Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

guess i'll bump this since it was already started.

so, so, so, so glad that turnovers don't absolutely destroy you in the draft. very cool that it shows you what is valued in terms of getting you drafted.

i started a pg since it seems like they did fix a lot of issues that ruined being a pg for me in 2k13.

9 pts, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 5 blocks (lol), and 6 turnovers (also, lol) and i got drafted 14th to the jazz. i jumped straight into mycareer mode without playing with the new controls. pretty neat overall. it really threw me off to hear the actual draft audio (including bill simmons 'woah') and then generic audio. was weird.

same stupid 500 vc contracts out of the gate. no other options to play specific games.

That's really great to hear about the turnovers! If you were a point guard, if you turned it over more than two times you were done. So dumb. What were the things they wanted from a PG to help your draft stock?

Points, assists, steals, rebounds, blocks I think? I just did mine and I'm going 17th to the Hawks after hopping straight onto MyCareer.. may start a new one.

*sigh*


I'm sure I'll give in and play this rehashed mode again. I'm really bummed out that it's exactly the same as last year though.


I'm still holding out hope that maybe they revamped it for next gen

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Going to start off with my Center, can't wait, but I'm doing the Training Camp first to familiarize myself with the new controls n if there are new moves.

On IKC's PG creation video he mentioned something about his 6 foot 3 athletic PG being stuck at 185 pounds, no matter what he did. Is that an actual bug, has anyone noticed?

must be a bug. i made my guy max weight just to see if it was different (it wasn't).

but i'm so pumped to see that i can't actually play the game today since the servers aren't working w/2k. game tells me that 2k servers are unavailable and then freezes up.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

With the way the blocks and ball hoggin' by the guards in 2k13 it made playing with a PF or my fav position Center no fun. I started a MyCareer with a 7'1 230lb Center with low expectations. I came out of the rookie showcase amped to continue playing but then realized I had to go to work, lol.

The Showcase started with a screen showing your matchup as well as your 5 key stat categories that will help improve your draft stock. Each stat was weighted by a star from 5 down to 1 showing how much of a difference it will make.
The actual game started off slow.. where I only had 4pts and 2 rebounds in the first half going up against C Alex Len and on occasion PF Anthony Bennett. PG Trey Burke hogged the ball a lot and didn't bother even trying to find me on the roll after setting pick after pick. However, I did manage to get 2 blocks that definitely wouldn't have happened in 2k13. One emphatic block on a Alex Len 2 hand dunk attempt. The 2nd half I went on a tear.. I started hesitating a little longer off the picks and then rolling into more space and Burke started finding me much more often. I managed to get a A+ draft grade and finished with 17pts, 8rebs, 3blks, 1stl.

I ended up being interviewed first by the TWolves(9th pick), then the Pelicans(6th pick) and then the 76ers(11th pick). I turned down the TWolves and the Pelicans because I didn't want to compete with KLove and Pekovic, nor did I want to play behind the Brow in NO. When the 76ers came up I kind of scratched my head because of Noel and Hawes.

So it doesn't seem like the logic in drafting in MyCareer is all that great. In retrospect, I should've gave a good interview to the Pelicans so I could play in NO and have Davis move to his more natural position at the 4.

Even though there isn't really any big changes to the mode this year, there is definitely subtle changes to it that make for a much better experience when playing a bigman specifically the blocking system. I'll probably start MyCareer over and try to get drafted to a different team or maybe even get that #1 spot. Ideally, I'd like to play in Cleveland or Washington but if that doesn't work out I'll probably just ask for a trade to be the cornerstone to my hometown Bucks, or play for the Lakers or Celtics.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I've made 4 players just to see how the trading works and after each trade request I ended up on the bobcats lol. I remember LD2k also talking about that when he asked for a traded n got sent to the bobcats.

True that lol maybe your chances are higher of not going there with a higher overall? idk i asked for 1 early season and one right before all star break
and the other two in between those.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

6'9 SF athletic from HONG KONG

name Yuri Su
went 18 overall to hawks.

Since 2k servers was acting up. I did an offline player using SP vs VC.
only difference is the name change off money/xp and being allowed to use purchased vc

I want an Rodman from the East so Defense and Rebounding will play a huge part. Will have some scoring ability besides dunks and layups. Might make him a 3pt threat still debatable.:wink:
