    Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

    Currently in my 8th season with my SF and he's on the Heat averaging iirc 29.5 ppg, 9.9 rpg, and 6.2apg. The thing is in myCareer is that there is a lot of generated players who are great in it which is crazy.

    There is a SF on the Orlando Magic who is basically a 6'11 Small Forward who is basically Kevin Durant and along with the SF there's also a Center who basically a Dwight Howard clone who is faster, has a mid range, and a post game lol.

    Then the Trailblazers and Pistons both have SF who are crazy good defensively and both have 90+ block. They constantly give me trouble finding open shots but I still shoto good %'s against both. The Small Forward on the Pistons gives me the most trouble due to him having a great team who can shoot 3's, he has Lawson and Heyward and both goes off from 3 constantly.

    I'm currently about 6 games until the playoffs and we're in the 2nd seed with the Celtics being in 1st, it's definitely gonna be a interesting playoffs.

      Editing Playbooks in My Carreer

      So I have been playing around trying to get good plays in my teams playbooks for my career mode since I signed with the rockets after my third year and their playbook stinks for my playstyle.

      I modified playbooks in-game using the normal method from the options menu outside of any game mode. I then save the roster file. I copy the playbook tables from the roster file into the my career file using Leftos' roster editor. Here's where the problem comes in. I load up the my career file and head to scrimmage to test out my new, awesome playbook with plenty of floppy screens for open threes for harden and easy assists for me (and a few nice post plays for the bigs, esp since D12 signed with houston, too).

      The plays are all there! It would be nice if I could figure out how to assign specific plays to a specific player beyond just the playsets (3PT, midrange, post, etc), but that's something I can live without if necessary.

      So then I start up my next came thinking that the changes would carry over into the game. This is where I run into problems - THE PLAYBOOK IS BACK TO THE OLD GARBAGE PLAYS! really frustrating as you could imagine. I go back out to scrimmage and they are my new plays, but I go into a game and its the old junk plays I am trying to get rid of.

      Anyone no here with some experience in Leftos' editor, editing playbooks, changing playbooks/plays in my career, etc. that can give some advice on this problem? It's be really nice to be able to have plays that work with the team I have, not ones designed for other players.

        I wasn't even aware you could change playbooks for mycareer. I thought once you start a mycareer whatever happens, happens and you can't change it.



        anyway, on my 6th season in my pg account and my 3rd season with the lakers. after being asked to be the go to guy (for this well below 500 franchise), making trades here and there, winning one championship and getting swept in the the conference finals. The last thing i need to make us a great team again is another big. like a 7fter who can start right away for us. cuz honestly we get beat up on the boards cuz we play small ball(terrence jones as pf and jj hickson at center).

        My first problem in my 1st and 2nd season with the lakers was we got picked apart by 3pt shooting teams, cuz we had no 3pt shooters of our own. Now we have 3pt shooters but all of our bigs either retired or got traded so now were basically a western conference miami. Teams like utah, minnesota, memphis, and boston eat us alive with second chance points. And my team is terrible at defense, we still leave 3pt shooters wide open no matter what defensive play i make, but we manage a little better now because we have more(not as many as i want though)3pt shooters. the last piece of the puzzle is to get another 3pt shooter who plays lock down defense in our starting lineup. But that will come once i get a 7fter or 2.

        Aside from all that, were about to go to the playoffs and it looks like we may be able to get a ring this year, after getting swept by houston the year before by there 3pt shooting cheese.

          Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

          Hi I'm new to nba2k I bought my first game 2 weeks ago and I have been addicted to my career ever since I created my player.

          I created an athletic Center who is 6"8 and is reasonably light for a center I think he's 230 pounds (a very stupid rookie mistake on my part). I was graded I think a B- with some stats that I'm not to proud of. I then was drafted by the Celtics after bombing the interview with the Bucks because they were expecting me to spend my whole career there LOL.

          I started as 6th man posting okay grades and stats (for a 5 min qtr sixth man) in my first month and a half until, Bradley broke his foot. Garrett then replaced his position which opened up a the center position for me!

          As my first game as starter I went well winning recording a few rebounds and assists after a few weeks our team was hanging around .500 then, we went on a 5 game losing streak which we finally snapped against the 76ers. I then started to hit form with Rondo and Garrett we won nine straight before losing a close game to the bulls. I continued my good form to win the rookie of the month award .

          After having a brilliant second month starting Bradley was scheduled back to return I was kicked back to six man after we were smashed by the Lakers by 11 pts. I then played an A- and a B+ performance off the bench that kicked Bass out of his starting spot. (Who was replacing Green because he was benched because of problems with management I'm guess because he wants out in the rumor mill). I took the center spot causing a shuffle with Bradley and Garrett. We then played a game against the nuggets where I was the player of the game and had and A+ performance. I then was selected for the Prospects game I think it's called but it simmed the game automatically for some reason and I played poorly. I then played the Lakers and we won a good game in overtime where I made the game sealing rebound and I was fouled. Garrett gave it right back to them with 10 seconds to go by throwing it out! I was so pissed but he made up for it by defending Kobe Byrant's shot and winning the rebound with 2 seconds left. we won by 1 point.

          We are 34-20 and I'm looking forward to the playoffs now have a permanent starting spot because no one is injured and I think Green will be traded.

          The game has only glitched 3 times when I was playing so far. Once during a replay. Once after a basket where the PF refused to throw it in and wasn't called with the violation after standing there for 2 minutes with the ball and lastly when the game just wouldn't resume after the 1st qtr ended no ball was handed to any player we were just waiting there doing nothing.


          I have some questions about the game because I'm new to it and am still learning:

          Is the prospects game available to sophomores and do you automatically get selected for it or do you have to perform well?

          Is 6"8 too small for a center?

          What is the purpose of Chemistry, Fans and Home Fans %?

          What happens when you have 100% Chemistry?

          What are the best attributes for an athletic center to level up?

                Yea 6'8 is to small for a center, a center should be at least 6'10. Nothing happens when you have 100% chemistry except you get the ball more when you call for it. And good attributes are vertical, defensive and offensive rebounding. Post moves, defensive awareness, and that's all I can think of right now.

                  Have to wonder how many close games people have lost because your player has to play 40 min. I try to put up shots because my team is sucking and watch my FG% go down throwing bricks because I'm too tired.

                      when you have 100% chemistry they do pass you the ball more when being called for it but they actually play a little better compared to a team with lower chemistry.

                        My third My Career I have a Athletic SG on the Denver Nuggets. With Iguodala on the team it could be awhile before I start They have been playing me at SG, SF and PG. Starters right now are Lawson, Iguodala, Chandler, Faried and McGee. We are 3-1 losing to the Heat. What players would you ask for to make the team better when I meet with the GM? So far I'm averaging 17.5 pts, 4.5 reb. and only 1 assist.

                              Playing my SG Career drafted by the Nuggets. Asked for a trade and only listed the Bulls. Two games later I was starting SF for the Nuggets and I was going to call off the trade. Boom, I find myself in a Bulls starting lineup at SG. Sweet! Ok here is the bad... Magnus Kane, JaVale McGee for Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
