Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

After only a few hours with the game today, unfortunately I'm incredibly disappointed with My Player this year. The lack of improvements to the mode are staggering. Here are just a few -

1. The exact same create a player features from 2k12 (these actually haven't been updated since 2k11)
2. Once again, the lack of custom sliders in My Player (how many years will this continue?)
3. The inability to turn off Auto-Save this year....why in the world is this a good idea?
4. Unless you are a PG, you can't even SEE the plays that are being called for your team, much less call any yourself. What a disaster.

Still can't sim single games, either. I seriously can't believe it.

That is disappointing. I only played the rookie showcase last night and like someone else was saying ere are no changes to any part if the creation process. Actually, the one thing I did notice is the "buzz" hairstyle is different. Other than that the tattoos and everything else are the same.

Auto save isn't that big of a deal to me but damn, who else had a hard time figuring out how to create more than one MyPlayer? Ridiculous....

No one has probably finished their first few years and gotten a new contract.

But how will this work, is the cap space in coins or what?


I asked this several times before and it's kinda stupid that they did it like this. Coins are good as a replacement of skill points, but not as a replacement of real dollars.

MyPlayer cap question: http://youtu.be/Z275JRg5Ips I don't know how to embed videos on here but: At 4:57 it is shown that your annual salary is 500 coins a year. I thought this aspect would remain realistic and your salary would be paid out in dollars. I'm all cool with the coins but what about the cap/cap space?! So how is your MyPlayer pressing on the cap? The equivalent of these 500 coins should be 1.3 million dollars. If I get a max. contract after 3-4 years, will it be in $' or what? Is Lebron James 2 year contract worth 6000 coins annually? Example: If I want to take on a lower salary so we can sign Lebron James in free agency (your player has influence on the team/management so I thought we could choose this), I need to know how much he is earning and see if it's doable with our cap. It's too diificult to base this of some new currency as in coins. So will it be something like: Cap space allowed: 4000 coins?

The combination of the two just wrecked my first career. I didn't really notice the top option is now play key game instead of play next game like it has been the last 2 years...at least I think it was. There was no "are you sure?" Or any prompt...

Game started simming away..couldn't get it to stop, which I think I could last year with B on xbox. So 26 games completed, and then autosaved.

It's my own fault, but still totally ridonkulous.

Wow, that's f'ed up moledude... I did chuckle though when I read your post but that's because you could have expected something like this from 2K .

Soooooooo can we use other jerseys other than the default home and away for MyCareer ?

Anyone finding their player moves way too slow in my career mode? I'm playing an athletic SF with a rating i believe 77spd 75 quick and my player is like a slug on the court. i played the same loadout last year and he was no where as slow as he is now. just wondering if its just this setup or if all positions/styles feel slow now.
