Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

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.

If you suggest giving a backup more minutes it will take minutes away from the person ahead of them(Love).

Just got screwed big time. We're trailing OKC by one point with less than 5 seconds left in the game, so we foul Ibaka to put him on the line. After he misses BOTH free throws, DeMarcus Cousins gets the rebound but it rolls right off his leg and goes out of bounds. Unbelievable. So now the Thunder have the ball again and we have no choice but to foul Westbrook. He sinks both free throws, leaving 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Now we're down 3, and I dont have enough confidence in my 3 point game to take this shot, so I try to screen Marcus Thornton's man so he can get open and take the shot since he's our best 3 point shooter. He catches it, shoots it, clanks it. Unreal. Complete BS.

I just had an amazing game against the Miami Heat with the Bobcats. It was a real close game until the last two minutes of the 4th quarter. My MyPlayer had 47 points on 15-16 shooting (17-17 from the charity stripe), with 7 rebounds, 8 assists 1 block and 4 steals to boot. I also had one BS turnover, where LeBron forced me out of bounds and didn't get called for a foul.

I play on HOF/Sim by the way. I still can't believe we won this game after being down 18 points after the second quarter. Ended up beating the Heat by 9, but damn, that was intense. Defense that we played in the second half was ridiculously good for whatever reason.

Did anybody notice. If you let your teammates go through their free throw routines their hit the free throws higher % when you hit x or a to skip it??

Nice I'll try that. I think I've noticed it but I thought it didn't matter.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I've noticed that. If I'm having a bad day at the line and let the animation play out, I'm more likely to make them. I believe it has something to do with stamina. You don't regain stamina by skipping

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.

I would take Gatorade and replace Closer because the AI will try attempt to make a comeback if it wants to. I seem to be more consistent throughout the game with consistency maxed and the Gatorade skill. Stamina now seems to also affect free throws. Shooting the same shots over and over again even if you're open does not help with consistent shooting unless you're on a hot streak. When that streak is over though, start passing it off. Blocking your opponents' shots seem to get the opposing team's offense off-kilter.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Man ever since I equipped Gatorade, we've blown out our last 3 teams. Getting dub-dubs are easier to accumulate too since I have more energy to do things & having LBJ as a teammate doesn't hurt either (btw if anyone forgot: it's just me & him with mediocre players on the Lakers). Anyway I just slash & dish or run plays & LeBron does what he does for us to win games. Oh & I'm making him our closer, whether he has the skill or not, he's dropping the shots at the end of the shot clock. We're on a streak too & I think we're 14-9. Hopefully we'll bring a championship back to LA & regain this dynasty.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Good read, thank you.

I've made a 7'2 center and I've got severe stamina problems. Not that I run that much - I barely ever sprint - but it seems my height and weight are punished with extreme stamina drain. My stamina is maxed out at 85, but still I'm tired for the whole 4th quarter. I think I have to buy the Gatorade Sig skill next, although I actually didn't want to. There are so many other nice things out there (Post Proficiency, Tenacious Rebounder, Finisher?, Brick Wall?, Defensive Anchor? and it seems I've got to look at Hustle Points, as well).

Hustle points to me seems overrated. It's usually not hard to score if you're in such a good position that you get an offensive board in the first place. For stamina you can buy a training boost, +10 stamina for 5 games for just 90 VC.

Just uploaded a video on my experience and tips as a big man in 2K14. At least you can actually play a big man now. Last game was unplayable when plays broke down every time you set a screen.

My big men seem to slide around too easily. I'd like to feel more grounded. Other than that I like it.

Yeah, some of the animations seem to drag you around a lot more than least season. 2K's saying there's better foot planting in next-gen so we might see an improvement there. Seems like MyCareer is getting a few upgrades too. Some of the story lines and cutscenes might be cheesy as hell but will probably still improve the experience.
