NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

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

Yes, there is a problem IMO with rebounding but I do not expect any change whatsoever. I have a center with max rebounding, STR, and every sig that helps with rebounding. I did another center but took NO sigs that help. Did not see a difference at all. The ball still magically bounces away from me, over me, etc. it is slow going when you are not a starter. I will say this...and it happened in the rookie game and in almost every game I have been in as a starter. Once you get late in a half, my rebounding shoots up. Maybe this is because I have Bruiser and I wear the other teams big guy out...just not sure. Just know I get over half of my rebounds I the last 3 minutes of a half. They are not missing more...their rebounders all of a sudden start dogging it. I get 80% of my offensive rebounds in this this time too. I think it sucks that you have to completely wear out a guy before you can start getting rebounds normally even though stat wise/sig wise you might be a god. Makes me not want to waste points in tenacious rbs and instead constantly push and run into my guy sucking the life out if him. Lame!

How do you call pick and roll in this game. I know last year I was able to call for pick. But so far this year, I haven't been able to call for a pick in my point guard career

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I just created myself a 7 foot center (tired of playing G's) and got drafted by OKC. I don't know my stat points but I haven't raised any (only played the legends training camps), and I grab more than 5 rebs a game (played 6 games) so I think it's not really a game issue.

It's definitely a game issue. It's not about how many rebounds you finish with, it's about 2K's bad rebounding coding punishing us. Like when you don't get rebounds that you're supposed to get. If you get yourself in position to grab the rebound, meaning you did everything right, the rebound should be yours EVERYTIME, and not most of the time, or sometimes.

By the way, I'm averaging 10rpg, but I feel if the rebounding was right I'd be averaging between 15-20, because I know how to rebound.

Something I've noticed in my last couple games is that I've been in double figures by the start of the 4th. Idk why changed, but I like it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

For rebounding with my PF, I always get 13-16, but it's when I get them that's the variable. Like Alwayscivilmike pointed out, there are a lot of times where I end the half with 2-4 rebounds, but end up pulling them down in the second half. I've had it happen the other way, too, though. Make sure to crash the offensive boards as much as possible; you're not always going to grab them, but it's extremely rewarding when you do and get your team a second chance shot.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Since you finished your first season, can you answer this question?

Did your attribute caps increase?

I'm hoping they go up like you improved in the offseason

cause being a pg capped at 92 speed just ain't getting it when I want my guy to be one of the fastest in the league

No, your caps do not increase.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

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....

In case anyone who cares forgot, I'm 6'8" Andrew Wiggins, SF on the Kings. Well, I'm starting now because John Salmons (who was starting) got injured. Hopefully I steal the job before he gets back, which shouldn't be hard since I'm averaging 18ppg in the few games I've started. Even knocked out my first career double double with a 22/11 line against the Thunder but most of my damage came in blow out time. I tried to get the CPU GM to trade for a few guys with the old "I'm tired of losing" comment, but instead the GM just blew me off and said I needed to try and figure out ways I can help the team. I sort of liked it. My rookie who has started 3 games in his career shouldn't be able to recommend guys to trade for. Anyway, I'm just grinding it out and playing as many games as possible to upgrade my guy. I think I'm a 73 or 74 overall now and I'm 45% of the way through the season. I started a little higher overall than average because I had the 10k VC I got from the preorder bonus. Anyway, BMac is now the 6th man getting 20 min a game, but we're getting thin thanks to injuries to Salmons, Jimmer and Cousins. Luckily, Cousins is only out for about a week or 2. We stink anyway so we might as well get the best draft pick we can.

Nice. I got my Kings on the winning track finally. BMac still hasn't came back though & I wish can trade someone at least but it looks a bench guy is the only one I can move. Just guessing on that one though. Anyway, I just hope my teammates get better because as much as I like taking over games, I'd like for my other teammates to get more involved then just me doing everything. Literally.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Before my first game with the 76ers I changed my 7 foot centers number to 76. Then went out and had a career performance. Scoring 31 points, 4 assists, 16 rebounds (6 offensive) and 6 blocks (four on D. Rose). Peirce was throwing up so much garbage. All six of my offensive boards were from his shots.

After the game I told the GM I don't like playing with him. And then said I didn't think that Royce White was getting enough minutes.

So he cuts Peirce's minutes by 7, giving all of them to White. Also not sure why Peirce is playing the 3 spot and Young is playing the 4. Hoping Peirce gets traded and Young moves back over. Because hes not doing much in the 4.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I must say that defense is starting to become unfair. I have a 90 on-ball defense and 92 quickness, and even a slow/bad slasher like Jameer Nelson will cut through me like I'm not there. On the other hand, guys like Ty Lawson or Isaiah Thomas will play lockdown defense to the point that you can't get through him no matter what. I really need some tips on how to defend and how to get through defenders!

This has been a weakness of both association and My Career in subsequent seasons in past versions of the game. Your teammates see little to no skill increase at all. The rest of the league sees overall increases much faster. By the third or fourth year, half the league is 80 overall or higher with dozens of players in the 90s while your team is stuck with a bunch of mid 70s scrubs, a couple of 80s rated players and you. It just becomes frustrating after a while when you have to score 2/3 of the team's points in order to win a game, and you're getting beat up on by mid-80s Pachulia and 94 rated Al Horford.

Who has had a interview with the Bulls? What kind of performance did that take?

Yea I've noticed that, which is very unfortunate. I mean come on somehow the team that YOU play should be rated pretty high. Seriously. And not everyone should be Iversonizing each game they play. Meaning you're the team & no one else matters. Not saying it was like that IRL but it's the closest thing I can think of when talking about my career. Anyway, I've also seen other players getting a +2 or +4 in their overall & it's ridiculous. Well, I guess I should've boosted the team I wanted before playing my career but it's good. Because now we're playing like a TEAM. Not sure what I did but we're flowing & everything is flourishing.
