Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Deadeye is quite essential if you intend to score a lot of points.

So the Interceptor is not that effective and will just add 10 points in your stealing? I will try that out and see if there's no difference. I could not give up my Spot up shooter right now, I'm having difficulty with my release and I already tried many shot releases, still could not find any comfortable for me.

But what do you think of Shot Creator and Deadeye? Shot Creator is helping you create a space from your defender while Deadeye is for not being affected by your incoming defender while making your shot?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I'm starting to think about what sig skills I will buy because I want to upgrade my player big way before season 2.
But from what I see, some sig skills that looks good aren't good because glitched or just not that good.
Don't really know what I will take.

Probably something like Lockdown Defender because I need defense, Spot up shooter (I already have lvl1), Dimer (I already have lvl1).
And the I don't know.
Deadeye looks pretty cool, I shoot quite a lot sometimes, so if it's really effective, I'd be interested.
Bruiser looks cool, but on the paper I think it looks cheated. So that could be good for me, but don't know.
Why not Finisher, even though I don't drive into the paint that much right now.
From what I've read, Ankle Breaker is not that useful, if you upgrade your dribble pretty high.
Shot Creator can be interesting too.

What do you think of Dimer? You think it worths it?
And the others?

PS: I'm PG playing SG

Getting ready for the playoffs against the T'Wolves and what's the last game of the schedule? Against the Timberwolves! It's like having an eight game series :P

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just started a 6'9" 235# Defensive PF/C
Houston took me with one of their three draft picks.

I might start over depending on the answers, but what play styles would be good and what attributes should I concentrate on?

I want to play as a defender/rebounder that can get physically under the basket and put the ball back up for the basket.

Thanks for any input.

Playing PF is the best way to dominate IMO. Get your Hustle up and max out BRUSIER ASAP(skip everything else until you get lvl 3). Then just remember that the ball tends to bounce to the opposite side of the rim so position yourself as such. Also, a short shot won't bounce very far from the rim. A long shot almost NEVER bounces close.

Bruiser, hustle and quickness....and you will be a machine. Get brick wall sig. Not sure useful but man it is fun to knock guys down. FYI, with Brick Wall the guard will have a tough time getting around you. With lvl 3 BRUSIER it will drain his stamina FAST allowing your guard to blow past later in the game.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I did my first game in my 4th season yesterday, and it started out pretty bad for me.

We finished with the win, but I had 6 TO's which is my fault, but a bad way to start the new season... I also must say that the Blazers without Aldridge (Signed with the Bobcats.) feel weird now for me to use even though i've been here all my years.

Anyhow, hope it turns out good in the end.

I would love to make a Pass-First PG but in PC calling plays is broken, so I can't imagine playing a PG without running plays!

I run plays on the PC all the time - and they are not "broken."

What is "broken" is the ability to "break" the play be holding the "screen" button for too long. AFAIK this is something on all platforms, and hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming patch (the pc's only patch).

Regardless: as a PG, you will do fine, as long as you facilitate ball movement, and getting all your teammates their touches and looks (with or without play calling).

The biggest issue with making a PG, at least rookie year is actually playing the PG position. I've made 3 PGs so far, and all three have been shifted to either SG or SF.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I finally won my first NBA title in my 4th season. It's scary how close I have followed Lebrons path to our first titles. I struggled and just couldn't get over the hump with the Rockets, so I sold out and joined the two headed monster of Lebron and Kobe in LA.

Lebron won the regular season MVP, but I clutched the Finals and came away with the finals MVP. Sadly, Kobe is declining fast. I thought he would retire after winning it all again, but he's holding strong in his 21st season(84 overall still).

Starting lineup for my 5th year:

PG: Me(98 overall)
SG: Kobe(84 overall)
SF: Lebron(99 overall)
PF: Gasol(74 overall)
C: Monroe(90 overall)

I like my starting 5.

I have a 7"2 Centre, but he's Faceup so I can't get my strength to 95. 90 is max. Is bruiser level 2 worth it?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Alright this tops everything, if 2k wants you to lose you're gonna lose. So think about this, 2ot vs. the Warriors and the score is tied. My SF is playing staring PF now because Tim Duncan is injured so I'm matched up against David Lee who's having his way with me down low. He gets the ball with 10 seconds left and goes for a lay-up, I play perfect D and he misses. Here comes the good part: I can't freaking box him out or jump for the rebound because I'm in some kind of walk animation under the basket which takes forever!! Alright, 2.2 seconds left and we have an inbound play for the tie/win (feeling pretty confident since I made a buzzer beater at the end of regulation and Manu did it to force 2ot). So the ref gives me the ball and I open icon pass as always as I wait for the usual screen for manu to give him room. My Player inbounds the ball without me having a finger on any button!! Out of the blue he inbounds to Tony Parker who goes for a half court shot and misses, because it's a half court shot, while my icon pass options are still open!!

Is this really neccesary? Why should I play this if I don't even have control over my own player...

Raptor 3k update:

My GM made a surprise trade today! After suffering a 7 pt. loss to the Lakers, Demar DeRozen (and a 1st round pick) was sent to the Bobcats in exchange for Michael Kidd-Gillcrest.

Considering this pick will most likely be a lottery pick - this deal actually might be in the Bobcat's favor.

I really don't know how to feel about this trade.

Current Rotation:

PG: Kyle Lowery
SG: Ty Cobb (me)
SF: Michael Kidd-Gillcrest
PF: Ed Davis
C: Javale McGee
6M: Jose Calderon
7M: Landry Fields
8M: Chase Budinger

I personally hate to give up lottery pics. I just like the excitement of seeing who they draft.

They gave up Demar? If he was balling, then I'd be upset cause we gave up a good player and a pick

but if he was just aiight...then I guess a pic wasn't too bad to get a guy who is a beast in game
