Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

My Celtics were up 3-2 against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs when I simmed to the next key game. I managed to win Game 6 to allow my Celtics to advance to the Conference Semi-Finals with a 23pts, 14r, 1a and 3blks effort.

Next round will be up against the Heat. I doubt we will win the series; I think the Heat swept the season series against us. I got a feeling that we might be swept now as well.

Other playoff series:
HOU vs OKC - HOU won 4-2
MEM vs DEN - MEM won 4-1
LAL vs UTA - Tied 3-3
LAC vs MIN - Tied 3-3
MIA vs DET - MIA won 4-2
BOS vs PHI - BOS won 4-2
NY vs MIL - MIL won 4-1
CHI vs BKN - BKN won 4-2

This are my first round averages:
First 5 games (simmed): 11ppg, 10.6rpg, 1.2apg, 0.8bpg, 0.4spg, 1.4tpg, 55FG%, 84FT%.
Total: 13ppg, 11.1rpg, 1.2apg, 1.2bpg, 0.3spg, 1.5tpg, 60FG%, 88FT%.

Houston beat OKC???

Just played against the Heat in the Conference Semi-Finals. We were down 4-2 when I simmed to the next key game.

We lost 115-112, but it was a really frustrating lost. We had several chances to win the game but 2k decided to cheese.

We were up by 10 heading into the 4th quarter. Then for some reason we had 8 TOs in the 4th quarter. Rondo was doing noob passes, the CPU pushed my teammates out of bounds etc. At the last few seconds we were tied up and Rondo missed a potential game-winner and we headed to OT. The Heat outscored us 26-16 in the 4th.

In OT we managed to get the lead 105-103 with a few seconds left. I thought we will be able to win when Chalmers just drives to the paint with NO ONE guarding him. As a result he tied the game up with only 0.3s left, thus going to a 2OT.

In 2OT Pierce went cold, missing several shots he made earlier on. They were up by 1 with less than 30 seconds left when Pierce missed a shot and Bosh grabbed the rebound (I failed to grab rebounds a lot of times for some reason throughout the 4th quarter and OTs). Bosh passed the ball to a cherry picking Lebron and KG stupidly fouled him, resulting in a clear path foul. Lebron split the FTs and we had to foul Chalmers the next possesion. Chamers split the FTs as well and now they are up by 3. We called a TO and I scored to cut the lead to 1, but the game was already over. We fouled D-Wade and he made both FTs and we lost the game. I think we had a combined 10+ TOs in the 4th quarter + the 2 OTs. My teammates were just turning the ball over like crazy.

As for the rest of the playoffs, the Heat swept the Lakers to win another title.

Offseason, my team did not have any draft picks and did not sign anybody, so I'm stuck with the same team again with a 61% team chem. The Mavs had the 1st pick and picked a 64OVR 6'2" PG/SG with a decent potential. CP3 signed with the Cavs (lol) and Dwight signed with HOU (I like this signing, since I'm a HOU fan as well). Iguodala signed with DET.

Houston beat OKC???

Yea. I was surprised as well when I saw HOU advancing to the next round.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

We are in the Finals against the Pacers in my 3rd season. I mainly simmed the playoffs since I want to get to FA. But every round once I simmed, we were up. We beat Minn 4-2, and we swept Blazers and Thunder. If we can win it this year, I am playing to play not for a title. We are now 3-1 over Pacers, so we will win the title.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

We're playing the Spurs and I've been waiting for Tim Duncan to inbound the ball for 5 minutes now. It isn't calling a 5 second violation. Is there anything I can do? We're up 8 with only 2 mins to go and I don't want to start over.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just finished my first season as a Scoring SG for the Pistons. We made it to the Conference finals, but got swept by the Heat. In the end, thunder won it all, with KD wrapping up his MVP season with a Finals MVP.

I had a pretty solid first season, carrying the pistons to the 2nd seed, while averaging like 26 ppg, 4 rpg, and 7 apg. i think i made one of the all-defense teams too, which is ironic becasue i suck at defense lol.

In the off-season, i was really hoping that our gm did something to make our team better, but im not sure he did. Over the year, we traded maxiell and our first round pick for batum and corey maggette for metta world peace. The second trade was completely pointless, as metta only played out of position for like 5 minutes just like magette did since the pistons seem to be stacked with bad small fowards. Batum actually played really well as the starting three, except for the fact that his defense completely collapsed against LeBron in Game 4 of the Conf. Finals (He had five fouls, and at least four of them resulted in and-ones for LeBron, who finished with 30 points)

Still batum does a nice job as the starting SF, and we are set at center with monroe and drummond(who is badly rated but plays like a beast) At pg, knight played alright, and i would be fine with him for another year if need-be. Our biggest weakness is definietly pf. Charlie V was the starter after maxiell was traded, and all he could do was shoot the three. He was terrible at D and rebounding. Another problem we have is that our sixth man, who is the man i replaced, rodney stuckey. He is really just redundant with me, and i told the gm that i wanted him gone before the trade deadline. of course the gm kept him, and coming into year 2 he is still the sixth man.

Over the offseason, i requested some help at the pf in free agency, but the gm decided to completely ignore it and sign aaron brooks, which makes no sense since we have knight already and brooks is not better than him in anyway. We also did not resign Charlie V, so that means Jerebko, who was just awful in the minutes he got in my first season.

Im holding out hope that our gm has tricks up his sleeve, but at least batum and monroe got better so i have some competent teammates on the floor. I also saved up all my VC from the playoffs, so i have alot to use to make my guy better before the season starts.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just won my 1st Title with the NOH in my final season playing for them. We beat Pacers 4-1. We blew them out in the final game. I am glad that I was able to get that out of the way early in my career.. We got to the Conference Finals last year after ending with worst record in league 1st year. I can leave this team feeling that there isnt any unfinished business. They should be good without me. Anthony Davis will start again. They drafted a Center this year to replace me anyway.
I won the Finals MVP averaging 12.9 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 2.9 BPG.


I signed with the ORL Magic. They have the squad I liked the most out of the choices available. Both of the PGs I mentioned is over 80 and both start. Demunyck has the Shot Creator Skill and the other has Deadeye. Demunyck is the starting SG, since the other PG Hubbard is 5'10. They both have A- or better Perimeter Defense, Ball Handle, and Athleticism. I like this team. I was able to sign a 5yr 639 VC contract.

I plan on playing the 1st couple of games to set my statline pace. I will play 1 game tonite. I havent played a 12min quarter in a while. So, I should go off.

save and exit the game and then load, that should fix it

My 1st bucket with the ORL Magic is a alley oop

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

In my 1st game of my 4th season, I had my best game ever in my career in the 1st game with Magic. I had 57pts, 26 rebs, 5 assists, and 1 block and steal. Those 2 PGs Demunyck and Hubbard made a huge impact. They combined for 26pts, 20 assists, and 4 steals. Those assists werent just PNR passes or easy passes, they were great court vision passes. Both of them PGs have 88+ Off Awr. Demunyck pulled off this sick assist to a teammate. He dribbled behind his back and made a no-look one handed assist to a cutting teammate. We blew Mavs out 128-58 on Superstar Sim.

It was one game, but I really like this team. Demunyck didnt really shoot the ball well, but he will have his good days. Hubbard didnt shoot the ball as much as I thought he would. He shot well going 5-8. I expected Demunyck to jack up some shots. I also expected Hubbard to do so as well. But, he didnt. We do need to acquire some more spot-up shooters. With both of the PGs starting, we need a SF. There was a big difference when both of them were off the court because the offense(and defense) flowed differently. Definitely think I can get my 1st All-Star this year.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just played my first key game of my Center's sophomore season against the T-Wolves. Kevin Love started as C since Pekovich signed with another team (can't remember which team).

We lost against the T-Wolves 90-87. We kept trailing by 1 and had several chances to take the lead but just couldn't. I finished the game with 31pts and 22 rebounds, my first 20+pts and 20+rebounds game.

My Celtics are on a 4-game losing streak which started at the start of the season. I doubt we will make the playoffs this year. I don't mind if we fail to make the playoffs; at least we will have a top 15 pick in the draft.

The highest rated rookie I saw was a 76 (+2) OVR SG. I think he's a #6 pick. I forgot which team he belonged to.

I hope your ORL team will turn into a dominating team. I can't wait to get into free agency with my Celtics Center since they are doing terrible now. Unless they get some good players, I definitely won't be signing with the Celtics.

Is the up and under move boosted by "Shot Inside"?

I think it can. But like I said, we do need some other role players. It is only 1 game, but it is apparent that I am "The Man" on this team. Since I will be playing 36+ minutes(depending on quarter lengths), we need better bench players when both of the PGs are off the court. Im not going to say I dont like going off, but I dont want to have to go off to win. Besides those 2 PGs, there isnt much on this team. Outside of Affalo, we dont have anything in the backcourt. Moe Harkless didnt progress well. We have plenty of big men. We need a SF and another combo guard. Demunyck is a combo guard because of his shooting tendency, size, and passing ability. I would like a defensive SF and either a SG/PG or PG/SG. What I might do is ask for Eric Maynor or a young(21-25) wing player that isnt rated high, but fill a role.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

If my last game of the season is a non-key game and I hit play next key game will it just skip until a key game in the playoffs or will it just end the season there?
