Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

So weak that you still can't load draft classes into your mycareer. Would love to play with someone like Wiggins in the 2nd year.

Anyways, I had 26 points, 5 assists, 3 Rebounds, 5 Steals and 1 TO as a scoring PG. My Interviews were with the Kings (7th), the Suns (5th) and the Timberwolves (9th). I decided to go with the Kings. Although I'm the worst of their 5 PG's I get 12 minutes, more then Vasquez ^^

Is it possible, that they lowered the max values for the attributes? As a scoring PG, I can only get 92 Mid-Range. Also, when I created my player I only had 82 potential. Actually, I can't max out anything to 99, I think 95 was the highest.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I like the realistic scorelines I am getting on 12 min quarters superstar sim. most games are like 95-91 and a few over 100 and few under 90( I play bigman let the game flow with the plays called and I dont call for the ball). Our(Toronto's) record is 14-9 currently a 5th seed. I'm averaging 15 pts, 13 rebounds. I do agree about rebounding being broken. I do everything right and the ball magically slips through my hands hits me in the head and then roll out of bounds. Other than that I have no complaints.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm still having problems getting assists as a scoring PG. I'm currently on the warriors and we have plenty of good shooters but my teammates don't know how to catch and shoot. It seems like even when I find someone open they always wait a long time before shooting and so it's not counted as a assist. The only times I get assists are when someone is open enough to get a layup.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The game is so much better when you're a higher overall haha. I mean I have now became a walking triple-double & sometimes flirting a quad-double. So much fun now but I should shut my mouth because I'm not even on HOF/Sim haha. I will be again because obviously it was difficult early on but now everything is coming in fruition.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

It's not a game issue, you just have to learn how to rebound better. You need to get better positioning and have better timing. If anything it is too easy for users to get rebounds; as a 6'8" Point-Forward SF I average 9.4 rpg(3.4 orpg) as a rookie on the T-Wolves, Love and Pek average 8 and 7.5 rpg. I would like to see more games of me having 3-6 rebounds and them having game of 12-16 rebounds instead of the opposite. Although I have maxed out my rebound stats they cap at 70 for oreb and 85 for dreb for my playstyle; Love's rebound stats are 87 oreb and 99 dreb while Pek's are 92 oreb and 76 oreb, Love's best rebound game was 16 in 39 minutes and Pek's was 13 in 31 minutes, my best rebound game was 15 off the bench in 24 minutes.

To say it is not a game issue shows you are clueless about playing pf/center. It is freaking EASY to average 6 rb/g with a guard with no skills, even more so with a SF. You are NEVER blocked out so while the big guys are fighting it out you come in and steal the rebound. If you want your bigs to average
More stop taking their boards. Playing a big guy though, the ball will hit you in the face, bounce away from you, bounce over you, guard steal your rb all the time. If you play 35 min you WILL average 13 rb/game. However, you know it should be 18-20 but the game prevents it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Question:

How many rebounds/game does your player average (position and minutes per game too please).

For me it breaks down roughly (I know it depends on play style):

Pg: 6/g at 30 min
SF: 12/g at 34 min
C/PF: 14/g at 34 min

Each guy has at least a 83 rating btw. Oh, and my SF averages a triple double easy (SS) where my bigs spends all of their time trying to get the precious rebounds

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have to fight tooth and nail against MY teammates on top of the other team just to get rebounds. Some games I go into half time getting out-rebounded by Damian Lillard who steals half the loose balls that come off our rim while I'm busy boxing out their big guys.

Don't get me wrong I still average nine rebounds a game but if I were getting half the rebounds I should be that I lose to players a foot shorter than me jumping over the top and nicking them or to my player being forced into a stupid animation where he should grab the ball but doesn't, I'd be pulling down fifteen to twenty a game easily.

My SF avg 7.7 rpg at 33 mins, I would get more but I got Pek and Love.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I had to restart my PG career. I stupidly saved over the wrong file to back-up my Center. As a result, my new PG was drafted by the Pelicans instead of the Timberwolves. I played 5 games there, asked for a trade to the Wolves or Lakers and got traded to the Miami Heat straight up for R. Lewis.

My Center got drafted by OKC and is really flourishing with everyone there. My experience with Lamb is that he is a streaky shooter and so far both Westbrook and KD are performing well...

I now have become the starter for both my PG and C.
Miami is now 8-3 and OKC is now 5-3.

My PG is turning into a Russel Westbrook type of player but I'm still getting all of the big three their points and even getting Allen and Battier theirs too. My "official" assists average are low at the moment but I do expect that to pick up once I start learning my teammates ai play. For those asking about rebounds, I am averaging 5 per game or 4 per 30 minutes played. Not that it matters since I only rebound defensively with my PG.

My C is a harder position for me to play. I still need to learn a lot. I guess I've been modeling my Center after David Robinson (except I graduated from the Army and am called The General). I have been dumping all my skill points into my hands and shoot in traffic for the moment. The good thing is that balls rarely bounce off my head and opposing guys rarely take the ball out of my hands on rebounds now. The bad thing about this is that I've neglected my stamina and have not improved other skills much yet.

I am earning double the VC with my PG then with my C just because I have been playing PG in MyCareer since 2k10 and I am very confident with him. In my last game I earned 500 straight up but because it was a key game I got 1k. With my Center I am lucky to get 200 per game.

As a result, my PG is developing much faster then my C. I've already have the Gaterade signature skill - and it is something that I think is worth the 2k investment. Consistency in performance is very noticeable.
