NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

[oouie433]

Figured it's about that time to start up the new mycareer thread for 2k15. I for one wasn't going to get the new game after 2k14, but 2k has done a GREAT job of upgrading (it looks like), so I can't wait.

Figured I'd kick it off. Feel free to start posting your stories, and let's have some fun this year.

I'm planning on making a 6'3 pass first pg (if they didn't change these designations). Since it looks like we can pick and choose what teams we can try to start with, I figured I'd look at going to:

Atlanta
Detroit
Lakers
Miami
Milwaukee
Minnesota
Orlando
Sacramento
Wizards

I ended 2k14 on the wiz cause that's my squad IRL so, I might tell J Wall that he has to run the 2nd unit again this year lol.

But I'm going to go to a young team that we can all build and grow together with, and hopefully they can defend cause I like to run and throw oops

I also play on HOF 12 min qtrs and I play every game so, I can't wait till Tues.

LET'S GO!

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Yeah looks like 2k15 is what 2k14 should have been... plan on making a PG my real height & weight & also a SF like 6'9" a Bird & Magic mix!?!

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Going with my usual setup of a 6'4'' scoring PG. Going to try to get signed to the Timberwolves, but you never know what will happen. Might make a bigman or SF if I ever get bored. Real excited for this game!!!

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Probably gonna go with an athletic point guard and try out for the Timberwolves and run a fast paced offense with lavine and wiggins.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Going to make a center, either 6'11" or 7 feet, Rebounding style.

Judging by the out-of-the-box rosters, the best teams to end up for such a player are the Celtics, Jazz, Knicks, Lakers, and Suns. However, I have a soft spot for the Magic and Raptors too, so if those come up, I might take them. (My Rockets have Dwight Howard, so they're almost certainly out of the question unless maybe they move me to PF...)

Just to be clear, this is for when a contract offer comes up that's for at least one full season. For a ten-day contract, I don't care what team I end up on--realistically, an undrafted player would just be grateful for the opportunity.

Speaking of going undrafted, I actually have the perfect reason my character would be passed up by every single team...

Remember the Royce White fiasco? Remember how he could have stood as a great example to live up to for people with mental disorders (he had generalized anxiety disorder), but instead he threw a big fit about things and became an utter embarrassment, playing NINE MINUTES last year for the Kings, scoring no points, yet managing to pick up two fouls? What a wasted opportunity he was.

So, taking inspiration from that, I figured that since White was such a waste of a pick, no team would dare take another chance on a player with a mental/neurological disorder again.

Thus, I intend to play my character as a man who wanted to be the first NBA player to be a diagnosed autistic.

I have Asperger's Syndrome in real life (diagnosed in 1993 at age 11), and that will be the reason he goes undrafted. No one wants to take a chance on a guy who not only has that disorder, but who also came from such a weak basketball college (the University of North Texas--I didn't go there, but basketball-reference.com says they've never produced an NBA player).

However, this time, he's going to be the GOOD example that Royce White should have been.

I'm actually thinking of putting his story in the Dynasty HQ forum. I've never written a dynasty thread before, so I should read up all I can on how to do it right before starting. I'm nervous!

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

6'11 PF/C Back to Basket, ala Tim Duncan.

Will play 5 min quarters, on Superstar Sim difficulty. League is also simmed in 5 min. quarters.

I'm gonna try Beluba cam this year for MyCareer, if not I'll go with Turbo. I'll definitely remove the replays, and make the crowd noise, sound effects and player noise louder in the settings. I'll most likely keep the shot meter as well.

Hoping to get picked by the Spurs, to take Tim's place after he retires the next season. Will focus on improving low post attributes, inside/close shot and defensive iq in my first season.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Either a Scottie Pippen style SF or a KG style PF on the Raptors.

[deetoman]

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I always create a Iverson type SG, then I create myself, undersized PG!

[NxckBrxdlvy]

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

You don't get drafted bro

[NxckBrxdlvy]

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm probably gonna go with the 6'4 SG or 6'8 SF. Hoping to get to the Clippers so I can play along with a better looking Chris Paul and so Doc won't take over as my coach lol. Lockdown defender

Nice...

good luck with that bro. I might follow your exploits

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

It's hard to decide which team because dire needs for position are rare in the NBA. I want to make it seem realistic and not take a star's spot, or there is no talent around you
I need to see what are new categories for play styles.
6'4 PG-Kings. It shouldn't be hard to overtake Collison. Playing with Gay and Cousins, you have help. Rockets would be an option because no established PG. Only thing would be Harden being primary ball-Handler.
6'10 Defensive PF- Leaning towards Bucks or Hornets. Work next to either Sanders or Jefferson. Potential top 10 scorer in Parker or Pair of scorers in Stephenson and Walker. Hard Decision to make. Hornets are further along than Bucks. Great chance to be playoff team right away with more scorers. But with Bucks, chance to be a great frontcourt down the line playing alongside of Parker and Sanders. Minnesota could be a option with Love gone. But, that is a option down the line if they progress well. I would only want to go there right away if I just wanted to rack up stats
Raptors is a good option for a SF.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

I'm planning on making a 6'3 pass first pg (if they didn't change these designations). Since it looks like we can pick and choose what teams we can try to start with, I figured I'd look at going to:

Atlanta
Detroit
Lakers
Miami
Milwaukee
Minnesota
Orlando
Sacramento
Wizards

The Wizards already have John Wall so I don't get that choice, but you left out Indiana. They're probably the best team with no PG. Milwaukee and Orlando make some sense, but if free agency mirrors real life no one will want to go there. A sneaky good place to go could be Philly, but you'd have to compete with MCW, and you'd also have to trust the computer GM not to be completely incompetent, which is a pretty big leap. If the GM is any good and you show some talent then maybe a trade of MCW and a healthy Noel and Embiid could be nice, but that's expecting a lot to go well. If you want to compete, but not after someone like Wall NO would be a good place as well.

Going to make a center, either 6'11" or 7 feet, Rebounding style.

Judging by the out-of-the-box rosters, the best teams to end up for such a player are the Celtics, Jazz, Knicks, Lakers, and Suns. However, I have a soft spot for the Magic and Raptors too, so if those come up, I might take them. (My Rockets have Dwight Howard, so they're almost certainly out of the question unless maybe they move me to PF...)

Consider the Wizards and the Pelicans. Their best big men are Nene and Anthony respectively and they're both listed as PFs in the game. Also don't leave out OKC. That's probably the #1 place for a center in terms of team construction and who's in front of you. There's also Miami, but their PGs suck, and you shouldn't have to do much to overtake Varejao in Cleveland.

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

Ill be creating a 6'11 or 7' athletic, defensive center. Main focus will be blocking shots, rebounding, and DUNKING!

Re: NBA 2K15 (Next Gen.) Official MyCAREER Thread

...Wow, I'm surprised there's so much interest in that idea I posted.

Well, at the risk of sounding like a self-promoter, I made a thread in the Dynasty HQ forum asking for pointers on writing a MyCareer dynasty, so if anyone has tips, tell me there.

Mods, if linking that is against the rules, feel free to delete this post.
