Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The gatorade sig skill is AMAZING. It makes the game so much more fun knowing I can sprint more and attack the defense in transition w/o worrying about stamina. I recommend it for any position, especially since once you're good enough they play you the entire second half.

Also if you play on sim settings, stamina will affect you as well.

thought about getting this but Im saving up for on court coach to replace LBJ C2C

I don't want to stay on floor all game.

5 sigs I have is
Brick wall love setting screens just wish players with pick n roll masetro would actually use this sig even though i don't have pick n pop

Chase Down need it as a wing defender especially since I have to put up stats in damn near every catgeory for us to have a fighting chance. it also helps in half court blocks to when u get beat off dribble.

C2C - cheese fest if u have enough speed and stamina to coast to coast after every rebound. Also if u have some pretty good stick skills to break down defender on fb. my stick skills are average but my strength is 80 along with the contact boost i can just bulldoze my way through traffic.

Rebounder was pretty good rebounder already can average 7-10 a game but so many times even with 80 strength i would get push aside. even though i had box out position. or out of now where cpu would come get the board u absolutely needed to stop a run or etc. now it don't feel as bad if i lose a board b/c now im not getting tossed a side my smaller/weaker players.

Catch n shoot. helps with quick release b/c gives a boost to help with timing issue. I still haven't mastered yet.

On court coach will be helpful since u have to be Next LBJ at least as SF i will be able to run plays instead same 4 plays all game along with tell my d players how to play d.

THinking about D Anchor and Offense sig where ur teammates get boast. Simply to give my dumb AI teammates a boost to help balance out game. I would have to probably give up rebounding and brick wall sig.

I know you don't want to play all game, neither do I, but if you do well enough your minutes keep increasing until you're playing 41+ a game. Prime Pack is a must have for me if I don't want to be focused on conserving my energy all game. Especially since even when your energy does decrease, your shots and abilities aren't affected as much. Very underrated skill.

If you haven't used the I really like playing with a certain player option, using it will reduce the number of minutes you play per game. I was up to 41 minutes before I used it and now I'm down to 39 mpg and I regularly get about 36 minutes a night.

So you just give the back up to your position more minutes?

I def will do that, I considered it but I didn't think the changes would be permanent.

As in, I thought after playing well again the next game your minutes would go back up.

I gave Love, a starter with me, more minutes because when I told them I like playing with the guy I replaced I lost my starting spot and because Love was only getting 31 minutes and now he is getting 35. No, your minutes don't go back up.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

So should I replace closer or lockdown for gatorade? And I really do lose min? That's fine by me.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

So, I created a 7'1 240 lb Center.. I believe 'athletic' is the style I chose.. my 3rd 'Career' for 2k14 so I had to save it over a PG I created.. I think something may have gotten really messed up in the creation.. Medium shot is rated 68, 3pt at 63. Close shot is 80, which makes sense but the others are really weird for a big center.

Offhand dribbing and ball security are far higher than a center career usually are also, 60 for security and 52 (twice the aerage) for off hand. Shot block rating is a REALLY low 45. Wonder if over-writing a previous career merged stats to create some odd hybrid point-power forward.

Best thing about this career is being drafted to OKC.. my other big man to Philly never touched the ball even at 70% chemistry!

SF, I tried giving Brewer more minutes because I like his defense at the 2 but it would always return him to being a starter and me being on the bench.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

2nd season with the Bulls, we're 11-9 early alot in part because Rose can't stay healthy, he broke his foot 8 games into the season so Marquis Teague has been starting and he won't shoot for crap, seriously 1 sec on shot clock I'm doubled I pass it to him and he sends it right back..
But anyways..
I've decided to step up in his absence, my season averages up to 20.2 PPG, 7.1 RPG on 46% from the field, 48% from 3..
I had my first 50 point game, and nearly had a triple double, 51 Points (21/28 shooting), 10 Assists and 9 Rebounds (which pissed me off because I had 9 with 9:26 left and I tried like hell getting that 10th one and I couldnt, Steph curry took most of their shot and he didn't miss, Noah and Butler got most of the boards over me, and even at 6'9" I got out rebounded twice by Teague..)

if u want to play longer minutes or at least be effective with longer minutes get gatorade sig.

not sure wat closer does this year besides improve FT and clutch. u can just take over in last 6 min of 4th quarter. i would keep lockdown since it cost most to purchase and most effective.

Well you said your minutes don't go back up, how did you get your starting spot back?

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Oh, my bad. If you're a starter and you tell them to give your back up more minutes you will be moved to the bench, eventually you will be able to earn your spot back in probably 2-3 games. If you tell them to give some other player more minutes it will decrease your minutes, but not to the point you're back on the bench, probably by 3-5 and not even playing well will get those minutes back. I hope that clears it up for you.

That makes sense, thank you.

In my first career, I was also on the Timberwolves as a SF. I requested Derrick Williams to get more minutes because I was sick of seeing Budinger and Brewer playing power forward.

They took away about 6 minutes from Love and gave them to Williams, my minutes stayed the same (41). So I guess it depends on the situation.
