Has anyone fully maxed out their player? By this I don't mean rated 99 but gotten the highest possible in every attribute?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

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.

The best way I've found is to break the team record in points by one point each time in big games. I'm on the Kings and every time I play a big game I get at least 1000 VC. Also, I seem to sometimes get a hefty game play bonus (I believe this happens when you push your A+ past the limit a ways.

Lastly, any of you do the 3 on 3 blacktop runs with your players? I've got a couple guys who are starting a team with me and I'd like to get some games in if any of you run on there. My gametag is SteakandPotatos and I've got the PS3.

Also, is it possible to use your my player in a 5x5 traditional online game? The blacktop gameplay is much different IMO.

One great reason to be on the Bobcats is that most of their records are low. I think they have a high score of 43. I like your idea if just making it to the new record.

Yeah I think the first time I broke the Kings it was in the low sixties. I played every game of my rookie year so I would just wait and try and break the record again during big games so I could get the automatic 400 for it (200x2).

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Got another question, if you go to "My Player Card" you can see your ratings etc, and my status went to "Starter" towards the end of my rookie year. I'm now in year two, coming off of a League MVP, a Finals MVP, and a championship. I am rated a 97 and 2nd best player in the league. Yet my status is still "starter."

When does it update?

It doesn't ^^^

No matter what happens, whenever someone dives for a loose ball that's going out of bounce it always gets thrown to the CPU teams advantage.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

What is the consensus of whats the best quarter lengths to play at?

Been playing 5 min with 12 simmmed.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Ι had to google translate "consensus" but I think I got your point :P

Unlike football (or soccer) games, time is really a factor in basketball games.. If you play 5min quarters the final score should be around 60-65 points for each team, depending how good you're playing, while the 12sim quarters give the other teams the standard scores that could happen in an actual NBA game. Long story short, you must be really really good to catch up in the statistics.

Many people either play 8min quarters or 12min but skip half the games because lets be honest, who wants to play an entire hour a single game? I hope there was an easier way like in football games as I mentioned above, where a 10 min game can be what is needed and fully rational in the final score.

I hope you understood half of the things I said, I try to improve my English

Fully understood. Thanks for the response.

Well, I really suck, so I better bump up the minutes in the games.

I didn't know there was a way to sim the rest of the game once you started it. Will have to look for it.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

When you select "Play Next Game" there is also an option "Play Next Key game". If you select that, a lot of matches will be skipped... You can see your Key games in your schedule, they have a glowing square around them (something like that, anyway :P)

Oh, okay. I knew about that. I thought you were saying that you could play the first half of a game and then sim the second half of the game.

My fault. Just looked back at your post and misread it. You explained it correctly, I just misread.

You can just intentionally foul till the 2nd half

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

What is the criteria to get your GM to ask you which players around the league the team should trade for? 2nd season in and my team (Magic) are 14-45 lol ><

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I've attempted to find an answer for this in here, and elsewhere online, but to no avail. In My Career, how does one get traded to the team they prefer? I've tried this 3-4 times in the past few weeks, requesting whatever team I'm drafted to for a trade to the Cavs (I'm a SF), but I'm always traded elsewhere, even when the Cavs are one of the teams listed in the "Teams Interested"...I've tried listing 3 teams, with the Cavs first...which got me traded to to my 2nd listed team, and I've also tried listing only the Cavs...which somehow got me traded to the Pistons....What's the deal?
