I decided to sim three games against Houston and a double header against the Kings which we one 1 and lost 1 against the Kings and Won at home against Houston.

    My last game was a key game against Denver and we blew them out by 20. I was able to do almost everything 24 points, 2 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Favors and Jefferson are so fun to play with and they are both monsters on the boards. In the three games without Millsap Favors has been amazing the game against the Wizards he grabbed 15 boards and scored 18 points while Jefferson had a career game with 48 points and 10+ boards and I don't know how we lost.

    One problem I'm having is when my stamina goes down late in the game I can't seem to make shots its at 99 but still affects me.

    Does the consistency attribute come into it because mines is only at a 65?

    Also thinking about getting Marvin Williams traded because Hayward is stuck on the bench.
    Yeah I hate when my stamina dies at the end of the game my coach subs me out at the wrong times I basically only sit almost all of the second quarter and after having him fired the new coach is stuck on the same gameplan. Dunks and Jump shots use the most stamina so I have to run off the ball plays to score late.

      Yep, I agree, Klay is great if you're a PG. Just run floppy miller or other screen plays for him, easy assists. And he's a gunner, he'll shoot anywhere and knocks it down almost all the time.

      Grab the closer sig skill (you get more energy gains off timeouts in the 4th if the game is close) or the Gatorade pack (you basically play 3 quarters haha). Consistency got more to do with shooting streaks/slumps. Just bump it up to about 75-80, you'll be good.

      Oh ok, well that's good for realism, kinda throws a wrench in my plans. I really wish they'd fix this so wouldn't have to go to drastic measures just to work around it. Hopefully devs are already aware, since I noticed one recently posted here.

      Any one know an aging star player that's a free agent in summer 2016? Maybe I'll get lucky and they won't extend him. I notice the CPU tends to extend players frequently.

        So I recently picked this game back up after taking a few month break. I deleted my old my player account and started new. I made my player a 6'7" Athletic PG. In the rookie showcase I scored 32pts, grabbed 8 boards and dished 8 assists. I then got interview by the Hornets, the Cavaliers, and the Kings. I ended up blowing my interview with the Hornets somehow and got drafted 4th overall by the Cavs.

        I noticed that the mismatch made it really easy to play defense on Damian Lillard, so I got a lot of teammate grade for that. Hustle made it easy to grab long rebounds, and I could dunk during the Showcase. Also being athletic style makes it easy to run the fastbreak. You also are just naturally good at everything, not amazing, but good, so if you have a decent amount of skill you can make the plays happen. If you want to go 4th overall or at least in top 10 give this a try.

        I am now in my rookie year averaging 22pts, 4 ast, 5 reb, and shooting like 90% free throws. I better win rookie of the year for this! I got moved to shooting guard though which is annoying because I am a play maker and I want the ball in my hands. I also get put at PF sometimes which is dumb.

        Good Luck!

          Finally we made from trades to improve this Cavaliers team. Here is how we look now,

          PG - Mario Chalmers
          SG - Me
          SF - Rashard Lewis
          PF - Chris Bosh
          C- Jonas Valančiūnas

          Now we can shoot the ball at just about every spot. It's also nice to have Chalmers because he used to kill my teams with his three point shots.

            I'm a 6'8 250LB shooting guard and I play PG, SF and PF some times. So I guess within a certain height, you can play multiple positions.

              Man I'm hyped... Just finished the first round of playoffs... Me (Hornets) vs the Spurs (8th seed) and we won the crucial game 7... In game 1 we lost Anthony Davis (torn mcl, out for 10-12 months) and Vasquez (out 2-4 months) and on game 6 we lost Gordon as well (1-2 weeks) but I had an awesome game with 41points, 5rebs, 11assists, 2 blocks and 5 steals... The Spurs gave me a hard time but we are moving on!

                Man, the Magic are actually tough in this game. Big Baby is cheesy as hell with the Brick Wall signature skill and JJ Reddick refuses to miss (yeah, I know he's on the Bucks now). On another note, I've found the Chris Smoove (Release 42/Base 26) jump shot to be easy to use; I just don't like the look of it.

                  Hey guys for the people who asks about the glitch with your My Career own created shoes of having a plain white or black or grey shoes, I found a way to fix it.

                  Just exit your My Career Mode and try to edit your shoes from the home menu. Then after that save it as usual then load your Career Mode then equip it to your player. To check it if it's successful, just go to Edit Player and check if you could see your own shoes now.

                  I don't have to borrow KD's or Kobe's anymore! I have my own with +4 attribute with my 3pt shooting.

                    This may be a stupid question to ask but since I've always played as a PG I don't know how to set screens in order to run a play?

                    Everytime we run a play and I (SF) am supposed to set an off ball screen, i go to the position where the screen should be set and when i set it the Play just disappears? What am I doing wrong?
                    I just press B for the screen as usual

                      Doesn anyone know how to influence trades better, ive put down a number of names for my gm and hes only ever got one (greg oden for chalmers). Playing for the heat, i need a new sg soon as dwade is starting to lose his touch, preferably one with good 3pt shooting, any one know a player who is like that and would be easy to get?

                        I'm interested in making another save along with my new PG, Probably a bigman so I can have a save where I can control the team and dictate things and another where I can help the team under the rim and be a force on D.

                        I was thinking either a defensive/rebounding Power Forward or Center.

                        If it was a PF I was sort of thinking along the lines of a Rodman type undersized rebounding machine. Center sort of like a Dikembe Mutombo defensive machine with a better offensive game .

                        Anyone had experiences with these types and what is the better position to try?

                          This is a known and reported issue. The two options are to: never do a screen, or delay doing the screen as long as you can.

                          I let the play run as long as I can before setting the screen (eg. let the other player get to their assigned positions on the floor) and then set the screen. Usually the play will follow through - although the blue/grey lines will be gone.

                              Wow okay..

                              It's just so embarrasing 2K.. I mean a few bugs and glitches, okay, every game has that and I'm okay with that. But in this game there are just so many HUGE glitches.. I mean this is another basic thing and without being able to run plays properly it takes a lot away from the game experience

Steals is the only single season record I have but I have points, field goals, 3pts made, assists and steals single game records. I'm also still chasing my first 5x5 game as a 6'5" athletic pg I still can't get blocks I haven't figured out a trick to it yet.
                                Closest I've gotten is 32 rebounds. It's possible. You have to grab every defensive rebound. I manage to grab 10 offensive rebounds too, and got 32 overal rebounds.
