Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm a scoring PG and in my third season. I play for the heat and we've actually won 2 championships already. I'm at the start of my third season and thinking about asking for a trade because Chris Bosh, DWAYNE WADE, and Haslem got traded to other teams. (Wade in Clippers and Bosh and Haslem with the Bobcats) The players we got were Blake Griffin and Al Jefferson. I was thinking it was alright to stay in heat but when Wade got traded before the playoffs and Allen retired after my second playoffs, leaving me with this lineup.

Martin Santos (Me) (Ovr: 88)
Xavier Henry
Lebron James
Blake Griffin
Al Jefferson

I average 40ppg, 7.7apg, 2.3rpg, 5.0spg, 1.3bpg and a 55% field goal percentage and 52% three point percentage

Should i stay or should I go? And if I leave, what team should I go to? Thanks.

I would stay myself. I have never played with Jefferson but running pick n roll with Griffin is fun. Griffin LeBron plus you. I don't know how your seasons have went with trades and free agents but where else could you land with more talent. Honestly speaking I don't know Henry. You need a 3 point shooter in that spot. Play inside out plus pick n roll. And OMG at times if Blake plays the five and James is the 4. Dude pick n roll pick n roll pick n roll baby. Unstoppable. Don't try to be Barman on that team. I'm telling you from personal experience, Robin is more fun. Just my opinion, I'm a pass first PG.

Halfway through my first season and my GM just messed my 6ers up so bad. got rid of Spencer Hawes, 2nd in the NBA in rebounding, for Asik and Patrick Beverly. We had an 80 teammate chemistry before the deal

MCW is hurt so Beverly is starting, but all season Tony Wroten has only been getting 5 minutes a game (72 ovr) while Lorenzo Brown is getting 18 as the 6th man (65 ovr). Nerlens is demanding a trade because hes only getting 10 a game, even though hes the same ovr as Asik.

After this trade we took a 29 point loss to Portland. Team is now 10-23 on the season.

Asik isn't bad plus he has Defensive Anchor which is very nice to have. Rare skill. Have to talked with the GM about minutes yet? Once your overall rating raises you will get more say in things. Think in terms of next season. MCW, Noel, Asik, yourself. That's isn't awful. Great no but a lot of young talent. If you plan to stay with them it sounds promising. If you plan leaving yea I get you're point. But hey it could be worse. You could be on the Hawks, Bucks, or Jazz. Good luck

I have mentioned minutes for Noel. He was bumped from 4-10 and is requesting a trade because of his minutes. Played a few more games, won 1 with Asik and have lost by 20-30 every other game. My numbers are about as good as I can get them (20-5-5 consistently) yet my team is just awful on defense. I'm getting nearly 3 blocks per game but besides myself we have no rim presence.

The biggest issue is offensive rebounding. We're averaging about 15 Oreb per game against.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Hi guys, I've got a few questions (Playing on Xbox 360):

1. Fouling out during simulated games: I created a scoring SG. In year 4, I had him maxed out. I noticed during year 3 that he was fouling out of sim games a lot. In year 4, he fouls out of almost every sim game. Over the course of a 16 game sim, he fouled out of 14 games. He usually fouls out in 17-24 minutes of playing time. It completely ruins it for me. I only play key games (usually). So, I created another player (scoring PG) and never purchased any defensive attributes, hoping that this would cure the foul out problem. It didn't. In year 4, he fouls out of about 75% of sim games. Anyone had any experience with this?

2. Do training boosts work during sim games? I hate that no attributes go to 99. I purchase training boosts for the games I play in, but do they work in sim games? Or, is my player stuck with 92 max attributes during sim games?

3. Meet with GM and using "i really like playing with someone" and "I really don't like playing with someone:" I've created a new player, bought VC because I don't want to grind again just to have my guy foul out of every sim game in year 4. I have decided just to play every game and probably never finish the season. I don't agree with the coach's rotation concerning a couple players other than myself (I get 41 minutes a game). I want to try to change some of the other players' minute distribution. Has anyone used either "i like playing with someone" or "I don't like playing with someone?" And, what happened? In 2k13, I used the "I really like playing with someone" option, it increased that player's minutes, but reduced mine. Will that happen again?

Thanks in advance for any info or experience with these questions!

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Question about sig skills I forgot to mention in last post:

Does anyone know of any sig skill glitches. I feel like Deadeye and Catch and Shoot levels 3 are glitched. I'm afraid to buy acrobat and finisher level 3, because I know level 2 is not glitched on those and they are very important to me. These are the sig skills I usually use (i'm listing more than 5 because I switch them up depending upon how I want to play each game), let me know if you guys know of any glitches with these at any level:

Finisher
Acrobat
Deadeye
Catch and Shoot
Dimer
Floor General
Defensive Anchor
Tenacious Rebounder

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I would stay away from any level 3 Sig skills.. Also, when you say you like playing with a player at your same position it will reduce your minutes. If you do it with a player who gets zero minutes it will not give him any more minutes. If youAsk for more minutes for your sixth man he will only get one more minute. You need to ask for more minutes for a role player that you really like and he will get more minutes. However, if he doesn't produce his minutes will slip again until he has a big game.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Based on my experience, deadeye 3 and finisher 3 are not glitched.

Started my 2nd season. I can't believe that LeBron went to Lakers with Kobe. Melo went to 76ers which is my 1st team. Too bad im happy with GSW.

I tried your advice, and it worked GREAT. I keep playing the pick and roll with Griffin and he just dunks and posterizes anyone who gets in the way. I play it with Jefferson too and it works fine as well because he's a great finisher inside and fights through contact well. Plus this season LBJ seems to keep shooting more mids and threes unlike the past two seasons. Now we have 2 consistent three pointers in the team. (Me and him) But we do have Wayne Ellington who is also a great three pointer PLUS Pietrus and Chalmers who can shoot the three as well. Although Henry can shoot the three too, he isn't that consistent and only makes it a few times a game. With a few adjustments, this team could be a presence inside and out consistently. (I do miss allen because he was such a great three pointer and he always gives me the assist i needed. )

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Can anyone help me with my problem? I'm sure it's popular but I don't know how to fix it.

Can't finish a game. I saved and exited a game, and I came back and finished later. When I finished later, the servers were down, so it didn't save. Now when I try to go back and finish, I finish the game, go to the interview, and when I should be returning to My Career home, it says "Error communicating with server" and sends me back to the main menu.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The past 2 years in the 2k series i made PGs. This year I'm trying a PF. Got drafted by the Suns and become a starter after 9 games. We're currently at
16-4, and playing with Dragic is a blast.

I made an athletic PF, so the coach is moving me between SF/PF. I didn't notice before because I normally play PG, but the coach is moving me in the starting lineup. One game I'll start at SF, and the next at PF. Not complaining--it adds more realism.

Having fun adjusting to playing the forward spots. 20 games in and I'm averaging 11.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.8bpg--I've basically become Serge Ibaka 2.0. Gerald Green and Goran Dragic are the stars of the team so far, and I'm happy to do the dirty work. I've noticed I must be the defensive stopper, because I draw the big assignments. Started at SF vs. the Heat. Had my best game up to that point (18pts 10reb), but Lebron killed me in the 4th. We lost. Was close until the final 3 min. I see myself staying with the Suns as long as they keep Dragic and Green.

6'6" 230lb SG on UTA, 3rd season.

Disappointed. We lost 2-4 to HOU in the WCF(because they have LeBron, Harden, and Dwight, and a bunch of shooters). Anyways, I get to the offseason hoping to go to my Knicks, or one more season with the Jazz, but neither was an option. I checked the salary cap situation after the playoffs, and NY has 46.89mil of cap room. As a matter of fact, most of the teams in the league have 20-50 million in cap room. BOS, LAC, MEM, MIA, IND, HOU, SAS, OKC, MIN, and WAS are the only teams who don't have at least 20 million in cap room. Only OKC and MIN are negative. I'll try again.
