MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

First off, I absolutely LOVE this mode. I'm straight-up addicted to it.

I have a power-hitting 2B with no speed and terrible range in the field.
The problem is, while making errors and running with a fridge on my back, I'm not hitting either, haha. Or I should say, I wasn't hitting.

The first 25 games in AA were rough. I started off great hitting over .600 in the first 2 games. Then reality set in.

By the 25-game mark, I was hitting under .250 with 0 bombs and only 6 RBI's.
But then it started to click. Slowly but surely I was able to build up enough points and suddenly I began hitting. A lot.

I'm now hitting .312, have 4 HR's and 32 RBI's - these numbers are all over the past 11 games.
I'm really hitting the ball with authority and even my speed has gotten slightly better.

I have no idea when I'll get called into AAA, but right now I'm having a blast in AA.
I even managed to hit a game-winning grand-slam in the top of the 9th. Too bad it wasn't at home, I would have loved to see the walk-off scene.

I might make a starting pitcher soon too.

The only thing I dislike about My Player is that I don't know if I'll ever get back to my Tigers franchise, LOL.

For 2K13 (if there is one), they really need to add in the interview process ala NBA2K12.
Maybe not have an interview after every game, and especially while in the minor's, but it'd be a nice feature to have once you've made it to the Show.

Power Hitter and second base rarely go together

I don't need an interview/press conference every game, but I think it would be cool to have the manager talk to you rather than have a 'message center' where the manager emails you..get a grade for the convo with him or something like that. I mean come on, the manager is right there in the dugout with you during the game, he's not watching the game on TV.

My starting pitcher didn't get called up in his first minor league season.. but I really didn't want to be either kept it close and he's starting spring training with the team.. the low composure kicked my butt in minor league starts going 4-6 though ERA was only about 3.46 .. figured I'd get composure and master the three pitches and be up in 2nd season before the all-star break IF this spring training vs major league hitters doesn't kick my butt

So far I'm liking having a starting pitcher in My Player for MLB 2k12.. Not so much my two batters.. a 1B and a CF/RF because you don't see enough of the actual game played.. miss batting a bit but I didn't pick a National League team

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Phil Franco update got traded to the Giants and switched to SS to give them a legit SS who can hit and play D. wears number 20 5 more games and i should be at the big leauges:wink:

I just made my first SS/2B and now have to learn to steal bases for the first time.. but I can always do the 1st/3rd deal to get my steals I need to get the promotion later.. when I am at 1st with a guy on 3rd anyway

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Can anyone tell me how hard it is to make a closer on 2k12?

I tried making one on 2k11, but it was nigh-on impossible, after 5 or 6 seasons I was the 'set-up man', but being brought in when we were 4 or 5 runs down.

Maybe I just got the technique wrong though?!

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Now I know game developers likely never actually PLAYED baseball.. but a SS/2B who's holding a runner at second.. is NOT going to turn his back and run 15 feet behind him to get in position to field .. aesthetics maybe but it's not real.

My SS won't get a callup in this season I don't think.. already have 16 throwing errors in 23 games while slowly fixing the accuracy stat.. and can't steal a base.. 0-10 so far.. not enough base running points to fix that quick enough

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Not happy.

Went with a 1B through the Nationals organization and was having a lot of fun with it. Had my overall up to a 75 at the end of the season (while playing for the Nats) go to go through the offseason, and it freezes every single time on the player progression screen. Every.single.time.

Well....that was wasted time, back to scratch now.

I have been promoted to Closer after playing one full year as Set-Up (which was my first full season in Majors). White Sox organisation.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

So I'm trying to build my SS (Nats) up to get the 10 steals to get the call-up (without moving sliders, but it seems impossible).. almost got the fielding percentage back up to 90% after the many throwing errors and dropped line drives..

I did the Leadoff and Jump drill on 'drill day'... stole 3 straight just fine.. then the pitcher decides to throw a pickoff for 7 straight.. use up all my 2nd base attempts.. 3 of the 3rd base attempts were pickoff throws instead.. the drill should allow for another chance if you're not actually picked off

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I had to change the base running slider to get my stolen bases in.. it wasn't happening otherwise.. now on the Nats roster my SS playing 2B behind Ian Desmond at SS.

Hitting .263 in 14 games.. 15 hits .. 2 double 1 triple 1 homer 8 RBI.. only 2 runs scored because Wilson Ramos hits .308 but hasn't got a hit with me on base in any game.. keeps taking called third strikes. Team was in first place when I got the call-up so I should get a playoff run .. 119 games into the season 76-43 record .. amazingly after Ramos' .308 average the best on the team is only .273.. the rest average about .230 and the 2k12 game has Laroche as a bench warming backup only getting pinch hitting duties

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Had some free time before work this afternoon.. played 5..maybe 6 games and have a 5 game hitting streak in the majors.. the problem.. my average has dipped to .237 because.. my 5 game hitting streak is 4 1/5's and a 2/5!
