MyCareer is unplayable.

Man, I tried so hard not to dog this game publicly. I've never made a post like this about any game ever. This though, is some other ♥♥♥♥. And I'm blazed so I'm about to ramble, but feel me out. So I only play MC NBA and the rollercoaster of broken content and unfair gameplay has me flipping the f*k out. I don't touch sliders, I don't cheese. I literally play the most boring way; on superstar -realisticly playing my 2 guard position; moving without the ball, getting open when and where I can and taking high percentage shots. I don't force anything, I try and always go 20-8-8 and I love playing good defense. The shot meter breaking, the game not saving my player settings like shoes -and I'm not even referring to the recent shoe bug, before that shoes were already changing on their own. My jumpshot has changed from Derrick Rose to John Wall to my created one on its own over the last 3 games. Gameplay just took a mean dive toward the end of my first season and has worsened over the first 30 games of my second season I'm currently in. My player can't even dribble the ball against defenders, regardless of who it is. Malik Beasley who has a sub-60 defense rating is like a brick wall and no matter what play is being ran I am fighting his intense-D all over the court. Soon as I catch a pass I'm locked in instense D animation and/or getting double teamed. It could be 2 minutes into the first quarter and I don't even have a bucket yet and I'm getting doble teamed? Meanwhile my 88 ovr defense cant contain a 76 ovr player? I literally had to google Will Barton just now because he hit 3 HIGHLY contested 3 pointers in my face, I have an 80 shot block rating, he has a 74 contested 3pt rating... one shot my elbow was clipping through the ball, thats how early I jumped knowing he was going to shoot and it still splashed, all net. This game is broken. Not only does the game consistently make me miss wide open, full white bar (I didnt have a green release in either of my last 2 games), mid range jumpers when I have a 90+ open mid shot, it makes my teammates (Wizards) complete trash as well.

I have so many questions yo. Why is Gortat all of a sudden not my starter? Ian Mahinmi beat him out? How? And who is Tyler Zeller? Why when Gortat finally gets subbed in, does he get flagrant fouls immediately? Why does John Wall never pass the ball even though he has multiple team assists records? Bradley Beal goes 2-15 from 3pt range? Why does every team member immediately shoot or go iso when I pass them the ball? What is with the playcalling? I'm averaging nearly a double double yet the "adaptive" playcalling runs 0 plays for me when I'm hot or heating up and we're down by 10 in the 4th quarter. Why is "hold ball too long" popping up when my teammate gets stuck trying to screen for me on the play that the CPU called?

TLDR This game isn't fun anymore. You're ruining the gaming idustry.

hahaha I also just loaded back in to my game mid way through the 3rd quarter and my shoes are 2k shoes and not the UA Drive 4's I started the game with. If this effs my endorsement, I'm uninstalling.

lol, ol

as far as dribbling, i had the same problem but it went away at some point through leveling I'm guessing.

I also like to play MC realistically and play superstar

If you played 2k16/17 you may remember the 'intangibles' atrribute which is gone in '18... as it went up your player felt much better, better drbbling and general movement. my suspicion is that leveling your player in 2k18 also increases a hidden stat much like intangibles from lst year. but this is just a guess

as far as the Wizards go... i'm from DC and played many games at C and SF with them--- you are RIGHT John Wall is always trying to score and doesn't pass much. That and he seems to steal and dunk the other end all the damn time

unless you really love the wizards I wouild recommend a trade... check out the other rosters to see who's weak at your position and try to find a goood fit... you'll have more fun actually on a midtier team imo.

keep grinding, max your ball handling and stamina and you should have few problems... also maybe turn on auto playcalling.. you may get more scoring options for your position

Well I appreciate the advice but I'm already close to 90 OVR. I'm a Kawhi-Type build and have 98 Stam/90speed/90 quickness. My main ratings are all 80+. I'm saying the game doesn't care and is completely ignoring those ratings and making my matchup, regardless of their ratings, better than me. As well as making my AI teammates play so unrealistically bad. I'm using auto playcall. They literally run the worst plays and John Wall forces layups with 4 defenders on him. He's started the last 10 games shoot like 2-10. Everyone on the team in the last like 20 games is shooting under 40%. Yo, sometimes the auto playcalling just stops calling plays and the cpu just passes me the ball forcing me to make a play like, "here ya go buddy, do something". Which leads to me chucking up a bunch of contested shots cause they usually wait til 1 second on the shotclock to pass it to me. I'll try another team but I shouldn't have to. The AI should work as intended and the game shouldn't be ignoring stats/ratings. Literally played against a randomly generated player on the Lakers just now and hes a 76 ovr and I'm 89 ovr, he just finished the game with 25 pts 10-14 FG. He has the lowest offensive ratings in the starting lineup yet played like steph curry? Meanwhile I couldn't get him to budge with any dribble moves and every time I tried to drive I got hit with that brick wall defender animation... his on ball D is like 54 how is this at all working as intended? This game is a joke man.

This all just started happening at the beginning of my second season with the Wizards, we made finals last year and I never changed a single setting coming into this year. The game just stopped letting my team win I have to try and bring us back from 20 point deficits every game.

I feel you homey, sounds very familiar. I quit the Wizards for the same kind of reasons--

Did you know since you are 90 overall you can edit the wizards playbook? if you havent done that, try it. It's pretty extensive. you can set what kind of plays you want for the whole team and individually. maybe you can get Wall to pass more and fewer dribble spams

but he's still gonna be stealing all the time and dunking the other end, leading to unreaslistic blowouts and nothing for you to do

if you decide for a trade, maybe pelicans. you'll be the midrange guy and get lots of fastbreak opps but your rebs will decrease probably.

so thats my 2 cents, try to tweak the plabook and if that isnt doing it for you, try another team with a non-scoring PG that's weak at your position. i'm suire you'll find a situation that lets you enjoy the gameplay more

Wow, I have had this exact same problem man. Im a stretch five playing on the Bucks and made the finals in my first season. Giannis was an absolute beast dunking on everybody, team mates made open shots etc and Im now 30 games in my second season and all my team mates are terrible and I havent touched any settings. Makes me think there is just something in the game that decreases your team mates stats or something once you get past the first season.

Its the same old gameplay, nothing has really changed imo, you leave your guy open and move he scores. You wanna get good position for the d. rebound and/or boxout even the dumbest shots will fall very frequently.
Same goes for the boxout on the offensive end, doesnt matter how quick you are or if you are in front of your matchups model, they will glitch through you and box you out like a 500 lbs sumo ringer.
They check you up on every possession, limbs going through your head, Ive maybe seen like 5 clean blocks by the cpu on me, still so many non calls but you get called for phantom fouls like its D Wade against the Mavs in 06.

And of course every point guards favourite for the last 2 years, the lightning fast reflexes of the cpu, I know they said the cpu wont steal the ball as frequently as before when they re not looking at it, guess what?, every player now runs around with his head twisted like that girl from Poltergeist when you got the rock.

Im also sick of the - I have to use this Jumpshot, that animation, do this move, other stuff doesnt work so I gotta do it. No more variation, I remember times seeing every dude with the same jumpshot, behind the back and crossover in pro am. So much for individuality.

Or the grading system that ♥♥♥♥♥ you over bc your teammates will hold on to the ball, you will get defensive breakdown for basically anything or you get a reach in for a delayed steal animation.

And then theres the VC output, which is quite frankly the greediest thing Ive witnessed in 16 years of PC gaming, I think we can all agree at least on that.

Man I'm 100% with you, I play with the Cavs and Lebron can't score! Only average 9pts a game, everytime he does a layup, mid range shot, and even his dunks won't go in. My player is an 91 mid range shooter but can't hit anything. The layup meter is broken, it won't appear at all.
