Myplayer getting benched

[scotthedge]

Again this year? really 2k? I have a pg on the hawks. I became a starter like ten games back. Get like 25 points a game 10 assists. Just a wee bit better than devon harris. And yet again harris is starting over me again. For no reason. Why?

I feel your pain. After only 2-3 games I moved up to 6th man. The very next game the coach said I deserve a role increase, of course I'm thinking starter.
Not only was I reduce back to role player but in my place as the starter was our 3rd string SF.

That is freaking stupid man.So i had a 45 point game and went back to starting. Then the next game i am back to 6th man. Is this happening to nobody else? Is this going to keep happening every season? Help?

I'm glad my player is a "Certified Beast" and don't/didn't have that problem.... It took me a few games to become a starter though....

I'm not having the specific problem you're talking about, yet....I'm about 50 games in and the complaint I have is I'm averaging like 25 points a game as the 6th man and when I'm on fire in the fourth, it never fails that I'm taken out of close games half way through the quarter...never to return, sometimes return with a few seconds on the clock...It's ridiculous.

I play every game in myplayer. First two months, I was 6th men and started earning minutes then got promoted as a starter. But as soon as I make few mistakes... like consecutive turnovers or calling time outs to give myplayer stamina, my coach started giving me hell. He told me to start thinking about what I did in bench. Once game finished, when I check the rotations screen, my minute was deducted 4~10 minutes for some small mistakes I made even though I was MVP of the game or had a triple double game.

I'm gonna get him fired when I become a star. LOL.

Anyway, I repeated this process about 5 times. Each time it took me about 4 games to earn my spot again. In my third month, I've been making solid production so I think I'm good. You will eventually earn your spot.

That's crazy. I finish every game on the court weather we are winning/losing and it doesn't matter if its a close game or not. I don't start either btw.

Why are you guys complaining, you get to play less minutes and you still score a lot. Perfect situation, better than playing 40 mins a game.

Also, now you can win: 1. Rookie of the year award 2. 6th man award 3. MVP award etc. Right?


Is it really necessary to be a starter after 20 games? That's so unrealistic, I'm ok with this mode being a lot harder and not giving you everything after so little games.
