NBA 2K14 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

[YungThugga08]

This is the first time for the whole season that we're blown a team out by 30.. I'm still dumbfounded by it and I played that game last night..

I was thinking of starting a new thread but might as well ask in here.

THE SHOT WILL GO IN. no matter who it is. a guy will have a 60 3pt rating and drain a 3 right in your face.

Some of that still happens pretty frequently even on Pro and Superstar. When I first got the game and started the mode, I played on Pro/Sim. Teams generally shot between 50%-60% from the floor against me. Granted I'm on the 76ers and the roster in year one is just obscenely bad, but still. I'm playing on Superstar/Sim now and the cheese is even worse. I decided, about 30ish games ago, to quit trying to keep the game realistic and just put up the most absurd numbers I could (mostly scoring) because it's really the only way you can consistently win. And it's a video game, I don't care as much about realism in MyCareer as I do MyGM.

There's 3-5 times a game some below average 3P shooter drains a standstill three with a hand in their face as the shot clock winds down. There's another 3-5 times a game someone dances around with the ball for 23 seconds, takes a contested pull-up 20 footer...and drains it. There's several times a game where someone pulls-up from the short corner and lobs a high arcing shot over the top corner of the backboard and drains the shot.

And, as a PG, I'm getting REALLY frustrated with the insanely high number of turnovers. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. I don't try and force passes when I know the man I'd like to pass it to has two or three defenders around him or anything like that...and I'm still averaging right at 5 turnovers per game. And it's seemingly just gotten worse. In my last ten games I've had: 3, 9, 5, 8, 7, 7, 4, 11, 7, and 8 turnovers. I'm barely into the second quarter of a game I'm playing right now and I've already got 4 turnovers. Yes, I'm to blame for some of those but it's still pretty infuriating.

Am I the only one who has this much trouble NOT committing turnovers?

The game after where he asks you to be the sidekick.

I finally got around to playing this, and I went to the Suns with the 5th pick, so I was pretty happy about that. But in the first 3 games I played pretty bad. In the first game I played it was against the Thunder, and it was really close. But I committed 2 turnovers which messed up the whole game and gave them a 5 point lead at the end. In the next one against the Pelicans, we won but I only got 4 pts. The next game I did a bit better, with 7 pts and a few boards. I guess that I didn't pass the ball to Bledsoe, even though I didn't see any icon telling me to pass it to him, so he got all pissed off. Idk I guess I'll try to play again later or tomorrow. We're going 4-1 so far so it isn't that bad.

See, I've done three different MyCareer guys & never been asked to be a sidekick

[SmooveBeast]

I only had to do it in one and that was the only one I didn't get traded in the first season.
