In my experience it is part luck, part team needs and part draft/contract.

I've asked to go to Lakers and have been traded to everyone but the Lakers before... and with the same guy asked to be traded to the Heat and sent to the Lakers instead...

So I started really experimenting .. getting drafted really low (as in OKC's pick or the Celtic's) and all a sudden, I get successfully traded to the Lakers when I asked with no issues.

Trying to go to the Cavs or Magic is harder then it seems, because of the team needs and contract parts... with both of these teams, I'd suggest it is easier to manipulate getting drafted by them then engineering a trade.

With all that said, this is what I would do.

1: Play 4 games and make a back up save file. ( You have to do this prior to asking for a trade or the decision on where you are going is made already).

2: Save all of your VC/SP and drills. Do not improve your player... and if he has above 10 minutes, make the coach take minutes away from you.

3: It might be placebo, but I have gotten better results from asking to be traded, not demanding. It does not matter which slot you pick your desired team, but only pick the team you want.

4: Make sure you match up with the lower end of the bench of your desired team, minutes and skill-wise.

5: Play the 5th game and then go talk to the GM.

If it does not succeed, reload save and try again.

I tried 5-6 Rookie Showcase as a center to see what it's like and I really enjoyed it.
But I think I will rage big time on rebounding.
57% of the time, you don't have it (Beal, Lillard or Marshall took everything on my head) and 38%, your guy just tap on the ball and don't have the rebound.
Really frustrating

Turns out coaches selected me as a West All-Star reserve! Thats nice
I managed to score 8p, 2assists, 2rebs in 8 mins, not bad. We blew out the east 118-88 and I liked that commentators said it was the 3rd straight win for the west. I hope they add more commentary thingies like that in the future.

Thanks for the response! I'll definitely give this a shot. How do you create a backup save when the game saves automatically each time?

I played most of my second season with Bruiser 3 on and i figured I should turn it off for season three because I had forgotten what HOF felt like...

My god, I forgot about all the cheese.

I think I might have to get Lockdown Defender because Eraser feels worthles.

Should I also replace Def. Anchor because that doesnt feel like it's having an impact at all?

Im definitely leaving the Hornets when this contract is up even though I got CP3 back on the team.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Well, I just tried your backup save method Taer, but it doesn't work for me...I created a backup save file after my 5th game and prior to asking for a trade on a flash drive, then loaded up my file on my 360 and went and asked for a trade to the Cavs (who were the only team I listed), selected play next key game, and I was traded to the Thunder. So I then pressed my 360 button to return to the dashboard, loaded up 2k13, and loaded up my backup save file from my flash drive...only to find out it somehow has saved with me on the Thunder. It must be because the My Career file saves on the 2k server, making the backup save worthless?

Either way...this is getting pretty frustrating.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Started a a 3pt SG last night. Tried something new for me and totally tanked the Rookie Showcase. Worked my way down to an F grade and then proceeded to foul out in the 3rd quarter. Kinda ironic that when trying to get a reach-in foul, I actually got a successful steal.

Got interviews with Memphis, OKC (Oh hell no!) and Miami. Gave a so-so answer fro MEM, gave a Screw You answer for OKC and said that I would love to sit on the bench behind Wade & Allen.

I wanted to see what the GM would do with having two superstars at SG in front of me. Almost thinking that I would get traded once I got high enough, not sure.

Started the season at the #7 slot behind Allen. After five games moved up into the 6th man spot and got my Nike endorsement.

Second game of the year, came in the game against NY and we had fell down by 12 or so in the second quarter. Got the dynamic goal of bring the score back by 5 points. "Challenge Accepted" Started camping my sweet spot beyond the arc and firing off threes. Eventually won the game by 12 or so. Ended with 28 pts 3 RB, 4 assit. POTG

Nice having a strong interior with James and Bosh keeping the court spread.

Was going to sim a few games to my next key game, but looked at the schedule and my next scheduled key game isn't for another two months. Not sure I want to sim that far ahead in my first year.
