Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

lol ya, so regardless of that, you get charged with the "allow opponent to score" deduction on teammate grade.

I hate on defense, how it seems like my guy gets screened regardless o where he is on the court. Opponents screen my guy so that I don't get the rebound(but my other teammate can), they screen him so that they would no longer be open for a wide open shot, and stuff like that.


Has mycareer gotten easier or harder with the patch?

I'm 2k12 I would get boxed out at the 3 point line!..hasn't happened in 2k13, BUT getting held up trying to cut to the lane happens nearly every time. Started using the right trigger to fight around screens to save my teammate grades when I get picked or a teammate switches.. got it to a point that I rarely get punished for leaving my guy.

If you dont want to get on a certain team you should answer as ignorantly as possible, usually that would be the y or triangle button

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

A few other things I noticed after playing 5 games (I started a Mycareer when the game came out but I waited until the patch to actually play it again + I made a new player):



1. Lack of contact when players drive to the hoop.


I played a game today against the Clippers with CP3. I'm a 6'7 SG(/PG) defending their SG. I see CP3 going to the hoop and he pushes his defender off trying to get in that gap and pass him but he gets Hickson, Aldridge and Matthews on him. Both are taller,bigger, stronger, everything. Hickson hits the ball with his arm but it goes right through . They had him but the ball still goes in.

This isn't right, either way CP3 should have been pushed off and hold back AND no way in hell that easy layup is going in against those 2 bigs.

In 2K12 it was easy to stop a guy and get in front of him but in 2K13 I keep getting pushed off even when I clearly got him. I know how to play defense. It feels completely different to guard someone in MyCareer than to guard someone when I control all 5 players or even blacktop. My on ball defense is 90.


2. I don't like how slow I am!? I got 90 speed and quickness, my hustle is also at 90. I keep track of my guys but they keep speeding away, making me run into bigs like Griffin (I get that this is a screen play) they are open now and get the ball and shoot. Which brings me to 2.1: When this happens my teammates are so unbelievably ignorant, they don't even bother to help me out and switch guys so he doesn't get the wide open shot.

I should be fast enough to stay with them but every time they speed off it feels like I'm stuck to the ground. I don't seem to have a fast start.

Just hit a game winner vs the Bucks. But man it should've been a easy W but Monta Ellis and his 54 points kept them in the game. Although I didnt display Ellis performance cause it would make the vid too long, here is a video of the game with most of my highlights with 1 shot that Ellis made that defines Hall of Fame Cheese lol its at the 5:20 mark for those who wanna see just that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hceD0BXkAuE

Use the right AND left stick's at the same time on defense in 2k13.. seems to play much tighter defense when the ball handler goes to the hoop that way

Back in the starting lineup again.. guess you really have to kiss the coach's butt.. doing the GM talks every chance you get to say you like the job the coach is doing

I'm trying to get my Oscar Robertson on and average a triple-double for the season, I'm currently at 24ppg, 10.1rpg and 7.8apg. I've also been named a starter for the All-Star team, I just got named to the dunk contest too.

Made My Career yesterday, I'm a 6'2 180lb Athletic PG. In the Rookie Showcase I got 21/7/3 with a B+ TG. I got drafted 1 round pick 10 to the Hornets and I haven't played a game yet but I think I'm going to love this team! Also if any of you are curious about anything I created a My Career previously and finished a whole season with the 76ers and I got ROTY, MVP, League leader in points, all-start team, All NBA 1st team, All rookie 1st team. I got my Sig Shoe right after I won the MVP award, so if any of you are wondering when you get it you have to get MVP, no matter how many fans you have.

Yeah I do that but my guys are going left/right real quick even when they dribble and I can't keep up. I played so many blacktop games (offline) and I could easily guard/follow the guy 1 on 1 and have them miss the shot but in MyCareer I just suck.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I added the 'hustle points' signature skill.. because I usually get 3 or 4 offensive rebounds but miss the putbacks.. all of a sudden my teammates can't miss!

Are you using the right trigger also? I also started trying to go AROUND screens.. seems to help but I think 2k13 gives you a bit more time to get back to your guy than 2k12 did for leaving assignment penalties

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Not sure, can't really tell what I press. I press the trigger that makes you bend your knees a little so you can slide really fast and guard your defender. I' m doing exactly the same when I played blacktop and it worked there.

Not true. I got it my 5th season and havent been mvp. Also got the 2k14 cover.....in 2016 !! Didn't make much sense lol

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

My SF is currently the ROY leader (starts at SG since he's a SF) (almost to 40 games finally.. damn job and NHL13!) and 4th in MVP .. now if I could just get fans and get to the all star game, but that won't happen in rookie season.. under 300k fans still after picking what turned out to be the wrong press conference answer a bunch of times

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

They had to have changed up something in myplayer.

I averaged the same stuff(23pts,4 rebounds,5 assists) as I usually do. And a B teammate grade, like I usually do. Every other game, I get like 170VC from the game, this time I only got around 80, and in the post game interview, they called it a "so-so game"....for the past 60 games, they never seemed to think that before....

Also..why am I no longer in the running for 6th man of the year? Isn't the rule that in order to be eligible, you must not have started more than half a season? There's 20 games left, and even if I start them all, I wouldn't have even started 40 games total. It was just a few days ago where I was leading the race for 6th man of the year
