Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Also floaters lol the cpu drains those shots at will

Those and Fades have to be toned down for CPU. IRL, those aren't high percentage shots at all. But in this game on high difficulties, it is an automatic bucket if you don't properly contest it. It's not impossible to defend. I was able to recently get a snatch block on a floater in one of the last games I played. And last season I did block a post fade a couple times and properly contested a post fade. I don't know why they make it so difficult to properly contest a post fade. If you don't, it is almost guaranteed to go in because it pulls your player out of postion and too late to contest.

They need more defensive badges or something. Out side of Rim Protector and Pick Pocket, Defensive badges aren't strong enough to counter offense. Lateral Quickness is king on defense. Without it, you will be put out of postion frequently. I just wish as a undersized PF I would have higher lat quickness

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I don't know anymore. All these people on YouTube dropping 50-60 a night with pure shots, I just can't do it with mine on Hall of Fame. I can average at most 32 ppg. Every game I have is a dog fight.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Anybody got a good MyCareer method for a ShotMaker? I said I won't playing MyCareer anymore but I need to hit 93 overall in order to speedboost with this 6'6 Build. I'm about to hit 91 with him tonight.

I get 70k at half with my PlaySharp but I know I won't be able to spam limitless 3's with the shot creator build SMH.

Exactly! One of the worst parts about it is everyone can hit them. You have bigs hitting floaters with ease when in reality there are very few that can hit it with consistency. Bigs like DeAndre Jordan drop post fades from 17 feet with ease consistently, guards hit post fades over the top of centers/power forwards. A hands up contest doesn’t matter, attempting a shot block contest doesn’t matter, hell, guards will move bigger players completely out of the way to hit these shots and it’s so annoying. I can’t even tune these shots with sliders without it killing the ability for players that are actually good at these shots to actually hit them.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

I started a myplayer for first time, finished the prelude, pretty cool and in depth. I am a SG and chose Hawks with top reserve and 20 minutes. Now I can change settings, what is best for decent stats? What level? What quarter length?

What would probably help is an old badge that removed. They used to have a Post Anchor badge for defense. I think it was in 2k16 or 2k17.
Issue is that either need to boost defensive badges(outside of pick pocket) or add more badges. Defensive badges feels week compared to offensive badges. Defensive Stopper should be a lot stronger than it is. When CPU still makes high percentage od shots, it feels useless. Rim Protector should lower shot percentage or need to add a contest badge. Defensive takeover for Bigs feels really useless. I like my build but not takeover. Doesn't really increase chances of block. It would be great if contesting shots in takeover results in automatic miss.

To start off I would do 12 minute quarters on probably All Star or Superstar. You'll get those 20 minutes. Once you get to starter, they might start giving you 38 minutes after a while. Thats when you can bump it down to 8-10 minutes. Because 38 minutes equals up to 1 hour on 12 minutes quarters.
I still play on 12 minute quarters. Since I can adjust minutes, I bumped down to 34-36 minutes. So it doesn't take as long. Because when they set you at 38 minutes, they can give you 43 minutes. I don't want that many minutes. Even now, once we get a 13pt lead I sim rest of game. If we have deficit, I try to come back. If not, I sim rest of game with VC. I'm not grinding anymore. So I'm trying to speed through games without simming

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Thanks [emoji16][emoji106] played my first game as a Hawk, AS 12 min. We lost 109-101 to the Knicks for season opener. Tough game, but managed 12 points. Son said I can work on badges in training facility and grind out VC as well as in games?

yea after games you can go to practice and you get to choose which badge you work on I believe you get 4 drills after each game. If you get gold you will get 700 points.

You also want to go to the daily spin every day and pick the winner of the real nba games which if your correct you get 100 VC coins per game. You also spend the wheel once per day I always barely spin with any power and usually it will go toward something useful instead of shoes.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Yeah. My suggestion is to turn FT to Real Player % and spend next 2-4 practices on Free Throw drill alone. Even if you just get 400 for the drill. At worse it should only take 4 sets of pracitces

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

So I guess it's a good thing I didn't upgrade my playmaking shot creator higher than a 66. I created him after we traded for KP. Now after trading Barnes last night I gotta restart another career.

I hope we trade for a Center before the day is over as Salah Mehjri is the starting Center right now for my season.

I also hope they change Luka's position. He should be a PG/SF not a SF/SG. That way I would be able to make another SF or PF.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

With the trade deadline passing. I'm debating when to start the Player Lock MyLeague. I might start after the buyout market dries up. That way when I start, I will have most up to date roster.
I won't have much time after mid April. So when I start, I will start my player around 90-91. That way I am at my prime but not too over powered.

Re: Official MyPlayer/MyCareer Thread

Gosh it's just SO hard to get to 99.

I'm on 95 with myplayer and feel like I've played way too much. Ugh. They seriously need to stifle the amount of games to get to 99... A LOT.
