Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

... And right now, I wish I could punch Kevin Martin on the face, or the AI developers. I get the guy open for a 3 and he starts dribbling around, and sometimes he just waltz out of bounds. ...

It always baffles me how we can all start with the same default roster and our teammates will all perform so differently. Kevin Martin is shooting .500 for me with a 3pt. average of .435. Without him, I'm not sure where my team would be.

Well my team began the season at 5-2 but has now come back to Earth and we are at 7-7 with the Clippers and the Warriors beating us up. I shut down Chris Paul in our last match-up except for some last minute herioics which did us in. Curry was a man on a mission and led a curb-stomping blow-out to us.

I got the "I'm tired of loosing" option now, so now I just got to figure out a SF/SG to go after.

I was hoping that we would be able to take a higher seed for the play-offs as is but now we are sitting right at the 8th spot.

Well my friend let me borrow his game, so I started a my career pg. Got drafted to okc. Teammates are still dumb, rebounding for the CPU opponent is still imbalanced, and the CPU still cheeses you out. The good thing is that its not as bad as last year. But your teammates still are pretty bad on the defensive end as a whole. Plus floor spacing is still off, but better. The game as a whole, feels good, my career feels the same as last year to me, except your teammates play a little bit better on defense. And just because your on a bad team, doesn't mean your a contender now. So no more winning rings with the bobcats which is good. But the gameplay itself feels more real.

Well, after I posted that, I decided to rethink the way I play. Been calling more plays now and it's paying off. Glad to see the new PnR awareness by my teammates, and it's really getting me thinking about the PnR Maestro skill. Martin turned into a beast, putting up .541 FG, .469 3PT and .912 FT.

Took over Rubio's starting spot in a game against the Lakers and started again against the Clippers, winning both games. Couldn't stop CP3 but he couldn't stop me either. And about Curry, the man is just unstoppable, give him just a little window and bang, he drains a 3...

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I made a 7'2 athletic center and play on all star sim. I got drafted to the thunder and we are either 11-0 or 12-0 right now. I average about 14 ppg and 8.0 rebounds per game (36 minute games/ 9 min quarters). over the last couple games, i've averaged more but the averages take into account my earlier games where i rode the bench.

I lead the league in blocks at 2.8 blocks per game. I cracked the starting lineup replacing Perkins around 5 games in. My career high in blocks is 7.

Westbrook is currently our best player with about 22ppg, followed by me. Durant has become a decent roleplayer putting up probably 15 ppg (probably 10ppg over the last couple games) and maybe 4-5 rebounds.

The blocking system revamp (or rather the return of an upgraded 2k11 blocking system) has made the game super fun for me. i cant wait until someone drives the paint, especially nate robinson who i've probably blocked 4 times in one game

Why can't I set up my defense with my sg or call quick plays and screens

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

So uh, anyone else having issues with the game not giving you the VC you earn at the end of a game? I just started a game with 8VC. I played a Key Game, had 524 points, x2 for the Key Game which means I earned 1048 (as was shown to me at the end of the game on screen). So with the 8 I already had, I should have had a total of 1056. It only gave me 300! My total after all said and done, popups, saves, etc, is 308. WTF kind of garbage is this.

I've seen this happen a few times earlier also, or at least I thought as I wasn't fully paying attention. This time I was. And it kinda pisses me off.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

It doesn't go over the caps.

I bought the blue diamond (justified it by saying to myself that in years past I've bought the collector's edition so the extra cash is actually me just buying the collector's edition this year).

I also figured that during the course of this year I would probably play multiple my careers....

It doesn't cause your stats to go over the caps, but I must say that it DOES help. I started after my 5th game and saved up 7,000 vc because I didn't need it. Also, I KILLED the rookie showcase since my pg was faster and could shoot better than he could without the blue diamond.

If you're not gonna play multiple my careers then I would say it's not really worth it. But me, this is the only mode I play and I play it year round so it was worth the extra cash to me. Otherwise I would have to grind harder for every player I create and ain't nobody got time for that

Can anyone explain to me how to apply the blue diamond jewellery so that it increases my rating for the rookie showcase. Last year I went up to 78. This year I have bought it and started off at 63. I even went into 'my closet' and applied all the jewellery

Not sure what i am doing wrong ...

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

You do not have to apply it, just owning it increases the stats. As stated in the description of the item.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I would assume that wont show up until after you have been drafted. Its not going to show up in the creation of the character.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Pick and Roll is broken like nba2k13 the AI has 100% defense awareness and put its hands in the passing lane!! I guess it could be on HOF SIMULATION
