Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I assume there is no way to downgrade a sig skill. I want to go back to Bruiser 1 because Bruiser 3 is just silly. Bruiser 3 doesnt even make sense. To do that much damage to someones stamina i would have to be punching them in the ribs every time I got close to them.

Also what happens at the end of my first contract? Will teams offer me a Kobe equivalent VC contract?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Started an Athletic 7' 255# center. Looked up Dwight Howards attributes and somewhat basing my guy on him.

Totally tanked the Rookie Showcase. By the 4th quarter I got myself down to a F score and then proceeded to foul out with about 2:00 left in game. Was intervired by IND, MEM and CHI. Told IND I didn't want to play for them. Was okay with MEM and begged CHI to draft me. Dafted by CHI.

We're on a 9-0 start a half game above IND in the conference. Number one in the Power Rankings for the second straight week. And trust me, its not because of my contributions that we're undefeated.

At the moment I'm averageing less than 10 min a game. 4.4 pts, 2.2 reb and less than 1 asst, stl & blk per game. I'm slated for 30 min a game in the rotation at #6. Started out with a 63 OVR and now up to a 65. <SARCASM>Due too my outstanding grasp of this game and my increadible playing ability </SARCASM>I think I'll be starting within a couple of games.

12 games into the season I made the starting lineup as center. Moved Joakim Noah from C to PF and moved Carlos Boozer from PF to #7 on bench. I did notice when I came in off the bench at Center, Noah was moved over to PF most of the time

PG - Derrick Rose
SG - Richard Hamilton
SF - Luol Deng
PF - Joakim Noah
C - Me

Now to just get my stats up.

Rose and Noah are a great pair of guys to have on your team in MyCareer =)

I doubt it lol...I think my new contract is like 690 VC/year lol...VC contracts are perhaps the worst implementation in MC.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Why is it that when I'm moving around for position under the basket, if I'm on offense, I get stuck to the defender and can't move off and/or touch the defender and get pushed off in the opposite direction. If I'm on defense, the offensive player can move around and scoot right past me to get the ball for an easy put up?

Any tips on how to have better success with rebounds and blocks? I can never get my timing down right. Seems when I try to block right in front of a shooter, I'm a half a sec slow. I don't think I'm that old to losing my reaction.

If there are certain attributes to get raised, let me know. Any tips would be apperciated.

Thanks.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Sooo I'm new to the 2K Basketball Games. This is actually my 1st time playing the MyCareer. I'm in my Third season with the Dallas Mav's and we were put out of the playoffs last year in the 2nd round. We traded Vince Carter & Steve Marion and picked up Lebron James... My starting 5 is

PG: Darren Collison
SG: Justin Rodriguez (Me obviously)
SF: Lebron James
PF: Brandan Wright
C: Dirk Nowitzki

Since we picked up Lebron I've went from averaging 28.9 PPG to 20.8 PPG this season. What's up besides the fact that Lebron is obviously doing alot of shooting and Dirk isn't getting as much playing time??

I usually use the Right Stick(xbox) to get around, it does help you lose your man. While you are defending stay between your man and the basket, try use LT to block people from entering the paint.

for rebounds, you have to boxout and time your jump. dont jump right after the shot is made, jump once the ball reaches its highest point off the rim, it takes a little practice but it becomes automatic after a while. try position yourself on the other side of the rim when a shot is being made(if a shot is made from left side, try to be on the right side of the rim) I was averaging 10-11 rpg on 10 min quarters, once i got hold of it now I easily average 20+.

getting the timing for blocks also takes time, also use LT and RS to auto-contest and use the block button if your 100% sure, also most blocks I make are while I am sliding on help defense. it takes a little time but with practice you should be able to time your block better.

for rebounding and blocking you need vertical, defensive awareness, off/def rebounding and block attributes.

Finally figured out a decent way to make VC. I have a 7'1" pf/c who is at 99 overall. I stopped playing him because he is basically unstoppable. He is in his second season right now. So, I changed the mins/quarter down to 5 min with 5 min sim. He plays around 17 min a game. I only play the key games and since getting an A+ is super easy with a center I end up with 450-500 easy in 20 mins. 1300-1500 in an hour is nice!

Question....what is the right height for a sg/pg? I tried a 6'5" athletic sg but he ends up being sg/SF. I do not want to be guarding LeBron at that height! It might just be easier to go as a tall pg I guess.

I'm a 6'7" pg and i dont play any other position. I think you gotta be a starter with a high overall so they don't put you in your secondary pos. I'm with the hornets and our sg is xavier henry (eric gordon was traded to get me). Oh wait this was my first pg. Havent played my second mycareer pg. Got drafted 1st so i deleted the first one i did.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Started over with a 6'3" pg drafted to golden state. IMO the warriors are one of the best teams to get drafted by because of their shooting and curry will be a great backup pg. In my first game I had 11/7/6/2 on 38% shooting. I think I'm going to grow this player slowly by getting him up to be a good defensive pg and great passer then work on shootin 3-4 years down the road. What you guys think?

I just did this and am having so much more fun than my scoring machine PG forced to play at SG. I love not having a reliable jumper at all, getting more realistic games now. wish i started over a long time ago since I wasted so much VC on my first guy. new dude started after 5 games, and I am leading the league in assists after 11 games. will never use any signature skills either, I enjoy Pierce and Terry missing wide open jumpers when i kick it to them...

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Re-rolled and made a athletic 6'10 Center. After 3 teams over two seasons I finally arrived in Orlando.
Growing up as a Magic fan, I watched Shaq and Howard leave for LA.
Not this time =)

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I think everyone is going with a little less of an offensive type of late. If you start out with scoring stats being the lead leader your first year is a given IMO. What I do with my 6'9" sf is only ale shots when it is a specific play for me or on a rebound. You still end up dominating the game but the rest of the team seems more involved. Scoring 40+ is fun. Averaging 40+....not so
Much.

Anyone average more than 2 spg with a sf/PF/c? In this I mean on HoF. I have yet to win a defensive MVP award because I have such a hard time getting steals w/o fouling. Blocks are very hit or miss for me also (avg around 2 but IMO that sucks for 99 block guy). Every guard that comes in on me splurging moves the ball to the side of my hand. Then of course I am then out of position for the rebound and hence get my grade killed. ...but that is a complaint for another day.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

You complain to ur GM about it. And then he says he will try to do something about it but it still might not happen. Id say if u complain enough he will take care of it. I just complained today about a certain player but i still have to wait and see if something happens

Im my season the GM just offered out of the blue. I had not complained at all.
