Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I got a reward for being 1st in Player Rank... I don't quite get this award. I'm a C ranked 18th overall among other Centers. I'm leading the league (and thus Centers) in Rebounds and Blocks, though. Was this what the award meant? I've previously received a similar reward for being Top 5 in Rebounds (1st)

Team chemistry is ONLY 50%.. I thought that only had to do with them giving me the ball, not them shooting ball when they're wide open after my pass.. oh well.. I can't imagine team chemistry getting anywhere NEAR 80% this season if I get 6 VC a game to make my PG better and no news conference question to raise it there.. will have to resort to playing blacktop etc over and over for VC if you can still do that

I thought it was only for passing me the ball too. But they play alot smarter (not always like they should but better) the higher my chemistry got. I don't really know how mine got so high. We aren't really winning. We are 22-28. Though we have won our last 5 games.

Its not like I have an all star line up.

PG Me (I am only a 77 overall)
SG Jimmy Butler (Great on D, but can't shoot the 3 for crap most game)
SF John Salmons
PF Paul Milsap
C Al Horford

With Marcus Thornton and Jeremy Lamb, Kyle Korver coming off bench. I wish they would start Thornton and Korver.

ya it absolutely effects teammate play. wins/loss and post game interview answers definitely effect it. im sure there's other stuff as well.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm a SG with the Celtics.

I complained about losing (even though we're still sixth in the East right now) and requested five Centers.

Ended up with Bynum and Jarrett Jack for Rondo and Jeff Green.

I'm happy with the trade overall as Jack complements my SG better and balled out in his first game with the team. Bynum will be a problem IF he stays healthy...he sprained his elbow before he could make it to his first game

But now I have Gerald Wallace starting at SF and there's a log jam at guard. Bradley, Lee, Brooks, and Crawford and for some reason they all get even minutes so Bradley's talent is being wasted.

I want to get Bradley and maybe Brooks or Crawford traded for an upgrade at SF. I'd settle for being started at the 3 with Bradley moving into the starting 2 guard spot but I doubt that's going to happen.

If I complain about a player the GM just tells me to get over it. How do I get Bradley traded? Can I do the pick 5 players thing twice in the same season?

Winning games doesn't seem to make my teammate chemistry go up in this year's game. Maybe I'm just not winning enough of them.

Hey guys, do you know if the attribute caps go away after your first season? Its really annoying only having 92 speed for an athletic point guard.

No. That has been answered a couple times already.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

u can't have your teammates pressure shooters. if you playing regular game u can make changes but not in MYPLAYER.

I would love to have my players pressure shooter instead of gazing at the moon while they shoot 3 after 3 forcing me to DO EVERYTHING.

Incorrect.

You CAN have your teammates pressure shooters. I do it every game.

Push left on the dpad while on defense and you get the options. One of them is to pressure shooters. The others are pay attention to stars, constant pressure etc

Try it in game

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Hey guys, I have a quick question regading "how to get traded to your favorite team" in MyCareer mode.

I have an Athletic PG which I'm trying to get him traded to the Lakers. As you know the Lakers don't have a pick in the draft and therefore the only way I can get on their roster is via trade.

Unfortunately I've tried multiple times by "requesting" a trade, Lakers being my 1st choice, but the game keeps trading me to a random team that isn't even one of my 3 choices! So weird...

So, my questions are...:

1) Is there any "definite" method or way to ensure that your player gets traded to the team of 1st choice?

2) Is there any particular factor that determines which team you get traded to? For example, it seems as though the game trades you for someone with a similar "overall rating." But even though I have the same overall rating as Steve Blake or Jordan Farmar, the game keeps trading me to some random team for a player with a similar overall rating.

3) What is the difference between "requesting" vs "demanding" a trade? How does this alter the outcome?

4) Do the post-game interviews that relate to your trade rumors play any role in the outcome? For example, does it make any difference if I admit the trade in the interview vs acting like the rumors aren't true?

Many thanks for your time

I myself tried getting to the rockets and tried several times and failed. I did finally got traded from the knicks to rockets. One thing I did notice is that its more likely to be traded to the opposite conference team when you request a trade, so I tried getting on an eastern conference team(knicks) so the computer will trade me to rockets(western conference team). Few things that might help, make sure you dont develop your player too high before you ask for a trade. Also make sure your target team(lakers) has someone +-2 to your overall so its more likely a swap. My first trade was for me(72) for Hansborough(74) and second trade me(64) for Isiah Canaan(63). Also only list one team when GM ask you to give a list of teams.

1)no, its trial and error.

2)Only thing I noticed are between conferences and similar overall players.

3)Demanding a trade works faster than requesting a trade, at least in my experience/

4)You can use postgame interviews to really decrease your teammate chemistry, which will help how quickly your traded, I dont think it affects any other way.

This is all from my experience trying to get traded to my favorite team. good luck getting to the lakers.

I THOUGHT I tried and the only thing that came up was the standard "pick you defense" menu. If I missed this the whole time... Anyways, if it is true I will put in your application to Sainthood! Crap...now I have 7 hrs to wait till I get home to try!

San Antonio...rocks. They are such a good team...well, save for the bricks Mills puts up and the point blank misses by Splitter.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Hi, I'm a 6'4'' PG drafted to the Thunder. Currently sitting at 32-11. Averaging 19.6 pts, 7.4 assist, 7 min quarters. I've found that once you notice the player tendencies, you get assist. KD only shoots 3 pointer from the corners or the top of the key, other times he drives. Westbrook shoots them if you're losing. Fisher and Lamb shoot if their open. I get around 8 - 10(Season high 14) assist a game. It gets easier when you score alot and the CPU starts to double team you.

If Nash is still a starter on the Lakers, then your not getting traded to them. If the team your going to already has a star at that position, then there less likely to trade you to that team. And when you get traded, you never come off the bench of the team you get traded to. At least I've never seen it.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The Bulls had the 20th pick so after trial and error I figured I had to get a high C or C+ to possible get an interview with them. It's all trial and error. I started at a A- and worked my way down.

Sainthood huh? hope you got a lot of pull cause my background check might cause my application to be denied

Push left on the dpad while on defense and it will give you the option of how you want your guys to play....defensive strategy

Just be mindful that if you tell them to pressure shooters, then the computer players will start driving around your defenders. This works for me cause I'm a pg on the bucks and I have Larry Sanders behind me cleaning up any defensive mistakes we might make

So you may not want to try it if you don't have a defensive anchor or good defenders. I did this against the heat and the very first play, Lebron drove by caron butler and before any of us could react he dunked it on him for the and 1

but we did win 113-111 with me making the game winning free throws after mario chalmers fouled me with one sec left and the heat having no time outs
