Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Hey guys...

I was just wondering if there is a way to raise a player's morale? I requested a trade for Deandre Jordan and I'm on the Mavs. ... I mean, dude still gets dunks and oops but he's not NEARLY as active on the boards or defensively as he should be.

Giving him minutes is not enough. You also need to give him a lot of touches and involve him in the offense. (Think of Pau Gasol irl currently).

Pass to him, even if you request the ball right back from him. Call picks and screens involving him, etc. and he'll slowly start having a better attitude and start becoming more active.

-New Topic: Toronto Raptors

I've come to the conclusion that Caldaron is built just like Austin Rivers... both really seem to be quite selfish while on the floor, even to the point of removing any momentum that might exist for their teams.

Also, DeRozen is really a streaky performer - I like him irl, but in the game so far he is so streaky I can't get him too involved out of fear that his bad streak will suddenly appear.

So far, they are a fun team to play on as long as you do not make any mistakes yourself. If you make a mistake or two, they seem to melt around you and never recover.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

OK, I have 6'7 240lbs athletic PG with a body like Lebron (Lol don't Judge me). I did have a point forward but he never brung the ball up the court nd I didn't like that. In my Pgs first season I teamed up with Wade nd Lebron was rookie of the year, made the all-star team, all-nba first team, all-defensive 1st team, led NBA in assist, and finals MVP. Lebron was MVP regular season. I play Hall of fame default BTW.

My 2nd season I requested a trade and went to the CAVs. We have the youngest team in the NBA by far. And I'm now the starting SG instead of PG. I actually like playing the SG position and taking over the scoring load this year with Kyrie Ivring at the point. Our starting lineup is

PG - Kyrie Irving
SG - My player
SF - Ray Allen (the only old guy on the roster
PF - Tristan Thompson
C - Tyler Zeller (Improving rapidly)

I got Dion Waiters and Perry Jones (from thunder ) putting up big minutes off the bench. It is really a fun team that I want to keep together for as long as possible with me being the star instead of in the shadows like at Miami.
Here's the problem.. Kyrie our starting PG overall has dropped 8 points I have no clue why.. Everyone on the roster overall has went up atleast 3 points (were on a 4 game win streak) were #5 in the East. Even Ray Allen overall is going up and he's old. I don't know anyway to get Kyrie back happy and I don't want him traded he's the next best Scorer on the team avg. about 18 ppg since I still move the ball around alot (8 assist per game, last year it was 12) but any tips on how I should handle this Kyrie situation???
Thanks.

I'm going to assume you looked at his health, so the next thing to look at is what changed from last year to this year. From your description, I'd guess that his scoring touches is an issue, with you taking over as the main scorer. Is his assist numbers down?

Your going to have to look at all the factors. There is an active thread this morning where they are discussing moral issues in Associations. Read that if you have not already, because it works in MyCareer the same way as it does for Associations. You just have less control over how to "fix" it here and you can not disable it in this mode. That thread should help you.

Thanks, and yeah his assist numbers went down a lot which may be the problem. I try to let him do his this thing offensively by giving him isos and calling plays. The only time he gets assist is when he passes to me when I'm coming off a screen or something. The last game against Philly he had 15 pts 2 assist and 3 turnovers probably because of the overall drop.

I find both Calderon and Lowry are less awesome as a PG than Steph Curry (since I came from GS).

Though ironically, as a 2 guard, they both have dimer and floor general. I just have to be proactive in calling for passes hehe. Lowry is alley oop happy (even if it's not a good idea...).

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I wish there was a way to change positions since my PG is now a starting SG. My stats should be compared to other SGs and not Pgs. Anyways my player isn't forcing enough turnovers on Hall of Fame difficulty. I'm debating if pick pocket is even worth it now with the reaching fouls going crazy. Interceptor is a big gamble since I'm a SG if I don't get the steal the opponent is gonna knock down a easy shot. My sigs right now are..

Floor General
Shot Creator
Defensive Anchor
Dimer
Finisher

Keep in mind I'm with the CAVs.. I think Floor General and Defensive Anchor is a must or we'd probably get killed. Tips?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Sorry I have to post this again but I need an answer urgently.

I have a 7Ft 2 Faceup Centre, and I got drafted 11th overall by the blazers in My Career. I finished my first season, playing every match, won MVP, Finals MVP, Leader in scoring, assists, steals, blocks and rebounds. Everybody on my team was happy, even though I took aldridge's starting centre position and he got the starting PF spot.

In my second season, there were a bunch of trades before it started, and JJ Hickson (who i loved playing with) got traded for Elton Brand. Now my minutes are cut from 33 to around 15 - 17, and brand is starting. It says 15 - 17, but i play around 25 minutes, and every two matches i get to complain to my gm about my playing time.

After this, I start for two matches, then its back to the bench, and then i have to do it again. In the beginning of the first season, where you get to pick a teammate you like playing wtih in the meet with gm thing, I chose aldridge. In the second season, I picked meyers leonard, because he looks for his shot, has post moves, and if he misses, I get the Offensive board. Now my main problem is, that aldridge is unhappy. And there was a rumour that he wanted a trade. I want to stop that. And maybe get a role as a permanent starter if I can. My teammate chemistry is 100%. Please help, sorry for the long post.

Have you downloaded the patch? I know the minutes glitch was highly problematic before the patch came out. However, since I downloaded it, my problem seems to be too many minutes lol. I often find myself fouling out of games on purpose if its a blowout.

Aldridge is a superstar so if he's getting a limited amount of touches or minutes, he's going to be unhappy. Go to the advanced stats page and see how many touches he gets over the course of the season.

From my experience, hof/sim is way too much cheese. If you prefer hof I would say default. However, superstar/sim seems to the be the best balance imo.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Been reading these forums a lot recently, but just now decided to post:

After a long 2k13 break (had to buy the game because I was using my friend's copy) I'm back to being obsessed with MyCareer. However, I come back and it seems way a lot easier than I remember--even too easy. Have a 6'7'' Athletic SF playing for the Celtics. We got our first chip with a Squad of Rondo, Bradley, Me, Josh Smith, and Al Horford (Was drafted as a SG, but after the GM asked me for some players I wanted, we ended up making a trade with the hawks). Was MvP and all that, so I decided to up the difficulty to HoF and the first game I end up dropping 50 on the Knicks. We ended up losing in overtime (I drop 50, Melo dropped 65), but it felt kinda easy making the buckets I made. Here are my stats:

Overall: 87
Shot Inside: 70
Shot Close: 80
Shot Medium: 90
Shot 3 PT: 60
F.T.: 70
Layup: 99
Standing Dunk: 60
Shoot in Traffic: 90
Shoot off Dribble: 80
Hustle: 77
Handles: 80
Off Hand Dribble: 70
Pass: 70
Low Post Defense: 49 (Plan on getting this up ASAP. Kinda had a roleplaying thing where rookie season was just raw scoring and second was a more refined player)
Hands: 99
Block: 70
Steal: 70
Speed: 88
Emotion: 50
Vertical: 90
Offense Boards: 70
Defensive Boards: 80
Durability: 95
Stamina: 90
Off Awareness: 90
Def Awareness: 80
Quickness: 90
Consistency: 80
On Ball Defense: 80
Strength: 80
Low Post Offense: 70
Post Fadeaway: 35 (Getting this up as well)
Post Hook: 35 (Same with the other post attributes)

Do my stats contribute to the easier feeling or am I not setting the game presentation correctly? This is really my first 2k game ever played (only played a lil of 2k12) and while I dont have the greatest knowledge of basketball, I do know enough to play my position somewhat well. Also have three other questions: 1. What exactly does emotion does 2. Is there any plays I can run that will allow Avery Bradley to score more points? I kinda wanna scale back on my scoring (trying have my season 2 onwards be more realistic), but there will be times where I don't even ask for the ball to let Bradley put in work and he just loafs. In the Knicks game he didn't score a single bucket until the 4th. Forget about overtime too. I don't really know how to run plays but always willing to learn. and 3. What are the proper way to get boards in this game? Last season I averaged 23.8\5.5\4.6. I feel like those are somewhat good #'s for a scorer (especially with Smith and Horford around), but I think I can do better. Im trying to aim for at least 7 boards a game.

Thanks in advance

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I had to start over due to the freezing contract extension glitch. I contacted 2k support and they refunded the VCs I spent on my corrupted file. Thanks to them.

I didn't like the teams that interviewed me so I was honest with them and just waited to see where I would end up with. Even though I did well in the showcase, the interview really had an effect as I went to the Heat as the 27th pick. XD

It's fun playing with them so far, letting James and Wade to their stuff and not too much workload on scoring for my player which should be the case as he is just a rookie.

Imo, some of the "Athletic One Handers Off One" dunks should be classified as "Uber."

I have 2K13 on PC, so no patch out yet. Where is the advanced stats page for My Career? Also if anyone knows, does getting your coach fired change the minutes or anything?
