Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Ok so it's not only me who's getting an Error and sent to dash in the 3rd quarter of every other game? Been happening since the last ps4 update, and I've never had any problems with 2k beforehand. Cleared cache and reinstalled game, same probs.

At least yours happen every other game. It has happened for 6 straight games for me. It varies when I get dash boarded. Happened in each quarter.
When was last patch. Can't remember. I know it wasn't happening to me before i got to 90 OVR

Oh man, that stinks...

Hmm...i've played alot of games latley and this never happened to me.
That must be frustrating!
(But i'm not a 90OVR...could upgrade to it...from 87)

You think it has something to do with being 90OVR?...since it started to happen once you hit it..
Because that makes me a but afraid to upgrade to 90...lol

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Just finished my 2nd regular season: 77-5!

We lost to GSW 2x, SAS, HOU and NYK...yes, the Knicks lol

2K+Curry is just the ultimate cheese combo...
He dropped a career high of 66Pts, right in my face...
And i couldn't do anything against it.
He shot 23/34 and went freaking 11/21 from the 3 Pointer...in 34 minutes...it wasn't funny at all.
He scored more than half of his Teams points in this game...

I still had Cutscenes, btw.

One after like 10 games into the season, where you meet with Kyrie on the court and telling him how tired you are, since the season is allmost over...wtf..

The cutscenes leading up to the ASG...since i didn't made the AST in my first season...

The Cutscenes for the NBA2k19 cover...in the '18/'19 season, a year too late...and not just once...i got this cutscene (interview) twice...i don't know why...

Still no Cutscene where my Sponsor is angry about what i said in an interview...

I finished this Season as the MVP and MIP...
28.8ppg/3.6reb/14.7ast/3.4stls

KAT was leading the League for DPOTY...until he got injured...and it went to Drummond.

Shammy won the 3Point Contest and finished the season with 56% from the 3Pointer...

Injury's this Season:
Butler (Minor), Wiggins (Minor), KAT (something with his back...forget what it was but he was out for 10Weeks)
Just finished the 1.Round of the Playoffs (swept the Grizzlies) and Wiggins is allready injured again...

I hit 2 Capbreakers this Season...the 2nd one like 10 games before the Season ended.
Still got not the bars that i hoped for...the second one was for Dunks and Blocks, i think. I don't remember the first one...
Could've upgraded to 90OVR after my first Capbreaker in this season but still decided not to, as i once mentioned i wanna have some big improvements.
...simmed the rest of the Season...like 10 games or so...

Next up:
Playoffs

West:
1.MIN 2.GSW 3.HOU 4.POR
5.OKC 6.SAS 7.NOP 8.MEM

East:
1.CLE 2.TOR 3.BOS 4.DET 5.PHI 6.IND 7.WAS 8.NYK

I want to say it happened once before 90. But it has happened ever since I got to 90. I haven't gotten through a full game.
I don't want to say it was 90 OVR. Maybe it is adjust minutes and playcalls. I don't know. I haven't played in almost 5 days. I will try again today. If It happens again, I'm done for sure. I usually stop playing around Finals anyway. I still have been using MyNBA2k app everyday to get VC. If I can't through a full game, then I will delete that app. Whats the point of stocking VC if there is no games to be played. Plus my Center is pretty much maxed out and I didn't spend VC on accessories. And I don't really like my SF build anyway

Try reinstalling the game. If you're on ps4 you can rebuild the database for your system in the diagnosis menu (hold power button for second beep when system is off)

I don't know about xbox.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

So, for those like me who have played 3+ seasons on HOF or Superstar difficulty and wondered what kind of havoc you could wreak if you played on Pro...

I'm doing just that in my fourth season. I have 2.5 months of vacation ahead of me (I'm a teacher) and I decided to tackle this "mission" over the summer. I'm four games in with a 91-overall, 6'3" athletic PG whose 3P and mid-range ratings I've gotten up to the mid to high 70s.

Yes, the stats are absurd, and yes I'll probably get bored of this 15 games into the season, but here goes...

Through the first five games I'm averaging:

115.8 PPG, 13.6 RPG, 11.6 APG, and 4.5 SPG


Has anyone else tried this for fun?

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Putting up absurd numbers isn't fun for me. I'd much rather be like an 18-er if i could trust my teammates to make shots!

Agreed. When I was able to play with my Center, putting up crazy numbers wasn't a priority. Yeah it was easy to put up 20 rebounds and 3+ blocks, but that's how it has been for bigs last several years. With my scoring, I just tried to be efficient. Where my goal was between 12-17 FG attempts a game. I let the game flow dictate my scoring. If I tried, i could easily average 30-40. But I rather play a team style approach. If my guys consistently step up, I'm okay in not carrying load. I rather have 5-7 guys with double digit scoring each game, then for my to get over 30 points.

Nope no luck lol.
Deleted and reinstalled game. Was thinking to sim rest of game when I got to 3rd quarter. Then I thought might as well try to finish whole game. But didn't get to 3rd quarter. I got dashboarded with a couple minutes left in 2nd quarter.
I'm done unless there is another patch. I'm deleting the MyNBA2k app

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

The new Patch allowed me to play a full game finally after weeks. We had a good game versus the Nuggets. With me adjusting the play call priorities, players played more to their strengths and my desired team scheme. We had 3 players with 20+ Points. I had a 20-20 and 4 blocks, Fox had 20, and Cook had 29 points. Cook is a lethal scorer. I made sure to put his play call Priorities to Post Low, Mid Range, 3pt, and Isolation because his ratings allow him to score in almost everyway. Defensively we played good. Jokic went off on me, but everyone else was held in check.

If I can continue to play without being dashboarded, I will just focus on playing games only. Despite being 90, my player is pretty much maxed out. Only badges I don't have is Post Badges, but my post rating is 66 and playing on HoF, I can score off of post anyway. Only 2 badges I'm really working on is Gold Putback and Bruiser. Bruiser will take a while. But I should get Gold Putback in 2 games. So no point of practice. I didn't really like my SF Sharp/Playmaker because player isn't athletic enough to score off driving and defensive liability. So no point of focusing on VC. So will just play games with my Center until I'm tired of it

Had a career game last night with my pure athletic 7'. I had 24 points and 12 rebounds in the 1st quarter! Lol on HOF!!!

Legit no way the CPU can handle me. Lol

Rebouhds are always easy to snag lol. Especially when not facing a hustle Rebounder. 20 rebounds in a game in the minimum
Making my Center a Shot Creator was a bad decision. Because all it really gives me is a decent Mid Range and Mid Range Deadeye. But at most I might only take 2 Mid Range shots in a game. And most games I don't take a shot. If I were to do it all over again, I would have made an Athletic secondary. That way, I would have more speed, better finishing ability, and more lateral Quickness.

But I'm pretty much a 20 point scorer. I score mostly off of hustle plays and off of PnR. Only time I score a lot is when I'm aggressive and get to free throw line. But its been a while since I got more than 5 FTs in a game. I try to be an efficient scorer and play within the flow of offense. I helped influence a good roster. That Generated player Cook can easily score for 30 a night when he isn't cold. Full of shooters, versatility, defense, and athleticism. So I just try to play my part

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyCareer Thread

Played another full game. So it looks like I'm good to continue with this career. Only problem was that it didn't save my rotations or playcalls like it did for the first game. I started the game and noticed it was the changed rotations, restarted and changing the rotation again. But it still reverted back. We won, but I didn't like the rotation. They moved Cook back to his natural PF position. I don't like him at PF mainly because he doesn't get many touches on offense. At SF, he will get around 14-20 FGA. At PF, He has his good games, but most of the he will get 6-10 FGA.
I think that happened because I didn't readjust rotation before I loaded up the game. I did it before my next game and loaded up game and lineup didn't revert. So I know that I have to change playcalls right before the game. But last game would have been a blowout win if I had my lineup in. With Cook at SF, he is able to score in transition/Fastbreak. At PF, he rarely scores off of Fastbreak. So it's an extra 10+ points he can score at the SF position.
