Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just a few things:

- Getting an A+ is HARD! The best I have got so far in this game is A, but my average teammate grade is B and I'm 15 games in!

- I CANNOT crack the starting lineup in 15 games! I'm way outplaying J.Lin (starting PG) and I still can't get in. I've got about 6 double doubles in my 15 games, hit the 30pt mark, had 13 assists about 3 times. I'm averaging 12.1 points and 7 assists in 18 mins a game and they just wont replace Lin with me!

- A random funny thing I noticed, does anyone notice that when you get subbed in the game, the very next time someone scores they call a timeout instantly? lol, happens every game.

- Another random thing, I had a freethrow release at Excellent (A-) and it missed. My rating was only 78 free throws, but still...

That's all I can remember for now

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Anybody getting way too many turnovers as a PG? It's not as bad as 2K12 where it's impossible to make any kind of pass without a defender getting a hand on it, but it still feels like at time the defenders still have eyes in the back of their heads and an uncanny reaction to passes. I usually average 5-10 turnovers per game. Granted, I also average over 10 assists a game most of the time too though.

Maybe it's just me forcing bad passes.

Hi all ya.

This are some of my thoughts about mycarrer. I've started playing this weekend and have a scoring 6'6" sg that was drafted to the warriors and a athletic 6'4" pg that was drafted to the blazers. First of all the rookie showcase logic is weird. With my sg I've put up 37 pts. 4 rbs and 4 as and 3 stl I was the player of the game but still ended up with the 7th pick same, with my pg 26 pts 7rb 6 as 5 stl 2 bl and I'm going 6th to the blazers. But whats the strangest part for me is that I'm not a starter, in both cases they pick me up in front of players, Lilard and Barnes, that are in the strating five instead of me, wtf?
Easy way to fix this would be to make two games one would be rookie showcase and then after the draft you get to play in an inner scrimmage whith your new teamates if you play well you can crack the starting 5.

As far as my impressions of the mode goes I find it harder to get VC than it was to get SP. The trade logic is still bad i've played center with my sg and PF with my pg wtf?

After those two days of playing I feel like the mode was a bit overhyped, the new stuff is nice but I would rather see my player in the starting 5 from day one with a bit higher rating than having a closet where I can buy some stuff for him...

And one more thing I wonder how did Ronny2K end up with 78 rating on draft day...

Just experienced this last night with my sg mine keep freezing after one game so I been playing other modes to get vc so I used those on my player and got his rating to 72 when I tried to play my first game again they subbed me in at every positions and when I was at center I was Having to guard Dwight Howard and Jordan hill which killed my grade so in hoping this patch fix this

I just cracked the starting lineup, and Brandon Jennings lost 11 minutes. Hopefully I stay in the starting lineup. I won NBA Player of the Month for December, and I am in January right now. I got 3 endorsements after one day, and to cap it off, i'm a starter. The GM even said he would look into trading Brandon Jennings. *Victory*

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I remember the other things I was gonna say

- How can plays be broken again? This happened when the game first came out last year and they had to patch it in. You would think after what happened then that they would make sure it didn't happen this time!

- You lose so much for "bad call for pass" and half the time it isn't a bad call, I'm wide open. You never lost half of the amount that you lose this year...

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

So i just started a my career. I am a 6'8 athletic sg. In the rookie showcase i scored 49 points 9 rebounds 3 assists 3 steals and 2 blocks. The game went to triple overtimes and thats how I scored alot. I also finished with a teammate grade of A.

Got Interviewed by Cavs at 4, Bobcats at 2 and Gs at 7 i believe. I was projected to go 4th overall but ended up with the 2nd overall pick.

just wondering has anyone else got 2nd or 1st? Dont want to go through all 60+ pages of posts to find out

It might be you dude, no offense. I'm averaging 7 assists and only 1.9 turnovers a game (and I thought that was WAY too high coz I have made some bad passes)

Has anyone bought a head band from the store? I got one yesterday and was disappointed that it is white. Is there a way to change the color?

[achieveduser]

I have 71 ovr pg and averaging just below 4 turn overs a game. My passing, dribble, ball security are all just around 70s.

Turn overs from my risky passes are all my own doing. I have zero complains about that. Actually I noticed there are more kicked ball violations this year which saved me from turning the ball over in many situations.

Also I get the ball stripped every now and then while executing dribble moves.. I prefer it this way. Without this kind of risk and reward system, I'm so tempted to cheese the CPU with dribble moves.

Yeah so turn overs are just perfect for me this year. It gives my rookie player something to improve on later in his career.

I've spent all my VC so far on Off/Def awareness.. I went up 10 points overall (64-74) with my center.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I just started a new PG and was drafted by Portland. The first two games of Portland's schedule are the Lakers followed by the Thunder.

In the Laker game, I was substituted in against Kobe at the SG position in the second quarter -- because I've played 100's of games with the Lakers from 2k10 to 2k12, I know some of the ai tendencies, and I was able to draw 3 fouls on Kobe (including a flop)... Steve Kerr and Clark Kellog were going crazy about how Kobe would be sitting on the bench for the whole third quarter...

Well, I was substituted in the game again at SG in the fourth quarter... and this time Kobe really humbled me. The first possession he dragged me from the baseline for an intensity 85 layup, and then the next play he demanded the ball from Nash and proceeded to nail a contested 3 with my hand on his face... at this point, the coach had enough and sent me to the showers.

It was awesome. lol.

Thanks, but does it really make your player/myCAREER better? I had my Off/Def awareness to 93/95 in 2K12 and I don't know whether it made me better or not. I know that defensive awareness makes you a better on-ball defender, but what about offensive awareness?

As long as your other key offensive skills are maxed, it helps... personally, before increasing awareness, I always increase "shoot in traffic" and "shoot off dribble" for offense and "on ball D" and "steals" for defense... also "hands" helps a lot in both offense (catching the ball) and D (preventing reach-ins).
