Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

In my second year I've finally gotten DSJ and Luka to averaging 20ppg and 19 respectively. It's very difficult trying to keep other people's scoring up and yours down, even when you're running PG.

The CPU Luka just doesn't play like himself. I don't necessarily want him jacking 3-4 step backs a game like he does but it'd be nice if he would attempt to take over more often. Also, when the CPU has takeover, they're not aggressive enough. DSJ should be able to blow past his man constantly with takeover.

The other day i had the sickest pass tho.

The play was breaking down, shot clock running down. I posted up on theleft elbow to protect the ball and DSJ was top of the key, when i post spinned i immediately flashy passed to DSJ who decided to make a cut. I no looked to DSJ for the MONSTER contact dunk in the paint. Oh man, it was great.

Thats how it was last year as well. There is no team management IQ in My career at all. You always see log jams and either lopsided trades or trades that don't help either team. Last year, I signed with the Kings in 2nd the season. I was a Center. We ended up having 5 of 6 bench players being PFs or Centers. Lineups were terrible. It wasn't until I got to 90 that I was able to suggest trades and made the team better

Starting 5 for Memphis Grizzlies (2nd Season)

1. Me (94 Overall)
2. Klay Thompson
3. Kevin Durant
4. Kristaps Porzingis
5. Marc Gasol

Bench
Hassan Whiteside


Only 6 people to get minutes on my squad. Influencing Free Agents or whatever its called is a straight up cheat code lol. Currently 41-0 averaging 120 points on HOF difficulty. Sounds cheesy but I'm just trying to get to 95 overall to make this rebirth build.

Yeah it is.

On mine it’s:

1. Me 6’8” SF(Point-Forward)
2. Harris/Butler
3. LeBron
4. Porzingis
5. Whiteside

Ball, Kuzma, and Ingram

I’ve been experimenting with Whiteside coming off the bench and adding Hart to rotation but his effect has been minimal.

What is rebirth when you reach 95 OVR?

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Your next character you create will start out with 1 million or so MyPoints and primary badges maxed. You'll have enough cap upgrades available to boost up to 88 or 89 OVR. You don't receive VC. But I imagine once you get to 95, you'll have a lot of VC saved up anyway.
I think that is best if you are going to create a pure build. Like if you create a pure Sharp, you have Hall of Fame shooting badges to start out without grinding.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

My first two games as a Hornet were ok at best. Mainly have to adjust to new system. Shot terribly in both games. I had double doubles though. Blocking was my strong suit. Had 5 blocks first game and 3 in second game. Team as it is now, it's not a good team. So not alot of wins coming up. But not big deal. Want to get a decent pick to get a rookie that can help us out next season. I'm just playing for next season. They actually run plays for me so that gives me more opportunities on offense. But just don't like the plays they call for me. I got mostly high post or elbow looks or if I get a mismatch they pass me the ball in the low post. But I'm not a iso or post scorer. I'm not a knock down shooter. Still working on adjusting jumpshot. Hopefully lower difficulty will help that. I rather come off screens and get handoffs, and score off of hustle plays. We have 2 bronze dimers in starting lineup. I don't like when MKG gets in the game. All he likes to do is shoot post fades and not pass. Just can't wait until next season when I try to get players that I can win with and get a new playbook


I just got cap breaker. It got me to a 89 OVR cap. I'm at 83 right now. I read online that my build only needs one cap breaker to get from 89 to 90. So that really changes up my approach. I should be able to get cap breaker in remaining 31 games. It'll take me about 55K VC from here to get to 90 from where I'm at. So I'll be able to just play all the games and play other modes to get VC. So now it changes up my approach. I'm debating on dropping difficulty down. HoF leaves little margin for error. I'll get next cap breaker by end of season even on lower difficulty. Might play a few more games on HOF just to max 2 more badges. I'm working on Gold Pick Dodger and Bruiser. It should take me 4 more games to get Pick Dodger. Hopefully will get Bruiser as well. After that, I just want Pick and Pop and Catch and Shoot to Silver. Might be better off with lower difficulty to get that. I just Steal to 85. Will work on Block then Mid Range. After those Ratings and Badges, I'll be comfortable where I'm at. So all I will be working on is cap breaker and earning VC. I haven't really bought animations. Need some better dunks. Hopefully I get Layup for next cap breaker. It will get me to 70 Layup which unlocks more packages for me

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Is it still possible to change sneaker deals? I’m signed with Jordan and I’ve worn Nike’s for like the last 10 games. I thought it was supposed to drop you at some point?

Looking forward to the Ruffles Ridge challenge from 1200pm-400 est.

It has actual matchmaking which makes it a breeze to get in and out of matches. As I’ve said before, the playground needs a similar matchmaking. The waits to start a match can be frustrating.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Have got my player up to 91 overall as a shot creating sharp shooter. Am on the Celtics, I have a question in regards to the playbooks as I'm trying to play a motion based offense, is there a specific playbook for this or what changes would I have to make to get this type of play? A bit over my head trying to figure out how to set that up.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Played 2 games last night only because they had a daily bonus where you receive 5000 VC for 2 games with B Teammate Grade. I only played until I could sim and receive VC. I bumped down Difficulty down from HoF to Superstar. That made a big difference for me in gameplay. I actually saw CPU missing shots. I was able to make some contested layups and was able to actually take advantage of Gold Defensive Stopper. I will stick with that difficulty. I am 5 games away from All Star Break. Social Media said I was last player picked on team.
With that 5000 VC, I also got a Nike Endorsement for 3750VC(Since I declined Incentives and shoes), and VC from those games. So I had over 12K VC. I used 10K of that do the initial max of Mid Range up to 68 and rest to other ratings. I am up to 84 OVR next rating I boost will get me to 85. All I can boost is Block, Stamina, Strength, Vertical, Pass, and Post. The most expensive to max is Block and Stamina. But those are the 2 that I don't really have to boost. I have no problem getting blocks and with Stamina at 91, I don't get fatigued until late in game. But I will probably do Block, then Strength. I really want to buy some dunk animations. I hope I get layup with my next cap breaker. I really have to work on my jumper. My timing is too inconsistent.
I'm really just playing rest of this season only for Cap breaker to get to 90. I'm comfortable with Ratings. I'm 1-2 games from maxing Bruiser and Pick Dodger to Gold. Those were the main ones I wanted. Besides that I do want to work on Pick Popper and Catch and Shoot to Silver. I just got ability to adjust minutes and rotation. But not overly concerned about that until next season.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I bumped my game back down to all star from HOF. I can get LeBron, Porzingis, Butler and Whiteside to play like themselves, I get pretty much the same MyPoints at 91ovr as I would on HOF and I still win by 20+ every game so it’s not much different other than there’s less frustration.

I liked HoF because it let you progress faster. But once you get your player to a comfortable place. No point to play on HOF unless you are grinding to 99. Too frustrating with CPU not missing shots and user teams having to play perfect to not get blown out

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Compared to last year, I am slightly ahead of where I was last year in MyCareer at the same time of season. It just took me less time because I grinded harder and devoted more time than last year. Key difference is the badge progression. I didnt play a full season last year. But even at same point where I simmed rest of season, my badges are at a further place. I nearly got all badges maxed before All Star break. You gain more points for them in games and in practices drills are easier. You can get a bronze badge in 2 practices and silver badge in 6 practices alone.
By time I get to 2nd season, I will be done progressing my player. I will have key badges maxed, I only care about 90 OVR. I'm not grinding to 99. Don't care about Rebirth at 95. If I'm creating another character, I will do a offline MyLeague. So 2nd season I will play just to play not grind
