NBA 2K13

Definitely frustrating when you build a 12 point lead, get subbed then come back in 2 minutes later only being 2 points in front, has happened to me so many times now

I got our team up to a 14 point lead, got subbed for the last 2 minutes and we lost by 6... To the bobcats...

Ah ok that ******* sucks, has anyone progressed past their third year after getting their new contract? Not during the year I mean after it in the offseason?

I'm not that far in but if you don't extend your contract, it won't do it.

It's the contract extension that screws it up, just wait until the off-season to re-sign.

Also got my first triple-double against the Magic.

39 points
13 rebounds
10 assists
5 blocks
2 steals

Dear God did they ever make Al Harrington a Kevin Durant clone in this, he just won't miss jumpshots.

Congrats, and LeBron NEVER misses

Noticed this doing CAL as Bosh, every time you throw it to James it's a guaranteed assist, although that's probably not far from real life really...

They just updated the Thunder, Suns and Lakers courts

Would be nice if they updated it so settings saved and play running worked while they're at it.

Just did a Fantasy Draft (Serpentine) with the Bulls and had the 10th pick.

PG: Andre Miller/JJ Barea
SG: Brandon Roy/JJ Redick/Anthony Morrow
SF: Carmelo Anthony/Andrei Kirilenko/Luc Richard Mbah A Moute
PF: Taj Gibson/Channing Frye
C: Joakim Noah/Tyson Chandler

- Absolutely beast team defensively
- Dominant rebounding team
- Decent scoring

Will probably make a trade to get another scoring option.

I am in first few games of my third year if thats what you mean?

Chose the raptors in free agency lawl because they were the only team offering me a starting role on their team. Also I wanted to go to a trash team and have to put up 30 pts a night compared to playing alongside Wade and Bosh.

First game finished with Bargnani added, beat Denver who were sitting 2nd in conference, definitely a good addition it seems.

 

[mernda09]

is anyone using a scoring pg or 3pt specialist?

I was thinking of making another my player on a different account and making a flat out scoring sg, kinda like nick young. Only thing stopping me is the fact plays dont get called for you...is it hard to score? do you still get the ball passed to you often and do your team mates set screens so you can come off them and shoot?

I have a 3pt specialist SG, sitting top 3 in the league for ppg now, also broken Kobe's 3 point in a game record and the 3 pointers in a season record. It's actually fairly easy team mates still screen and if you have enough agility and ball handling you can just break the defenders ankles and drop in a 3.

edit: Just got another magazine cover to boot.

One Nick Young in the league is too many...

How much money over how many years did you get?

Accepted a horrible offer from the Raptors, 524 over 3 years which is only 24 more VC a year (this is the highest they would go)... I guess this is because I have been playing key games only, after I get more VC and my contract is up surely I will demand alot more VC.

On this i really wish they put in brackets what would be the $ equivalent, something really disappointing about not being able to know you're earning up there with Lebron.

Agreed, it was great last year because they had the actual $ amount, stupid VC crap

No shit, was up by 14 on the Nuggets, top scorer, 4 rebounds, 4 assists. Got the goal don't commit a turnover for the rest of the quarter and fudged a pass which got intercepted. I not only got benched from halfway through the third till the end of the game causing us to blow the 14 point lead and lose but got kicked back to 6th man. All of this happened just after getting NBA rookie and player of the month...

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Lol, so many times have I gone full games without committing a turnover to throwing a stupid pass with under a minute to go to get it picked off

Yeah that and the one before the goal popped up were my only 2 for the game, lin had 8

So just lost to the Bobcats, all my minutes went to Delfino who got 10 minutes more than I did to only sink 6 points as starting SG with a 40% accuracy, while i sank 21 with 75% accuracy. Shot us back into it, got subbed, we lost. Seriously considering trying to get this coach fired.

Seriously if a coach did this in real life he would've got the ass, he bumped me back, meanwhile Player of the Month, just got the NBA commercial, another billboard and won a poll to also be on the cover of another magazine. All the while I'm still kicked to the bench.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Go the GM and complain, demand the coach gets fired lol

Just tried this, whinged about the minutes, got told I've been putting up very good numbers and the stats back me up, laid it on the coach with the "it just doesn't make sense" option, then complained about the job the coach is doing. BAM back to starter, Delfino is kicked back to #7 and I'm back to 30 minutes.

Had no idea that feature worked so well

 

[The_Answer3]

**** Vasquez. Why you get minutes?
