re: NBA 2K13 My Player Discussion Thread

Hall of Fame is insanely broken. I understand giving the CPU a little stat boost, but it's more than that. The CPU routinely drains 3's with a hand in their face. Good defense is basically no defense. You got them to alter their shot underneath the goal? Doesn't matter. You get a foul and they make the shot anyway. You stopped their dribble move and stayed in front of them? Doesn't matter. They just launch up a midrange jumper with you right in their grill and swish it like you're not even there.

It's obviously not unbeatable, but it's insanely frustrating because good defense is not rewarded at all when playing against HoF CPU's. It's even more maddening when you run a play to perfection on the other end of the floor only to see your 99 midrange jumper rating PG miss a wide open 15 footer with A+ shot rating a perfect release. I like HoF to be challenging, but I also still want it to be realistic. Blake Griffin making shots a step in front of the 3 pt line and going 9/9 from the line is not realistic.

so last night was interesting to say the least.


I've been taking my time thru the 2014 playoffs as Pistol Pete. Sophomore Season. 1st year with the Heat.


We've swept our way thru the Eastern Conferense Playoffs all the way to the NBA Championship.

Somehow the 5th seeded Spurs made it there. They swept the #1 seed Thunder in the 2nd round. .....right, right.

What is Duncan in 2014, about 45? And how is Tony Parker still a 99 speed at that point? whatever.


Anyhow...

Game 1: Heat 111 - Spurs 88
Lebron James: 41 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals
Pistol Pete: 31 points, 14 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals
Dwayne Wade: 28 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal


Yup, DWade, LBJ, and Pistol combined for 100 of the Heats 111 points. And outscored the entire Spurs team.


it's really not even fair with that trio. the 3 of us combine to shoot over 60% for the season. 65% during the playoffs.






i do get aggrevated at times with how the AI tries to make games close or heated. We'll be up 20 going into the 2nd half and pulling away then all the sudden LBJ, Wade, and Pistol can't hit the side of a barn and we turn the ball over like crazy for a few minutes. dumb.


also, Spoelstra will call a "Clear our for P. Maravich". DWade will have the ball and will immediately throw up some shitty shot or drive to the basket with 3 defenders draped over him, arms flailing, and chunk up something off the backboard for a miss.

shite aggetates me to no end when I'm one shot away from catching fire or have scored multiple baskets in a row for us.

My next character is tanking the expo, going to a good team yall!

That's typical Wade on my game.

steve get's really wet when Pistol Pete starts lighting it up from the 3 point line.

Did you know LeBron James is the best athlete in the world? Also you can get higher off 1 leg, rather than 2.

up high and come down hard

they say that at least 3 times a game.

Doesn't your performance also impact your starting statline?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure you start out the same no matter how you perform. If there is a difference, it's not noticeable at all.

Interesting. So the 1st pick can be rated 64 from the start.
