#NBA 2K14 MY CAREER GUIDE HOW TO#
Your grade goes up significantly if you pass the ball and collect rebounds, the very worst thing that can happen is letting the guy you're covering receive the ball and then letting him attempt to shoot, i still don't know how to really stop someone from doing that, at any point they seem to be able to just stick their arm out and catch any pass ever, i intercepted a pass once by hitting X (360 controller) but i'm not sure that's even what did it because it hasn't worked since. Which will help you play the game better. Also from what you said above it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics of the sport more. It will start to make you lose points if you call for it too much. I'll keep going till i eventually get fired, my last two games ended with D grades so it won't be long, i am on rookie difficulty.Įdit: My position is PF, i assume that means tall guy in the middle.Īs a PF don't call for the ball so much. I know i'm not hogging the ball, i'm barely getting the ball, the Kings ai seems to do a lot of standing still doing nothing, i find space for a pass but they don't take me up on it even if i call for one, having a human in the team seems to break them giving the opposing computer team an advantage :P. This is my first NBA game and i've never watched basketball so i've got that against me, but i feel like i've got the controls and mechanics down pretty well, just knowing where the game wants me to be seems to be the issue.
It took me a bit to get used to the new shot meter. Look to run your defender into a teammate so he creates a pick.Īs for shooting, practice practice practice. Look for space on the floor that is open. Don't try and occupy the same area as a teammate unless setting a pick. Meaning don't run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Making sure you are in good position all the time will constantly give you the good spacing points. All giving you points.Īlso remember to not be a ball hog. This can lead to points for forcing the pickup and cause them to make bad passes your teammates can pick off, which can lead to fast breaks. And use the left trigger to make contact. And for defense, don't use the turbo button or you will over shoot your mark and they will blow by you. Also set screens on the wing for pick and pops. Post moves give extra points for using them. Also make sure you position for rebounds if you know a teammate is about to shoot. If you are a big man, always be looking to set a good screen.
Depending on your position there are things you can do.
