Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

They removed being able to get Deep Range Deadeye progress on Pro, something to do with it being too easy.

There are lot bugs in the game,
a friend of mine has a problem with chasedown blocks.
He has a pure Rim C and everytime he made a chasedown block he dont get any Rep for his badge.


Heard People that they dont get any rewards in Rep after games...thats is really a game breaker.

For the past few years, deadeye badges had a very specific requirements just for the badge to activate. I feel Deep Range Deadeye was more reliable than Mid Range Deadeye. DRD triggers more often than MRD. I feel with DRD all is needed to trigger is for opponent to contest the shot. Wheras with MRD, i feel like it has to be a heavily contested shot just to trigger.

But that isn't even to include getting badge progression. You don't always get the progression. I have been working on Pick Pocket Gold. I can get a couple "Poke Ball Free" a game but I haven't received badge progression at all. Takes a lot longer once you get a badge to Silver, especially when you are only getting xp from practices

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

After starting 7-0. I bumped difficulty back up to HOF. Won the next 2 games, then lost the next. I was waiting to lose before I requested a trade. I first requested Jevon Carter. I simmed 2 games and we got him. Then I requested the main player I wanted. He is a rookie 6'10 SF athletic 3 &D wing. I simmed another 2 games and we got him. The funny thing is we traded Jevon Carter for him. So I had to request the 3rd trade to get him back. In total we gave up HernandezGomez, Rookie Center, MKG(my favorite part of trade, had him on reserve). We had a logjam in center. We still have McGee as starter, Zeller on bench, and Mozgov on reserve. I had MKG as the reserve and never have him any minutes, so to get of him was great. We also got Grant(current PF of Thunder)
I put that Rookie SF as the starter over Bridges. He is pretty much similar offensively as Bridges, but he brings defense, more size and athletic. So our bench is Carter, Monk, Bridges, Grant, and Zeller. I like that as our bench. I have to figure out minute rotation. Either give our big 3 major minutes and spread out the rest or give our big 3 33-minutes and balance out the rest. I thinking about not giving Parker or Batum minutes. I prefer 10 man rotations. They would be good for insurance.
I leaning towards bumping difficulty back to Superstar. I played a game after the final trade. I didn't mind losing, but the past frustrations of HOF showed why I stopped. CPU doesn't miss open shots and make good percentage of contested shots. Teammates don't play as well, so you need near perfect game to win games consistently on HOF.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Partially gave up on MC, started a player lock MyLeague as a 6’8” point forward, like an actual point forward, none of that in name and skill set only SF/SG mess, like actually getting to play point and run plays. In the 2019 draft, the Grizzlies picked Zion Williamson #1, RJ Barrett at #7 and traded for me taken by the Celtics at #2.

They signed Eric Bledsoe and Jonas Valanciunas during the off-season because they got rid of Marc Gasol and Mike Conley during the regular season, I kinda helped that by adjusting the trade frequency lol there were a lot of weird trades that took place after that...kinda helped some teams kinda hurt some already struggling teams.

One trade I did make was the Davis to LA trade because I wanted to see how it would play out, the Lakers were beasts and won the NBA title, kinda not surprised.

But back to the Grizzlies, the starting lineup is:

1- Eric Bledsoe
2- RJ Barrett
3- Zion Williamson
4- Jaren Jackson Jr
5- Jonas Valanciunas

Bench

6- Kyle Anderson
7- Me
8- Reggie Bullock
9- Alec Burks
10- Ivan Rabb

The team is solid defensively and offensively but doesn’t really shoot the 3 ball well.

So far the young rookies are doing well, I’m averaging 20, 8 and 8(after a 54 point game where Williamson decided he was gonna foul out early and Barrett decided he couldn’t shoot). Barrett is averaging 18, 4 and 4. Zion is averaging 18, 6 and 5. Jonas is sitting at 10 and 10 and Jackson Jr is sitting at 9, 7 and 2.5 blocks while Bledsoe is putting up about 16 and 7 with almost 3 steals.

Overall I’m having much more fun than playing MC.

Update, we are now 10-2 and in a 4-way tie for best record in the league an a 3-way tie for #1 in the west and 3 games ahead of 8th place. I missed 4 games with a collapsed lung we were 2-2 in those 4 games. I also like being able to get injured as a player it adds a little something to the playing experience.

That is something I have been interested in. I like my 3 & D build. But I still don't like the restrictions of a PF/SF. Where I'm not athletic enough to guard elite level players.
I would want to put my player as a upcoming draftee. Where I pretty much start off in the draft with a custom draft class similar to yours. I don't like the generated 2k draft class. Feels like there is alot of copy and paste. Most players having 80+ 3pt and or decent finishing ability. Rarely do you see non scoring specialists.

If I do, I would wait until after trade deadline. I want another week or 2 with my current build. I only play career games, so to play player lock won't feel different. My main thing would be to restrict my self from creating a OP player. But to not have to grind

You should do it man it’s really fun. I mean my guy is op but not op lol he can’t shoot, post or rebound very well he can drive and pass pretty well and play decent d I’m really benefited by my height and the team they have around my guy. I think the scouts had me as a B- on defense and a C on offense. I can grab boards by being in good position I can score well within the flow of the offense I set people up because they have to account for my guys size when I’m at the point so there are a few mismatches. I’ll post up a few trips in a row to make the cpu think that’s what we’re doing knowing I’m not gonna score from the so they start moving pieces to stop what I’m doing eventually leading to a smaller guard being on one of my bigger forwards or guard and they punish them. Honestly it’s nothing like MC they actually employ some basketball strategy while there’s still glaring legacy issues present it’s much more manageable in a player lock career.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

my problem with player lock is when I sit, I have to control someone else.

When I sit in career, I actually take breaks. I'll step outside to smoke a cigarette. I'll watch from the sidelines to see if my bench can produce. I like when my teammates hit a big 3 and my character stands up to celebrate. It just adds another element to the game.

I also feel like my teammates play better when I don't sim.

I feel like it's programmed into the game that when you sin, your team is supposed to blow 20 point leads. I remember pressing SIM and my teammates missed EVERY SHOT to start the 3rd for SEVEN MINUTES!

I was piiiissed. Like, i push a button and my hard work from the first half is gone!

If you just lock on your specific player it just sims til your next on court appearance, you don’t have to play anyone. I’m testing if you can actually watch on court action with simcast live right now so you can just jump in when your player hits the court if you want but without coach mode fully in the game still idk if you can.

Soo the sim cast thing only works if you’re not a starter and it only works for the first time you’re on the bench. You just have to time your sub outs with when you wanna jump in and out of the games. Like for everything with 2K you can make it work, it’s just more of a hassle than it needs to be lol

I’m trying this right now but in my GM with the Bulls right now since we can use custom rosters and draft classes in the traditional My GM mode. My current my player is 88 overall but if I put all the stats/attributes using a created player, my player rating is an 82 which is ok bc I’m not too OP. Some of the attributes I boosted a little bit or more like round the numbers( 67 shot contest I would put to 70) and so forth. In previous 2ks I always did this in my league but I’m trying it in my GM right now just to experience having to complete goals as a gm, as well and not being unable to edit my created player ratings so he progresses naturally. To make it more interesting before I started the actual season I planned on playing, I did a draft of the current class of Ayton, young and doncic and drafted myself 25th overall. I saved the player dna from that and added him to my custom my GM rosters so that I wouldn’t have to wait until the offseason to draft him lol...it’s been fun so far but I’m thinking of starting over after the trade deadline since I’m not too deep into the season I’m currently playing.

Honestly it’s nothing like MC they actually employ some basketball strategy while there’s still glaring legacy issues present it’s much more manageable in a player lock career.

I'm not sure what type of player I want. I don't want no OP all around build. I have two preferences either a less restrictive build of what I have now or a PG. Where I mold my player similar to a Paul George or Klay Thompson type of Two-Way wing. Or I could go point guard. I would want to go with a Vintage Rose but with alittle better defense. Where I have the elite level athleticism, finishing ability, defend both guard positions, and sprinkle in some playmaking abilty. But not with a consistent jump shot, post game and rebounding.

I might lean towards the PG. Mainly because I wouldn't want to pretty much do the same player I'm doing now. I got him to where I wanted and build the team how I wanted. Plus I can save that build for that next year if they don't improve MyCareer. So I will wait until after the trade deadline to start the PG My League. I will start with the Suns. I will have a custom draft class and add my player to that draft. I will trade off assets for more picks. Then sim to offseason and trade up or down to get my player.

I would build around Me, Booker, and Ayton. That's the one thing I tried to do in MyCareer. That's why I only focused on one career at a time. I wanted to get to 90 OVR so I could have GM abilities. But with MyLeague, I would be able to trade away teammates and not be stuck with logjams.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

So me and Zion are a great combo; over the last 5 games I’m averaging 25.8 ppg, 6 rpg, and 9.2 apg while he’s averaging 25.2 ppg, 7.6 rpg, and 3 apg and he’s coming off a career high 40 point vs the Pelicans where he put on a highlight reel performance.

For the season he’s averaging 20.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 3.9 apg, 1.2 spg and 0.9 bpg and I’m averaging 22.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 8.3 apg 1.1 spg and 0.5 bpg.
We’re the #1 and #2 rookies in most categories.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Traded Taurean Prince and Ivan Rabb because of low morale, both were upset because of their lack of playing time. Prince was getting 20 mpg but I guess he wanted to start. We got Ante Zizic(who was unhappy with the Cavs as well) and a Top 3 protected 1st rounder from the Cavs and sent them a 2nd rounder as well, we also got a 28 year old G-League prospect and a ‘21 2nd rounder from the Nuggets for Rabb.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

So I'm convinced it's tendencies. They keep changing Lukas ratings. I have several seasons with him. First he was only a Playmaker takeover. Then they bumped his midrange and he had a Shotcreator takeover. Now he has the Sharp shooter takeover, but they never updated his tendencies. I cannot get this guy to average 20ppg no matter what character i play on. He's just too passive. I love that he can pass and make plays. But when he's wide, it's very rare he'll take the shot from deep. He always drives in for the middie. Even then, we don't run nearly enough plays for him. His posession tendency needs to be like a 90. We need the ball in his hands all the time. Very rarely does he get the inbound. The PG needs to run down on the break with Luka coming back to take the ball up.

If the game would just give him more posessions i think he could get his numbers up. But even when I'm PG i have to call plays for him.

Just a poo poo job with tendencies.

That's why I wished they allowed us to play with custom rosters. I believe we could before in last gen before all the story lines.
Waiting for official roster updates and current trades, is something I don't want to deal with again. Last year I waited until trade deadline. I didn't have the time to do it this year and won't next year. That's why I wanted a team full of generated players. That way I don't have to worry about players playing like their true selves.

If I don't see improvement next year, I'm either skipping 2k20 or just doing a offline MyLeague player lock from the jump

[illwill10]

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Trying to figure out how I want to rate my new player if I do a MyLeague player lock. Either want him to be rated at a top rookie OVR or a prime version. I don't know how long if I'm going to stick with mode so, not sure if I want to go low or go alittle higher so I can just focus on playing. I made a dummy version and had his OVR at 91. Either I can keep it where it is at or try to get it within 83-85 OVR range. At 91 OVR with his Attributes, he is exactly how I want him. I have to decide.

While I'm waiting to start that, I'm still continuing with my PF build. I do like how I constructed the team. Its an athletic 3 &D team with 3 efficient top scorers. So no deficit is outside of reach. We were down 16 in 3rd. Lead kept fluctuating. Down 11 in 4th, but still managed to come back and win in by 5. I realized I had to play McGee longer minutes. He does an excellent job of rim Protection and we play worse when he isn't on floor. I was only giving him 25 minutes. I bumped him to 30 and our big 3 to 36 minutes. I like our bench but with Monk out a month. Our bench scoring is so so.
Also had to add Post Low as a Priority for me. I took it off before season because I didn't plan on posting up. But with it on, I score efficiently. I started game 4-12 in 1st quarter. But finished the game 13-24 FG.

Our big 3 has performed well to start of season. We each average at least 20pt, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block(i average 2), and 53 % FG.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I've gotta figure out what character I want to put on the Mavs again.

Looks like we need a center now but the only centers worth playing online are Glass Cleaners which would turn Career into easy mode even on HOF. Center is the only position I don't have atm but I really don't want to invest the time in leveling one up.

I have several guards and none of them are true go to scorers. Maybe a Pure Shot creator or a sharp/shot? Then I'm taking away buckets from Luka again.

Idk... What do you guys think?

Projected line up is:

Barea
Hardaway Jr
Luka
Barnes
KP

Looking at that line up PG is glaring, or I could go big and push the line up to bench Barnes.

If new update makes Luka a PG tho then that definitely makes Center the best fit.

Sharp shooting athletic?
