Hardest position to play in My Career

[Magnus1959]

I have a Center, Small Forward and Shooting Guard. For me the SG has been the toughest. I imagine PG would be worse as I'm a terrible passer. What's yours?

Athletic PF for me, good luck rebounding with Thomas Robinson against you on the Rookie Showcase.

No post-game, easy close layups missed.

Athletic PF without stat improvements is definetaly a huge challenge.

Either PF or C. All of the off ball bumping and crazy offensive rebounds the CPU gets make it tough. Add that along with the fact that setting screens breaks plays and it becomes nigh impossible to play comfortably as a big man.

Athletic SG for me. I made a Kobe recreation and it was really tough with all the leaning layups and off ball bumping and lack of a jumper. I averaged like 2 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

I made a Kobe recreation as a scoring shooting guard and I loved it. My attributes were pretty good from the start and I found myself averaging over 20 points a game with somewhere around a 70 overall. I recommend you try again but instead of making him athletic make him scoring. And my jumper was cash, looked pretty similar to Kobe's IRL form, it was form: Bosh base: JS7

My Athletic shooting guard is harder to play but when I'm playing well it feels great and I get a lot of satisfaction. It's just harder to play consecutive games because it takes a lot of concentration to play well. He can really make some awesome moves.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

i'll say center/pf..allot of bumping animations trying to get position which gets annoying

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

C or PF are very hard. I do this that most athletic players at the start are tough as well because you can't shoot, and driving to the basket all the time only works every so often.

any pg because of the dumb passes this game makes.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

To me, PG has always been most frustrating because the amount of turn-overs generated by factors that are beyond control of the user. That is to say, there isn't total control of passes so when there's a small window to lace a one-handed bullet pass, the game instead has the PG throw a lob which is easily intercepted. Also, PGs simply don't enter the league with the inability to effectively guard their dribble and maintain control of the ball--however a newly created PG MyPlayer has the ball handling skills of a NCAA Division 2 bench-riding center.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

Playing as a C or PF is just frustrating. Setting picks breaks every play. It is especially annoying when the play calls for me to set a down screen for the SG so he can set me up with a post entry pass. Play breaks down every time. So instead of a nice open space for me to go to work in the post the SG is playin one on one.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

It's so weird to me how many of you say playing a big man is hard.

I LOVE playing a center--I've played it since 2K11. I can average 25 points and 16 rebounds with a player that's 6'11" and rated 68 or so overall (then again, I do love me some fast-paced B-ball).

Yeah, it stinks about the whole "setting picks breaks up the play" thing. That's undoubtedly a bug, and one I sure HOPE is fixed in 2K14. But I got around it real easily by just setting Run Plays to Off. At least that's an option.

To me, PG is the hardest, because I just can't seem to keep my turnovers down. I stink at passing--they seem to get intercepted WAY too often...and I'm not the only one this happens to--apparently the D is precognitive, reaching out their hand the INSTANT I press the button to pass, as opposed to having a realistic human reaction time of 0.2-0.4 seconds.

Or maybe I just have bad split-second judgment. I'm the kind of guy that plays as a running back instead of a QB in Madden because I throw so many interceptions.

Either way, I stink at playing point guard.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

I agree. I prefer center/Pf though I would rather play PG. To me, rebound and boxout CPU logic is incredibly flawed, ie, averaging 20+ RPG is soable. But I do like offensive post play. I don't even run plays, I'll set picks for who I think needs picks or I'll call for the ball and run a triangle, and let the rest develop.

Re: Hardest position to play in My Career

Probably PF, they always switch you in at center and in this game I can't rebound for the life of me. 10 rebounds on 8 minute quarters is good, but the cpu can't rebound so I basically have to get 15+ to make up for the lack of rebounding my other big provides.
