Yes, rebounding is still low - Timmy is averaging 5 rebounds a game when I think he averages 7 a game irl. Again, I am using default roster here so a custom roster might get this better.

Concerning him fouling - I'd have to observe the situations and context. There are games where fouls are happening because they are on a "run" and we are on our heels defensively and there are games where a person is just cold and lethargic.

In the former case calling a time out or slowing the pace is very important to get back to form. The latter case, you just gotta grin and bear it.

This also happens with shooting. Leonard is usually my second option for scoring but last game he struggled. He opened 1-4 on his attempts. So I had to shift to the 3rd option (Duncan/me) and the 4th option of Splitter to get our scoring going. I still gave Leonard the ball but initiated passing sequences with him and led him with the pass on fast breaks.

The give-and-go pass combo can be used to give the ball to your cold player then get it back immediately. Sometimes he will ignore you but usually he won't.

Also, one way of getting big men going is by doing reverse screens for them. At times the ai seems to get caught in a half-way mode and the only way out of it is to push the opposite guys away from them by screens.

I'm playing the Rockets in the 1st round of the playoffs right now and my Kings teammates foul anyone that enter the paint. The problem with that is we can't rebound, so we defend well and get a stop, but we give up the offensive rebound to Howard or Asik or Harden or Parsons or Aaron Brooks and then we foul on put back attempt. That **** is frustrating.

So we won the title, during the ceremony russell gave me the finals mvp award, yet after everything it showed derrick rose won the award. ha, whatever.

Boozer got traded to the nets and in return I got some random rookies. During the last playoff run though one of the randomly created players on my team was playing great so boozer wasnt a big loss.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

Lost game 7 first rd of the playoffs to the Rockets after we were up 2 games to none. Though, I did have to go into beast mode and bring the team back from behind in those first 2 games. Only won 1 game comfortably the entire series, team didn't have an answer for Howard and the Rockets front court. They dominated my Kings on the glass.

Now onto season 2! Last season John Salmons and Carl Landry were starters and Isiah Thomas was the sixth man. This season Landry is a reserve and Salmons and Thomas are gone. I think the new starting 5 looks much better.

PG - Jojo Brown 86 ovr (myplayer)
SG - Ben McLemore 76
SF - Jimmy Butler 82 (never shoots)
PF - Patrick Patterson 75
C - Demarcus Cousins 84

I feel for you. The Rockets with the default roster are a beast. The handed me my worse loss of the season so far. Good luck on that.

Perhaps a hack-a-Dwight strategy would work or you can try to get him into foul trouble?

Got him into foul trouble a few of the games, but then Asik comes in and dominates just the same. Tough team to play, they rebound so well offensively, then if you miss a shot they are grabbing the defensive rebound and running immediately. They protect the rim really well so trying to score inside is a pain, lots of blocked shots then they're running again. My team just wasn't good enough to win that series, lost in 7.

Re: NBA 2K14 Official MyCAREER Thread

I came close to a quadruple double and my second 5x5 of the season; 27 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 steals and 4 blocks in a win against the Lakers. Rubio had 26 points and 10 assists, while Love had 21 points and 3 blocks.

The Nuggets are doing a complete overhaul of their team, making 5 trades in 3 weeks:

Jordan Hamilton to the Knicks for Kenyon Martin
Javale McGee and Quincy Miller to the Celtics for Courtney Lee and Keith Bogans
Darrell Arthur and a '15 2nd rounder to the Bulls for Kirk Hinrich
Danilo Gallinari and a '14 1st rounder to the Mavericks for Shawn Marion
Nate Robinson to the Suns for Miles Plumlee and a 2nd rounder

The Mavericks seem to be on the same path with 3 trades in a 1.5 weeks:

Brandan Wright and a 1st rounder to the Trailblazer for Robin Lopez and a 2nd rounder
The aforementioned Marion trade
Monta Ellis to the Cavaliers for Anderson Varejao and a 2nd rounder

Wow at these trades...

No logic at all especially for the Nuggets. It looks like they could be rebuilding, but then they trade a 1st round pick for Marion.


Monta Ellis to the Cavs for Varejao makes absolutely no sense. Great for the Cavs though.. they trade their backup Center for an above-average Shooting Guard.

I have mixed feelings concerning trades this year. For example in my Spurs season, Indiana traded George Hill for Jose Calderon. In reality, this trade would never go through (imo) yet in game, it was a smart move for both teams given the situation they were in.

I just don't want something as bad as Blake Griffon for Kevin Love.

My OKC Thunder traded Russell Westbrook for Rajon Rondo and Marshon Brooks. I was not too happy about this since Russell was the second leading scorer in the league behind me. In my second championship, Rajon won MVP even though he only averaged 5 ppg 5 assists 1.5 rebounds 1 steal. The game had my stats as DNQ for some reason. Team playoff stats have me scoring 41 ppg, 7 rebounds, 4 steals, 6 assists, and 3 blocks per game. In my third season now, and here's to hoping that does not happen again.

For what's going on in-game I understand some of the Nuggets trades, but IRL the don't seem feasible. Martin, Marion and Plumlee are playing better than Arthur, McGee and Gallo; the team's offense has suffered going from 7th in ppg to 15th, but their defense went from 22nd in Oppg to 12th and their rebounding went from 17th to 11th and they've won 7 of 11 games. The Mavs seem to be doing well with Lopez, Gallo and Andy; Lopez is still averaging 8 and 8 while Gallo is averaging 19 and 9 with the Mavs and Andy is averaging 9 and 11 and they've won 4 out of 7 since. Currently the Nuggets are 5th and the Mavs are up to 7th after being 10th.

Since PC Career is way harder then console Career I resorted to using hacks to make a 99 overall PG. Then I said "Hey, I'm better then Jordan!" and decided to try and beat all Jordan's records, including winning 7 rings. I'm going to post my progress here.

That's 3 peat twice... Not easy even if it is a game. Jordan is definitely the G.O.A.T

That's why I decided to do it, since it's pretty much impossible and if my player does it he would be the GOAT. So far I'm a rookie on the Raptors and we are 29-28. Right now I'm quietly trying to make the playoffs, since I know we will go deep if we make it.
