Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I currently have Gatorade 1st Qtr, Bruiser lvl 1 (can't get higher due to Athl. PG Strength cap is 70 or 75 I think), Def. Anchor maxed. I am thinking about equipping Dimer or Floor General at some point, probably Floor General, as I'm not much of a dimer IRL lol.

I'm going to save up all VC for the rest of this rookie year, not upping any more ratings or skills, then come back next year with Lockdown Defender, and maybe either Interceptor, Active Hands or PickPocket... Tryna have it be a *storyline* about how I *worked hard in the offseason* to get better on D. LOL

Shot Form LeBron James, Shot Base 17. Slightly turned, elbows not square, release on the way up. So close to my shot IRL lol, spent an UNGODLY amount of time arriving at this. With all the sig stuff, I pretty much stayed away from anything overly flashy, just basic quick moves. I LOVE the dunks, cuz even though they're not flashy they are perfectly *realistic* and look as if my player is really tryna get his legs under him to rise up.

As for gear, since varsity all I ever wear is one rubber band on each wrist, team elbow pad on left arm, knee sleeve each knee, low socks.

OVR: 86
PPG: 23.3
RPG: 3.2
APG: 7.0
SPG: 0.4 (hence the need for PickPocket/Active Hands/Interceptor
TPG: 3.8 (still working to bring this down, was near 5 before my passing in the NBA *improved*)
BPG: 0.8

NOH: 24-14, 4th in West. Since the 7th game of the season, have started every game at PG, never playing out of position once. So nice since my old PG on PHI ALWAYS played SG and even SF and PF lol.

I'm only 15 games in but my stats are 8pts 12asts 2stls on 54%fg 42%3pt fg. I ama scoring pg but pass more because it rembles my game irl. I also always play pg for my rockets because we traded lin for wilson chandrr and we are 5-0 since the trade(lin would drive into traffic of pull up on defenders to pass up open jumpers).

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Well that was disappointing. After finishing the season with the 4th seed in the West we got bounced out of the playoffs in glorious fashion. No matter what I did at center my team couldn't hold their own against the Warriors. We got swept in the season series by them and then again in the playoffs. Lin and Harden were no where to be found and I had to run Point Center to get the ball to Patterson when he had a mismatch. Nobody wanted to take a shot.

So after all of that and my All-Rookie season I decided a move was needed to advance my career. I talked to the GM and demanded a trade to either Portland, Milwaukee, or Orlando. Turns out I'm headed to Dallas. Which is good for me because scoring won't be absolutely required of me to win. Dirk and OJ can handle the load while I enforce my will on my paint.

Only downside is that Toney ******* Douglas had to come with me and the Rockets got Iggy.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Got caught with the injury glitch after the all star game where everyone is healed and no one can get injured. Just makes things hard for teams that aren't as strong and don't have a good starting 5. I've got the PC version and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a patch made for us, so would love any advice.

Had default difficulty and moved up to AllStar with a record of 69-13 with the Heat. Good starting 5 and great back ups because Battier got traded for Hinrich which worked well for us. I have a center (won MVP, finals MVP etc).

Got the championship and decided to up the difficulty to Superstar. I'd probably play Hall of Fame but I'll be honest and say it's sometimes ridiculous already how some teams just somehow get back into the game hitting unrealistic 3's all the time etc. Iggy signed with the Spurs and they didn't lose any players, so I got traded with Bosh for Duncan and Blatche. Starting five is now:

Parker
Ginobli
Iggy
Bosh
Me

With solid back ups. Our starting five including myself all have ratings of the high 80's (close to 90) because of the team chemistry. Record stands at 28-11 where I'm only playing key games and still 1st for MvP. I'm somehow getting so popular that I've almost beat Howard in all star votes.

Funny thing is, the Heat are 18-18 with a good line up. Clippers decided to literally trade 90% of their players (and their record is still surprisingly high at 20-18) with CP3 signing to the Cavs at the beginning of the year which tends to happen for most people.

Also, I find that if the opponent didn't average like 14 offensive rebounds to like 4 for us, I could probably move up difficulty to Hall of Fame and be alright. But honestly, offensive rebounding as everyone has mentioned has to be the most irritating thing in the game.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I wish 2K would change the tweets according to your position. It's like the fans expect me to get 8 assists as a Center with only a 31 pass rating, or a PG to get 7+ rebounds each game.

I just had a game against the Bucks with my C, which we won. I had 7 TOs(got 2 in 1st quarter, then got 3 consecutive TOs which led to Doc Rivers reducing my minutes). Most of my TOs came from the ball being ripped off my hands whenever I try to do something. Does upping my ball security solves this issue?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

do you guys go for 99 stats or just 95??
(e.g 3-pt and dunk)

i think 95 is fine to save VC though but, what do you think?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just had a heartbreaking g loss to the clippers 116 to 107 I play pg for the jazz. We were winning the whole game and then the 4th quarter starts and Jamal Crawford just destroys us and my guyis too damn tired to do anything it was ridiculous. Just wondering does anyone else have the promblem with their person getting super tired by the 4th my stamina is 99 I have the Gatorade 1st quarter sig and I don't press the turbo button until the 3rd quarter and wondering if anyone has a good idea for sf or sg I could ask for via trade because randy foye shoots and missses too much and Rana bell doesn't shoot enough and. We have four great big guys idc. Who gets traded long as we get an. High potential or all star caliber sg or sf

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I also am playing PG for the Jazz and it was difficult due to the weakness at SG and SF positions. However, starting season 2, Millsap left, D Favors moved into the starting PF job and we signed CP3 to a big multiyear contract (ha ha, take that LA Clippers!). This kicked me to the starting SG postion, but we are now winning, so can't complain too much.

during season 1 who did you ask them to trade for and did they get them cus it is so hard not having at least a decent sg or sf and who did they trade away if it did work

maybe i am using him wrong because he sucks for me he is wide open for a 3 and he shoots the ball so slow that defenders always get there and effect his shot so he always misses wide open 3s. and he doesnt dunk so his layups always get blocked in the paint

i decided to try a pf rebounding 6'11 260 lbs and i was wondering if anyone has tips to get good grades and stats ?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

DO you guys prefer HOF sim or HOF default? I've been playing on HOF sim and nearly every game has been close. I love the fouls on sim but it's ridiculous how much contested 3's and 2's go in for the opponent. I'm able to shut down my opponent but the other wing players always go for 26 or more with ridiculously high efficiency. Gerald Wallace for example shot 4/5 from 3's, and went 12/16 overall.
