Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I'm really having trouble getting this billboard everyone has been talking about lol. I'm averaging 16.8 ppg, I've had games of 34, 35, and 40 in my last three, and still nothing from Jordan. Is it because I'm now 19 games into the season, like it's too late?

And also, how can I see my team chemistry, league-wide popularity, and local fan popularity? It's always goin up or down in interviews, but I don't know where I can view the total.

people have narrowed the billboard and other endorsements down to how you answer the interview questions (im getting mixed answers here: some say answer with arrogance, others say arrogance hurt...i was a such a goody two shoe that i answered arrogance during questions that wouldnt hurt my teammates or support from the league or fans). the other thing they have narrowed it down to is having a monstrous game...im guessing they equate the monster games to those 50+ pt milestones...although, there may be truth to it, all i can say is that i did get up to the 75pt milestone somewhat early in the season...maybe at that 20 game mark...dont really recall...

i think the endorsement will be there no matter what and that there's no deadline....if there is...that would be sort of counterproductive to it being a new feature on this year's version of the 2k series....

to access your team chemistry menu...you go to nba.com and then click team homepage or homepage(i forgot which one it was but you HAVE to click nba.com first)....im like 95% sure there's no menu to see your league wide popularity(maybe this is inconspicuously spread throughout your power rankings, your all-star votes, and etc.) fan support doesnt seem to have a special unique menu of its own(probably projected in your all-star votes and award races for rookie of the month, player of the week, and end of the year awards)

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

do you guys recommend playing it on hof? im playing all star - sim and my teammates suck.. did get my team, wolves, at the number 5 spot at the west conf standings, so am thinking of jacking it up a notch but i dont want my teammates to be dumber than they are right now...

also when i look at my player card at the middle of the game, my ratings are down.. maybe because of chemistry?

another thing that bugs me is that we're changing coach every 3 games...

also i really wish play art would be patched.. i want to play as big man...

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Why bother choosing to be a PG if the coach is going to put me at SG all the time? I'm a 6'0...

My team just went 18/62 against the Wolves. Final score 53 - 58 on 12 minutes, lol

im guessing you're not starting yet...but depending on who the current PG is(whether or not he has that 'star' player role on your team)....you wont get a lot of minutes at the PG position yourself until you take the starting role from him...assuming he's a star...he might just move over to the SG spot and still remain in the starting lineup...if this happens...you would predominantly play the PG position but you will still find times when you're at the SG as well....

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

about these specialty dunks...in the past i literally assigned a dunk to each available slot...would this be the reason why i hardly ever saw my signature dunk package at work in games because the dunks pulled off are so random and i had the additional specialty moves?

Yessir sure is.

i heard some people saying that your teammates gets significantly dumber on hall of fame while the cpu gets a bit better...if that's true...i dont think you want to give yourself a further disadvantage

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Yessir sure is.

thanks for the clarification...only adding the 360's like you did...but currently i have a 85 dunk rating and i dont think i have those 360 specialty dunks yet...but i'll increase it since skill points wont be a problem because im in a playoff series with a rivalry team

you're a bit further in the game than most people on this forum...any knowledge as to the endorsements after the shoes?

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

any tips on how to get more steals, I only have 1 in 20 games averaging 0.0 lol

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

any tips on how to get more steals, I only have 1 in 20 games averaging 0.0 lol

it was hard getting steals that early in the season since i didnt focus on my defensives stats AT ALL...but i did get at least average .06spg...

what i usually do is call for a double team for opposing big men(but you could do this for anyone basically) since they usually have like less ball security in my opinion...i would usually try to swipe the ball from the double team a few times(dont over do it in case you get flagged for a reach in foul)...

other than that i really do just run and try to intercept passes although since my player couldnt catch(low hand rating), i just tipped ball and hopefully im fast enough on the trigger to run after the ball or beat my opponent or teammate in a race for it(hustle rating, speed rating, quickness, defense awareness)

you could always try a few swipes and hope you rip the ball from your opponent when you're playing on-ball defense or when you run from behind him to try and snatch it as he brings it up court after an inbound...but these are rare with low defensive attributes

most of the the steals i got in the earlier part of the season was basically luck because i was there at the right place and the right time...during the later part of the season and now in the postseason, i can actually catch the ball rather than tip the ball...im like average 2.2 steals in the postseason and it's all from roaming around the court

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I remember in last years game as a SG i could see how the play was going to run and I'd follow the checkpoint things. This year I can't seem to get that unless I'm the PG calling the shots. Any tips?

I'm a small forward averaging almost half a steal a game, which isn't bad since I haven't touched any defensive attribute. More impressive is my two blocks a game (though the fact that I have a 99 vertical helps).

If I want to increase steals and am only looking to bump one of three stats right now (steal, hands, or hustle), what do you suggest for a guy who plays the passing lanes and can occasionally tip the ball, but then cannot seem to hold onto it (and then is subsequently found out of position)?

Also, in what other ways to hustle and hands help aside from steals? Like will hustle aside from going after loose balls make my stamina drop slower or give me more acceleration on cuts? Will hands help me with turnovers (not to the extent ball security does), or help in catching oops?
