My Player Progression Strategy

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

Wow, what level are you playing on? I still have trouble winning games sometimes with the kings who aren't that much worse than minnesota. I can win in games where I am able to take over at the end but when I can't get on a roll we really struggle.

I originally set it on Superstar but now I'm starting to wonder if it really matters at all. Reason being, I have a PG that I made the other day(went thru the draft combine and everything again) and ironically he got drafted by the wolves etc etc.. For this guy I put the difficulty on HOF with 40 to 44 shooting and more modified sliders. In his first pro game( in 12mins) he/ I had 15pts 15rbs 5ast 3stls and 1blk. In the three games Ive played with him, He averaging 12,13 and 5. HE'S A PG!!!! granted hes 6'5 but still. After realizing that I did wanna play for Min for another 82 games, I just said I'll leave after the seasons over and go 2 another team. Me and big Al is too much in the paint.... and since they traded for fernandez, they throw wayy too many alleys for him..... Or maybe


I'm just that good lol

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

As of right now, My Player mode is automatically set to Pro difficulty. I also believe, sliders are are preset for My Player at default. This, however, may change after the patch is released. The reason being,.. how could you have a leaderboard when everyone is playing at different levels of difficulty? Similar to ranked games of football or basketball; everyone must be playing on a level field in order to be judged/ranked fairly.

I dont think its a big deal either way in regards to the leaderboards considering its just an accumulation of points earned.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Yea I kinda figured it was on pro. If you go to your VIP tendencies, you will see that if says you prefer to play on Pro. I say that cuz I spent 99% of the time in my player and I thought I had set it on Superstar but it says pro in the VIP

Yes, but the way they see it more minutes and lower difficulty would equal more points. The difficulty they may be right about but with the minutes, not so much. If you play two games with 5 minute quarters or 1 with 10 you are still basically putting in the same time and getting similar minutes. The 5 actually may be advantageous as you could get through the season faster and get to end of the season milestones. The 10 may help with some milestones but others would be uneffected and some would be benifitted the other way.

Good point, I dont think Ill ever be able to get some of the milestones without longer quarters unless I can find a way to "make" the games go into overtime.

I also got my OVR above 70 (fluffed it up) and now I am no longer playing every position every game. Ill get put in at SF on occasion but its not nearly as bad as it was prior.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Yeah, I think a lot of the problems are caused by coaches trying to give so many minutes to players with such low ratings

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I just love some of the lineups this game throws out. On the second guy I started (7'3" Center 7 games in) this was the lineup

Delonte West
Anderson Verajo
Ilgauskas
Me
Shaq

.... Talk about going big... good GOD that's the most ******** thing I've ever seen.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

lol with how the bigs move around the court that is a great idea in game but obviously would be a horrible one in RL.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

How long does it take to make it to an NBA team!! God my PF has a 52 rating and is 30 games deep in the D league....just wondering how long it took most of you to make it to the NBA I'm alomst tempted to cheat and lookup some code for unlimted skill pts. ha ha hahahah HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

What you could do is take all the skill points you get for awhile and bump up your Awareness ratings. Wont help tons in the game but will make your overall raise faster. Logically if you can get your guy to be rated around 60ish more teams would be intrested in taking a look at you. I honestly dont know how the game decides though never been through the D league

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I have my own question regarding the standing dunk attritbute I have a pg but how beneficial do you think it would be to raise it higher? Would my guard be dunking like nuts. I remember in 2k9 I was ****ing with my friend one time and had a 5'7 g who had a 100 standing dunk. But in this game the standing dunk seems to work different. How high is too high do you think for a guard?

I would think it comes down to personal preference really since its a "do what you like" kinda mode. I know for my 6'4'' SG my standing dunk is 70 or so and he doesnt always dunk inside.
