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?

Make a non-primary scoring PG

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I’m the new James Harden apparently, I’ve had 4 games of 20-20 from the FT line with 3 in the last 5 games. I’ve had several 10+ FT attempt games as well. I currently lead the league in FTM and FT% at 294 and 99.7% and I’m 3rd in league in FTApg at 8.7, behind AD and Giannis.

It’s amazing how much easier FT shooting is when you have a 90 rating instead of an 81, I can finally use the FT animation I’ve been using since 2k11, D-Wade, with no problems. On past 2Ks before the introduction of the stupid FT Ace badge I was consistently a 93%+ FT shooter.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Do you guys ever take over in close games like the ball is in your hands and forget about the plays being called just iso and whatever you can make happen happens? I’ve played so close game in the last few times I’ve played and I dropped 50, 48, 36 and 36 in those games to make sure my team came out on top. Most games I play within the flow of the offense until we get down by double digits or it’s a close game. Do y’all just let it play out or start to play hero ball? We’ve only lost 3 games where me played hero ball late didn’t work and they were games we were down by 15+ points entering the 4th.

I usually play within flow of offense. With Corey Harris and Marcus Young, we have 3 elite Two Way Players. So we can come back from double digit deficits in the span of minutes. So I don't really have to play hero ball. I usually ruin comebacks by being too aggressive.

But if I do play Hero ball, I get aggressive in the post. For some reason, I'm not able to get those easy screen roll looks like I got last season with this team. But this year, especially since I added Low Post to play priority, I take advantage of mismatches. As a 3 &D PF, I don't have the elite strength or post skills to want to do it against other bigs. But If do play hero ball. I set a screen for PG as soon as they cross Half court so the opposing PG has to switch to me. Without Low Post as priority, I couldn't take advantage without forcing issue. With it as a priority, the play call automatically ends and gives me a Low Post Play. With height, strength, and Gold Bruiser, I can easily back down guards and dunk on them. I do that when I play hero ball. Because if I get hot they will try to double me. With having 6 teammates with 80+ 3pt, it leads to open 3s. Even though I'm a Sharp secondary. I try to not take many 3s. I usually only take 3-5 attempts a game. Even with Silver Badges and a Gold Dimer teammate, my jump shooting isn't consistent enough for me to attempt them frequently.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

In my player lock career with the Grizzlies despite having Saric, Bullock, Joe Harris and Eric Bledsoe we’re shooting 30.7% from 3 as a team which is dead last in the league. We don’t have the ability to come back from big deficits with the 3 ball like some teams so we require someone to force the action to get points inside with possible and one situations and usually that’s me when it’s close because the cpu plays way too timid.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Sorry if I posted this in a wrong thread but I have minutes issue in myCareer mode.

I'm playing second season, OVR 90, won a title with Pelicans. During this season my player plays the whole match, not even a single break to rest on a bench what obviously has a huge impact on my stamina. Manipulation of my minutes didn't help neither. Any clues how to resolve this annoying problem?

During the first season issue didn't occur - I was substituted few times during a match.

Coach likes to assign the My Players at 37-38 minutes once you reach a certain point in the season. If you can set line ups you can change your minutes to under 34 a game. That will keep coach subbing you out more normally.

I still don't like how they distribute the minutes. Have me playing whole 1st quarter, then last 5 minutes of 2nd, whole 3rd, last 5-6 minutes of 4th. Least that is better than the 38 minutes where they have you playing whole 2nd half and fourth fatigued.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I'm bout to start my MyCareer after the trade deadline. Gonna rock a PG, but can't decide between the Suns or the Magic.

Which team will be more fun? I'm leaning towards the Suns as the west is far more competitive than the east. But Magic has Aaron Gordon and the lobs could be a great time.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Coming off a 2 game losing streak in which we shot 24% from 3, we’re shooting 30.2% for the season, we got Bledsoe and Kyle Anderson traded for Bradley Beal and Kyle O’Quinn. Beal has made an immediate impact going 12/18 in his first 2 games. His scoring and 3pt shooting helped us beat a tough Lakers team in a game where LeBron dropped 35 and AD had a triple double with 23, 17 and 10. I put in 32 and dropped 13 dimes to help us pull away in the 4th with us winning 127-113.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Well I just got swept by the Thunder in the 2nd round. I'm on the Lakers, had the best record in the west and was league mvp and still lost. I struggled to score with this build. Next season it turns out we signed Cousins. Definitely an upgrade over Plumlee.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Got our asses handed to us by the Rockets, we gave up a 12 point lead late in the 3rd when I got subbed out. Paul and Harden combined for 71 points and no one wanted to stop the 3 ball. Beal finally went cold and Val got dominated on the boards by Michael Beasley lol.

Is it just me or does the CPU never miss this shot?
