Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just started a 7'1" 255# rebounding center.
Any recommendations of attributes to boost up? Almost maxxed out my def reb.

Offensive Rebound
Stamina
Shot Close and Inside
Standing Dunk

that's all I can recommend.

Also:
Shoot in Traffic
Vertical (sounds counter-intuitive when you are 7'1" but the stat plays out in the formulas used to determine outcomes of rebounds, putbacks and dunks.)

Sig Skill: Scrapper - really helps a lot. - I'd do this before anything else.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

My 3-point specialist was traded to the Clippers after I complained about Monroe on Detroit...

I am actually really enjoying the Clippers and recommend them for any outside/scoring SF.

It is really fun watching both Jordan and Griffin put back my misses... some of the Putbacks are classic top 10 SportCenter highlights.

Chris Paul always dishes to everyone on the floor, and even Griffin and Jordan will pass to you as an outlet when necessary. I am very surprised at how well my guy fits into the scheme of things there.

After the all star break I selected play next key game and it simulated the rest of the season I won the MVP. Im on PS3.

What happens if I pick next key game in the playoffs? Will it sim the entire playoffs or is every playoff game a key game? Anyone know?

Dont know how I forgot about Vertical.

Scrapper is a really good skill to work with. Also Hustle Points is good skill for off rebs.

Another Good skill to have as a big man is Brick Wall. For only 500VC(only 1 level), it is a great skill to have. I played with a player with Brick Wall skill and they are great teammates to have.

Once the patch comes out, I will create my 6'11 275 Athletic PF/C(a combo big man). The first skill I will buy is Brick Wall, Scrapper, Eraser, Post Proficiency, then Finisher.

Good choices; I always max out rebounding on my bigmen first, so my order of acquiring the sigs would be different, but I think you nailed them for a classic bigman.

For the non-traditional bigmen (like Dirk or Love or Bargnati(the Toronto guy(sp)) I'd substitute Spot-up Shooter for Post Proficiency.

I was hesitant for Post Proficiency. I havent been able to time post fadeaways at all. The only Post move I can perform is the post hook. If I choose a different skill than that one, I would choose Defensive Anchor or Anti Freeze.

The sensitivity of Post moves (both offensive and defensive) seem off this year compared to last year... in general, the hook and the floater are my offensive bread-and-butter for my Center out of the post. Defensively, I have been frustrated, I only "pulled the chair" once in 25 games with my Center, and I can't seem to repeat it (even in practice).

Also, the "Legend Training Camps" are quite good for their VC costs... there are 2 Post camps with cost about 300 total, but give you skill ups worth more then you spend on the camps. (Other good ones are: Jordan, Magic, Bird and Rodman) I did not try West or Thomas.

Andre Iguodala

On my MC, he left the Nuggets and signed with the Suns for a four year contract.

In my game Andre Iguodala went to the Hawks and signed an extension.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Kylie Irving in my game has demanded a trade from Cleveland since the team got Chris Paul. I saw it in the rumors. He hasn't been traded yet though. It will be interesting to see what the Cavs get for him. So far I saw they got an offer from Portland for LaMarcus Aldridge.
