Is your MyCareer team missing every shot too?

im playing for the suns and we started 10-1 on the season with booker hitting 20+ points per game. i was finishing close games with a great amount of competition edging those games out byt like 110-108 98-90 121-120 etc... but now im 10-6 and my team is getting absolutly steam rolled by the nets and lakers of all teams too. we are losing games 80-120 as im typing im losing to the rockets 107-76 and james harden has 56 points with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.. i understand the rockets are a powerhouse but there is no competition from any team. they are hitting fadeaway 3's contested jumpers, double teams, ally oops all game every game now and i have devin booker going 1-11 or 1-14 in games missing wide open 2' 3's and layups. i was doing twice as good as a bench player then im doing now as a starter. i cant hit any shots but as a bench player i was on fire and started for the suns after 4 games.

Now you are playing mostly against starters and not the bench players. I was somewhat frustrated too after first blowour loses to Rockets and Warriors wtih my Lakers. But you should do better if there is more ball movement, more pick and rolls, close defense and do not rush anywhere except you are alone after stealing the ball. I am playing close games sometimes, sometimes these are easy wins but no random blowouts. Harden is still very hard to stop though)) But it is more fun like this.

is there a point where i ghet to run the defense? no matter what they are play off ball defense and not smothering shooters... harden finished with 14 3's trever ariza with 5 3's and CP3 with 4 3's. my team never switches defense or plays closer its all super off ball defense and they get torched and ran over all game by anyone.

You can run the defense to an extent.

Left on the D-Pad will bring up options, you can choose between man to man and zone defense, and other more advanced stuff, havent experimented with it much.

It's happened in previous titles. Not sure why they still haven't fixed this.

Also, playing for the sun's is sort of your problem. There's a reason they are one of tfhe worst teams in the league hands down, they just aren't good.

my team(warriors) steam rolls every team unless i get subbed out(out of stam or fouled out)
current record is 116W-6L, i wouldnt even have that 6 loss if i got to played in those games instead of being on the bench being a rookie

I disagree about the Suns, they aren't that bad. I'm playing on them in my career and we're competitive in each game now that I'm a starter. I play as a shot creating, slashing SG, and as a starter they put me at SF. Most possessions I drive to the basket, get the defense to collapse on me, and then I kick it out to one of my open teammates for an easy basket. If the defense decides to play me 1-on-1, then it's usually an easy layup or trip to the foul line. The key is to constantly move the ball around. When the ball isn't in my hands as much, I've noticed that the offense for my team basically stalls. I play on Superstar difficulty btw.

Oh man, the Rockets are a pain in MyCareer. Even the Warriors give me less trouble.

D.Book, hits a ton of contested 3's and 2's and can finish at the rim contested as well. Why they haven't updated some of the players in the league yets to be seen. I just got the game anyway. Considering how well Booker has been shooting all season long, I prefer live updates. This should be in the next game.

I'm 71-5 in my first season as a PG on the Bulls. Most games are a struggle, and 2K does everthing it can to remind me of how bad the Bulls are...lol. I enjoy the challenge of playing on crappy teams, but damn...sometimes I have to take a break for fear of breaking my controller. I wish we'd get the "on the court coach badge" much sooner as that makes MyCareer 100x more playable. Passing to a wide open man who stands there and waits until he's defended then takes a step back fadeaway makes me want to uninstall the game everytime it happens...which is a lot.

Or being the best player on the team, wide open, and the AI refuses to pass you the ball...man..If I ever need help becoming enraged I'll just think back to playing 2K18.
