Thanks for clarifying and keeping me from wasting my time any further. In the rosters menu you can switch players around however you like. So you can swap lovely players with the legends you want just make sure to save the roster and load it in when prompted

My daily VC mission is to get a triple double. At 3 quarter time I had 19 pts, 10 reb, 9 ast, with a teammate missing a semi-open shot on the buzzer that would have made it 10. The coach then sat me out the entire final quarter.  I tabbed out during a Hank & Hornet interview and when i went back in my player was stuck going full

I’ve been playing through the myCareer mode of NBA2K20 and I have to say my experience so far has been...odd. It’s my first time playing the game and this mode so maybe it’s always like this. It seems like they assume you already know how to play, since the tutorials are pretty basic. So I just dove right in, making a hideously skinny white guy who seems to have earned the nickname ‘Che’ which sucks and I can’t change it no matter what setting I adjust. Also I have some weird beef with Idris Elba that I don’t understand at all. After fumbling my way through the early part I somehow earn a place in the draft combine, which kind of sounds like a meat grinder. I play ok but completely embarrass myself in the bench press, vertical leap etc. Whatever, I’m apparently here to disrupt the system, and eventually I end up getting drafted by the Clippers, yay. Except something is wrong. Zubac seems to be on the roster, but never plays a game. Montrez gets injured in the first game, so Noah gets huge minutes, where he stands out on the wing with a pained expression on his face. And we have some random dude called Anderson Murray, who I think was on my college team, and seems to have taken the place of someone actually good, which sucks. I’m pretty much single-handedly responsible for tanking the early Clippers season. They keep giving me minutes even though I suck, and we have lost a few games by 20-30 points. I had an awkward Jewish agent, who I finally warmed up to, but then randomly I was forced to swap to a new Jewish agent, who looks very similar but seems to be even more awkward and incompetent. He keeps booking me for interviews and publicity events, but when I show up there’s already another NBA star there, so I stand in the corner asking when lunch is ready. But slowly, painfully, I’m getting the hang of it. In my last game I lead the team with 32 points. Kawhi shows me love. I get a radio interview where I show my appreciation for the coach, which gives me a bonus to team chemistry, but then when I get back to the locker room a bunch of players seemed pissed and told me to watch what I say, and I ended up apologizing to everyone. To sum up my season so far: what the gently caress? Bonus pic of my dorky rear end being signed:

Can't remember when this usually shows up, but it should be between the start of January and All-Star weekend. In MyCareer the Options/Quit Settings, you can change your Secondary Name which changes how the commentators refer to you during commentary. I also recommend turning off Camera Shake there to get rid of the annoying shaking when shooting free throws in an away arena. In Coach Settings I turn Offense/Defense Playcalling to auto as I'm too lazy to do them myself.

Seems like even with Zubac gone we have 6 centers! But with Zubac out and Montrez injured our interior defense is terrible so we're currently 15-14 haha. Another weird thing - of the 29 games I've played so far, we've only played one game in the Braves jersey, and none in the black one (which is my fav and the one I have irl) or the LA jersey. The other games it's only been the blue or white. What gives? Red Rox fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Apr 15, 2020 |

Change the tutorial to dribbling and it will show the controls of each one and let you practice. Also in games you can pause and go to settings, controls and get a list of them.

Katana_Warrior posted:eventually you'll be able to set your team's jerseys for every game, just keep grinding Ha this happened the very next game. My biggest frustration now is that every third game it drops the connection and I have to start over. Once it even cut out with 2 min left in the 4th. Luckily most of the time we’re getting beaten by 20 points so it gives me a chance to suck less.

Aw poo poo I’m actually getting the hang of this - the badges make a huge difference. I got my first double-double and Player of the Game against Oklahoma then we totally embarrassed the Lakers on Christmas Day for a second Player of the Game. Chris Paul and Rondo were my bitches. 3pt shooting is by far my highest stat but I can’t shoot for poo poo so I just take easy layups.

Of all the mycareer players I've made, the pure shooter has been the most difficult to consistently make an impact from distance. Generally what happens is I will make a few early shots and then the defender will stick to me like superglue. When this happens it's simple to make cuts to the basket for easy layups, but getting open perimeter shots can be a nightmare. It certainly doesn't help that the shooting pie gets a speed & agility penalty compared to the others. Largepotato fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Apr 17, 2020 |

Playing an older version against the CPU and got a cool team in a legends fantasy draft league but the loving CPU AI can be so cheap. They become super human at times which, OK, I expect but the main thing I hate is my team mates running out of their passing lanes into intentional turnovers. My dude is open and I go to pass it to him but he automatically decides to lead himself into a defender and gently caress up the passing lane. Doesn't matter if I'm icon passing or not. Is there a way to lead him to the ball or is it just welp, CPU is losing. Time for a steal?

The worst thing in this game is how the CPU guards you like prime Steph Curry if you are able to shoot the ball at all, just hugging your player the entire game while sapping your stamina. It is easy to score once they start doing this by cutting to the basket, but it's not really fun at all. I dropped from HoF to Superstar difficulty and the game is much more interesting now that I don't have to cheese it to win, but they still do the ball denial thing basically the entire game.

You can lead players a little bit by moving the left stick in the direction you want the receiver to move while pressing the icon pass or make them drive to the basket by holding down Y (triangle on PS4?) or holding B/O to make the CPU run to you for a handoff pass. However, I am convinced that the comeback code does exist and take over the game to force unrealistic turnovers and misses that are unavoidable.

My mycareer shooting guard is in season 2 and I noticed in the league news that the Lakers were on a 6 game losing streak. I checked their roster and the off season was not kind to them.  There's a bunch of 75 overall SF & SG. Kuzma & Millsap are the only PFs, the only 2 centers are 73 & 70 overall rookies. Anthony Davis went to the Hawks. Howard, McGee, & Cousins all went elsewhere too. Disco De Soto posted:I’m confused by the injury system. Montrez was injured in the first game and it says 4-6 weeks but he’s missed half the season.

Yeah, you can really feel it when it's happening. They say that calling time outs cuts down on that poo poo and to some extent it does. But if I'm up by 10 points or more and the CPU decides "nah, gently caress that", they just go into amphetamine mode. I tried what you said about leading the pass but I swear to god, when the CPU wants a steal, my guy will cut right into a blocked passing lane even if he was moving to an open spot where I wanted and expected him. Still, one thing I have to hand this game (and I enjoy it a lot) is how well they incorporate styles, size, body types, athleticism and matchups that really make every player and team feel real and play different from one another. I have Mutumbo on my team and that fucker can really shut down the paint. Guys with good passing ratings can really dish. lovely free throw shooters are...well..lovely free throw show shooters. Strong rebounders really crash the glass. Every player feels a little different from the next and usually in a realistic way. Certain teams don't match up well with others. Except I can't grab offensive boards and put backs to save my loving life, whether I have Moses Malone, Rodman or whoever, like the CPU can. I've figured out most everything else except put backs.

It will change to 1-2 weeks when he gets within 2 weeks of coming back, then day-by-day when it's within 7 days of recovery. The Duggler posted:However, I am convinced that the comeback code does exist and take over the game to force unrealistic turnovers and misses that are unavoidable. My favourite is when you're up by 20 and get subbed off. Then just 4 minutes later you come back on and the lead has been cut by 15+.

Strong rebounders really crash the glass. Yeah it's really fun to see all the players with their personal moves and celebrations, like seeing Kawhi pull up for his mid-range, or Jokic with his spinning fall-away. It keeps telling me to show off in the pre-game intros by doing something with the right stick but I can't figure out what it's supposed to be doing. Trez is back and he helped us with a close win over the Warriors and totally smash the Nuggets by 40-odd points. Still confused about what happened to Zubac - he shows up in our team stats (with all 0s) and can't find him in any other team list. In myCareer do you get a say on the roster/trades?

In myCareer do you get a say on the roster/trades? Although it doesn't make much sense, it's possible he was sent to the G-League. See if he has a G-league tab with stats in his profile. Influence trade/free agency is the last thing that unlocks although it seems very hit or miss. For free agency, I think you only want to target people that have no team option on their contract. From what I've read with trades, you want to match their salary to someone on your team and only target players that are unhappy in some way.

On my first career I asked the Nets GM to target Anthony Davis and Siakam over the summer and somehow they managed to bring both of those guys in without losing a single player. A lineup of Kyrie, Durant, Spicy P and AD is basically unstoppable even before you add in my 97 overall SG to fill out the roster. It actually sucked the fun right out of the game because if you play lower than Hall of Fame difficulty you win by 50, and if you do play on HoF you can't hit an open shot and your teammates play like absolute idiots. So be careful when you suggest signings in the off-season, try to keep in mind that it is possible that your superteam will actually worsen the experience.

Not sure if you can request from your own team.

It means you have 6 more points available to add to your stats in Progression > Progression. e: To expand, a newly created player only has enough upgrade points to get the player overall to 85.
