Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Quest for Number 1 update... Got picked number 3, I wont snap my disc though to add insult to injury i got no VC from that game.

I found that I had to average 50 pts, 10+ assists and 10+rebounds along with 0 turnovers to get picked as the overall #1 pick.

Averaging the numbers you show, I've gone anywhere from 10th to 3rd; depending on position.

Hopefully 2k will keep refining the draft/beginning and someday even allow us to indicate some team "favorites" we'd prefer to go to. ( high or low in the draft, etc.)

50? Dang, how can you score 50 in the Rookie Showcase game? I think the most I scored was 20 something with 10 assists.

Is there ANY way to fix broken plays in PC?

Anyone?....

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Try downloading and use Slimm's custom rosters (look in the PC section above for them)

He and a couple of guys helping him have redone the playbooks in addition to making changes to the rosters themselves.

Unfortunately, this means you will need to restart your career.

I do not know any other way. Sorry.

The wizards play like a championship team in the first quarter. Every time i play them they can easily drop 40 in the first but then just drop off.

Also does emotions do anything? My PG had it default at 99 but my PF has it at 50 and i see no difference. Every year emotions is like the last thing i put points into.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

what other position could be fun to play ? which playstyle ? is there a way to remain a sixth man ? and do you guys ask for the ball when playing or you let the cpu pass you the ball ?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

If anyone wants a few tips for getting #1 (or top 5), I've made so many guys I almost have it down to a science now.

• First, you don't need to actually score 50, but scoring at least 25 helps. I try to aim for 30, but I've been drafted #1 with only 22 points before. Efficiency seems pretty key here. You probably don't want a field goal percentage under 60%.
  
  
• Before the game, makes sure you pick a jump shot and FT that you're comfortable with and can hit green on every time. If your guy has handles, pick moves that are more effective. For example, don't pick the spin move that points you in the wrong direction after you use it. Give yourself the dunk animations that get your guy to the basket faster. This can help a lot as a big.
  
  You can always change those after the game, so it doesn't matter how these look.
  
  
• Being taller helps you get rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and baskets. Everything. If you don't want a taller player, it's still very much doable, so don't worry about it too much. Still, a 7'2" C will have a much easier time than a 6'9" one.
  
  
• Go easy on the sprint button. Only use your energy when you need to. It's pretty hard to hit an open jumper with half stamina.
  
  
• Do everything. Get rebounds, a couple of steals and/or blocks, and assists. The game seems to consider your overall performance based on your position and player type. If you're, say, a pass first point guard, it will judge you more on assists and not as harshly on rebounds or scoring. If you're a rebounding center you're going to need to get a lot of rebounds but not as many assists. Still, try to pad your stats as much as you can!
  
  Pay attention to the half-time report to see what you need to do more of. If you have 2 assists and they gave you 3 stars, you know you probably only need a couple more to max that out. If you've got 5 stars in scoring, you just need to match that in the second half. Keep in mind you seem to get less minutes in the second half.
  
  
• Don't turn the ball over. Not even once. If you do, you might as well restart. Protect the ball. Don't take risks. Don't try to throw alley-oops. Ever. It'll just end in frustration. If you're waiting for a play to develop and you're dribbling in front of the CPU, press the Y button to turn your back to him and protect the ball. Don't try any full court touchdown passes, even if a guy is wide open.
  
  
• Don't foul too much. Try not to foul at all, really. You're best off getting your steals by reading plays and jumping the pass.
  
  
• Get a high teammate grade. This means taking good shots, setting picks, passing the ball around, and keeping your man from scoring too much. An A+ isn't required but it helps a lot. Aim for at least an A.
  
  
• Your best bet is doing this as a point guard. You'll have the ball every time and it makes it easier to get assists and score.
  
  If you're a SG or SF that doesn't have high 3 point shooting, they'll be reluctant to pass you the ball if you're outside the 3 point line. Step in before calling for it.
  
  If you're a big, it'll probably be hard to get the AI to give up the ball to you when you're not right under the basket. Do not spam the pass button as that will only hurt your grade. Instead, run up to the PG and set pick and rolls. This is probably your best way to score as a PF/C unless you have a jumper.
  
  
• Jumpers are probably the easiest way to score if you're the right player type. Your mid range will be low enough that they'll play off of you a little, but high enough to drain a high percentage of looks. Don't get fancy and try step-backs or other shots like that. Don't shoot with a guy right in your face. You'll just ruin your FG% and your player grade. Only take wide open 3s.
  
  
• Call for double teams when your man has the ball but before driving. This will prevent him from ever scoring on you. If he gives up the ball to the open player, they'll probably get an easy basket, but this doesn't hurt your grade at all and if you're a PG you probably want to keep the game close as long as possible anyway so you don't have to deal with full court pressure that can lead to easy turnovers. A quick shot for them also means more possessions for you, and you don't have much time to get your stats in this game.
  
  If he doesn't give up the ball, you'll get points for forcing a jump ball and a successful double team. If you're a point guard and you do this too much you might not get the rebounds you need, so pay attention to that.
  
  
• Save and quit. This can be tedious, but if you're playing as a player type that starts out with offensive stats so horrible that you're missing wide-open layups, this can make it easier than playing the entire game over and over. If you have a string of 3 baskets and a couple of rebounds, save and quit and go back in. If you get a block on your 6'1" guard, save and quit. Frequency depends on how patient you are.
  
  Wait a possession or two before doing this or it might not save your stats.
  
  
• Carefully pick your answers in the interviews. You will probably want to come off as unselfish and willing to work with the team.
  
  
• Don't get too frustrated.

I guess that ended up being more than a "few" tips. Hopefully that helps someone out.

On myplayer, I wanted Dwight Howard on OKC without Serge Ibaka being traded. How can I get him back on OKC ? Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka got traded for Dwight Howard and a 65 overall power foward.

I actually got picked first pretty soon after I made those posts. I think my stat line was 35 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, with 0 turnovers. Points seem to be one of the biggest factors of going first. I also told the Bobcats + Wizards I didn't want to play for them. I think that helped.

Good to know you got drafted 1st and didn't break the disc in half.

Wow, you're MyPlayer can actually get injured this year. Just sat out 9 days with a bruised knee.

I was pretty pleased with this player, about 60 games into my rookie season (played every game). A PG on NOH 39-18, avg'ing 22 and 8.

Ahh, what can ya do? Gives me an excuse to try a PF, athletic most likely. 6'10, 240 lbs, KG type. Have about 4K VC saved to improve him early. Will base him on my bro's teammate in Turkey, Chuck Davis out of Alabama.

Good thing I was already having a drink & a nice cigar when trying to load this file, because this is not bothering me as much as it should, being that I put SO much attention into this player. Whatever. Any input on PFs and what should I improve first or focus on?

Is there any way to have a backup? I sincerely HATE this autosave nonsense.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Just finished playing a game! Woo The cavs beat me crazy! 117-97.

Our main Center, Greg Oden got hurt so our primary big man got hurt and we had to use Chris Kaman who isn't that great of a rebounder, but will do.

What's surprising about this game is that after I got a message saying that I was going to be traded. I never asked for a trade! I wanted to stay @ the Mavs and maybe stay there.

What is up? Did anyone ever have this? (BTW, 2nd season with Mavs, CP3 is at the cavaliers..???)
