Red Mc Nba 2k14 Crack 143
Vaniria Setser
So I know a lot of you fans out there are playing the Pistons in NBA 2k14. This year, the team is far more viable than before, and we have a lot of scoring options. But winning, especially in online, is still a challenge for me with this team. There are no guides for playing the Pistons out there, but I thought I might be able to get some feedback from the community. So the idea is, everyone put in your lineups and offensive gameplay and lets share and come up with good schemes to make this team a winner online ;)
Red Mc Nba 2k14 Crack 143
I'll start with myself:
1. Most important thing I do is get Josh Smith out of the starting lineup. I noticed if I have all three playing together from the beginning I usually end up with a really tough time balancing minutes, and will have runs with neither of the big 3 on the floor. That means 0 rebounds, and little production.
2. Picks: Picks are a big part of the Piston's repertoire in real life and almost as much in my game. The only problem is that usually the game will have both bigs down at the post. When you do a pick with one, the other is still there along with a defending big. This makes it very tricky and less effective than it otherwise should have been. Drummond and Monroe also don't have enough strength to finish over defenders. another difficulty in game.
3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: KCP, despite having a relatively low ranking is a very good player in 2k14. His shot is great so long as you run plays for him. Floppy is a staple of the Detroit offense. I have him running down at the baseline and coming up to the three point line. Good for at least 3-4 three pointers a game.
4. Inside outside: If you get Monroe going, his passing ability is really helpful to get outside shooters involved. Pass down to the block. Wait for a double team or an open perimeter shooter and pass to them. They will get a bonus accuracy because of Monroe's special ability (passing from the post)
1. In real life, the pistons channel most of their offense through Greg Monroe, usually from the high post where he can either drive to the basket, or pass to open cutters. Unfortunately, in 2k14, the playbook has him at the low post most of the time and he isn't a good post player in game which means we have to rely on a lot of garbage points for him. While garbage points are a big part of his production, his passing ability and driving are limited if he has to stick down low.
2. The Pistons playbook: A lot of the plays in there just aren't good for this Pistons team. There aren't many pick and rolls in the playbook. Horns I think will be a big thing this year and is a play I would love with this team as it opens up a lot of possibilities and it opens up space for Drummond or Monroe or Smith to get down low, but barely features in the playbook.
3. Stats: A few of the stats really limit production. Post play is really underrated for monroe. Strength is horrible for our big three which means finishing over others is difficult (Josh Smith, Drummond, and Monroe strength in the 60s less than Bynum? Come on!). Drummond needs to have better dunking and finishing, because he is really one of the better posterizers finishers in the NBA, and this just doesn't translate at all into the game. In exchange, they can tone down on Smith's shooting for example which I feel is a bit overrated in game.

NBA 2k14 is set to be released on October 1st, and player ratings are starting to leak out. The game has long been one of the most fun sports games to play on the market, and though there are no new features that stick out too much in this iteration, NBA 2k14 comes with much fanfare after some stellar reception across the web.
Looking down the list, the first two names make a lot of sense and seem to have a pair of fair ratings. Then it gets a little murkier. That's right, Aaron Brooks, the player cut by the Kings late last season, who is barely the third best point guard on the roster, rates out as the third best player on the entire roster at 77. At 77, Brooks has a higher rating than the entire Orlando Magic roster.
This habit of overvaluing veterans is one seen all throughout the game. Stephen Jackson, the same player that shot 37% from the floor with an abominable PER of 8.09 last year, rates out as a 78. Yes, a player cut by the Spurs late last year has a higher rating than Chandler Parsons, Jeremy Lin, and Omer Asik. Gotcha.
But getting back to the Rockets, the ratings get simply wonky as you keep going down the list. Lin, Parsons, and Beverley seem fairly reasonably rated where they are, but then Marcus Camby appears above Omer Asik. What is this, 2006? Omer Asik was one of the league's top centers on defense and on the boards, and Camby battled injuries as a 39 year old and made just 17 shots all year. Yes, he used to be a tremendous player in a similar role to Asik, but the Rockets aren't expecting much from Camby and neither should 2k14.
Finally, getting to the young guns at the bottom, it all seems like a bit of a crapshoot. Donatas Motiejunas could easily justify his 58 rating with a disappointing season, but I also think there's a fairly solid chance he or Terrence Jones will be playing decently well in a starting role in a couple of months. Their ratings seem a bit low, and Isaiah Canaan, a second round pick, seems to be a bit high with a lot of questions about his ability to run an NBA offense.
At the end of the day, we're talking about ratings on a fictional video game and it's not worth getting too mad over. Still, it seems like the 2K guys could at least look at some tape before they assign the ratings. I'm not so sure they'd reach the same conclusions with a second look.
Any number of fantasies about the future danced in my head back in the weeks leading up to the October 1st , 2013 release of NBA 2k14. I geared up for another year of playing a distasteful amount of virtual basketball in the well-worn confines of 2k's Association and My Player modes. But, while combing through all the previews surrounding the game I stumbled upon a new feature called, "LeBron: Path to Greatness".
Most sports fans like myself are suckers for speculation. The 24 hour media cycle demands that we daydream about these roster transactions and speculate on how all of the pieces will fit together. This sort of tea leaf divining has driven a huge part of the sports blog cottage industry that we all hastily consume every day. So, of course I was in on this mode from the word go.
This LeBron specific mode focused on two branching paths: 1. Stay with the Miami Heat and create a new dynasty. (Harrumph!) Or 2. Help LeBron travel the NBA landscape on a "Fantastic Journey" and face some ridiculous challenges that only basketball junkies like myself would entertain. Needless to say, the A button nearly broke in trying to see what was up with option 2.
About an hour in, I was thrust into an Eastern Conference Championship game against an unretired Allen Iverson and his Philadelphia 76ers. My nostalgia reliably overflowed but something was still missing. The Cleveland Cavaliers were still despondent in real life and no video game "What If?" scenarios were going to change that.
About a year later all that changed with James' letter and ensuing return. That Friday afternoon when I woke up from my nap to check my cell phone, which might has well been levitating because of all the vibration, felt like one of the scenarios from the game.
This postseason has been an emotional roller coaster that I have never seen before in my short time here in Cleveland when compared with family and friends who were born and raised here. We had Kevin Love get his arm broken, J.R. Smith get suspended, Derrick Rose punch the city in the gut, LeBron roundhouse Chicago's dreams the next game, Delly emerge and then bury the Bulls, Kyrie get hurt, More Delly dust-ups and The Cavs dismantle the Hawks in the last month.
I still cannot believe the Cavs are in the Finals. But, we are here now. The whole city sees we have a chance to win the title I've heard whispered of in hushed tones since the moment my mother moved back to Cleveland in the summer of 2004.
In year two of this grand experiment, the game has LeBron square off with the Golden State Warriors in a year where the media is fixated on his declining athleticism. You complete this challenge to show the doubters that greatness doesn't have an expiration date and even without the same firepower of past years, James can still get it done.
Who would have thought almost two years later that the Cavaliers would be staring down a similar obstacle in real life? Most experts have them taking 2 games at most in this series. I believe that just like in the game that LeBron's fantastic journey this year will have a happy ending.
