I hope you didn't spend much VC..

I'm not too worried, I just buy VC as I don't play Blacktop online.

Traded to the Heat? Dude that rocks.....well...I guess it depends. I have found that the best team to go to is one that has a deep bench, good at defense a d are just missing the "star". I was unhappily traded to Denver. Then I realized they have the right mix of guys and push the ball up court. Best is that they are not a selfish team. The problem is that we have won 12 straight on superstar level with only one game decided by less than 10 points. I might sim to key games/playoffs to get to what really matters. If it does not get harder.....might have to...*GULP* go to HoF. I hate doing that as there is so much 'cheese' on that level.

Oh...and being a center sucks because you max stamina is 85. Did a 7'1" PF instead for the max stamina.

Speed and quickness max at 55. Stamina 90. I'll have a look at Denver after the playoffs, because it seems like there is going to be massive signings off season.

Playing with the heat is exactly what I thought it would be. All I have to do is get the defensive rebound, then do a pass off to Lebron or Wade. 90% of the time they always get it in via a dunk or a shot just because they're too good against their opponent.. especially since their rating has improved because of our 100% team chemistry.

I'm going to be bumping up to superstar after the playoffs, saving all my skill points to help my signature skills. I'll probably switch a couple around and add in the defensive and offensive skill where it adds points to your team.

Regardless of my impressive first year stats, I'm trying to at least keep it realistic. I don't want to be averaging 50+ a game when the best players are averaging 30, that's why I want to change my signature skills around so my team is more involved. With the heat, me, Lebron and Wade combine for over 90 points. Add in Bosh and Allen, and you have at least 110 points a game.

I have one last game left in this season. Top three competing for MVP is (in order): Me, Lebron and Wade. So that'll be pretty cool since we should all be in the 1st NBA team.

Am I the only one who hates it when you try to intercept a pass and ends up getting stuck in the animation, while your man just drives to the basket and scores without any sort of help defense causing your grade to drop down?

Kind of annoying but I think that it should be like this. Attempting on ball steals or playing the passing lanes can be a gamble, and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. When you lose you get burned by the offense, which is a reasonable penalty for attempting steals and not sticking with your man. I agree with the help defense though. Players down low shouldn't just watch as someone drives to the basket for an uncontested layup/dunk.

For those whose injury report getting emptied after the All-Star break. Here's a fix. You should play key game before the All-Star game, it will send you to the calendar and there will be a pop up and ask if you want to play in the All-Star game. If you play from that pop up, the injury report won't be empty. Just tried it myself. :wink:

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

So, my Jazz are in the first round of playoffs vs Denver. From the top of the three point line, Lawson chucks up an oop pass to Javale McGee, as he has been doing throughout the series. Well, this time McGee is boxed out and can't get to basket to dunk on us. But, damm if the pass dosn't go in for a three pointer. Unbelievable, and I just dropped my controller and stood for a moment in absolute amazement.

*Snort of knowing laugher*

I pretty much gave up on trying to steal the ball unless it is an attempt I can recover from. I get too many fouls with my PF to get any more reaching in. If someone comes down the lane...I make sure to block the ball....or crush the guys. That's old time basketball! :-)

By the way, I pretty much gave up on setting picks too. It just drains too much stamina. I get the A+ rating now without picks. I much rather use my stamina by engaging the opponent with my level 3 Bruiser skill. At the end of the 4th anyone I guard is crawling on all 4s. He'll, I have left them semi open as they can't hit the side of a barn with 30% stamina left.

Wow.

Even worse is when they "re-arrange" your defenders to accommodate an oop happening in traffic, in a halfcourt setting where there would be NO WAY to complete it in real life.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Question about signature skills for a big man, i already got Brick wall and scrapper, and am thinking about getting Eraser. I see in the description it doesn't actually increase your block probability, just your teammates stamina/energy so is it really worth it?

And what's a better skill, Posterizer or finisher? I only have 70 dunk so it cost me quite a bit of vc to get my dunk to 90 to be able to unlock posterizer.

The problem most people find as big men, is that they lose their stamina/energy quickly. Mines at 90 now which is maxed, but unless it isn't maxed, Posterizer seems like it wouldn't be as effective considering the coach tends to leave your player on for full quarters. Posterizer requires 80 energy on the field which I would assume would go down quite quickly. Plus, you'd have to boost up your dunk by 20 first.

My big man has the finisher skill which helps, but I'm hoping to boost it up further later on. The only problem is the cost, but I'm not too fussed about it considering his skills are now at a good level that I can save up to make my signature skills better.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

After deleting my first MyCareer and messing up on my second, I finally made another one and I got drafted by Memphis.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

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.

Anyone else with another solution?
