It's pretty messed up to have a feature that everyone wants to enjoy come out so drainingly unfun. It's not like MyCareer is a completely new from scratch feature either. It's been around long enough where the heavy-handed dialog, and overly scripted and linear sections should've been addressed.

LOL I know about going out with the fellas already. And it was a cut scene with the agent I couldn't get out of, didn't choose to do it.

how do you play the all star game during the season? I only get options to cancel or simulate through it.

In mycareer does anyone know how to check the page that shows the charts with team chemistry and whether ur actions are having a positive effect or a negative one?

I remember it had the arrows going up and down and a section for fans and team chemistry but I cant seem to find it anywhere

I got 1st rd 7th pick to the trailblazers. Just got a starting position on the rotation. Definitely a rough start but once they gave me minutes we started winning, went from last to 6th in the west conf. Mid season.

You should try and give your new teams a chance. Once you figure out how the AI plays you can just put yourself in a position to make a difference on the court.

I just got traded back to the Bucks LOL.

LOOB stick with it build your player stock worth then wait till your contract is over to do free agency

Update: Ohhhh mah goodness....... my player told the agent he wasn't interested and he gave me a Rolex. dammit this ain't gonna end well.

Update 2: Ohhhh shucky ducky................ my agent found out and basically outed that shifty agent! This dude was trying to make me betray my homeboy for 25% in agent fees and shared time with 14 other athletes! Fuck that, homeboy is only charging me 10% and im the only client. If I'm the next big thing, promotions will find my agent no problem.

The lead time on patches (from when we're done to release) for XB1/PS4 is upwards of 2 weeks depending on first party load."

Have they detailed what's coming in this patch 3?

I feel like the normal length of a game is too long (6 minutes per quarter).
But if I change this to a shorter time the stats of my players in MyGM mode are way below the rest of the league due to lower scores.

Any fix for this? (I’ve read about changing sliders?)

What length do you guys use ?

Change the simulated quarter length in the options.

edit: I play 6 minute quarters, so I set the simulated quarter length to 6 minutes also.

Anyone figured out how to save settings? I swear that every time I play I need to go into the settings and select isomotion/shot stick. I've looked everywhere and it never saves.

One of the many problems with this game. The sound mix is so horrible for me that I have to turn the crowd down to a minimum (where 0 is apparently not an option) to have a chance at hearing everything else. I've tried all 3 audio outs on the PS4 as well as various settings on my amp. Crowd overpowers on all of them.

My settings saved at some point—maybe once I changed them in MyCareer or GM mode. It seems like every year I have trouble getting Playvision to stick (I've been PC up until this year, and it's clear from things like the same settings wonkiness that next-gen still inherits some of the stupidest warts of previous versions).

I'm still salty over the UX design of next-gen 2k. I don't get how you can put so much energy into this game and then slap on a menu system that makes it a hassle to do anything beyond quick games.

Am I the only one that hates the subtitles being really different from what the dudes are saying in MyCareer?

It's they recorded a wrong draft of the script.

So I just upgraded the HDD on my PS4, I played 2k14 on my US account which I don't have PS+ on so I backed up the save files to USB before putting the new drive in.

Just installed 2k14 again, same account, tried to copy the saves back and they're all showing as corrupt. They appear fine on my PC. what the fuck man, I was half way through my first season in career.

So what's a good, solid team for MyGM mode, other than your favorite team? I love my Lakers, but I don't want to play as them in NBA 2K AND watch them in real life, haha. Suggestions?

Anyone else's game crashing? Just loaded up mycareer and I'm at the Rising Stars challenge. Game crashes after the other team scores.

Is the rookie allstar game BS for anyone else? It's super hard to score and every shot gets blocked. I never had a problem scoring before... This is why I hate basketball games because the ball going in the hoop has nothing to do with the player. If the game wants me to miss I must.

In Mycareer? My post just above yours is about how I can't get past the first score in the game without the game crashing. Searching around it seems like I'm not the only one. Doesn't seem to be any answers either.

Why can't I select a team playbook in game? I play the 96 Bulls in my season but I can't use their playbook or the triangle offense. All teams default to the 76er playbook!

So frustrating...

They need to patch this soon.

My Career is sort of dumb. I drop 40 points in a game and the cut scenes after the game is the coach is reducing my game time because i'm under performing. It's way too scripted and it shows there isn't any room to go off 2k's script. It's a pretty disappointing mode and comes off WWE like which I can do without and it certainly doesn't help the NBA's image.


I won't even get into how VC is a huge scam. I'm so sick of this type of stuff in games now.

Newbie story:

I have never played any basketball game before but I'm seriously LOVING the MyCareer mode. The other two modes really scare me at the moment - buying packs and stuff... I don't get it.

I've gone from not doing anything right to being able to score 15-20 points a game, mostly from the post. I still go for blocks way too often and don't understand defense at all. The coach hates me and the scripted events get me in trouble every time.

Can someone gently give me a couple of hints:

- If I'm enjoying Career, are the other modes worth pushing through for a couple of hours?
- Should I be hammering the L2 + R2 as often as I seem to be? Seems I'm always boosting.
- Spending points... fucking complex, incoherent stuff but I've been slowly putting them into speed and rebounding (my dude is 7 foot).. is there a coherent strategy to all of this or is it a mess? Attribute systems are worse than any RPG I've ever seen (and I love it).
- What the hell are the symbols that appear next to me in game? Red and blue ones?
- I blocked LeBron James from a game-winning dunk and STILL got chewed out by the coach, fuck him.
- Now I know what I'm doing, should I do another preseason with another dude? I'm guessing my points are character specific, etc, and its a bit of a time investment now.
- Do people buy coins to upgrade the stats, is that what people do?

Probably been asked and answered a thousand times already, but would a non-basketball fan enjoy this? Is the game fun enough that I'll enjoy it and learn to appreciate the sport or is it more for people who are already basketball diehards?

It's enjoyable for anyone imo but you have to take into account that it will take awhile before you're good at the game, especially for somebody who doesn't know a thing about the rules/tactics etc.
