Without anymore details(team, position, play style, rating) all I can really say is run plays. You can set them to auto in the MyCareer main menu or if you're a PG, a Point Forward SF or you have the on court coach sig skill you can call them yourself.

Nope, more common than you think.

Used to happen a lot, now not so much. I think it has a lot to do with team chemistry; I've had some games where I was in and we were down 10+ and I got subbed out then the team went up by 10+, a couple games ago Love, Rubio and I were doing all we could to keep the game close then we get subbed out and Barea, Budinger, Shved and Asik erupted with Budinger going for 20, Shved and Barea both had 10+ points and 7+ assists and Asik had 5 points and 13 rebounds I like to attribute games like this to the fact that I have 100% team chemistry.

Seems like now I have a 50-50 chance of getting traded. One it'll follow through & the other the game will freeze when trying to play the next game or key game. So here we go again. I wish next gen was here already so I can just play through & not worry about getting myself traded or not. Maybe I will but man this is getting tough on current gen.

Having the CPU run plays is your best bet, depending on your teammate chemistry they will more plays for you. When I'm not in control of the offense with my SF the AI generally runs 20-25 plays for me a game, other times I iso until I see an opening to drive, take the midrange jumper or look for an assist also you can have your bigs set screens to free yourself up for an open jumper. As far as the controls go, I like the new setup, it feels more fluid.

Happened to me 2 games ago against Brooklyn. We were up 8 in the 3rd quarter, they subbed me out, and when I came back with about 5 mins left in the 4th we were down 16. I was beyond pissed. And also, it seems like Joe Johnson doesn't miss.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Has anyone else noticed a significant improvement in player tendencies, plays actually working (not breaking because your teammates do not pass etc) in MyPlayer recently?

I am playing for a new team (Bulls) in my 2nd season, they used to play quite awful just like the Heat, my 1st season before (guards do nothing but drive, bigs do nothing but try to get offensive rebounds), plays all broke because noone would shoot wide open shots - basically the team was useless, you had to carry them. The only ones scoring were me and Rose, others scored 0-5 points (in 48 minutes).

However in the last 2-3 days they suddenly started doing their job consistently, Deng shooting 3s, Butler going on fast breaks and also shooting etc. Also there are much more plays called now that are not for my PF, and they go through to a score or at least a shot.

It is a very welcome change, makes the game 10x more enjoyable (you actually feel like playing for a TEAM) and I am not sure what caused this. Btw I had 100% chemistry all season, so that is not what changed. Maybe a silent tendency update or fix?

I don't really want to score 30+, but I just have to sometimes just to keep the score close. Even with my average I'm not leading the league in scoring, KD is, with 33.6 ppg.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Holidayed until the playoffs, won a ROY with averages in 18,8,3, All-NBA/All-Rookie/All-Defensive First Team, lost in the 2nd round to Nets 1:4, after i lost game 1 where i had like 33/9/7 and still lost by 15 pts, also in the off-season the only move we made is getting Spencer Hawes . Considering asking for a trade, because no way i can win a title when the biggest aquisition our GM makes is a backup Center... Can someone reccommend a team that might be a PG away from a title contender or should i just suck it up and play with the Magic? Pacers is not probably an option anymore, because they traded Hibbert to me.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

You know, I really tried to give this mode a chance but I'm done. I'm going back to 2k13 for MyCareer. Thank God I didnt delete that file... My Career on 2k14 is pure garbage imo. I'm sick and tired of getting stripped whenever the cpu decides to REACH IN. Or sometimes I just dribble the ball off someone's leg. Mind you, my Ball Security and Ball Handling are both 92. Even the scoring system for drills is flawed ( no bonus for steals, blocks or good shot defense). Not to mention the over-the-top shot clock and 3 point cheese. Even my career for 2k10 is better than this garbage. With all this said though, Association Mode is great, so I'll play that mode and go back to 2k13 for My Career.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

You know this game is messed up with Danny Green (San Antonio) blocks a Kevin Durant tomahawk slam breakaway layup. KD now hasn't scored in 5 straight quarters in 'My Career' season.

Starting to see why people only play Key Games.. cause this is pathetic 14 ppg for Durant.. 5 shots per game.. while Lamb shoots 20 times.. half are 3 attempts
