[PC] Some questions about MyCareer mode

[Mad-Raiiden]

Hi guys
I've got some things that I don't really understand about the MyCareer mode:
- Does the game is made to go far in the playoff in the 1st year? I'm in the Hornets and I struggeled to win in Pro all the season and I beat the Heat ass in playoff in Hall of fame (I want to finish the season fast and leave the team) and we've won the 1st game against Cleveland by more than 10pts. Cleveland isn't supposed to be the most OP team ? Hope it will change and we will lose that serie
- Why is my player so bad at shooting ? I'm 83 in jumpshots and I've got a nearly perfect timing but still shooting like my sister who never played basketball...
- The interest in transfer the same for the free agency ? And what the percentages mean (like 50% They do want you or they don't care) ?
- And last, why are people such *ssh*les ? The GM and the coach acting like I'm their slave, the journalist insulting me all the time, and Jefferson acting like a b**ch ("I'm the best, if we lose it's never my fault" or "I'm gonna look at his phone and put everything on twitter like a little child")

Thanks for your answers

1) Dunno, even the best teams have a night off.
2) Take smart, open, high percentage shots. Don't take huge volumes of bad shots, you'll get fatugued.
3) I think interest can change based on what players leave the team - if they miss a player on your position, you'll get higher interest.
4) Welcome to the real world

1) Yeah, but a full playoff series off? That's weird
2) That's what I'm doing, I only take open jumpshots cause I already have a bad percentage so I don't want to try contested ones. And layups are awful, even thought I've upgraded this a lot too, if there is a tiny contact I'll miss it...
3) I don't know, interest has come up for every team (everybody has more than 50%, except the Spurs, they don't really care) but I don't really know what that means. I'm PG and I've got Orlando at 1st with 70% then Houston at 69% but the only team that interest me are the Lakers/Knicks 62% or Bulls/Blazers at 52%. And the one who interest me the most is the Bulls (even if I have to be Shooting guard 'cause of Rose)
4) Damn, I was thinking that everybody is beautiful and happy in NBA. Come on, you win millions of dollars, you can smile at least !
Thanks man

The characterisations are a bit off-putting in MyCAREER this year. It's arguably better than everyone being bland, or over-the-top nice, but yeah, it's not exactly to my taste either.

[Mad-Raiiden]

You can not be over-the-top nice without being an asshole, there's a middle. But not in the game, excet your manager (and Stepheson, who's my non-talking best friend ) they're all like this. Even your player can't be in the middle, he's either a victim, or a dick

1) Any chance of injuries on Cavs?
2) I don't have problem with that, but I play with a lot of spin jumpers, stepbacks etc. Or open jumpers after setting up a screen (got screen outlet badge, upgrading to gold cost me 1000 VC). But I also drive to the basket sometimes, I'm 6'8" SF, so I probably can go through contact better that your PG.
3) I really don't know, my interests: Most is 58% by Hawks. Least is 27% by Thunder. And I have 36% with Heat (I want there). That's trade interest in season, I guess free agency can mix that up with players leaving teams and positions opening.
4) Tell that to those "walking technical foul" guys like Jennings or Cousins. Or CP3, he's basically constantly arguing with refs.

It depends on your luck my first my career i was with the suns we sucked and missed the playoffs, the second with the wolves we sucked again, the third with the wolves again and we made the playoffs without wiggins and pek (injuries to both) so its a toss up i hate how they dont let you try out for every team. and its almost impossible to end up on a team like the blazers cuz u need a A+ while your stats suck... we need a trainer mycareer this year is so frustrating everything from the online locked items to the way you raise attributes, even the badge system i dont like.

I changed the jumpshot setting so that its based on the players stats not on timing and i find that gives u a realistic way of hitting shots even if you have 99, ull make open shots ull miss well contested shots almost always, and about a 50/50 chance on averagely contested shots. I find that the 12-9ft jumpshot on the left or right side of the rim is the best place to shoot especially if you push the ball up really quick u can catch your defender off guard and ull have about a half second opening to get a super easy jumper that goes in 9/10 times.
Except on hall of fame hall of fame ull miss it 8/10 times -.- they added extra cheese to the hall of fame this year even wide open jumpers ull miss 5/10 times.

for interest i think anything over 35% will mean ull get an offer in FA, trade interest i think is the same as FA interest.

Layups are really awful man... And they dont call a foul often.. For the timing of the shot, change it to user timing i think? and its all good..

I think the agent in MyPlayer is even worse than the player. The guy is a jerk. In one scene I saw, the team GM "heeled" him...told him to sit back down.
