Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I'm really stuck with what to do with a MyCareer save. I have a PG but I just don't feel like playing another PG save. I also created a PF a few days ago but I don't feel like playing as a bigman either.

I was thinking of making a SG and maybe making him different like defensive and being a sort of hustle guy like Shumpert or Tony Allen or slashing like D-Wade and work on his explosiveness to the rim. I'm also open to making a Small Forward too.

Does anyone have any suggestions? . The furthest I've got this year was the all-star break. I would really like to go quite long in a MC save as I've seen people post they are in the play-offs and are having fun.

How about a point forward?

Might not be a bad Idea.

If you like having the ball in your hands, a SG is a good thing to go with. Make sure he has enough height and weight to score at the rim if you want him to be a slasher. Might be good to play just key matchups if you want to get further in a career.

Thanks. I might make him defensive just to do something different. SG is good because you can play an off ball role as well as have the ball in your hands alot.

Being a defensive SG is hard at times because you'll have to guard some tough players, but it's rewarding if you can do it well. I like to have the ball in my player's hands, but I suppose you could act like Reggie Miller and run off screens to get open. That would be fun.

Another MVP season from my SG, but this time for Cleveland, rather than Golden State. 36 PPG, 6.7 Rebounds, 6.6 AST, 2.7 Steals and 1.7 Blocks. Leading LeBron in the MVP race and have the most votes going into the All-Star game.

So I went with a Athletic SG couldn't resist the 70 starting dunk rating and 81 speed. Had some a good amount of VC so he is over 70 rated already. Drafted 15th overall to the 76ers after getting interviewed by Houston, Detroit and Philly. Was thinking of leaving but it might be fun to play if Philly with Jrue Holiday in the backcourt and a healthy Bynum and Turner if he develops.

Hoping to stick with this save for a bit.

So I am playing against the Toronto Raptors and i realize that Rudy Gay has the anti-freeze sig skill. Really? Rudy Gay the guy that's shooting 40% from the field and has been shooting 38% from the field since coming to the Raptors has the Anit-Freeze sig skill? Do these guys even watch the NBA?

Ah man I found a great way against the double, start doing dribble moves, spins, behind the backs, w/e towards the basket, teammates start rotating around and hit the guy open at the 3point line or under the basket.

Made an All-Around PG. I had 31pts, 7 reb, 10a in the Rookie Showcase with an A+ grade. I wanted to go to the Hornets, but got drafted by the Wizards instead. Man. I really don't want to play for the Wizards since they have John Wall. Maybe I should request a trade while remaining as a 65 OVR. I don't mind going to the Hornets, Pacers, Hawks and the Heat. Which team do you guys I should go to? I aim to be a hard worker, setting up teammates, harassing the other team with my defense and being a hustler, diving at every loose ball I see. I don't want to average 25ppg, 15~20ppg is fine.

That's what I'm thinking as well. I will be able to lob to J-Smoove frequently. If I chose to go to the Hawks I have to make sure he had a contract extension first through.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Mode is so frustrating. No one on my team plays defense; give up 30+ to dwill every game I play him, gave up 40 to Dorrell Wright 8/8 3pts, and it goes on and on. I'm a PF/C and the opposing teams shooters torch us every game. And its just stupid stuff too; Wright hits 4 3pts in a row and my sf still sags off him.

I went the same route and it's pretty fun. Not sure what your settings are but I'm playing on sim mode with play calling on, lite overlay, and basically just trying to fit in with the offense and move the ball. The best part I'm finding is d'ing up when I get switched to SF against the bigger guys and battling down in the post for rebounds and ball denials on the SG.

The offense can be a bit frustrating as not many plays get called for you (at least, they haven't been for me), but I'm trying to focus spacing, rebounds, picks.

Oh, and why was the good spacing / bad spacing bonus removed??

Also, what in-game camera setting do you guys use?
