Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

how do you stop alley oops as a guard? I'm a 6'4" PG playing all my minutes at SG, and high flying guards seem unstoppable when alley oop'ed to. They just slide me out of the way, I try to always stay between them and the hoop and am in very good position. Once I jumped and was able to tip the ball slightly and cause a TO, but most of the time I feel helpless jumping as I watch my grade go down a half at a time..

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

sounds like you made the fatal flaw of starting a my career with the default rosters. You should have waited until a legit roster comes out with PROPER player tendancies and edits. Now, since 2k will not allow us to edit sliders/rosters, your stuck with a non-shooting Rose who always drive to the basket no matter what..

Yea, you're right. I hopped right into My Career with default rosters, that probably explains it.

Any links to any good rosters to use for PC...

And here I was going to complain that I'm tired of perfectly thrown alley-oops get that randomly generated "**** YOU, YOU GETTING A TURN OVER INSTEAD OF EASY POINTS". It's people like you who make it harder for the rest of us to enjoy the game and have at least ONE play in the game that is literally supposed to be a go-ahead bucket. i would understand throwing oops through traffic, and how that's not really supposed to happen. so even with the "ooper" signature skill not EVERY single alley-oop needs to be perfect.

but i mean, seriously... in the NBA you RARELY see a botched oop. mainly because of the athletic ability of both players, but at the same time... that's like a "here you go, buddy. easiest points of your life right here" move.

if i'm any self respecting PG in the NBA, or even any guard for that matter, if I'm going to throw an oop, it literally just needs to be in the vicinity of some of the best players in the game for them to make the catch and then the throw down.

i would understand if more frequently the ball catcher misses the dunk, because you do see that sometimes. but my issue last year with 2k12 was that people would raise their hands when they can't even see where the ball is and they would react faster than the player i was throwing the ball to, that's just unfair.

what you have now is the anti-cheese engine or something, i dunno... where you still get a perfectly timed pass with a perfectly athletic player streaking to the basket and they miss the ball in the air resulting in a TO.

it's always key situations for the defense too. say i'm on the wrong end of a 12-2 run and i'm streaking down the court with the ball in my hand and J.R. smith trailing behind me. i drive opposite of my player to create a lane for the oop, making sure the defender can't knock the pass down. i've had 3 other oops to him this game, i have my ooper signature skill and i THROW IT UP OH ****TTTT!!! only to have him drop the ball in the air to the defender.

also, i'm playing on pro default settings and how come dirk, kaman, and VC are all super tired with like 8 minutes left to go in the game?

it's like, if you want me to win, they gotta be able to do SOMETHING.

dirk has his closer sig skill, but because he's so tired he misses wide open jumpers and can't score in the post that well.

i dunno... iv'e lost 3 close games in the 4th because i can't keep dirk fresh in the 4th.

I'm on HOF/Sim and the same thing happens to Dirk. Luckily for me I'm now good enough to carry the team when needed.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Does anyone's minutes and position end up like this? I play like 7 minutes in the first half and the rest in the second and all through the 4th quarter, meaning my player is tired! As a 6'3" PG I'm even sometimes put in as Power Forward. Will this happen as a starter? I'll explain below:

It's happened on two careers, both for different teams (at first I didn't think it was a bug, but since it happened twice at different teams I'm not so sure) . I started the season well and after the 5th game I chose to be sponsored by Nike. Before this, my minutes were pretty evenly distributed between the first and second half. However, after the 5th game my minutes have increased to 25MPG and above, I spend the majority of my playing time in the 2nd half, playing all the way through the 4th quarter. For example, at 25 minutes I played 7 first half minutes and 18 second, and all 12 of the 4th. So when you've got stamina to contend with, it's not good for your energy levels. I will have little or no stamina remaining with 5 minutes to go. Highly frustrating when in close game situations. Also, as a 6'3" PG, I sometimes am put at PF. The same thing happens up until 31 minutes. I did not become a starter in either career yet, so I am wondering if my minutes will even out between halves once I become a starter, or will I start the game, play 10 minutes and play the whole 2nd half? I would like to know an answer.

Yea that used to happen to me, but it stopped eventually. It was like the I was supposed to play a certain amount of minutes, but the coach didn't know how to spread them out properly, so I'd play from like halfway through the 3rd until the end of the game straight.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Is it smart to start a new MyCareer since the roster update after spending 15k+ Vc on it.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

If I was you, continue with this career and unlock all the achievements.

When the patch comes out (god knows when, that fixes the CPU rebounding,playvision,...) and the season has started, then I would start a new career.

Just became a starter tonight and my minutes were distributed evenly. I think it was the fact that I was on 29 or something and the starters on 30 odd making it difficult to distribute through the whole team.

Go to the Menu - MyCareer - New and thats it.
You can't make a new MyPlayer acc i think but you can start as many careers as you want.

Go to "Meet the GM" in Career section and find "I demand a trade" and you can request a trade, but be warned, you probably won't get trade to the right team. I wanted to go to the Bulls and the Cavs GM traded me to Memphis (which I have no problems with Memphis).
