Oh sweet, in myGM Ray Allen told me in person he's retiring and I had an option to get him back for one more year in exchange for promising him the Head Coach position (which costs me 1200 VC for some reason). Screw that since Ray Allen would be a super spergy HC, but that's an awesome feature.

Do you mean the menu in MyCareer between games? Changing stuff during games never saves for me but it looks like changing them in the menu between games works so far.

Nah, I've tried doing it in the title screen's main menu, tried doing it mid game in My Player, tried doing it mid game in My Player then saving the match and reentering it, nothing is making it stick.

My favorite part is how the audio sliders in the in-between-games options menu in myCareer inexplicably don't include the commentator volume slider. Like, how does that even happen? :psyduck:

Illegal screens are this year's kicked ball violations (i.e. I see at LEAST 1-2 per game). 1000x less annoying than a kick violation though. But seriously it's like all bigs in the NBA 2K world graduated from the Kevin Garnett school of screen-setting except they actually get called for it
This is the thing I'm most upset about because I created a guy in line with my own real-life playing style (a 6'11" 299lbs PF who I'm gonna get a ton of points in passing and defense for) and now I can't set dirty as gently caress screens constantly and it's really detracting from my immersion

You just gotta get set before you screen, no sprinting into someone and smashing the screen button, although the new animations own a lot. I accidentally straight up crushed someone with a forearm smash when I was too eager with a screen earlier.

Yeah the annoying part is when you get the long animation/cutscene where your guy is waiting for the play to end to go in, so you waste like 20 seconds watching the computer run a play, a timeout animation, a subbing in animation, then the actual 5 second play, then the end of quarter animation, then the start of quarter animation, then the "you're benched again" animation, and then you press A and might actually get to play.

It's something that's not a big deal, but gets increasingly annoying the more you play and the 10th, 15th, 20th, etc. time that you have to sit through it.

Is there no way to change the quarter length of simulated games (games between other teams) in the my career mode?

It's kind of hard to put up numbers similar to the other rookies when their playing 12 minute quarters and I'm only playing 6 minute quarters.

I realise there is the '36 minute filter' for the stats, but that just makes it so I'm way ahead of every rookie except for like 2 who must have only played 1 game but scored 50 points in it.


Just bumping this in the hopes of an answer either way.

It took me 14 games to become a starter with orlando as a point gaurd. I think at the time i was 65 overall. Now im 69 or 70 overall and routinely putting up ~20 points a game. I'm barely managing more than 4 or 5 assists tho as it doesnt seem anyone else on the team can score all that well (at full time with 6 minute quarters the final scores are anywhere between 40 and 60 points per team).

Something else i've noticed is that I'm not the only new starter on the team. Frye has been benched (in favour of Gordon, another rookie) which is great because hes the player with the voice acting and now I don't feel like an rear end when I choose not to put up with his poo poo (plus the rear end in a top hat checked my phone while i was out of the locker room hanging out with Olidapo).

I've found it pretty easy to get 4 or 5 steals a game by swatting the ball away from the pf's and centers while their trying to post up.

You can change the in game quarter length between games. But not the sim length. I switched from 6 to 8 minutes and it seems to be a bit better. That was the quarter length in 2k14 career mode too

Yeah and everyone you play against in myTeam knows it. So you'll have Jimmer Fredette drop 45 on you on 12/14 from 3 pretty regularly since transition defense is hard as gently caress.

It was the same way in 2k13. I would always respond by playing as slow as possible, posting up and making extra passes - generally using the entire shot clock every position. You could tell the other guy would get really frustrated as they started chucking up bad shots to speed up the game. It was pretty fun.

Changing the defensive settings in the coaching menu was also essential, unfortunately. You'd have to set all your players to "defend closely" every game if you wanted them to try at all.

What's the sim length by default? If it isn't 12 minutes, can I make it that somehow if I restart?

Myplayer OWNS if you try some dumb gimmick player. I've always played to just break the game before, so this season I started a 6'11 white center who only rebounds, dunks and defends, and it's the most fun thing ever, just running around setting screens and grabbing rebounds like Hansbrough.

Now that the servers are working MyTeam is pretty fun. I've got a good lineup going of Kyrie, Monta, Giannis, Cousins, and Sanders. The only thing is its getting tough to 3 star these domination matches. I can barely break 700 in 6 min quarters. What's the best way to consistently get high scores in this? There's no way to change to longer quarters is there?

On the one hand, my player is a white 6'11" 299lbs bruiser who sets as many dirty screens as possible and measures his success by how many times he shoves people over on "box-outs", but on the other, he's well on the way to maxing out his playmaking skill and runs the offense through himself as much as possible in spite of having Ricky Rubio as his point guard. In conclusion, MyCareer is a land of contrasts

Need to pile up fast break+asst+made shot+layups. If you're confident you'll win, sag off everyone on D or trap and try to get the opponent to shoot as quickly as possible. Asst+post move gets you a bunch of points, but sometime the post move takes too long and you don't get the assist. Basically assist on every basket and run and gun.

Tried to play some MyTeam road to the playoffs matches last night, but the two people I played were just launching three balls within the first four seconds of the shot clock the whole game. Tried adjusting the AI defending to play tighter, but it didn't really change much. Defending on the ball by myself was pretty much impossible due to the lag.

It is entirely likely that I am just horrible at the game, but I got massacred both times.

I think what you're referring to is that play that was called means it should go back to the PG. If you want the play to run, pass to him. But gently caress that guy, you got this.

Wow is online play busted. The netcode is pretty lovely, and the 3pt shooting is just stupid. Went something like 11/14 from 3 with Aaron Brooks, and I had to keep bombing since my opponent was doing the same thing.

Yeah, I really want to like myTeam but I don't make enough points to replace the guys I'm losing. I'm not spending money so I guess its just lovely.

Timing. Though they need to adjust it since its far too easy to shoot right now.
