Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Anyone get the popup on the nba 2k14 home screen telling you about the mynba2k app for phones and the fb app? I was excited that the app might be up again..but of course I tried to log in and the servers still won't let me...

So why would they be advertised in the game!??

Saw that too & not sure why they did that. They didn't even update it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Since there seems to be some questions about rebounding this year, I'll post how I would maximize a "rebounding specialist" :

Rebounding Skills to Max Out:

1. Ball Security
2. Hands
3. Offensive Rebounding
4. On-ball Defense
5. Low-Post Defense
6. Defensive Rebounding
7. Speed
8. Quickness
9. Hustle
10. Vertical
11. Stamina
12. Strength
13. Offensive Awareness
14. Defensive Awareness

Rebounding Signature Skills:

1. Hustle Points
2. Scrapper
3. Tenacious Rebounding
4. Gatorade Performance Pack
5. Microwave

If there are any questions as to why I would max out something or why I would not, let me know.

Edit:



At the main screen choose the "Edit MyPlayer" option and you should be able to remake your basketball god - and then "Start MyCareer" but I bet you knew that already.

Where is that Gatorade sig skill? Was looking for it as my first to purchase but couldn't find it.

I noticed in the shoes unlike in 2k13 that it does not automatically change its colors. Now the shoes you equip will change its colors according to your teams primary colors. What really sucks is My Player can't dunk below the basket.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Maybe I just didn't notice it in 2k13, but I notice that you get different attribute cap limits depending on your playing style. I chose an athletic SF at first and then made a scoring SF and some cap limits had dramatic differences.

Also, the SM challenge is pretty cool, but getting 10+ assists and points does not count as a double double?

I also noticed that when a player is in foul trouble, sometimes the coach doesnt sub out that player. For ex. Got had 3 fouls in the 2ndQ. Yet the coach let him stay. Then got his 4th and 5th foul in the last mins of the 2ndQ but still not subbed out.

just in case you still did not find it, it is in the "Other" section, where Microwave, Antifreeze etc. are.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Im always getting stripped..... Wether i dribble near a player or when im taking a shot. Im a 6.6 shooting guard and 199 lbs, i got some quick vc so i wanted to upgrade an attribute and....Im disappointed about the attribute caps. I thought the caps would go with the players in the roster but i was DEAD WRONG! Lots of SGs have an above 79 passing and over 85 dunk but, 2K seems to feel like MyCareer players are not important. And i always find myself doing pump fakes instead of crossovers (Nice job 2K! You have dribbling,passing and crossovers all in one thumbstick! Thats the best idea ever..NOT) blocking seems to be easier but there is one thing i noticed, Its so hard to make shots now! I took a WIDE OPEN Jumpshot with Kobe at the free throw line and i missed. But when the AI does it it seems to fall. 2K has made things harder WAY harder. The defense is CRAZY this year. Its hard to get around AIs. Oh well.

And another thing i noticed, When the CPU runs directly at me when im not moving, I fall.....(LOL, WHAT.)

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

After getting drafted to OKC with my first player - a 6'6 All-Around SG - I couldn't take the fact that Durant became a glorified role-player while Lamb (off the bench) averaged more than KD.

So, I decided to create an under-sized Athletic PF. I'm grooming him to be a terror on the glass, and automatic from the left block. Right now, as a starter on the Jazz, a large portion of my points come off rolls to the basket after screens, with either dunks, contact, or and-1s. I'm working on my low post offense and jump hook, it's not a go-to move yet, but I get a few points off it every game. I average about 6-8 points a game off OREBs too.

I play 40 mins a game and my stats are awesome, but I have to lead the team most of the time.

25.5 pts on 68% fg.
12.6 rebs.
1.5 assts.
1 steal.
2.9 blocks.

The only other big contributor is Trek Burke, but he's a volume scorer who is a hit or miss with efficiency, usually a miss. I went to the GM to get a backup PG who I knew could be a spark off the bench and make his shots count, but my trade request couldn't be satisfied. I'm thinking of reducing my minutes to give to Gordon Hayward, as his attacking and facilitating tendency is a nice balance.

I actually enjoy playing on the Jazz, and if we can supplement our starting lineup with some good scorers off the bench, I can see myself playing my whole career here.

Anyway, I think I'll make the playoffs my first year, but our team won't be enough to make a deep run, even with me putting up monster games.

You're right about everything except ball security, on-ball D, post D, and the microwave sig. skill. Those have nothing to do with rebounding.

You're right about everything except ball security, on-ball D, post D, and the microwave sig. skill. Those have nothing to do with rebounding.

As I stated, that is how I would build a max rebounder. YMMV. The reasoning on what you call into question is as follows:


Microwave sig skill raises "various offensive and defensive attributes" for a period of time. I've noticed faster reaction time when in "hot" mode and a faster reaction time helps with getting deflected, kicked and loose balls.

On-ball and Post D increases your player's reaction to the attempts and moves taken by your man. Once again, the key is to maximize your ability to get the ball and react/pro-act.

Ball security is included because of the ai's tendency to attempt a strip as you gather the rebound. This helps prevent that annoying event that happens from time to time where the live ball hits the opposing player just right to trigger the turnover.

Others might consider something different but I am concentrating on maximizing my player's ability to rebound in all situations.
