Nope, that's just the way it is. Let's just hope some of these things get patched. It's the same on superstar btw and probably allstar as well, it has little to do with difficulty. I think it's just the way the game is programmed.

Doesn't need patching, it needs sliders

Wow, tough game against the Bobcats. Looking like most games are going to be close.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Finished my 3rd and final season with the Kings as Andrew Wiggins and we were pretty average, finishing 7th in the conference and losing 4-2 against the Spurs in the 1st round.

So, we go into the off-season and for some reason, the Kings GM asks me to recommend 5 guys to him for the next season. EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT EVEN ON THE TEAM ANYMORE, lol. So I just ask for the top 5 guys (I'm on there as well, but I skip myself) and move on.

I finally get to the "free agent" period and I have about 6-7 teams to choose from. The odd part about these teams is that over half of them have a great-amazing SF already on the roster. Teams like the Heat, Thunder, Spurs and a few others with highly rated SFs try and get me. The few that aren't are the Nuggets and the Nets.

I weigh my options, them being: Be the only guy on the Nuggets worth a darn and carry the team, or go to the Nets, who are loaded.

I choose the Nets, and here's our new starting lineup:

PG: Deron Williams
SF: Joe Johnson
SF: Me (Andrew Wiggins)
PF: Brook Lopez
C: Dwight Howard

I'm not sure how that all works out money wise, but my contract is 5-years for roughly 8,500 VP.

Our bench is alright, but I don't remember who we have off the top of my head.

I've found that if you give the ball to one of these guys (or any good player for that matter) then do a quick isolation play for them on your own, they actually start playing like themselves a little more than they would normally in MyCareer.

Should be a fun season, I hope.

EDIT: Oh, and I created my first shoe near the end of my 3rd season. Pretty much the same as last year but the shoes look better on your feet.

That's a lot of games, are you playing every one?

Nah. I mostly play just key games and a few extras here and there. If I played every single one I'd never finish one season. I think I've only played a total of about 75 full games over the course of my 3 seasons. It's just too time consuming with each game taking 40+ minutes of real time to complete thanks to my guy being stuck with 42 mpg.

It needs both. But the problem is, if you just use sliders, they'll only apply to your team, because the CPU will still cheese like crazy as if you never even set sliders. Or you'll probably see the sliders have more effect on your own team than it would for the CPU.

My 7' All-Around Center is finally maxed out.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The shotclock cheese on this game is downright comical. I just played a game against the Suns, and Shannon Brown was sinking buzzer-beaters like he was MJ. Wow. Another thing that I don't care for is when I drive to the basket, get bumped (no foul call), then end up on the floor. Then my player takes his sweet time getting up while the other team goes downcourt, resulting in a 'Leave Assignment' penalty. Other than those 2 issues this mode is ok

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

After the 3 pt contest (which I lost), my game was glitched. The whole schedule was gone. I was able to do everything else BUT play a game. So when I tried (twice), the game froze. I had to redo everything. Glad I did but was mad I had to. Made my point man again but got drafted to Kings which I was really happy about this time around & we're going to be great this year maybe a ring but who knows.

I'm the point guard for the Kings and I'll say good luck dealing with Cousins. Some games he's really good, then some games he's lazy and cant finish around the basket. I like Thornton though because he can create his own shot and take some pressure off me

I'm sure I'll be fine because I was a sf with them before BUT you're right big cuz doesn't want to finish sometimes. I'm going to get rid of MT so I can start BMac, better upside imo.

I'm also a PG for the kings. We have 5 PGs including myself. BMac hardly gets minutes, while Isaiah Thomas gets 18+. Salmons starts at the 2 and Luc "Dont shoot" Mbah a Moute starts at the 3. Gets pretty frustrating at times.

I take up most of the minutes at pg while Jimmer and Isaiah Thomas are buried on the bench lol. Vaszques gets almost all of the backup minutes at pg, and Maclemore gets almost no play with my team as well. I dont know how many times I have to vouch for him to the gm so he can get more minutes. I dont even pass to Mbah a Moute unless he's wide open for a dunk/layup. The guy is useless. Landry is solid and Outlaw is hit or miss. I wish BMac got more minutes though

Interesting, I'm also a PG. Mbah a Moute has never played while I'm the court and isn't even in the rotation for me. Even before we traded Salmons for Turkoglu he wasn't playing. Cousins can be hit or miss since he can get blocked a lot too but with him and Andy V on my team, they gobble up the boards (when I'm not).



I just got my first ever quadruple double in a 2K game ever. I got 1212 VC for it. My final stats were:

41 mins, 36 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists, 10 steals and 3 blocks, also 8 turnovers. 14-16 FG, 2-2 3P and 6-6 FT. I'm not sure how I feel about getting a stateline like that not even at All Star break yet but I'm having fun playing on this team and not having to take 20+ shots to get wins anymore. In comparison, I shot 35 FGs in a game previously, only beat by Durant with 36.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

So, looks like everybody & their pops is a point man on the sacramento kings. If we add this up, roughly they'll have 15 point men on the kings lol. Anyway LRMAM is defensive minded & avg, irl just off tops, 5 ppg. He's not going to drop any points really & I like it that way because this game has finally catered to defense. He's going to shut down everyone we go up against this season & on top of that he's coming off the bench. I prefer him there because it's better & someone else can be the star there. Here's to looking at you DeMar.
