Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Well after a couple of days grinding to get my speed to 90 as a 6'1 180lb scoring PG I did it. I also bought the first rank of the Dimer signature skill. I am trying to make myself like CP3 but more of a lock down defender Nike also have their newest face after the Kings J.J. Trey signed with them. My next game was against the Spurs and I went into it not having much hope of winning, especially with our two best players out for 1-2 weeks (Tyreke and Cousins).

Anyway, we won the match 99-98 I'm pretty sure (it was by one point whatever it was) and I had a career game in terms of points scoring 22 in around 25 minutes of game time. I also contributed 9 assists, 2 rebounds and a steal. I'm having a lot of fun on the Kings except I keep getting put in a 2 guard which I'm accepting due to the lack of Tyreke and me being one of the tallest point guards on my team.

Areas I want to improve on would be increasing steals, which would lead to my other goal of reducing fouls.

Any of you guys have tips on how to increase my steals? Right now my steal attribute is at 75.

Also, which signature skill do you guys prefer, interceptor or pick pocket?

Interceptor. For me personally it's a lot easier to anticipate steals off ball vs. trying to steal it from someone on ball and possibly picking up a reach in foul.

Well my steals are at 90 and I can barely get the ball from bigmen. I'm thinking in order for us to be able to rip people more often, we would have to but some sig. Skills.

Hey guys, got a question.

I've heard that you eventually get to create your own shoe. And when you do this, you can get an attribute bonus of your choice.

And I just heard a rumor that this only works if you chose Nike. PLEASE tell me that isn't true.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

First attempt at the Rookie game for 2k13.. 11th pick by Portland.. made a PG .. 22 points 5 assists 4 rebounds.. but 5 turnovers in the rookie game.. had a terrible first half figuring out the new shooting, but I think I'll like the left trigger right stick combo for everything but jump shots which I'll probably always use the X..

Been playing NHL13 for a while and had to get used to a bit slower speed game than hockey again the first few minutes also :wink:

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I don't know if anyone else can verify but it seems to me overall rating is the sole determiner for being a starter or bench. I talked to GM numerous times but as soon as I was 1 number OVR higher than the PG I was named starter. I was banking VCs for about 10 games and old PG went up 2 OVR and took my spot immediately. So I went in and jacked up my off awareness and once I was 1 better OVR I got starter back right away.

Is this same for you too? I thought it was based on performance but don't anymore.

Makes sense cause on the Hornets they have Anthony Davis starting over me, and once he go a day-to-day injury, he was -7 from his total rating, and I now recently passed him in Overall and I'm starting.

Nah, I just made the all-star team and I'm a 87 overall SG on DAL. I come off the bench, and so does OJ Mayo, he gets less minutes than I do. It seems my coach is starting any of the other SGs that arent us.

I also find this to be true, I get most of my steals from pass intercepts. However, due to that it might make more sense to go with pick pocket as it would boost your chance of getting a steal in an area where you are less capable, I don't know, just what I thought of then haha.

They picked up my team option. I rushed through my final season with them by just fouling out of each key game. I just wanted to get out of there.

I had a quite a few offers. My top 3 choices were ATL, IND, and LAL. JSmoove and Horford were the main reasons on my interest, but they had no body else at all. I wasnt interested in LAL until I realized they had no one at PG, but Kobe and Gasol probably didnt have much more time. IND had the most depth, but didnt want to face Bulls 4 times. But, that didnt stop me from choosing IND. All of the starters are solid(Me, George, Granger, Boozer, Hibbert), very athletic team, solid defensively. We also have Taj Gibson and Andy Varejeo(SP). That was what I was looking for. I wanted a athletic team that had solid depth in the frontcourt. I am anxious to play with them. I just want them to trade Devin Harris. I already said negative things about him to the GM. If we could either get a backup spot up shooter or a backup defensive wing, that would be good.

Even though I was highly rated(92, didnt buy any VC or play online), I only was offered a max of 517 VC a year. I could of got a 650 VC a year contract from IND, but blew it. I thought there would at least be a 1000 per year contract. I signed a 5 yr 500 VC contract.

I can agree with this.

I was the highest rated player on team, but I was a 6th man. Because I intentionally playing bad so I can get outta there.

I'm starting but I don't have a higher overall than the guy at my same position.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Wow my team is very consistently bad on defense. We routinely give up 120+ points against every team we play, we get blown out by the Bobcats for God's sake. I play on 12 minute quarters on Hall of Fame default. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This same thing is happening to me and I hate it. I hope 2k patches this. It's almost like playing on a certain difficulty the game is predetermined. You will win by 15-20 on pro but you will lose by 10 points on all star. This is almost ruining the game mode for me. They gotta patch that.
