I know my Cavs team even with myselfon the court is going to beat the Heat when Boobie Gibson is holding the ball more then Kyrie. Hell I'm still trying to figure how to get him off the team...he freaking sucks.

I went from Allstar to Superstar and I was losing bad, to every ****ty team like the Bobcats.

There is too much cheese going on that difficulty, the players are boosted way too much. Doesn't make it fun at all.

Re: Mycareer: How come I'm the only starter playing garbage time minutes?

I'm on SS sim and I'm still winning by 20+ a lot with the Bobcats. Anyway, rotations are broken throughout all game modes in 2K, not just MC. I'm almost always on the floor late during blowouts, with foul trouble or low fatigue.

In MC my current team consists of:
PG- Walker and Sessions
SG- Gordon, Henderson and Carroll
SF- Me, MKG, Reggie Williams and Jeff Taylor
PF- Thomas and Biyombo
C- Haywood, Mullens and Diop

Walker, Sessions, and Carroll can play PG/SG. Gordon, Henderson and Williams can play SG/SF. Taylor and MKG can play SG/SF/PF. Thomas and Biyombo can play SF/PF/C. Haywood, Mullens and Diop can play PF/C. I can play PG/SG/SF/PF.

Diop and Biyombo get no playing time. Sessions and Walker primarily play the point and are almost never on the floor at the same time. They won't put me at point, Gordon at SG and MKG at SF or me at SG Walker at point, MKG at SF or any number of combinations. Instead I get stuck at C/PF with when I'm not playing SF, MKG is either not on the floor with me or he's at PF when he is.

There are a lot of different line ups that we could throw at teams to give us an advantage or rest starters without losing much on the floor, but we don't because rotation and sub logic is broken.

Re: Mycareer: How come I'm the only starter playing garbage time minutes?

Player minutes and rotation management is such a big part of the NBA, i don't understand why 2k don't recognise this. It not only affects Mycareer but also Association mode, its too important to be overlooked and not fixed.

Im enjoying playing the game but, the fatigue problem and being able to foul out in the 2nd quarter really take the buzz out of it. There are some good tips in here, but it shouldn't come down to pulling these off in order to get a semi realistic representation of the game.

I want this game to be good. Hopefully 2K is putting more focus into this and less into Justin Bieber for next years release.

Re: Mycareer: How come I'm the only starter playing garbage time minutes?

agree with above post. the difference between allstar and superstar is way too big.

on allstar my team fg % 55+ opp fg % 35 and we beat them by min of 30

on superstar its opposite my team fg % 35 opp fg % 60+ and they beat us by 25 or more.

its either too easy or too hard for me.

just an example, i was playing detroit against bynum(i play center). I force him to 20 yards out, make him pick up his dribble, smother him with no way to pass and 3 seconds left on shotclock, he takes an awkward fadeaway jumper with me draped all over him and it goes in. thats how its on superstar. every stop i get i feel like i stopped a touchdown from half yard out of goal line.

Good call, it could be a part of Andre Drummond's signature package...

...

I trust most of you do not watch a lot of Pistons basketball. Drummond wears himself to exhaustion sometimes and calls for a sub while struggling down the court. So that's... why I said that.

I'll just show myself out.

Dude coulda been 2nd overall if he tired himself out like that in college. Him, Monroe, and Knight have some big things comin. Also he could have what McGee has(the asthma thingy.)
