Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

The pathetic Oklahoma Thunder losing streak continues! Westbrook only played 31 minutes.. but scored 25.. 3 turnovers late to make sure the game was a loss.

Durant played 43 minutes and .. took 4 shots! last game he shot 5 times.. and he only had 5 rebounds! Because he never shoots the ball in this game on my team he's only shot 65 free throws in 26 games.

Lamb continues to miss double-digits in shots per game, and the Thunder as a team BLOW every fast break.. instead of going to the basket they stop and shoot a 15 foot jump shot and miss!

Even in the 4 game losing streak my center got his first player of the week award, got well over 900 VC it says in post-game in the loss to Spurs as a key game.. BUT only got credit after the game for 838 of them.

Bought the defensive anchor signature stat in an attempt to improve what's so been terrible and getting old fast lately. 14-12 Thunder team vs. a 7 win Raptors team BETTER be a double-digit win or I'll be pulling the whole "I don't want to play with" GM convo dealing with Lamb mostly

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

SO damn pathetic, I'm getting ready to say screw it and delete this Center that's actually getting good and scoring and getting boards. My 14-12 Thunder lose 5 in a row now, 98-95 to a Toronto team that was 7-17.. it's far more than frustrating anymore, when you read everyone else talking about Durant in 'My Career' mode not tanking like a scrub.

Durant had 3 shots of HIS blocked again.. played 38 minutes and took 5 total shots and scored 4 whole points wtf.. Westbrook shot 4 of 13, Lamb needed 9 of 23 (6 of 15 for 3's) to score 24 points.

My center was 11-16 for 27 points.. would have been 11-15 but 7 seconds left they drove to the lane and passed to me, instead of a real outside shooter for a 3 while down by 3, if I don't at least attempt it the game ends losing anyway.. somehow my Center has a 63 rating from 3 so I shoot 1 or 2 a game .. all of my made buckets in the game were underneath in the paint. Again Westbrook's minutes went way down, to 33 this game, not even 3 quarters of the game!

I don't dare demand a trade either, since the pieces that make another team good would end up in OKC instead of giving me another player who will score. Went to the GM to complain about Lamb just to see what happens, would love his minutes to go WAY down.. Sefolosha doesn't shoot much when he's on the floor on my 2K team, but maybe if I can get him on the floor Durant will actually shoot/score

add: Looks like the GM talk was a good thing.. they took 6 minutes from Lamb and put Sefolosha up to 15 in the rotation anyway.. maybe that means 5 less missed shots by Lamb Reggie Jackson and Derek Fisher splitting the backup PG duties which may explain why Westbrook has been playing under 35 minutes

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

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.

Every game I have to have "Player of the Game" stats this year just to stay competitive.

My Wolves are now 5-12 and it just seems scripted this year more then any year so far. I'm waiting to see if, after the all-star break my team has a miraculous comeback and we end up taking the 7th or 8th seed ... at this point I'm convinced this is going to happen.

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 have no issues with the things that you cite. Where I have problems is the following:

1: No matter how many points I am up by in the middle of the third quarter ( 10, 20, 30, 35), by the 3 minute mark of the fourth quarter, the opposing team takes the lead and the game ends in a 2 point difference. I can be playing Utah or Oklahoma and I can have 6 time outs to use or none, the games always follow the same scoring pattern.

2: The players are just off on their game-play. Kevin Love ends up with 11 boards a night but he just does not dominate the way he does in real life. He has the signature skill to start a fast break but I have yet to see him actually hit a streaking guard ... usually because the game slows the transition up so that the opposing D gets back and set-up properly.

3: Even when I do a clean steal on the opposing guard and turbo flat out in an attempt to land a basket, the opposing guard always catches up to me and either fouls me or "prevents the fast break".

4: The instant recovery does not work both ways. If I trigger an animation, the lack of control over my character prevents me from recovering and in order to defend properly I have to use my knowledge of the computer ai tendencies to place myself in "just the right" spot to counter what I already know what is coming.

I know that monumental comebacks do happen (ie the Clippers beating OKC tonight) - that is not my gripe. My gripe is that it happens way too much - almost every game this year. Blow-outs do happen as well.

There has to be a standing dunk glitch! I have a 6'10 Athletic PF (94 ovr rating) on the Blazers and he never dunks. NEVER!

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Just started one with Nogster's rosters on HOF Sim so that hopefully the AI plays a lot smarter. Through 3 games so far its playing well but we suck. I'm on the Mavericks backing up Marion. I made a scoring small forward and so far, the only sig skill I have is finisher which does work. I started with around 20,000 VC since I've been playing online ranked matches a lot and have also been playing offline association. They just upped my role to 6th man so we'll see how that goes.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

My 7'1 All around center, albeit fatigued, should still JUMP for a rebound when I press triangle, damnit.

My Athletic 6'7 PG on another PSN gets almost 6RPG and i'm not trying quite as hard.


what the heck.

My 7'1 Center hasn't dunked ONCE in 27 games, and that's with me loading up points on BOTH dunks and using the right trigger to try and initiate the dunk. In my season it seems the ONLY dunks are the occasional alley-oop, or the guy I'm guarding after we make a basket and the game slows so I can't get back on D in time for an easy down court pass. Haven't even seen Durant dunk once when I'm on the court

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Here we go again.. against the KNICKS, down 5 with a minute left in first quarter I go to the bench.. for some reason I sat for 9 minutes of game time, back with 5 minutes left in 2nd and team is down 17 points.. Thunder on their way to 6 straight losses.. KD has 2 points in this first half.. Lamb is 1-7 shooting 0-5 from 3.. The only even okay thing about this is Durant shot 5 times.. making 1.. the last 3 games he's ONLY shot 5 times total each game

1st half over, STILL down 17.. Durant played.. 9 minutes in the first half! The game is intentionally screwing me to lose over and over again.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

wow, 2 pts for KD in a half? Are you playing on HOF?

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Nope, just playing on all-star..... KD is averaging BARELY 14 PPG and 6 rebounds in my career's season.. playing 40 minutes usually.. he will NOT shoot! just stands at the top of the key in triple threat for a few seconds and passes most of the time. In this game vs Knicks (Christmas Day) Myself (7 of 8) Westbrook (6 of 12) Lamb (4 of 14) have more shot attempts than his 1 of 6 shooting with 4 minutes left in the third.. KD is BROKEN in my game.. season high was 30 before I became a starter.. I pass to him every time. Team Chemistry is nearly 90% the last 10 games too

So far in 4th quarter I've had to try and take over.. now 13 of 15 shooting.. all easy under the basket layups to get up to 28 points.. the ONLY shot Durant's taken in the 4th quarter was a fast break 2 on 1 that he wildly bricked a hook shot.. it's like playing with a little kid watching him. Wish I could DVR this stuff and share it. They have Derek Fisher in the game in the final minutes INSTEAD of Westbrook?? Yeah right!

My GM talk got Sefolosha in the game more, he's 4 of 4 shooting, 3 of 3 from three.. but hasn't played since early in the 3rd, Lamb still missing double digit shots .. 8 of 19 overall 3 of 11 from three

Got the lead down to 3 points.. biggest deficit was 20, then 'Melo' decided it was takeover time and back down by 14 points 2 a couple minutes later

Lost by 16, with Fisher missing over and over again from outside and Westbrook on the bench the last I don't know how many minutes, he (Westbrook) finished with 32 minutes played, and Durant only played 29 minutes.. 1 of 8 shooting for 4 points! Lamb ended up playing 36 minutes, even after me asking to have him play less.. took 20 shots, made 8.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Just got the 'I'm sick of losing' GM talk thanks to the 6 game losing streak..

Heres KD's messed up stats after 28 games and a 14-14 record:

13.9 PPG (BUT hasn't scored more than 14 in 7 games, and only has 8 games of 20 or more points in the 28 games, and 9 games of UNDER 10 points. the last 4 games he's made 1 shot the last 3 and NONE the game before those! He's not hurt, and his overall is 95+1 He hasn't shot a 3-pointer in 4 games, then he was 0-1.. he hasn't MADE a 3 in 8 games!

It's been 5 games since Durant hit 2 shots in a game, going 1-8, 1-5, 1-4, 0-5 the last 4 and 4-11 the game before that one! He gets to the line once a game at best, so it's not like he's being fouled on shot attempts to keep the attempt numbers low.

In looking at 'Metrics' Durant's PER is down to 13.26 but efficiency at 18.2. and he's down to 14 touches a game..and only shoots has a usage % of 15.9 in the game. What did they DO to him? His game score is all the way down to 11.7 now.. he's not even a below average PF/SF anymore yet everyone else's posts talk about big numbers from the guy

My Center should be affecting Durant's game either, I have't played a minute of PF.. overall is up to 73.. 31.6 minutes 16.4 ppg 9.2 boards, both numbers climbing. Like I mentioned before I pass to Durant when I get the ball outside the paint

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I know this might sound stupid, but is there anyway I can get moved down the rotation at my team? It's nice getting minutes but there's no way I should be getting 23mpg when there's far more accomplished (and better) SG's in the team.

Can anyone help?

if u have the give a teammate more minutes option choose it and select one of the Sg on your team it might give them 1-5 minute more why taking a few minutes off yours or some one else.

I don't have that option unfortunately, but thanks for the suggestion!
