I just picked this up. Do they not have the legends challenges like the previous versions or am I missing it on the menus? No biggie either way, but I kind of like to get used to controls playing those.

not sure but I know the PC version is missing some things. Still an awesome game, especially since the stadium feel mod came out with the kickass crowads and HD graphics for PC. im still playing a couple games a week of this.

OK

I've been playing this for about 3 weeks now as My PLayer; I'm just aout through my 1st season.

But......I see in the swipe screens when transitioning between loads that I have like 4K VC points, but when I play with my PLayer, I only have about 100 to spend.
It's taking FOREVER to play well enough to get any significant points. I'm only averaging like 4pts a game as a SF. Granted, I don't know a ton about basketball, but JFC.
Is there a way to practice and earn VC? I read somewhere that VC is for online, and SP is for offline....

Any suggestions? I rarely get passed the ball; and when I do and take an open shot from mid-range, I miss and get dinged on my teammate grade. Overall the My Player is getting increasingly frustrating - so I'm sure I'm not doing something right in terms of getting better etc.

And doing the drills etc, only net me about 30SP a pop. I'm not looking to dominate by any means, but shit....2-4pts a game is a bit unrealistic I would think. I'm a starter too lol.

Dayze you might want to just try setting some screens and cutting to the basket/3 pt line off of that screen. Every screen you set will boost your grade, and usually there are some easy buckets to be had if you pick/roll/fade of the screen correctly. Also, if you want the ball on offense after an opposing basket, try calling an entry pass play. Your teammates should run down the floor and you can just hang out for the inbound pass.

Finally, play some blacktop online for some easy cash. 150/game and the games are quick with no timeouts and such. Win or lose, doesn't matter 150 bucks. Your online cash should transfer to my player. This way, you can build your player without any real "time" passing.

Let me know if you need more pointers. Hope this helps.

My ps account is ShadowMouse007 if you want to ball sometime. We can chat during a game or somethin for some tips.

Is 13 better than last years?

I had 2K11 but not last years; I think it's pretty good.
though, I've only really messed around with the My Player mode.

Press conferences are the same, or so it seems. There are some new modes too.

I must be doing something incredibly wrong in terms of settings/sliders or something. I suck bad lol. at this rate it would take me 5 seaons to be any decent.

There has to be another way to earn VC or SP. I think VC in online (from what I can gather), and SP is offline. So, I 'might' do another My Player online; but don't want to play with other people if possible.

Box out and set screens. Don't go for rebounds. Get those points up

Thanks guys.

The points it shows on the loading screens is total points earned over your career.

Still in my rookie season but getting close to playoff time.. leading the league in PPG and stealsPG. I flat dominate scoringwise, and tend to run up the score into the 140s on a good night. Still manage to lose a game every once in a while though.. thinking im running 31-11 right now, with about 8 of those losses coming in my first 12 or so games, when i was figuring out how in the hell to play.

Jesus! Lol. I seriously need to bump up my shooting attributes. My guy sucks. I might even start over and pay more attention. Last time I tries to spread out my initial coins over all the attributes. Probably should focus on two or three initially.


I seriously can't ****ing shoot worth a shit. Lol

Most of it is yourself. Most of whether your shot goes in or not depends on where the defenders are in relation to your shot, and when you let go of the button. I did an athletic point guard, so had quite a bit of shooting to start with.. I'm in the 80's in close and mid, with 70 3 pointers. Even with 70 3, i ha da game where I kept fast breaking away and getting 3 pointers, 8 in a row, and ended up 11/13, all Because no defender was near enough and I released at the correct point.

playing historic teams is fun. I'm finally getting the hang of playing the inside out game with the 93-94 Rockets. I beat the 92-93 Hornets 83 to 80 (7 minute quarters) Hakeem ended up with 22 points 8 bounders 5 assists 3 blocks 2 steals. I ended up with 6 players that had at least one 3 pointer. Kenny smith had 10 points and 9 assists.

To me, that is a lot easier than doing triple threat + isomotion + step back + leaner

is there a way that i can create a 94-95 Rockets team and still keep the 93-94 rockets roster as it is and keep the 91-92 Blazers team as is?

good point. I was definitely noticing that last night.

what I did last night, was play quite a few rounds of black top. Most of the games I was able to get abotu 150 in VC per game; and I completed all my drills that I could, getting probably another 200-ish. at that point I went into my game and tried my but off for a good performance. I managed a B, and because it was a key matchup, I got double VC

From there, I upped my attributes. Long story short, I was able to finally get my mid-range up to about 80 and my short to about 78. I'm working on getting VC to help with my shot in traffic and post moves.

But there was DEFINITELY a differnce once I bumped those up. One game I had 16 ponits.............so I was jazzed considering up to that point I was getting like 2 lol

I turned on the shot monitor thingy to see if I'm releasing early/late; and also turned on the play display thing where the play shows up and tells you where to go 0....rather than running around like an idiot lol.

I'm looking forward to getting some more VC for my attributes. The game isn't nearly as frustring when you're able to make a few shots. lol

I have a pretty high shot in traffic and shoot off dribble as well, definitely bumped me up. I also use Posterizer and the trait that lets you finish contact dunks and layups.

As for the shot monitor that really helped me, and the play shown thing I have no idea and haven't used, I just run down and try to get open.

Me 3!
