Let me start off by saying that “MyCareer” is my favorite game mode but there are a few things I think definitely need to be addressed going forward.
So, after not making the playoffs my 1st year with the Kings, I decided to split Sacramento and team up with Dwight and Harden in Houston. I came in rated about an 82 and was immediately implanted into the starting lineup (I’m a 6’4” PG). Btw, I’m playing on Superstar.
Based on how the AI performs in regular (quick) games, I assumed that teaming up with these all-stars would be a match made in heaven. However, about 9 games into the season, it’s growing increasingly frustrating to watch my virtual teammates perform as poorly as they have in past iterations of 2K.
Dwight more times than not attempts awkward and ugly post shots and makes those at a low percentage while also missing a disproportionate amount of put backs and easy layups under the basket.
As far as Harden, I set him up with wide open looks a lot and he’ll catch it and either stand there with the ball looking shell shocked or dribble INTO the defense taking a contested shot. That happens way too often to be overlooked. When he gets the ball in a one on one situation, he plays nothing like himself or how he does if I just play a quick game against Houston. There he uses dribble moves and is supper aggressive in trying to score. Right now I’m averaging about 31ppg, 4rpg, 8ast, 2stl, 1blk. I know some folks will say “those are great #’s” but I actually don’t want to average so many points. I would rather average in the low to mid 20’s with double figure assists.
However, as these guys are performing, that wouldn’t equate into W’s. This leads me to why I titled this thread “don’t stick to the script”. My last game was against the Dallas Mavericks. I had a career high in points (53), steals (6), blocks (5) while pulling down about 7 boards. On top of that, I got a game winning dunk over Tyson Chandler with less than 2 seconds left for the two point win. After all that I’m thinking, “ok @ least maybe I’ll get my shoe deal offer after such a performance”. Quite the opposite.
In the locker room after the game, I proceeded to get reamed out by the assistant coach and Doc Rivers about poor defense. Jameer Nelson couldn’t have scored more than 10 points on me and I already listed my stats. After getting an A+ rating & POG honors, I thought I’d @ least get a pat on the back, not knives. This is just a horrible example of the scripted story not applying to what you’re actually doing on the court.
For the most part, I appreciate the story and what it brings to the mode but I think the game needs to be more “conscious” of what’s actually happening from game to game. This was a huge bitter/sweet moment for me. I just turned the console off after that. 2K please work on this for your games in the future.
Anyone else dealt with these type of issues?

Made it easier on the eyes. People won't read a huge paragraph like that.
Anyway, I agree with you, for the most part. MyCareer has been a let down for me so far, I haven't even touched the park, yet. My team chemistry is 90% yet we can't win a game unless I sim. It's worse than last year (2k14) imo, as I won multiple championships with the Pistons. This year, I'm with the he Knicks and we are 3-11 lol. I'm leading the league in assists and points, as well as blocks, steals and triple doubles. Superstar sim.
We can't win unless I sim lol. The CPU goes on unstoppable runs where they don't miss, even after taking terrible shots. And my team can't buy a bucket, even wide open lay ups. There are instances where I have a teammate going up with a dunk animation then all of a sudden switches to a layup animation midway, and misses, wide open. I have video and screenshots of this nonsense.
I don't think 2K will fix it though. There will be people who will say we suck, yet won't dare play us locally. MyCareer is scripted nonsense, you just have to enjoy it for what it is.
I hope things change my 3rd season though. Hopefully I can make the playoffs or be on a winning team. I don't mind losing, but when it's blatant scripting, it's annoying.
