Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

i had grown pretty tired of this game (my own fault really) and gave it one last shot by creating a 6'8 233lb SF. I decided i would not be purchasing _any_ vc and grunting it out while starting out on Superstar // Default settings while focusing on being a team player and running the correct plays. I was pretty interested in bedwardsroy19's roster so i set that up. needless to say it was pretty damn grueling. i was drafted to the thunder and quickly into the season i requested a trade to the suns (straight up for beasley, lol). i played every game and it took me 61 games to crack the starting rotation (mostly 'cause dudley was hurt). i ended up avg 11 mins a game // 7.2ppg on 30% shooting with nothing else very standout-ish. once i got the starting job i shut myself down and simmed the last 2 key games to end the season (since we were 2nd to last in the conference) and instead spent time doing all of the drills i had saved up. i put all of my vc into midrange/close/ball handling.

anyways, season 1 was extremely tough for me and i borderline gave up but instead opted to change the difficulty and play style to All Star // Simulation. playing on simulation helped a ton, especially when getting calls when driving to the basket, and generally felt more realistic. the other thing that was really great is that the suns actually drafted an 80 overall SG! unreal. he started on day 1 (funny 'cause no rookie i ever made started on day 1) and works really well with me. i feel a lot of plays are being called for me to score but i'm refusing to hit the 30ppg mark and instead trying to really focus on drawing double teams or finding open guys. i'm only 3 games in and i might bump it back up to superstar since we've won the 1st 3 in closely contested games.

overall, everything i've done with this guy has made the game so much more enjoyable for me and is a lot more fun than just sitting there and calling pnr plays and trying to be a triple double avg player (lol). my stats are still worse (so far) than melo and lbj's 1st or 2nd years so i don't think i'm breaking the game just yet. i've got to pump a lot into other areas that suck and severely reduce my turnovers // lose balls.

Cool man. Glad you are enjoying the game.

West routs East, 143-109

I was named All Star game MVP leading all scorers with 34 points and adding 7 assists. Not gonna lie I cheesed hard though. Wanted it to be fast paced so I dropped it to pro/default. But hey that's what ASW is about lol. Now back to the grind of superstar/sim...

Being without James Harden in the Western Conference Finals sucks. Timberwolves are having their way with us, going down 0-3. Game 5 next!

Harden needs to suck it up and play through the broken jaw. He has enough padding from his beard that he shouldn't have broken it in the first place.

LMAO Classic!

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Wow JR Smith is a beast in this game. I am glad they traded him with me. Only thing that sucks is he is 27 or 28 but he will help this team go a long way right now. Line up right now:

PG - Justin Moore (me)
SG - J.R. Smith
SF - Aminu
PF - Ryan Anderson
C - Anthony Davis

That's gotta be a fun lineup for you at the point! I'd be doing pick and pops with Anderson all day if Smith had an off game.

I lost to the Thunder in 7 of the Finals in my 3rd year, they still had their current roster except never traded Harden and they signed J.R. Smith. I came to the conclusion that seeing Westbrook, Harden, Smith and KD on the floor at the same time will be bad for your defense lol.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I havent lost a game since I upgraded to Bruiser 3 on my PF for the hornets. It is so overpowered. All the top players barely can get to 20 minutes on the court.

With Bruiser 3 the first 2 quarters are close but by the 4th there top players stay on for maybe 2 whistles before being subbed out.

i might take off bruiser just to make the game challenging again on HOF/sim. Its still kinda challenging but when Lebron can only match me for the 1st quarter its sorta over kill.

This illustrates to me that the amount of contact in any given game is about double what it should be. I hope 2k revamps the contact made between players (especially during route-running) instead of diluting the skill.

If 2k had included "Pinball" as a nickname for 2k13, I'd end up chosing that, because at times, that is exactly how I feel, like a pinball, bouncing from man to man around the court.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Question for all those PGs out there. I have an athletic PG and want to know what signature skills I should use for him.

At the moment I have acrobat Level 1, Gatorade, and Dimer level 1. I want to get closer and at some point cut the Gatorade one...My problem is which one should I choose for the last couple? I'm a slasher all day. I rarely shoot a three...I maybe attempted about 20 at the most my first year. I do like dishing it to my teammates, so I'm not a score first type PG.

Acrobat
Closer
Dimer
Finisher(?)
Floor General(?)

How does that look? I want him to be like a Russell Westbrook type player. An athletic freak that can still pass the rock when need be.

On my PG's (all Athletic) I use:

Finisher

Scrapper ( I like running in and stealing rebounds/loose balls like Westbrook does at times)

Dimer

Ankle-Breaker/Chase Down Artist

Lock-Down Artist

I have found both Floor General and Defensive Anchor to be too powerful after 2 seasons to use, so I don't use either of those.

I switch between ankle-breaker and chase down artist; I haven't decided which I enjoy more.

On a side note: Has anyone else experienced "corrupt files" since the latest update ( yesterday for me)? I've had 3 careers become "corrupted" since this update and it is starting to make me wonder.

Oh, good call on the Ankle Breaker skill. I forgot all about that one. I'll definitely add that one to the list.

I could try the scrapper skill, but I seem to be ok with getting rebounds. I average about 7 a game, so I don't really want to overdue it so I average more than most centers. It helps with loose balls too doesn't it? That would be good, I'm trying to lead the league in steals so that could help.

Thanks for the reply! Helped a lot.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

hustle, I'll look into it, thanx. The thing is the descriptor for that skill talks about diving for loose balls, it says nothig about player movement or agility.

I know it says that but it apparently helps you move quicker. Smoove even uses it.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

does anyone if it's at all possible to get the star role in my career mode i'm a 99 overall and the best player in the league. but steph curry is labeled the star on my team he's a 87 rating. i play the sg position

It is very fun. Makes getting assists easy. Having 4 guys that can shoot the 3 including me, this is fun though we still can't beat the Thunder.
