Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Im about to be done with my rookie season, I have one game left against Utah then it's the playoffs, our record is 53-28, hopefully 54-28 if we beat Utah. I know for a fact I'm a lock for ROY but I know Lebron is a lock for MVP(Lebron, KD, Wade, me, and Kyrie rounds out top 5).

I'm really hoping to get lockdown even with 95% fan support, cause normally I wouldn't get the the signature shoe if I didn't have 100% fan support.

Oh and I hate the fact that Love just stand their while the ball is in the air and refuses to catch it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

One thing I say that's really bottering me now is how the AI just abuses alley-oops with some teams (Against the Rockets they scored 3 straight alley-oops with Dwight) and when you try to throw an alley-oop, the ball just fly to God knows where!

Got drafted to the Pistons on my athletic point guard. That team is in dire straits when it comes to three point shooting, so I work on motion offense plays. About half of my assists come from lobs to J-Smoove cutting to the rim or Drummond standing near the rim unguarded.

I was missing a ton of oops at the beginning of the season. I suspect that teammate chemistry has an effect on whether you connect with a teammate or not.

The other part is knowing your teammates. Drummond can sky for the oop, but has bad hands. You aren't going to finish half-court oops with him. If you can penetrate to the free throw line before tossing it up, he will finish them unless someone successfully contests. J-Smoove, on the other hand, can catch oops from half-court, but gets deflected on his cuts easier. It also doesn't help that he plays the three, so the two bigs are usually clogging the lane.

I'm waiting for this game to get patch, rebounding in particular. Right now I just can't play it. I like to play power forward and center, and I can't average more than four rebounds. That alone kills the game for me. However, I like how my 7'2" center is no longer dominate offensively this year. I just wish I could rebound on defense

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

i created a SG and was drafted 3rd by the Wizards. i cracked the starting lineup and now get about 40+ min a game. i am about 25 games into the season and i average about 50 points a game. that is only because i play the game at 12 min quarters so i accumulate a lot of stats. overall the game plays so much like last year. i don't like they they limit the max stats. does your player maxes go up after each year? is there a way you can get your speed past 92(i think that is where mine is at) if you pick a smaller player or a position do that change this? i picked SG 6'9" 200 lbs athletic.

thanks for the help.

In crease your strength and hands. This will help with rebounds. I did this and I went from 4-5 a game to 9+ a game.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I created Andrew Wiggins as an Athletic SF and I was drafted 16th overall to the Celtics. I pretty much told the 76ers to go away when they interviewed me. I was also interviewed by the Jazz, but I didn't give them the answers they were looking for so they passed on me.

So, things were going pretty good with the Celtics after about 8-10 games. I was playing a solid 27 minutes as the 6th man and scoring about 12ppg. Then I decided that my version of Wiggins was going to become a diva. So I went to the GM and told him that I needed to start "or else". But things went differently than I expected. The GM then told me that it wasn't up to him and then asked me if I wanted a trade. So I said "yea, I guess I do". So I gave him 3 teams (Kings, Pelicans, Rockets) and went on my way. A few days later, he grants me my trade........ to the Pacers. Whoopie. So I'm behind Danny Granger and since I played about 4-5 seasons in Indiana in a MyCareer in 2k13, I'm not happy. So I tank the first game I play in with the team and then go to the GM and start complaining about how I need more minutes, etc. Then I demand a trade. I put down the same 3 teams as before and after a few days, I get traded to the Kings straight up for Greivis Vasquez (I was traded for 2 draft picks from the Celtics to Pacers). I'm excited because I really wanted to team up with Ben McLemore. So, I'm the 6th man with the Kings and I'll probably pass John Salmons soon, since he's starting. For some reason BMac is the 7th man, but I'm going to assume that will change as the season progresses. I just unlocked the "I'm tired of losing" prompt already, so I'll see if I can force any deals for a better PG since Isaiah Thomas is the starter.

Can someone tell me if jewelry boosts apply for already ongoing mycareer players? Or do you have to start from scratch?

Vasquez got traded in mine too. Except Pelicans just got him & vice versa for the Kings. Anyway, I'm trying to get BMac in the lineup but he can't as long as he's injured & GM won't let me trade away IT for a better guard or PF. I'm waiting for the chance to do it but it seems like I won't, so I'm hoping I can make Ray McCallum better. I really like his game IRL, which is why I want him as the starter. Anyway yea, you should post more of your stuff, only because I'm on the same team haha. Oh & I'm an athletic SF too.

Depending on your difficulty, I'd say 8-10 min. Most likely 8 though if you really don't want to play long & you'll most likely get realistic stats. I'd start with 12 though if you want to move in the starting lineup with your team OR if you're going to trade yourself I'd go with the least min possible (I think 5) so you won't have to play for that team long. Anyway, that's just my perspective.

Yes,

It applies to current mycareer players as well as newly created ones

Yes! I went into practice mode and got timing and shot quality to excellent and A+ and the blue circle doesn't match. also I was missing wide open shots. Missed heaps in practice mode too, even though my shooting is maxxed and consistency is maxxed.

something not right!

I like McCallum as well. I had actually forgotten he was on the team though until I looked at the roster after I got traded. I'm going to try and get the GM to trade for someone like Tyshawn Taylor at PG. I like to try and get a bunch of KU guys on my teams for some reason.
