Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm a SF right now on the 'Wolves and they are a dynasty in the making; the only pieces I don't like or wish I could get a better player are Williams and Shabazz. Shabazz is too slow to play SG and too short to play PF when I'm in and Williams rebounding is kinda spotty; if we could replace them I wouldn't worry about my bench as much.

In my limited experience (Have not made it past the all-star break with the Wolves) my problem children are Berrea(sp) and Brewer. Shabazz does play like a tru rookie, but as an outlet receiver, he tends to do better then as a primary or secondary option.

If you are playing SF, does Budinger get moved to SG or does the GM move him in trades? Budinger has been my bud for years and for some reason he and I are like MJ and Pippen.

...Finish off last half of year 6. Won't make playoffs again. (key games only)

I play every game. In a way only playing key games is more realistic - but not as much fun (at least for me).

... Still can't get Local Fan support up. Any tips.

You can boost your popularity by giving to the charity or the animal shelter or going to the movies or any of those choices. For some unknown reason, the animal shelter appeals to me.

If by this you are asking how it chooses between right/left it is determined by you are driving on the basket. Mike Wang said they are working on this being an actual choice we can make in NG and he mentioned that it might be available to CG in the patch ... but we will see.

Right now, I maximize my animation chances by making sure my "favored dunking hand" is "either" ... that way there should be no penalty if I mess up my approach.

We haven't made any trades yet, but Budinger gets ALOT of time at the 2 and he's pretty productive when he's on. For some reason I just don't like Shabazz, maybe it's because the only time he's on the floor with me he's at PF and getting abused; when my SF is at the point and Shabazz is at the 3 he's a joy to play with, but unluckily for him the AI rarely puts me at the point so it's looking like he might be trade bait at the deadline.

i know about purchasing local fan support but since I only play key games and team Im on sucks it won't even matter b/c we will lost most games. B/C Even though by a long mile Im best Player on team Offense is not focus around me when I sim.

I also put both hands when Creating my player. U can't adjust once u start career.
Never know what hand u got to Jam on somebody with however I did pick Left as my Strong hand.

Wish fan support wasn't so up and down. Especially after u been with a team going on year 3 and 2 years with team u made All star squad as a Starter.

I see everyone being able to get Trades done with either options wether GM ask on his own, Trade a teammate or tired of losing. Is it b/c u been with a team so Long and u don't switch teams often or is it b/c u have a 75 or higher local fan support.

Missing a few names off NBA players list who don't follow me.

It would be so Nice just to get players I WANT wether FA/Trade. In Yr 4 of 5 yr contract if I don't get any help. Im jumping ship. To long of a season to play all 82 games 12 min qtrs.

Really would like to stay in Orlando and bring them a Chip but If not Might be going Where I can compete preferably Star of team.

'll even take 2nd option Roll depending on player. However it will be 7 years into league current players will be knocking down 30 if not past it already at least the STUDS.

When asking to trade away player do u give away player u don't like no matter OVERALL or do u go with less knowing guy hope he is traded along with other person u really want to trade. Still can't get logic behind Trading in MYCAREER.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm a PG on the Celtics and I absolutely hate playing with Rajon Rondo. Either I get bumped to the 2 guard and Rondo dribbles around for 20 seconds before passing to me and making me jack up a contested jumper, or I'm the PG with Rondo at the 2 and I break down a defense only to see Rondo brick open jumper after jumper.

I really kind of liked the thought of being the centerpiece for the rebuilding of a storied franchise, but I don't know how much longer I can deal with playing with Rondo.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Is rebounding broken this year coz my rebounding is 90 ( Maxed ) and im averaging 5rpg. My guy cant rebound to save his life, im a 7'2 centre 285pounds. Any one got any tips on how to rebound better?

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

This video might help:

I'd say rebounding is all about off ball movement plus boxing out.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Seriously, something is wrong...

I am consistently getting my team up by 10-20 points and then getting subbed out. When I come back in I am either down by 5-10 points or they are within 1-5 points and are hot for the rest of the game and I am ice cold.

My record in this mode is 10-25...For someone who is starting games up by 10-20 points this record isn't right.

WTF is happening in this game? This is literally the worst and most unsatisfying Mycareer experience I have had. Did they just break this mode this year??

Yeah, I'm on the TWolves and that happens with me. I'm an 88 overall PG and 79 overall Ricky Rubio is forcing me to play 2 guard for most of the game. Very annoying.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Doesn't even matter doe. I've decided since I can't transfer MyCAREER to next-gen, I won't bother playing it since I'll be getting a PS4 at Christmas. Even if you could, I wouldn't want to transfer it because I'd miss all the new cut scenes and features in next-gen. Also, I haven't been able to play a game the past week because of some stupid glitch where the game freezes everytime I try to play a match. Until next-gen, I guess I'll start a PTG and playing Quick Ranked games.

THIS makes me mad. How have they not fixed this issue yet? It's been around since 2k12 or earlier.

I'd suggest playing several non key games in a row to get your local fan support up before playing your next key game. If it was me, since my key games are 3 sometimes 4 weeks apart, I'd play at least 5 games before I played my next key game, in all I'd probably end up playing 34 games each season(25 non key games and 9 key games).

Had to click a couple things to actually get your photo to show but it looks like Kirk Hinrich fumbling the ball around if that's the picture you're showing

Just to get a STEAL in the dynamic goal situation of 1 stat each in a quarter I run by the other team with the ball and bump the ball and get the steal.. fumbling and your teammates running into you with the ball causing a turnover are way down from 2k12's major "physics" problem.

I think a bigger issue this year is still being pulled 20 feet out of bounds from anywhere on the court at times by a defender

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

With Jeremy Lamb averaging 17 points and shooting 15 times a game (at least half if not 2/3 from deep) plus my Center playing big minutes after 19 games, Kevin Durant's numbers are WAY down in my 'Rookie' season as Center.

in 4 games with my center starting, Durant's scored 20 points once, 11 once and under 10 points twice. Yet, his MINUTES are up to 40. Every player on the team has started passing to me now except him, so I shot 22 (12 of 22) times last game while he took 4 shots. team is 2-2 with my starting but I've had 2 double-doubles and missed 2 by 1 board each.

As happy as I am that there are more (for my team) free throw chances in 2k14.. I'm getting sick all the last second 'bail out' fouls with shot clock down to 2 or 1 my guys fouling wild shots. That said, my Thunder team is still 200 free throws SHORT of the 2nd least in the league. I would like to think it's because of all the 3-point shots taken, but Houston leads the league in 3's shot AND free throws attempted thanks I guess to all the rebounds they get.
