Ty Lawson suffered an injury that put him out for the entire season, and I suddenly found myself starting at point guard. ThatвЂ™s when things took an interesting turn. Finally, I found myself in the starting lineup alongside Lawson, with Iggy at small forward. Nevertheless, I made the most of my minutes off the bench, honing my stick skills in player locked gameplay, and establishing myself as a decent sixth man. I found myself on a team that included Ty Lawson, Andre Miller, and Andre Iguodala, so it was going to be difficult to find playing time as a guard. IвЂ™d created a 6вЂ™4вЂі shooting guard, slightly boosting my real height of 6вЂ™3вЂі and choosing a more appropriate position than centre, which IвЂ™d played in the local junior league. I tried out the newly rebranded MењњAREER mode ahead of writing my NBA 2K13 review, and ended up sticking with it.ДЄfter a so-so performance in the Rookie Showcase game, the Denver Nuggets drafted me 20th overall. Come NBA 2K13, right stick dribbling controls were introduced, and suddenly the game felt a lot better to me. Combined with the low starting ratings, I had trouble putting up numbers and earning more minutes, which led me to abandon the mode. Although I ultimately didnвЂ™t get very far, for the first time I did find myself thinking вЂњHey, this is actually pretty fun!вЂќ At the time however, I was still grappling with Isomotion controls. I did give the career modes a look though, and ended up playing a few games of My Player in NBA 2K12. I could understand the appeal, but still, franchise modes were of more interest to me. A lot of basketball gamers were keen to see a fully fledged single player career mode though, and when My Player debuted in NBA 2K10, it was a big step forward for the game. Meanwhile, NBA 2K was doing some great things with Association mode, and when I finally got into the 2K series, I enjoyed checking all that out. I remember being blown away by Franchise Mode in NBA Live 2000, and it remained my mode of choice through its rebranding into Dynasty Mode in NBA Live 2004. Join me as I take a look backвЂ¦way backвЂ¦ДЄs IвЂ™ve said many times in the past, IвЂ™d traditionally describe myself as a franchise gamer. It was the first time that I played MењњAREER almost exclusively, so NBA 2K13 stands as the game that really got me hooked on the mode, while developing a genuine interest in the single player career experience. An enjoyably successful rookie season with some interesting twists and turns set the bar high for future games, and indeed, it hasnвЂ™t been until this past year with NBA 2K17 that IвЂ™ve had a similarly great experience with MењњAREER. IвЂ™ve previously compiled a list of some of my favourite experiences, one of them being my MењњAREER game in NBA 2K13 PC, in which I played for the Denver Nuggets. There are two main reasons that I remain a fan of the genre: IвЂ™m passionate about the sport, and IвЂ™ve had so many fun experiences with both sim and arcade basketball games over the years. IвЂ™ve been playing basketball video games for more than two decades now. This week, IвЂ™m taking a look back at my memorable MењњAREER game in NBA 2K13. YouвЂ™ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. You can also move the ball by bringing up your plays by hitting 'Right' on the d-pad and choosing the 'Run Best Play' option and following the directions until you get an open shot.This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. This should cause a player to get open for a shot. By moving the ball throughout the floor, defenders will get confused and jumbled together. This can add slight separation between the ball handler and defender without going into an extended animation. Quickly flicking the right stick in any direction will cause the ball handler to do dribble move and return to his standing position. Keep in mind that the player needs to be open for this to work. If the palyer is open, pass the ball and perform a layup or dunk. THe player who passed the ball will then rush to the basket with the pass button (A,X) above their head. Pass to a teammate by hitting the pass and shoot button simultaneously (A+B, X+Circle). To do this, give the ball to an athletic player like the Point Guard or Shooting Guard. The Give and Go.В The give and go is where a player passes the ball to a teammate, then rushes to the basket, looking for a pass to score.
