Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I got some more...

- playing time: right now i get to play 40 minutes per game (12 min quarters) which is nonsense because the entire 4th quarter I'm on 50% energy and even if we're 30 pts in the lead they never sub me out. I already have an A+ or an A rating, what more do you want me to do? It can only go worse for me from that point on. What kind of coach keeps his starters playing when the game has been won already? There NEEDS to be a way for the player to ask to be subbed out and the coach logic need a LOT of work

- Grading logic is ridiculous, too. 40 point lead, A+ rating, 2 mins to go, 6 steals on my name, get called for a reach-in foul (1st foul in the game) = huge drop in rating, a yell from the coach threatening to bench me?? They were not in the bonus, I didn't reset their shot clock from like 3 secs left, it was near the half court, what's the big deal? Few seconds later I commit a turnover- another huge rating penalty, well- we're still 40 points in the lead, so again- what's the big deal here? Guy scores a lucky 3 pointer with 5 secs on the game clock left - huge rating drop- wow, you let our victory margin slip from 40 to only 37 points? SHAME ON YOU, SCRUB.

- half the time you don't get credit for contesting a shot even if your hand was right in the shooter's face

- AI pass the ball right through your hands

- AI shoot the ball right through your hands

- AI dunk the ball right through your hand

- AI dribble right through you, no contact. Should've made some screenshots, it kinda looked like the Human Centipede.

- PG, after basket inbound play, no defender in our half of the court, call for pass by mistake after trying to skip the replay- "BAD CALL FOR PASS"

I agree, but its hard to blame 2k for the minutes thing. Imagine how many kids will be throwing their controllers because they were up 30 and subbed out but they had 90 points and wanted to get 100. 2k has to appeal to these casual fans, its their biggest market.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

to decrease your minutes when you get subbed out let the game play out instead of rushing back in.

foul out/foul trouble

call time outs at weird times in games or foul at odd times. anything to get coach mad at you to make him put u on bench.

I'm finishing up my last MyCareer play-through with a PG on the Lakers. The GM actually signed and then traded Dwight Howard to Houston. (playing with rosters as they were in mid-march.)

Right now, the 5th seeded Clippers are playing us (1-1) in the 1st round of the play-offs.

You mean let the time click before pressing "a" to get into the court? I was watching the clock and i think it stops ticking, so i thought thats a sign for me to get in. I'll watch this if it will continue to tick without me pressing any button.

I usually commit intentional foul for the coach to pull me out. Unrealistic, but that's the only way....but I dont like the big ding in my rating because of it.

Or if the option is in there, when I talk to the GM about giving a player from the bench more time to play, but as soon you use this, it takes awhile to have it back again in the dialogue option.

I think I like my new character, 6"8, SF and 3ptr. He's drafted by the Cavs (in Dione position, only seeing Dione was still drafted by Cavs). Challenging and not always ball-hog, unlike when Im playing as PG. I think in nba2k14, i'll do this SF first in mycareer.

yeah when you get subbed out just let your player sit on bench until coach call him again. So if you don't mind watching the cpu play than its good.

b/c it gives minutes to other players while taking some off you allowing you to fully rest up.

another thing if the time you spend on bench to short or want to give more time to other players. when you see your player going towards announcement table sim until you come back in.

if you have a deep team it helps also b/c the coach won't rush to put u back in also keep the stamina low. helps i think

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Currently, Im using SF, 6"8, 3ptr (conc. my VC to improve my under the ring, inside shootings, vertical leap, rebounds and block).

During the 1st half my player will have a very high % of shooting, at times 7/8 in 3. But on the 2nd half, as if the ball does not fit the ring......im having difficulty to shoot unless its a clean layup. Even close and mid-range jumper, even when Im open, I always miss my shots.

Im tempted to buy the anti-freeze, microwave skill. WHat do you guys suggests? I dont want to have 50 pts per night, because even Jordan cant do that in 82 games. I am thinking of developing my player to a passer too, so even if i cannot get my shots in, at least i can still give awesome assist.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just (singlehandedly) got into a 3 point shootout with the entire Knicks team especially JR Smith.. This mofo shot 13-15 three's... Carmelo was 9-9 three's and Felton was 5-8 three's... This is ridiculous... I went 22-50 from three point range cuz my team decided they weren't gonna try to score or rebound AT ALL...these unrealistic outbursts from players who would never get these stats need fixin on 2k14...I mean how the hell does JR Smith drop 58 points on me but Derrick Rose goes 4-15 shooting and only 9 points!? :banghead:

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I just had the most ridiculous game. I'm playing as a shooting guard on the Suns. I should mention also that I'm playing on default difficulty and sliders, with eight minute quarters. I was made a starter just before the break, and managed to average 19 points for the season, and average 30 after the break.

So, I just played Game 3 of the Finals against the Bulls, and there was something in the water this evening. I put up 54 points, and made all 12 of my three pointers. I was feeling like not shooting any more threes after the first four went in. The team all year played a perimeter focused offense.

We're up 3-0 in the Finals, despite having to come back from two down in each of the previous series. Round 1 against the Nuggets was the toughest. That one took all seven games.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

im really hoping that in 2k14 some of the issues of mycareer will be addressed.

1. minutes of playing - i mean i play (41) more minutes than K. Irving (36 mins)

2. substitute - this might be hard and i dont know much about programming, but there are times that i will be put in the court for 20-30 secs and then pulled out again and sit for couple of minutes then be put again.

3. starters - should take more than 10 games (or even more) unless of course there's an injury to the starter.

4. improving your player - should not be easy, like physical aspect. this should be done more during the off season while offfense, defence and mental could come during the season and off season.

like vertical jumping for example, at the start say you have 30/75 during the season it is impossible to improve drastically to 70/75. unless of course you do jumping like a kangaroo every practice and not on shooting or playing defense.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Has this happened to anyone else during dribble: I try to do a simple hesitation (tap RS towards defender) but my player instead does a full spin straight forward and into the defender and drops the ball of course. Happens to me several times every game. Or sometimes I try to do a jab step and he does the same thing- starts dribbling and spins into the nearest defender. Or instead of hesitation/in and out he will do the ridiculous spin where he turns his back towards the opponent, does a very slow crossover (still with his back towards the rim/defender) and then a half spin. Very weird and annoying. Been happening to me for a long time.

I'm using "camera relative" settings for dribbling controls, I tried switching to "absolute" but it made it 2 times worse. Is it my controller? I haven't noticed any strange movements when using RS off ball.

I think its just your controller.

Probably my last game on my center in 2k13 - and the best so far.
