quite important this year, so maybe you need to get that up?

Playing 5-out (it's really 4 out, 1 in) is also important because spacing and overcrowding can be a real issue.

Hi, i solved the problem winning playground games. When i reached the necessary amount for Gatorade Brian wrote me. And gave me almost 5500 VC
All the money stocked for previous matches

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Finally reached the halfway point from 89 to 90 overall and I’m planning ahead for next season with how I want the roster to look.

Pretty much, I wanna keep myself and Harden but where I want each of us playing yet I don’t know. I really wanna run the point because it gives me a huge matchup advantage and limits Harden’s ball hogging tendency. I want a center who can keep possessions alive with OREBs and block shots defensively, pretty much Whiteside, Dwight, Capela, KAT or a second year player on the Mavs called Dylan Leonard who I played with in the rising stars game last year and he was so much fun, even though he’s not so highly rated in the game.

If I was to run point with Harden at the 2, I want a shooting 3 and an all rounder at the 4. Someone like KD or Hayward. And I’m happy with JaMychal Green at 4 but somebody with a more advanced game would be great. Again, San Antonio have a second year guy who has a really nice inside-outside game.

In terms of guys out, I feel like we don’t need CP3 anymore and Ben Gordon is the whole reason I’ve wanted to reach 90 overall since I arrived in Houston.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

The cutscenes are such a buzzkill; on the court I'm three inches taller than Embiid - in the cutscenes, he's got about 9 inches on me.

And that pop a shot game is loud as ****; you can hear it all the way from Main Street news. It was actually a relief to see someone play it; hasn't been touched since launch week. In the Neighborhood trailer they made the 2K Zone look like the party zone; now it's the Dead Zone - do your daily picks and sprint out of there, and occasionally see someone buy headphones.

Honestly the whole Neighborhood just needs to be condensed into the buildings surrounding the Playground; so much needless jogging. 2K should partner with Rockstar and just put the Playground in GTA Online.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

I play with the Wolves my 26 games in, im starting now but my issue is Jimmy Butler is on the bench and Wiggins is starting. Was hoping that somehow Jimmy wouls start and Wiggins will be playing off the bench. This sucks

Yea the cutscenes irk me too!! I'm 6'6 on the court but because the actor they got to play dj is only 6'1 so thats how it shows up in the cutscenes. I don't know how they let this slide, wish they would fix it in a patch.

I'll average those numbers.. at least really close in the rookie season.. having KAT and Butler injured together the first two months effed up the team.. especially Butler.. and I'm grinding to OVR 90.. just to TRY and get Butler back in the starting 5. He's listed as 26 minutes but only plays 15 and his statline through 52 games.. 8.7/3.9/3.1 stinks..something I just now noticed.. before playing Atlanta..Butler doesn't even take part in the shootaround.. he is the guy under the bucket passing to everybody else!

2K has Gorgui getting lit up most games I play, Tyus NEVER plays

.. 88 OVR now and 89% to next upgrades.. unfortunately I don't have enough time to just play season games every day or anything

I was trying to grind in Pro-AM but got sick of my 6'5 SG being stuck as a Center guarding an AI center.. because people leave.. then I would just continually flunk out of the teammate grade as I got killed on the glass and in the paint

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Game crapped on me AGAIN.. not that I'm not used to it in this career

ANOTHER BLOWOUT loss.. 126-105 to Atlanta this time.. team shot 41% so we're right on course with every other loss. Atlanta of course shot lights out.. 45% for 3 50% for the game.

Dieng once again got eaten alive in the paint.. Atlanta had 58 points in the paint, and he played 40 minutes!.. and besides that nobody guarded them outside.. 14 of 31 from deep..

The 9th TWolves LOSS when I have a triple double this season, all since the last update I got

[DHMN69]

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

So much for grinding to 90 the last 2 months.. I was 88 OVR..and I'm still 88 OVR.. didn't even get to 89

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

In the midst of another blowout.. down 20 to Toronto in the 3rd.. this TWolves team is shooting 37% in this one.. what a joke! Down 16 after 3.. and NOW the team .. besides me is shooting almost 36% 14 of 39 shots.. I can't even get an assist as they miss "bunnies" .. they shot 2 of 11.. and those two were Jimmy Butler.. who I'm throwing to every single time I touch it now

Wow.. lost by 33... 110-77 ..Shammy giving me crap saying my free throws were crap.. that's more 2K b.s. cut scene since I was 9/11 from the line.. as usual..

Team final shooting % was 37% .. the rest of the TEAM shot 30% while I was 50% Realistically we we should be competitive with Toronto I'm sure.. but Wiggins 5 for 15, Butler 3 for 9 (still not starting) Lawson 1 for 5 Shammy 1 for 6.

Thibs would be FIRED for this in "real life".. this is 7 losses in a row! We are now the 8th seed in the West after being the #2 seed before the game broke my Wolves. Again my TWolves team is 3 wins in the last 18 games.. .. from 25-11 to 25-26

A seriously telling number.. Team stats.. I have the BEST shooting % defense.. opponent shot % is .454 .. BUT we give up the most made 3's and highest 3 point % in the league.. giving up ALMOST 12 per game now and at 40% clip. NO way to defend the game doing that.. we've given up 100 MORE 3's made and nearly 100 more shot against us than anyone.. and 200 more 3's shot against than the team 2 spots down

The numbers don't lie.. my 2K TWolves team took a giant dump with the update download back in November.. doesn't help that I have no center on this team.. KAT will end up playing a total of 30 games.. and Butler has started 15 of the 37 games he's played after game 54

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Time for a drastic move I guess.. dropping from Hall of Fame to Superstar for a game before work Thursday.. never not played HOF difficulty.. just sick of teammates not doing ANYTHING

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

I'm at a crossroads right now.
Currently I have 2 90 players and I don't know how to proceed. I'm thinking of making a 3rd build that's athletic since my 1st 2 builds are slow and use that 3rd build(joining a ProAm team as a mercenary) to make a case into the 2K eLeague. I'm looking in many areas and the position needed most is a PF. Not sure if I will go there but it has me thinking. The other direction is staying put with my 2 characters and just doing the MyCareer for those characters. I'm in end of December/start of January in the 1st season on both accounts so it is feasible that I finish the season on both. MyCareer against the CPU can get repetitive though and I have most of the badges on both builds.

Probably thinking of just going to make a ProAm team around 1 of the main 2 builds.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

i am a pure offline player, so i started my career in first week of november with playmaking shot creator 6`4 i was thinking that i wanna start at 80 ovrl and start the second one as 85 ovrl.
So i but a 75k vc pack + 40k that i already have; 120k cots me to upgrade to 80, started the season offline and feel pretty good; 30 games into the season and i already have the money to upgrade to 85, ok i did it, another 30 games and i buy a one moneth ps plus fot the objetives , i also play my first park games of my life and was pretty much a disaster, now i have 45-144 (still people chesse on me) so i have money to upgrade to 90, did it. iam 4 games ultil the start of the playoffs of my rookie season and i already have an 90 ovrl, i think that it will be much more difficult to reach 90. i never chesse with methoth , i only play 12 minutes quarter in ss and i average 30p 8r 15ass that are 20-23k exp thats how long it take me to reach 90
