On my 2nd season in my career right now.

6'3 PG 88 overall averaging 24/12/6 on 52% with the Miami Heat on HoF difficulty.

We played like shit to start the season, and picked it up right before all star break. We were barely a .500 team by all star break but caught fire after the all star game going 24-4 to end the season.

Ended the season as a third seed with 51 wins, and currently up 3-2 against the 43 win Bucks.

I'm on a new character, 6'4 SG 89ovr on OKC. We only lost 7 games in the regular season but Westbrooks out for the play offs with a torn ACL and Durants playing day to day with a rib injury. I averaged 38ppg 7apg. On one above the default difficulty.

2k still frustrates me because it has flaws you can exploit to get a bunch of points/assists but if you up the difficulty too much it starts to feel like it makes your team mates dumber so the opponent cheeses them, not so much it makes it harder on you but just makes it's harder to win because it makes your team worse.

Also don't like the skill/height caps this year, seems you can't make a stretch 4 unless he's like 6"8 because it caps your 3pt shot at like 65-70 if you are tall.

Made a PF hes at a 90 right now.
Played on all-star mode and dropped 112 points.
Team chemistry is at 100% with over 1 mil fans.
Dumb that you have to do 5 practices just to gain an attribute upgrade slot. Even if you play 6 min qtrs it's going to take forever.

Yeah, HoF really cheeses you sometimes. But I feel like I've gotten used to it, had a couple of games where I blew the HOF CPU out by the end of my season.

Plays yore are another story though, that's when my teammates started making dumb plays and I had to take over and score 40+ for us to even have a chance. Wade was averaging 21/5/4 for me in the regular season, and now he's playing like shit averaging 5 TOs per game. :facepalm

Lol some guy in park mode has 71541 pts and is 5519 - 621. Probably has never seen the sun shine in his life....

Ok so why won't this game let me upgrade my attributes anymore? i'm currently sitting at overall 89 and a little over 3/4 full on all bars???

Need to unlock more upgrades, it says on the attribute screen how many upgrades you have available. You can do this by doing training on your off days. It's retarded, you don't need to actually do the training session just join it then quit again and it'll count but you have to sit through the loading screens.

It's really silly. the load screens ruin it. if you could just click a button like the "hang out on airballon with oladipo" off day shit then it wouldn't be so bad. Plus if you could do it while also simming games because it makes you play them to use the training.

The game hates Westbrook and Durant playing together too, in the play offs in my game Westbrook just came back from injury and suddenly we've gone from sweeping everyone to bricking everything and turning it over like crazy. Game hates him.

Gotta vent for a minute. Started an online season with a friend a couple days ago and did a fantasy draft. Playing my third game of the season I'm playing the Hawks with Dirk on the team.

We get late in the game and I'm up 1. Dirk drives baseline and goes up and under..... except he comes through the backboard and lays it up. I'm furious at this point. Surprised I didn't get a tech through the kinnect.

I end up losing by like 5 because of intentional fouls and FTs, but I'm so pissed that layup went in. There were so many other things happening during that game that was telling me I was getting 2Ked. Missing open jumpers, open layups and whatnot. Pick and rolls kill me in this game, don't understand them.

Anyways, pretty much lost a game because of a late "through the backboard shot" by Dirk that should've been out. Damn this game can royally suck at times.

Decided to give MyTeam a try this week for the first time. Already had a couple of gold players like Klay, Wiggins and Bosh from doing connections, so I figured might as well give them a shot.

I opened up a Raptors starter pack to start my journey and got Terrence Ross along with Sim Bhullar + a bunch of bronze players.

You can only use 1 silver player + bronze players for the Qualifying round and 8th seed for Road To the Playoffs so I decided to play some Domination to fill my roster with better players before challenging going online. I’ve played around 10 games for domination and have yet to pull a Gold card lol… but I did pull some decent silvers like Noel, Nick Young, Jabari Parker, etc.

At this point I had around 25K MT points to play around with, and after shopping around a bit in the Auction House, I ended up with a roster of:
Pierre Jackson/Jordan Farmar
Mike Miller/Nik Stauskas/
Terrence Ross/Hedo Turkoglu
Jerami Grant/ Steve Novak/Scrub
Justin Hamilton/Sim Bhullar/Scrub

Bronze players suck too much ass, so you want to get as many specialists as possible. Either players that are really fast and can finish in the break, or players who can shoot the 3.

I’ve spent maybe 4-5K MT (sold back really easily) filling out this roster, and I had no problems with the qualifying seed and the 8th seed.

I’m at the 7th seed right now and currently sitting at 3-0 with a roster of:
Lillard/Rubio
Klay Thompson/Alec Burkes/Gerald Green
Terrence Ross/Jabari Parker/Giannis
Chris Bosh/Cody Zeller
Gobert/Noel

Looking to get rid of Rubio and Jabari Parker (and the rest of my 2nd unit lol) to add some more shooting for my bench. I’m looking at LMA as a replacement for Bosh if I can snipe him for below 5K MT, and maybe replace Lillard with Irving if I can snipe him at around 7-8K…

Anybody plays this mode frequently and can give me some pointers at making MT? Are pack openings worth it? Or should I just.... trying to snipe players from AH and make MT from that (haven't had too much luck with this).

Does anybody jam the play online now mode? and what rank are you at right now... trying to get to hall of fame I'm 1 win away from the NBA and it's great because every game goes down to the wire don't play any cheeseballs

Anyone know if with the myteam/gm modes you can do a season with less games? I used to play the old gm mode where you could set it to a 14 game season and that way I could just play every game without needing to sim anything and still get through the season quick. Can't find an option to shorten the season on this one

I think they took it out.

I swear this game is designed to let you never see the light of day lose all your friends and become nocturnal or something.......
