Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Maybe I'm in the minority here but MyCareer just seems too easy. I play on superstar and constantly win by 20+ points, without even trying. It's funny because it's like my teammates hit every shot. Playing with Golden State and as a team we usually shoot around 50-55% a game (Stephen Curry NEVER misses, lol). On the flip side it seems like the cpu can't hit anything, only shooting around 35-40% a game, no matter what team. 70 games into the season and our point differential is +26, which is incredibly unrealistic. (to put that in perspective the record for the biggest point differential ever was +12 by the 71-72 Lakers). Bumped it up to hall of fame for a few games and still consistently won by 10-15 points (despite some pretty crazy cpu cheese), which is better but still ridiculous. NBA games are usually pretty close, you don't see teams putting up double digit victories and blowouts every night. I usually have to jack up the shot sliders for the cpu anywhere from about 10-15 points higher than my own just to get a challenge (playing on PC so I can use custom sliders for MyCareer).

I believe it may have something to do with team chemistry. Earlier in the season I don't remember being able to win so easily. It's like once you get your chemistry really high your team starts to play like the 92 Dream Team or something.

Not sure how you are managing this. I'm playing on all-star and my teammates are horrible. They don't shoot terribly because I assist them a lot of easy buckets, but the other team typically shoots in the high 50s and outrebounds us by 10-20 every game, plus the score off of every turnover. I've been turning in efficient 30 point, 10 assist performances and losing by 15-30 points every game. My team chemistry is in the mid-80s.

I am not sure where I weigh in on it being too easy. I play a PF on superstar. It use to be brutal when it was early in the season with the bulls. I am with the Nuggets now and we win by 10 or more every game. Now have a 12 game win streak. Our team chemistry is at a 100% and I have the defensive skill that makes everyone better defensively. The game may be close for a time but it is due to them hitting tough shots. My guy is at 92 now and I shoot around 75 a 80% for the game. The other team started doubling me every time I touch the ball. That just makes it easier for my team to get wide open shots. We feel like the 70 win Bull team.

I will say the opponent shoots worse now than they did earlier in the season. Has to be the chemistry. If they fix the silly offensive rebounding thing the game will get that much easier.

Does getting strength up get you more contact fouls?

Houston Rockets
Center 69 OVR
Superstar/Simulation
10 min

33 games into the season and I think I may have hit that point in my season when we start crushing teams that we should have no business winning against. I was playing against the Grizzlies who have a team rating of 86 while we (the rockets) have an OVR of 75 well I was benched at the start of the 2nd qtr and when I was subbed back in we went from a 2 point deficit to a 22 point lead!! And by the end of the 3rd we were crushing them by 30.

I thought this was unfair to the CPU since Z-Bo had only 4 points by then, so I thought no way we're beating the grizzlies this bad, this ain't right... so I restarted the game on HoF and I get benched at the same time and when I was subbed back in, THE SAME THING happened where we magically go up by 20 points!?!? We don't win by 30 like I'm sure we would have had I played out the 1st game on superstar but we still beat them by 11 points.

I'm convinced that the outcomes of games are somewhat predetermined, meaning I could have shot the ball from half court everytime we had possession or just set the controller down and let my opponent score, and I'm pretty sure we would have lost but It seemed as though we would have gotten the win whether I tried or not.

I just finished playing the last regular season game(in mycareer obviously) before the all star break(its my first season). Don't know if I should continue or not cause of the issue that many people talk about with all star weekend and stuff in myplayer.

what I did was delete the all star DLC, then used "play next key game" as luckily I had a key game two games after the all star game. Worked for me, as I then played the rest of the season fine to get to the post season.

this is why this mode needs sliders so desperately. Everyone needs or prefers a different level of difficulty that needs to be fine tuned to your personal experience.

I got to the Celts, terrible chemistry, losing record. by the end of the season I get the chemistry up to 94% and we are rolling over teams on allstar/sim. then for some reason our team chemistry plummets to 25% (no trades etc). we cant beat anyone for a week entering playoffs.

now we are rolling in the playoffs with 22% chemistry, I had to bump it up to superstar/sim. this game is wacky. I just wish i could tweak shooting % for my team and the opposing AI.

I make sure not to use any offensive sig skills as offense is too easy on every difficulty. I try to get as many defensive ones as I can, even though i am a PG. sig skills are like the only sliders we have, use or do not use floor general and defensive anchor to tweak your AI teammates. take off dimmer if your teammates never miss etc etc...

I'm not sure how I win so easily but it has to be related to chemistry, which is at 100% by the way. We do usually get killed with offensive rebounds but that is usually the main way the cpu scores. If not for that advantage I would probably be winning by 40 points a game. I'm telling you it's like everyone is a defensive monster, because every shot the cpu takes gets contested, which is probably why their FG % is always so low. And on the offensive end most shots usually go in, even when contested. I play PG and a lot of times I don't even pass it to some players (like Curry, Klay Thompson is another) because they are so cheesy. Every shot they shoot goes in. Most games they don't even really need any production from me, it's just icing on the cake, lol. The offensive and defensive flow is just unreal. Also, I usually play about 45 mins a game, but usually the few minutes I sit out, even if it's somewhat close beforehand my team ALWAYS drastically pull away while I'm on the bench. Gets kind of annoying winning EVERY game.

Something I found interesting is when I check everyone's stats during a game every team member has a green arrow going up. This is why I think it has to do with chemistry. High chemistry results in good morale which results in team wide stat increases.

I decided to start over on MyCareer, because I didn't like the Grizzlies' GM and he was lacking on firing the coach and trading Mike Conley.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

In my 2nd season with my Defensive Center (7ft & 255lbs) with the Bucks. We ended up 2nd in the division (54-28) and 4th overall in the Conference. Beat the #5 Pacers 4-1 and fell 3-1 to the #1 Bulls before winning the next 2 and forcing a Game 7, which we lost. We lost a couple of games in the beginning of this year, so I asked my GM to trade for a 3pt specialist, since Dunleavy retired. We got Chase Budinger and so far have been 7-2 since the trade. My guy is an 86 OVR and the 4th in his position. I think they should add regression next year, because what I've seen online looks like your guy never declines once you get his attributes up. I don't see how a mid 30 age player can have the same attributes he did when he was 19-20 years old.

edit: looks like they do regress with age only.....good to hear.
