My Player Progression Strategy

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I hardly ever call for the ball and I get all the touches I could ever want. If you get open the computer will hit you. I've never had a problem with this.

Interesting since alot (2 out of 5 games or so) of times ill have the opposite happen. Ill get the ball every trip down in the first quarter and even if I shoot 100% (hasnt happened yet but you get the jist) regardless if I am open or not I often wont see the ball the rest of the game and rely on getting boards to get my points to hit my avg.

I am sure alot of these odd behaviors are due to me being on 5 min quarters and if / when I am able to up them alot of the oddities should go by the wayside.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Something just started to bug me. I play pg so I run the offense. I wanna try and run more plays but everytime I go to run a play I get docked points for holding the ball too long. how am I supposed to complete a play if they dont give me enough time to get to my spots and pass and run around screens. its very frustrating....Another thing is if I do get the play off say it says give it to Tyreke Evans then he gives it to someone then runs around a screen well its Evans and all he wants to do is shoot. I swear he would shoot from the parking lot if I passed him the ball there. this was more of a my player rant about running plays than anything.

Ughhh, played against my clone, and I had to control the clone. Controlling the guy who is ****ing up my stats FTL.

He adds to totals but f's up my averages. Good for total milestones, but ruins my chances to get into the all-star game.

I wonder if this patch fixes my season, if I'll get to keep all my milestone skill points my clone helped me acquire? Or maybe I'll get to get those milestones again? That would be sweet.

They said that the patch will fix the "held ball too long" thing and will help with players not running plays so hopefully these will be fixed. As of now, if you bring the ball up the court that is pretty much your time most of the time, I feel that as long as you are moving toward the hoop either bringing it up the court or driving to the hoop that time should not count. Also, any time you are working within a play, that time shouldn't count. These are times when you are actively doing something to help the team so shouldn't cause bad grades. I shouldn't be sitting on the perimeter seeing an open lane and having to pass it up because driving the open lane for an easy basket would take me over my time limit and make me bad teammate.

The clone is caused after the summer circuit if you choose to go to a different team than drafted you. If you haven't played against a clone yet go to the rookie report and look at the stats. If you are listed twice you have a clone, if not you don't.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I am kinda curious how I am having a better season then last but my overall rating on my card or rotation etc. says I am -9?? Anyone have some insight on that? It doesnt say I am injured but I cant read rumors so maybe I am hurt and its not showing up.

Not sure why you would want to take that step backwards but I would think all you would have to do is play really really horrible.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Hey guys, in the "awards races" section, I can distinguish all but one of them. What are the awards, since there isn't a title or anything?

MVP
ROTY
DPOY
6th man
[Some other one which I don't know]

The candidates for this 5th award is Sean Williams (wtf), Melo, Rondo, Etan Thomas (wtf) and LeBron.

EDIT: Wow looks like other people are on the kings too :P I chose them cos they basically have no big men, and I'm going pretty good on 5 min quarters, 2nd in the ROTY race behind Griffin, I just need to grab some more boards in my games. But for some reason we decided to trade Beno for Steven Hunter who I have never seen on the court with me once, and just then Thompson for Ryan Gomes.

The last one that you're looking for is Most Improved Player.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Ahh right. But Melo and LeBron on most improved? No way...lol

Stop just looking at their names. Look at their stats. How much did they improve from one year to the next?

The last award is most improved player. For some reason kobe and bron are overrated enough in this game that atleast one of them are always in contention for this award as they are both putting up career high numbers almost every time.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Ok now with 6 games remaining in the season, My 6'8 240 83 ovr player is in the lead for league MVP and 2nd in the dpoy. I met almost all my milestones for the season and if thing goes accordingly, after the season is over, I should receive an addition 20k before the playoffs start. So far Im averaging 24.4pts 12.9rbs, 4.2 ast, 1.5stl, 2.5blks 2TOs on 68%. 21 more rebounds till I get 7500 skill point for a 1000 rbs in a season!!

I plan on leaving the Wolves and going to the weakest team cuz he have won 40 straight games thus far and yea, sometimes winning so much aint fun
