Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

just got real excited for my pg on the jazz we had been 1-9 in our last ten games and are 12-18 overall Millsap had been out for a month but we were losing when he was here too but since he came back we are on a 2 game winning streak and currently beating the clippers 94-63 in the 3rd quarter with 7:29 left lol i have 34pts 5rebs and 10asts i scored 20 points in the first quarter was too scared to lose so i had to be real aggressive and we just been shutting down there whole team usually jamal crawford kills us in the first game we had against them he had 38pts now he only has 4 so Proud of my team had to get on here and brag i play 12mins on superstar simulation.

But im not too confident we will win we were up by 26 going against the pacers and ended up losing by 12 so who knows hopefully we can keep this level of play up.

An i wanted to know what is the exact date when they ask what players you want to trade for because we mos def need a starting sg or sf
i alrdy have the "im tired of losing" thing but it never works he just says its hard he will see what he can do.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just posted about it above this post.

I havent played since last night. I am about 3-4 key games(depending if any games get skipped over). The only chance I get to play ORL is if I play the Kings key game. 1st key game against them got skipped over, the last one didnt. The last ORL game is after a Kings game. I want to see if I should ask for him. He seems like he takes a ton of shots to have below avg shots. But, he does have 86 Pass, 87 Off AWR, and high POT. So, I might be willing to ask for that trade.

But, I dont want another Rivers on the team. That would defeat the purpose. The rookie doesnt have any sig skills, but there is a high chance he could get Dimer and Floor General in the future. He also avgs 1.9 steals a game. But, he shoots 39 FG% and 32 3pt%. That is kind of scaring me. He future is great, but I hope that he doesnt shoot over 17 shots when we face him.

But, I am not sure how he will play with Gordon(when he gets healthy). I say that because Gordon and Rivers didnt play well together. We have played well with Gordon out. We are 3-1 in our last 4 key game without Gordon. I am not sure if Gordon and Demunyck(rookie PG) is shooting over 15 shots a game(to go along with me and Chandler) is going to fare. Especially, if we dont trade away Rivers.

You are a PF/C right? Do you let the CPU run plays or do you keep running the PnR?

Yeah.

I let the CPU run the plays. But, when I set picks for teammates in assigned plays, the plays gets canceled. I might take PNR Roll Man off my plays. I might actually get more plays for my self doing that.

I hate that when the play gets cancelled too, when setting screens. Can you test if taking the PNR Roll Man gives you more plays? Cause I get only like 2-5 plays for myself each game and they are all post plays.

Is there any solution for the broken call plays in PC?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I enjoy my Athletic PF a lot now, I am trying to master the PnR thing... The thing is it doesn't show up in the stats, because I open way for Curry and Jack to score :P Standard A+ team. grade every game though.

The thing is I can't score! Should I upgrade my post moves or trying to upgrade close shot? Both are too expensive, so I can only choose one..

Also, I have Scrapper level 1. Should I get bruiser or something else or go scrapper lvl 2?

Thanks!

Which playstyle did you start out with? Faceup, Athletic, Rebounding? If I were you I'd get inside shot to 80 close to 75-80 and definitely mid range to around 75-80 because a big that can shoot 10 to 12 feet from the basket is lethal in this game. As for defense get your on ball defense up and ignore low post defense for now. You'll be facing alot of players that rather play you off the dribble than guys that just wanna back you down.

Shots are really expensive... is it worth upgrading my standing dunk? Because I get a lot of off rebounds and I can't use them correctly :P
And what about sig moves?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Definitely agree with this.

Unless you are willing to give up someone good or a 1st rder, you have to be cautious with trade suggestions. I did this in my PG career. I dont regret it now in my PG career, but I did when I asked for it(especially when we lost Paul George).

I think I can do it in my PF career. I doubt they are going to trade Anthony Davis or Rivers(want them to). Eric Gordon is consistently getting injured, so when they ask for the ASW trade suggestion, he will still be injured. The main person I dont want to lose is Wilson Chandler. He been a consistent 15pt and 5 reb guy daily. After next game will be the leading scorer on the team since Eric Gordon has been injured.

The game against ORL is like a week before they ask for trade suggestions. I like that so I know if I want to ask for the rookie PG. I want us to trade away the rookie Center and Austin Rivers for the PG. But, I want to see how the PGs plays. Austin Rivers took the most shots for us this year with 523. The Rookie PG took 836 shots. Thats more than Me and Austin Davis combined(729 shots), more than Wilson Chandler and Davis Combined(830). I know it is simulated shots, but that is way too many shots. But, there is differences in teams. All of our starters average over 14pts a game. He is the only one over 13pts(21.5). After that game, I will decide whether I want to ask the GM to trade for him or wait for another rookie PG next year. But if I do wait for another PG next year, I will ask for Eric Maynor until then.

I asked for wesley johnson thinking they would trade vasquez or a pick. They traded Austin Rivers, so he could be traded.

They didn't even get a pick back. just a straight up man for man trade

That is what I am looking for. I want a straight up man for man trade. The Rookie Center Saunders is actually rated higher when he morale is up compared to the PG Demunyck. The C is 68(-10) and the PG is 77(+2). But, I would be willing to give up a 1st rd pick since we have a good record.

The deals I want is:
Hornets- Saunders
Magic - Demunyck

or

Hornets- Austin Rivers & 1st rd pick
Magic -Demunyck

or

Hornets- Eric Gordon
Magic-Demunyck & Affalo/1st pick.


Yes, I am willing to give up Gordon. I dont think they can play together. The 2 untouchables are Chandler and Davis. Everyone is letgo-able. But the Gordon trade wouldnt work anyway since he probably wont be healthy around ASW.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Got the Sixers to trade Spencer Hawes for Shane Battier, much needed as we have Bynum on the roster and I don't like playing with the PFs we've got. I would have preferred to get rid of someone other than Hawes, but, oh well. As for my player, I've been struggling as of late. The past two games I've had C- and D+ teammate grades, despite the fact that I felt I played fairly well in the C- game... oh well. At the very least we've been winning of late and we're now at 8-9 after a three game win streak. I'm one of the top rookies in terms of APG at about 5 a game, but can't shoot (and, consequently, score) to save my life.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

3 loses in a row, all because I changed the difficulty to superstar.

It isn't even that hard, I actually don't feel or see a difference. I keep scoring/putting up the same numbers but my squad is so ****ing horrible all of a sudden.


The last game I played I lost 106-120 to Indiana. My team was shooting 52% from the field, something like 30/60 which is pretty good. Except Indiana was shooting 48% from the field but they put up more attemps and field goals all because they had 8 more offensive rebounds. They had something like 38/80 FGA/FGM. (NOT THE EXACT NUMBERS OBVIOUSLY ).

Getting so sick of this. Minus those 16 points I would have won.


The game is truly pushing me to abuse and cheese. I don't like to score 40 points a night. I don't like to score 60 points just so I can win.

Batum is averaging 8 points per game. Matthews is good but isn't doing jack. I feed the ball to Aldrigde who then puts up 20-30 ppg. Hickson doesn't have a midrange jumper or is too scared, he only dunks under the basket and Lillard doesn't play like Lillard plays IRL. Wide open 3's he passes or dribbles to the ring.



My stats from that game:


39 min - 39 points - 9 rebounds - 12 assists - 1 block - 6 TO - 17/36 FG - 5/9 FT.

Cool, I went with an athletic Center too. Allright well this is the order in attributes I'd throw skill points if I was working with a PF

On Ball D/max This first because your facing better skill players than a C.
Low Post D/80 As a bigman always expect to get backed down.
Vertical/80-85 The MOST IMPORTANT attribute for rebounds, blocks, dunks
Stamina/80-85 Also buy Gatorade sig.
Free Throw/70-75 Choose an easy FT animation(any guard) 85-90 FT% guaranteed.

Your offensive attribute distribution depends on the team your on and whether or not your playing with auto plays enabled (which you should).
I played in portland and they ran L Aldridges plays as a Center for me, problem is my game is more like Shaqs or D Howards so I'd end up with the ball 10-12 feet from the basket wide open but never taking the shot and just passing it. So obviously how I wanted to play didn't fit with the teams offense. I suggest you kind of model your game after David Lees and basically become a better version.

I don't have this problem on the Raptors A.I. offense because the Center isn't a primary scorer so the "coach" usually calls plays for the SG, SF, PF, and I basically just pick and roll if the play breaks or if I find myself open under the basket while they are running their little play I just call for it and get the easy 2. I've noticed that if you take over the teams 1st or 2nd scoring option like the starting SF on the Heat, the more the team will expect of you/call plays for you.

That's why everyone finds it so easy to play as a bigman in this game, it's because the offense doesn't go through them like it does when playing as a guard and every offensive possession doesn't have to involve you "making a play".

That's my issue with this mode no matter what i can drop 50 60 a game even if i get 12 assists and 12 rebounds and then we still barely win
