Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Okay so is everyone having a problem getting from season 1 to season 2? I dont want to have to start everything over again just so I can get this all worked out.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Okay this may sound like a dumb question. Do you get more points for playing on harder levels? I am playing on the default level right now with 9 minute quarters.

My last game my athletic point guard dominated the entire game. I played 32 minutes, getting 17 points, 20 rebounds, 16 assists and 2 blocks on 8/21 shooting. It just seemed way to easy. My team ended up winning 101-57.

Any help would be great.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

im not sure if i want to change the quarter length in my player. im already averaging 19.5 ppg with 5 minute quarters and my last couple games have been 25+ ppg. if i change it to 8 minutes or something ill probably average 35+ ppg since im second in minutes on the team. it would help my chances of getting a lot of the milestones that seem impossible though. its only my first season and im a 53 rated SG. im leading the team and all rookies in scoring and im first in the race for ROY and 6th man of the year.

I am actually thinking of changing back down to 5 min quarters to finish out my second season (10 games or so left) and then up it back to 8 minutes. Problem with NOT uping the minutes is your not getting the "appropiate" recognition since the other teams "play" on higher minutes so your numbers and your team numbers are always skewed lower and it makes building a solid team harder since they seem to get really upset with the minutes and want traded off the team so quick due to minutes.

Figured as much, ill save that for last then.

Only odd thing I am seeing is I am being told about the important decision after every game and before the patch after my 10 days I hadnt heard it at all.

I believe that the points given out for w/e your doing are the same regardles of the difficulty.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Something interesting just happened. Played the Bucks, won the game and from there I went to look at my schedule and it said I lost. It didnt record any of the points scored from MY team for the 4th quarter but going to NBA.com and scrolling over to the Bulls it says my career high 50 leads the bulls to a victory......


Not happy about taking a loss that I didnt take seeing how I have the Hawks hot on my *** for the #1 spot being 1 game behind >.<

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I am enjoying it on the 8 minute quarters wont know for sure how the numbers will really turn out until I get into season three but from right now 8 min feels pretty good.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

One game left in the regular season of my second season. Hope the insider stops telling me about making a major decision either entering the playoffs of going into season three. Still enjoying the 8 min quarters.

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

Can anyone tell me why the playart will not show up on the floor in My Player mode? I don't see where to even adjust this in My Player mode..... I was able to do it pre-patch before I restarted..... I am a PG if that matters...

[kcarr]

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

I can do it pre patch, post patch I don't know though

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

WTF just happend. I was at the all-star break with my guy and everything was cool. I played for the ****ty Kings but I was playing well and everything now all the sudden it says the Thunder signed me for 1 yr 3.41 million and im on the Thunder now ERRRRRR. I dont wanna be on the Thunder. They traded Jeff Green for Raymond Felton earlier in the year so there backcourt is me, Westbrook, Harden, Felton. THIS IS STUPID. im not really happy this happened. now I know if I can get to season 2 im going somewhere else....and I bitched in Sacramento about them having too many guards....well as soon as i "signed" with the Thunder Chucky Atkins was traded.

Edit.

So I played a game with the Thunder just to see what it would be like and its really hard to transition to a different team cause all their players play differently it was really hard. I went back to an older save file from my Kings Player and im gonna play that until the All-Star Break to see if it happens again

I think it feels good. The help D is adjusted (although in some situations I think it could be a bit more but that could be the current itteration of the Bulls) Loving the 8 minute quarters, nice to actually get drills now (had 15 after installing the patch) I still cannot read the rumors although I think that will work itself out in season 3. I know some people are abit upset about the inside game being a harder but with some good SIT and STR along with w/e inside / dunk / ally rating higher they will see that it works well and trying to drive otherwise can be futal.

Speaking of which, more foul calls which is awesome considering pre-patch they were pretty non existant regardless of who had the ball.

Only complaints I have is my team still doesnt play with a sence of urgeny when loosing late game and me sitting out late game and my team BLOWING a 20 point lead to a bottom feeder team just to keep me on the bench to bring me back in with 1 min to go down by 10 is upsetting still.

I had to go under the normal menu (not my player mode) and go to coach options and adjust it from there. Looks like they took the options out from the my player menu for w/e the reason.


***EDIT*** I still found the option under the pause menu while in game under the coaching settings and its working for me.

Did they trade you or did it do a switch on its own? Either way I know you wernt sure what you were going to do next season and while that does suck and it would piss me off all you can do is focus on playing well and improving your player.

I don't know what is going on. I can't get it to show anywhere. I did try pausing the game, but I don't even see coach settings. I got nothing, can't figure this game out.....

I just shut the game off but if you pause while in game doesnt it show coaching options I think at the bottom?


*EDIT*

While I am posting, charging calls do need to be adjusted more, still being called from the wrong reasons and a little annoyed with whoever is defending me mirroring my movements just about at a 1:1 ratio (regardless of their rating or if I have the ball or not) is not fun its annoying and really frustrating. Although I did have some fun doing circles around the court while my "shadow" mirrored me a few times.

[noobz]

Re: My Player Progression Strategy

yes, and after all that circling and finally getting to an open spot.. the CPU still won't pass me the ball


... then when my defender finally catches up, that's the time he will give me the ball. bummer.
