Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

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?

You unlock the 360's once you hit a 90 overall dunk. And I'm about 30-35 games into my second season and I believe there is 3 billboards. I got my second one after we won the finals.

But after that I haven't got anything else. (That's Melo, D-Wade and CP3 if you can't see it)

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

Steals are hard, I maxed out my stealing, hands are 90 and it's still hard. I avg. 1.8 a game sometimes I get lucky.

just Lit up Denver for 32 along with 5 rebounds, 9 assist and a nice 3 blocks. Only bad side of it was I got injured and missed the next game and the team lost to the Jazz Oh well at least I only miss 1 game through injury.. could have been worse

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

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?

my player runs at a 90 right now and it's fairly decent...if you have a faster speed this should be even easier for you to roam around freely...but if you can manage to deflect passes more that just occasionally...i suggest the hand attribute for catching the ball.....hustle still depends on how quick you react in real life so that you make your player chase after the ball(hopefully speed makes up for delayed reaction)

hustle helps with rebounds and hands also affect your ability to catch the ball in the event your stupid teammates chuck a hail mary pass to you...

quickness controls your cuts...i've felt faster in doing crossovers and changing direction during the dribbling course drill after i increased my quickness

i think by increasing your hustle you actually deplete your stamina less since your player is more conditioned to do it...but this one im not sure...it makes sense from a logical standpoint...i dont find myself as fatigued though

hands probably has no bearing on possession other than catching rebounds, offensive passes or passes on defense...ball security takes care of the rest...you do bring up a good point about alley-oops...i've neglected to remember that this was a part of the game since i dont do a lot of alley-oops but im sure hands significantly increase your chances of catching the ball during that play

but a game against the jazz would have been a key game! deron williams is a star guard

thanks for finally answering this question...i've seen a lot of people in the thread(especially myself) who have been wondering about this...

im playing the playoffs a bit slow since i want my skill point bonuses for key games...taking a bit of a long time....

lol i recognized dwayne wade instantly but i was like wait dont you play for the grizzlies? but it makes sense...team jordan NOT team grizzlies(even though that would just be 4/5ths of your starting lineup)

Oh damnnn I forgot that. Another star game coming up against Nash and the Suns At least theres a silver lining lol

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?

whether or not they actually patch it is a mystery to me...anyone can correct me here because im not sure but SG cant call plays or see the playart...it sort of takes the systematical fun of playcalls when you're playing at a different position other than PG but want to run an offense realistically....

just take care of that durability rating now...too much time off from injuries will lower your votes...dont want you missing the potential rookie game or all-star game at the all-star break

No Problem! And whoa I hate the Grizzles now. In my 1st Season I would say I was a SG playing PG. I didnt pass much I just wanted to score score score. But now in my 2nd season I'm trying to be a more pure PG. But oh man it's crazy how they miss so many open shoots. It's got to the point where I'll drive in the lane can have a easy dunk/layup and all there guys crash the boards and I'll pass out of it to get an assist and they miss.

If they made the open shoots when i pass it to them, I would avg. almost 20 assist. But right now it's 30.3 ppg 9.4 apg 1.8 stl

lol even so, that's would be like 10ppg more than what deron williams averages in my current season...his assists are like slightly below 10 and he's basically like a first ticket all-star....

they still havent adjusted your time to be predominantly a SG?

i would score all game long if i have to try and make a comeback victory but im content with at least a double-double per game even if i dont get that much points...im afraid of doing those kick out passes during a layup because of turnovers...i tend to make lots of mistakes when i play too fast pace of a game...but i managed to get less than 150 turnovers in the season and keep a 1.6tpg

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

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....

cool i didn't know that. the problem is that being a bit short (6'0) it's a pain in the *** to play as a SG, i have some ridiculous challenge to beat, like stopping Kobe or Wade from making more than 9 points, kinda unfair lol

there's always the possibility of just quitting the game and restarting it so that you can get a different and more feasible objective that is more conducive to you achieving it....i usually dont worry about those objectives unless it's a rivalry game since that would be 400 SP with the 2x multiplier but in normal games all i aim for is the teammate grade of an A+ since that's an automatic 900 SP....i work the objectives into my gameplan but i dont make it my actual gameplan

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I got a twisted ankle during a game against the Mavs. Despite that we were able to beat them in overtime. After that, I was planning on sitting out and healing, but I was mashing A and ended up accidentally hitting the "play through the injury" option. Second game we lost to the Cavs in overtime.

Despite me having a good game statistically (all things considered), I believed we would have won had I not of played. I'm day-to-day, and don't know when this is going to end. I checked the next game against the Grizzlies and am injured for that as well (great...). There's some time after that game (3 days I think), so hopefully I'll be healed by them.

I also hope this isn't too close to All-Star selection time and the injury keeps me off. I'm nowhere to be found on the votes list anyway.

Oh yeah! I got my magazine cover after the Cavs loss of all games.

the game just doesnt make sense...i was dead last in all-star votes for the guards in the east but i led in rookie of the year and mvp....john frickin' wall was like 4 spots above me on that all-star list ....didnt matter though...ankle injury happened in which i sat through for 5 days and missing like 2 games total(meaning no production) dropped me from the all-star list and i wasnt a participant at all in the all-star break(not even the rookie game)...i will rant about this forever

maybe since you're still playing in games you can still have enough statistical output that you get considered for the rookie game even though you're not yet on the list for the all-star votes...

do you remember what your stats were around(like a ballpark estimate) during that loss in overtime to the Cavs? sort of want to see if we can demystify what a person has to do in order to unlock endorsement(in this case the magazine cover)

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

i havent actually gotten one yet since the season ended but does anyone know if triple doubles count towards that 25 milestone if it's done during the post season?

i might be wrong but i swear it counted in 2k10 because i got that achievement near the beginning of my second season
