Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

The one and ONLY thing I have a complaint about in this game is that Run Plays for the CPU in MyCareer doesn't work. Otherwise this game is more or less flawless.

Definitely agree.

That is my only gripe about this mode. That is why I chose a PG. I usually have multiple careers having at once. But, I dont want to freestyle as a SF or PF.

As a PG, at least I can call plays myself.

I might go to the GM and complain about Vasquez.

I am not sure if that will work much. I did that in the beginning of the season about Devin Harris.

I think you might have to answer negatively, when the GM asks about it. I JUST did it, so the commentators might talk about it next game.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I would love to see this article on bleacher report. I saw Lillard play 3 games last year while Weber St was at a tournament at Saint Mary's. Surprisingly, he would begin the games as the most pass happy player I saw. He probably took 5 shots in the first half of each game and rather passed the ball to his teammates. The thing is his teammates were horrible and could not make a shot. They would start off the second half losing and he would pretty much just say "forget this" and become a "ballhog" and win his team the game. Now I only saw him for 3 games, so who knows, maybe he was just being nice that week.

Here ya go

Just had an 11 pts 5 boards 8 assists 3 steals 1 block. and 1 turnover .. yet that was all of a C+ performance though I won my position battle I shot 5 of 14.. I couldn't hit a jump shot still if you scored points throwing the ball into Lake Superior.. hope to get the timing right on the release soon so I don't have to force layups to score

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

the refs dont like me. i keep getting hacked in the paint which makes me miss a ton of layups, and i cant get a foul called.
the cpu gets the call almost everytime they're attacking the basket

The game allows moving screens.. figured out that's why I can't stay with a PG when I'm on defense.. the big guy runs along with him setting the illegal pick to allow the open shot..

To me, the grading system is still a joke, you get punished far more for some stuff than you get rewarded for positive stuff..

Everything has been going fine until the last game I played.. ended up with 13 pts 4 rebounds 5 assists and 5 turnovers.. only had 2 turnovers going into the 4th quarter when my teammates forgot they had to help me bring the ball up when being pressed.. twice I was "directed" out of bounds by the defense and once the guy I passed to let it go through his hands.. BEFORE the 3 extra turnovers I still only had a D+ grade because of not getting help defense on picks.. way too many open shots and they make them all because I can't get through defenders to them to at least contest a shot. When the 4th quarter started I started attempting layups again, made a couple.. missed a bunch and ended with a D grade for the game. Got an entire 9 SP for that waste of a game.. worse yet the team won by 26 points! Portland over Sacramento.

The game started calling over the back fouls on me, all of a sudden, just like 2k12 did at one point. It's not over the back if the guy I'm rebounding against is facing me!

I've come to terms that we're not going to make the playoffs in my rookie season😔 seeing how we are already at 15-44. But oh we'll, at least we'll get a good draft pick. I'll continue to have a phenomenal rookie season, and do my best I guess. Got this billboard as I was writing this post..

Or maybe you don't have a good strength rating and/or the screener has the 'Brick Wall' signature skill.

The game will reward smart, team basketball with good shot selection. Pretty easy to get an 'A' grade in my sixth man role and still find a way to average 20/5/5.

Just a quick tip when being pressed. Use the post up, the continue in the direction your player is handling the ball with. Makes life a lot easier.👍

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Whats the deal with player weight being wrong?
My first PF i picked 250lbs, however I'm 230lbs
My second PF I picked 270 and its between 230-250lbs "forgot"
But neither guy is the weight I picked.

I get lots of 'good shots' they just aren't going in.. shooting 34% for the short season so far.. not even layups are going in. I understand it rewarding 'smart, team basketball,' but when the AI teammates continue to just get the ball and run around the court with it it's really lame

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I may just abandon the idea of an 'Athletic' PG and go with something where the attributes are already up and see if I can make shots

Go for 3pt specialist, It's got me shooting 55% and 53% without improving it. If you can run around, get open and get a good-perfect release your money from the get go
