I'm in my 4th season as a 3pt Specialist PG. Won the NBA Finals (and Finals MVP) with the Clippers after my 3rd season, but I was tired of the coach benching me for a 70 overall guy if I made a stupid mistake, so I left and joined the Pacers in the off-season because they wanted me to be their go-to-guy. Loving playing with Paul George and Granger so far, but I'm really not liking playing with Hibbert. He just doesn't fit my PG style. So, whenever I get the chance I'm going to request a few trades for a new Center. I don't even care if they trade George or Granger for them either. That's how much I dislike playing with Hibbert. We're currently in 2nd place in the East and i'm leading the NBA in All-Star votes. Which is pretty remarkable considering I've never been an All-Star. There are various reasons for that, but I don't feel like getting into it because this post is already too long as it stands now, haha. Still haven't made my shoe yet, but my guy is only 22, so I'm not too worried about it. I figure after I am named an All-Star and finish with 25p-10a per game averages this year I'll end up getting one.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
Still can't make layups on the road.. easy put backs after an offensive layup will not fall.. shot 2 of 6 in the first quarter in Milwaukee the game I currently am in..
First time I've seen the excessive offensive rebounding people have talked about.. Ekpe Udoh averages just over 3 TOTAL rebounds per game his career and has 3 in the first quarter of this game.View Through My Lens sports photography

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
i've been taking my games pretty seriously as of late and stopped starting over w/new guys. created a 6-8' sf and got drafted to the suns (my fav team) and played every game and ended up winning RoY award and missing out on 6th man since i ended up starting the last week or so of the season :|. we ended up being a 30 win team and at the start of the season after being a bench player mysteriously again, i requested a trade to whoever. i didn't pick any teams 'cause i wanted to go to a team that would hopefully utilize me. turns out i was traded w/kendall marshall for deron williams and andray blatche. i was initially excited but after realizing that our team plays 0 defense i am surprised we're 2-8 so far.
anyways, put in a request to get lopez the eff out of there for any other big center. we'll see if he gets traded. since williams is gone i decided to play like lebron and handle the ball a ton. it's kinda fun. hopefully the suns will make me a good offer in FA|| rv motion graphics. ||Comment

You can fix this by saving and quitting and then loading the game again.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
Monta Ellis ended up going 12 of 39 for the Bucks in that game.. 39 field goal attempts??? 109 total shot attempts with the 20 offensive rebounds..
My SF/SG/PF only shot 6 of 15 but lots of free throws.. 7 of 10 thereView Through My Lens sports photography

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
suns have a lot of them. If you're a pg then you get all the key games vs the superstar pgs
and they have rivals against the mavs, spurs and lakers which you play each team 3 - 4 times in the seasonComment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
I got drafted to the Magic and just lost 141-80 in my 5th game against the Brooklyn Nets in MyCareer - like the 3rd biggest loss in NBA History. They shot 70% from the field in the first half on Hall of Fame / Simulation.
I want to get the Defensive Anchor sig skill but it's more of a "big man" sig skill rather than one a 6'1" point guard would have.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
In my current career I think I am experiencing every up and down that makes up the mode.
Created an athletic PG, got drafted 15th by Phily. Stuck behind Jrue his is just awesome in this game. After the first season I asked to be traded to Detroit.
Turns out that Detroit had signed Dwight Howard! So they had twin towers of Monroe and Howard. Unfortunately they also had Stuckey, Nate Robinson and Brandon Knight.
I started playing well and coach started starting me at SG. Unfortunately this sucks because you don't get any of the key games for matching up at the best of your position. So I started doing a lot of blacktop and using that to improve faster.
No matter what I did I couldn't seem to get the starting PG spot, and then when I would sim some games I would often lose my starting spot entirely.
By the time the playoffs arrived Dwight Howard went down with a torn MCL and is out for 8-10 months. I decided to sim to next key game and amazingly we were up 3-0 on the 5th seed Bulls.
We swept them (without Howard). I went to the next key game and we were up 3-2 on the 76ers. And Greg Monroe was hurt too! Also, coach kept screwing with my playing time moving me between the bench and the starting rotation. often I'd earn 'more' minutes and get put on the bench. Also stupid is that the coach insists on playing the 10-12th men for a few minutes a game even though this is the playoffs!
We won that game and went on to face the #2 seed Pacers. (Ironically in RL I am a Pacers fan and hate the Pistons). I decided to play out the series, each game. Again I kept get moved between the bench and starting lineup and my minutes are all over the place regardless of performance. I had one game where I won player of the game and got a D teammate rating because of all kinds of random crap (once my own player bumped into me, knocked the ball out of my hand and it was taken and dunked by the other team, not to mention all the near unstoppable Paul George alley-oops).
We went up 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, each time the Pacers came back and each time it felt like the CPU was deciding which team was going to play well. We got to game 7 and again I'm on the bench despite putting up a 30-8-7 line (my best game ever) with an A- teammate rating in game 6. So I barely play in the first half and we are down big in the 3rd. I make a couple good plays, get us within 6 and then get yanked again.
They put me in for the 4th we are down by 5, I play one possession and we get yanked again. I get put back in at 5:45 to go down by 2. I manage to get us the lead but the matchups are terrible and my guys keep missing open shots. Understand I have Dimer and Floor General, but our starting lineup is Me, Rodney Stuckey or Nate Robinson, Tashayn Prince, Tyler Hansborough and Jason Maxiel, against the full strength Pacers.
Tied with 26 seconds left, I get fouled going to the hole with 5 seconds left and make 1 of 2 (this is my first miss in like 30 FT). Then David West scores instantly off the inbounds (no defense as usual).
With 1.9 left I get the inbound and gun a 3 (I have a 74 3-pointer rating). SWISH! WE ARE GOING TO THE FINALS
Of course, the press conference people don't mention the buzzer beater at all. Nor does the 'social media' people.
I'm now back as a starter but somehow my minutes have declined.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
Some questions i have are
1) How can i make it so that my simulated stats and especially scoring are higher for my sg. I am a decent scoring sg 89 overall but i want to take more shots in sumulated games so my avg goes up. Will this happen automatically when i sign a new contract and become a ''go to guy'' ? I don't really have another high scorer on my team thats ''stealing'' my points if you get what i mean.
What helped out the most I think is the "Shot Creator" signature skill. I basically looked at what skills all the top scorers in the league had, and shot creator is the most common.
If you want your guy to be a scoring machine when you simulate so your averages don't go down, get all the sig. skills that Kevin Durant has. They're all offensive skills, shot creator, spot-up shooter, dead eye, microwave, anti-freeze.My NBA 2K Live Streams on YouTube - Diary of a Made ManComment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
I am not going to touch the trade suggestion at all. I asked for a 71 OVR PF and we traded away Ewing(80 OVR) and John Jenkins(73 OVR) for the PF and Avery Bradley(81 OVR). On Paper it looks like a good trade, but it isnt. The PF can rebound and block shots and Bradley provides a lockdown defender and can actually knockdown shots, but I wished we kept at least one of those SGs. Jenkins was very good off the bench and Ewing looked promising. Bradley isnt as aggressive shooter as Ewing. Courtney Lee isnt the same player he was 2 years ago.Last edited by illwill10; 11-06-2012, 12:16 AM.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
I played the 1st game with the new lineup. We lost to the Timberwolves. It was on me. It wasnt the TOs(only 3). This is the first game where I can actually say I got shut down. I had 11pts, but I got shut down to only 5 shot attempts the WHOLE game. Losing Ewing and Jenkins, changed the identity of our team. We went from a offensive team to a defensive team.
I got selected to my 3rd All Star Game. I am week away from ASW. I am tired of getting selected to the Dunk Contest. I rather do the 3pt contest.
I had no success getting pick pocket steals since buying Pick Pocket Lvl 3. I am getting nothing buy reach calls. The thing is CPU rarely tries to break down their defender. And when they do, they get you into a angle where you dont want to attempt a steal.Last edited by illwill10; 11-06-2012, 12:22 AM.Comment
