Agree with all of this. Nothing more frustrating than drawing a 2nd defender, kicking it to a wide open player who.... doesn't shoot, but drives into the paint and gets his shot blocked immediately.

Also hate how often Eric Gordon gets his shot blocked due to his form. He shoots like a 6th grader, but it goes in at a very high rate as long as he's not getting it blocked.


I'm loving the minutes I get with Jason Smith on the court, he loves to put up as many shots as he can because he knows he's only playing 10 minutes a night haha.

I know! Gordon's form is so annoying. He is a beast but there are times when he tries to pull up in someone's face and gets rejected. But boy does he put in work out there. I just hit him in the open court or wing and immediately call "Iso For Gordon" and let him operate.

Yeah Smith pulls immediately on the catch, love having him on the floor. He's getting only 11 mins/game now but I'm going to tell them GM I like playing with him as soon as that dialogue option comes back. Used it recently to boost Rivers' minutes.

Play-wise, I usually just run what they call, but to start the game and the 2nd half I always disregard the CPU plays and call post plays for AD 4 out of every 5 trips until he sits. Then back to letting the CPU call plays. Out of maybe every 3 or 4 trips I'll hit Gordon on the wing, call iso for him and let him go.

Mix in some isos for me in there.

My 6'9" Small Forward is a beast. Averaging around 22-8-8 I think. I like that I started with one skill (Midrange jumper maxed) and slowly but surely expanded my game. I legitimately maxed out Midrange and Pass, but when I say I "maxed-out" any other skill below I really mean I got it 1-3 points below max and plan on using legends camps to finish it off.

* I got "Deadeye" level 1 to help with my jumper
* Got dunk just high enough to throw it down on the break
* Then I maxed out speed (this one was a grind) and got the Gatorade Pack so I could get back on D
* Got my 3 pointer to about 75 to expand my range
* Got the expensive arm sleeve that boosts 3 pointer because I'm a diva
* Wanted to get my turnovers down so I maxed pass
* Turnovers still a problem dribbling off my foot so I worked on maxing ball-handling, then offhand dribbling, then ball security later down the road
* Got my third sig skill "Ankle-Breaker" and have it to level 2. I need a 95 ball-handling to get level 3 and I'm waiting for camps to max it out to 95.
* Worked on vertical and quickness so my guy would have greater lateral and vertical mobility (he feels much "lighter" on the court now).
* Found vertical was NOT helping my rebounding numbers nearly enough so I got defensive boards to 90 (helped dramatically).
* Decided I wanted to go to Jordan's camp so I worked on maxing out Dunk and shoot in traffic and then attended using the camp to put the finishing touches on speed, vertical, dunk, SIT.
* Sick of getting reach in fouls so I maxed Steal (still getting reach-in calls, lol)
* Got my 4th signature skill "Finisher" and maxed it to level 3
* Eyeing Isiah's camp as my second of my rookie year so currently working on Lay-up (90). 7 more points to go before I move on.

Future:
* Finish maxing layup
* Max shoot off dribble
*Attend Isiah's camp
* Get the diva elbowpad to match my diva armsleeve (7,500 SP in armwear)
* Max Freethrow (not a "weakness" in my game per se but it needs to be shored up since I get to the line more with my "anklebreaker/finisher" combo).
* Work on Maxing attributes for Rodman and Bird's camps which will be attended in season 2.
*Get "Lockdown Defender" as my last signature skill

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Well we just played the Timberwolves, and this game showed to me where the Suns need to go.

Love, Siesma, AK-47, Petrowhatver, and even Cunningham all combined to limit me to 2 offensive rebounds (9 total) and they did a great job at dominating within the paint.

We won, but it took Shannon Brown, Scolia, and even Dravigic getting hot either outside the arc or mid-range.

Gortac just could not be the lone bigman for us, and O'Neal was worse then normal - and well looked like he was a year past retirement.

So now I've gotta try to figure a legitimate bigman to have our GM go after (if he ever asks me)... thinking of one of the Jazz's extra or maybe a King... idk... I don't ask unless I think it realistic, so I won't ask for a Griffin or a Love...

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I had a 22pt, 17 rebs, 2 blocks, and 2 steals against the Knicks in a loss(as usual). We were up 1 with 4 mins left and then Melo went off. It didnt help JR Smith and Amare went off.

I am liking the addition of Wilson Chandler. He provides versatility on both sides of court. We just need a True PG because Rivers isnt it. I am hoping we still go after Maynor. But, we do need a backup PG in the draft if we dont get him.

I got Shot Close to 75 and Shot Inside to 80. I am currently boosting SIT. I wont stop boosting that until I get to 80. I will then boost Shot Hook

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just started playing MyCareer mode..I created a 7ft Defensive Center....Got drafted 8th (if im not mistaken) by Pistons..have played 2 games so far...the minutes got increased so good from 7 to 25 and already got double figure in points and 5 rebounds in that 2nd game..but somehow we got blew out by Rockets by 40+..BTW im playing 8minutes Hall of Fame...I'm the kind that dont like to change the difficulty and would like to stick to just one difficulty..would be hard but i love challenges

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

i started a pg once the patch came since the fluctuating minutes was fixed. worked out great since i got drafted to houston and thanks to a minor injury to jeremy lin i ended up making the starting lineup as pg.

3 games later i notice my minutes skyrocketing to 40+ a game, plus starting at SG, so i look at injuries and find that white/asik/harden are out for the FULL SEASON with torn mcl's/broken back/jaw. i hate playing with jeremy lin.

semirelated: i wish they hadn't taken out the menu during the game where you could view the injury report for the 2 teams.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Is there a way to do a PnR with with your SG/SF (playing PG) without calling for a play ?

yes, just tap the PnR button and then select which player icon you want to set the pick.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread
