One other thing you can do is use the Hardened badge. It seems to help.
On to my latest experience:
So I started a 2nd MyCareer (1st one crashes on load) and got drafted by the Cavs (right before the Bulls, who actually interviewed me, DAMMIT). Well they're terrible. Jarrett Jack is a friggin' ball hog and Kyrie doesn't play like the star he's supposed to be. Got sick of losing close ones cuz the posts can't play defense so I demanded a trade 1st chance I had.
Got traded to the Raptors and 1st game got blown out by 30 by the Bulls (who now have Oden and Ray Allen, ugh stupid trades). I'm like, "screw this" and demanded a trade again. Then the next 2 games we actually win and I have good games, so I change my mind.
Next game we play the Heat, and Lebron chats me up before the game out on the court and apologizes for the L he's about to lay on us. Crap. Once I get in the game we're down 11, and I couldn't throw a rock in the ocean if I was standing in a boat, but manage to get to the line 3 or 4 times in the 2nd and score 12 by halftime and we're only down 5.
2nd half we hang with them and it's neck and neck (I'm shooting much better and getting a few dimes and boards). Then the coach lays "score 10 straight" on me. I'm like hell this is never good, but I'm kinda hot so decide to go for it. I've got 6 or 7 straight with a little under 2 minutes in the game and we're tied, AND I GET SUBBED OUT FOR LIKE 45 SECONDS! WHAT THE HELL?! But I get back in and we're up 2 somehow, and the Heat are in foul mode and I seal it with 2 free throws and score 39 points, although I missed my dynamic goal because of that stupid sub at the end. BUT YEAH SUCK IT LEBRON! BOOM!
It was really awesome, though. The last few games I've actually been getting subbed out like I should for a breather and everything. Don't know why cuz I'm on PS4 and don't have patch 3 yet (even though it apparently doesn't fix much), but I'll take it. If 2k would just get all the glitches fixed this would be such a good game. I actually had the practice glitch where it crashes when you hard foul your teammate. After failing to get through it legit a few times I just stood on the side and let time run out. Things have been smooth since then.
