    Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

    FINALLY got to 92 overall. the grind in this game is ridiculous. but at least i don't have to go to the gym anymore.

    i'm in the 2024-25 season now. Last season was lebron's final one, and i thought it was only fitting I play with him before he retires. so I recruited him (along with anthony davis) to the team. Now that he's gone I got devin booker on the team so the lineup is

    PG Lonzo (90 ovr)
    SG Devin booker
    SF Anthony Davis
    PF KAT
    C Me

    Some of the rookies/other generated players are fun to play against, but i hope the game puts more challenging ones in cause i'm getting bored

      When I was grinding for mid-range deadeye, 3 stars got you 1200. Now it's like 940

      Sure wish they'd patch people not getting VC in playoff games if you simmed your way there..............
      Hell yeah they did i guess they didnt there would be alot of 99 this soon

        Playing for the Hornets... it's rough when they start Kidd - Gilchrist with Dwight and Derrick Favors in a space the floor freelance [emoji55]

        We do just fine with Batum as the starter!

          Put up 86 points last night in an OT loss with the Dubs last night. After the game they gave me a cut scene where Booboo was telling me how some games shots just won't fall and to shake it off for next game. This was game 2 of the Western conference finals and I was home. So... They have scripted playoff games too?

          I'm super done with career.

            I want us to start Josh Jackson over Warren. Jackson started one game a few games ago. He didn't have a good statical game, but same could be said about Warren. Most of his looks are catch and shoot 3s and contested inside shots both of which he isnt good at. Jackson played well in his only start. Good on perimeter defense, got steals, and was excellence in transition. We switched back and forth with Knight and Ulis at PG.
            Payron got injured after 3rd game and still out for another 8-10 weeks. Our team would play a lot better with his defense, bronze dimer, and mid range. But most likey won't play with him. I still have full plans on simming rest of season after All Star break. I have about 5-6 weeks before that

              When I started career, I had a ton of VC saved up and used it to max key ratings including speed. But most of the games, I struggled to score or wasn't aggressive. I score 20 five times in first 30 or so games and most of the rest under 10 points. But I started improving Acceleration and I seen immediate results after maxing it. I reach my full speed quicker. So now, I can blow by most centers for easy buckets or get to foul line and get them in foul troubles. Last 3 games, I averaged 28 points, 25 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 1.5 steals in 3 straight wins. So now it isn't as difficult to score.
              Im 4800 XP away from Silver Pick and Roller. I should get that in my next 8 drills. After that, I will work on Silver Mid Range Deadeye. I tried working on Post Badges, but for some reason it is very difficult than expected to do drills. Yeah my post ratings maxes low at 67 and I'm at 66, but you have to post move correctly for you to get points and scoring doesn't matter.

                I was on the Lakers but left for the Heat. The billboards around town are saying "Get your tickets now! Heat.com" with Lonzo Ball on the billboard [emoji23]

                Also, my two way stretch can get mid range deadeye...but when I look at my list of badges to do drills, it doesn't show up? [emoji848]

                The easy way to do it is when you get the ball in the post, hold down L2 but move away from your defender (towards the 3 pt line) they won't follow you there and you can do whatever post move you want without any hassle

                  Pick n roll , dribble drive every time. It helps to be a pg and have a center that can catch oops

                    This is because those badges are split between two, usually the primary, and catch and shoot. Once you've maxed the other badge you don't get points towards it, though you do still get the 1200 overall towards you CAP.

                      Even if they'd left things the way they were, getting to 99 is still an insane grind.

                      They just like to make things inconvenient and difficult for us.

                      I still can't believe to start a walk-on game you have to load player--->join neighborhood--->go to arena--->wait

                      It should just be this...

                      1. Pick the player you want
                      2. Invite friends to lobby

                        Its going to take me a long time to improve in general. I don't even want 99. I want 96 where you get double VC.
                        I only.get 10-11k VC for my good games. So currently it takes 8-10 games to get a cap breaker. I can imagine how long it takes after 90
