    Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

    so i've played a few games post-patch now...but this is only my opinion and im still not sure if my recent successes with this game is due to my player being better from having accumulated skill points from a complete season 1 or from the patch but:

    my thoughts are that if they made the floor general status a major thing of importance(not just to the PG position) the game would significantly be much easier for those not too fond of the play-calling system ran by the cpu playing PG(but not too overly significant where it's just a completely a freestyle type of play)...again, this is my player mode...not association mode...you're not supposed to be calling all the shots...especially from a rookie standpoint...there should be a bit of a struggle for touches and plays run specific to your player being that they're just cracking the starting rotation as a newcomer...there are going to be people who play this game with the ego of wanting to be an immediate nba superstar but holy christ chill out...players develop into stars...stars become recognized...and that's when coaching staffs and management starts considering their input(obviously, there are going to be people who disagree with this as well)

    there also needs to be more of a variety in the type of plays called...im only getting like the same 3 plays on offense(im actually glad that i dont have to call plays on defense now and its been a dramatic help in improving my rebounding and steals since that's all i have to focus on)

    the shooting percentages of teammates are still an issue as it was pre-patch...so even with the new play-calling system it's sort of pointless if your teammates cant hit those wide open jumpers at a more consistent(i say consistent but not to the point of being automatic) rate

    i dont know what they did with the passing system but it seems like the ball is flying out of bounds more often such as when you see your teammates or opponents trying to catch an off-balance pass near the sidelines and they step over the line...it gets a bit frustrating when your teammate throws an errant pass to you and your person steps out of bound to try and bring it in(a turnover in either situation)

    rebounding, if anything, has been too easy post-patch(unrealistic but im not complaining)...i remember barely getting 4 or 5 without trying(pre-patch)...and if i did try...just 7 or so in full 12 minute quarters....now im 18 games into season 2 and im averaging a triple double(23 triple doubles in my career now) while leading the league in three categories(rebounding, assist, and steal...it used to only be neglecting one stat line for another...simple form of deferment where if i wanted rebounds...i would have had less steals since my focus was to attack the boards not the passing lane...not the case post-patch...i can do whatever i want and still get my rebounds)...my numbers in steals and assists dont really surprise me that much since im maxed out in those stats but the rebounding sticks out when im only 6'3'' and im averaging 13rpg...there's no sliders on my player mode so there's no option for adjusting for those who want a more realistic play from their game

    it's a bit bias on my part to say im in favor of the patch since the game has gotten incredibly better for me and the PG position in terms of statistical output...but hopefully, 2k can address the play-calling issues from the standpoint of other positions and improve the role of floor general...i mean...i guess they could just have the option of turning off play-calling but like i said before...this isnt association mode...you're not a coach...you're a player so buckle down and run the play(assuming they fix the faulty and repetitive play calls)

      im not creative enough to think up of names

        you should consider getting that milestone in a rivalry/key game(unless the knicks were a key game then )

I guess sg's hate the patch, but as a sf, it's great. my team sucks, though, because our starting lineup consists of no one taller than 6'9, due to injuries and a stupid trade of biedrins and a first round pick for wesley johnson. im averagin:

          20.2 pts
          8.8 rbs
          6.2 assists
          1.3 blocks
          1.7 steal
          a lot of people playing from the SF(basically anything aside the PG) hates the patch...i mean...i dont stand in the derpy blue circle any longer than a second when my PG have to play the SG/SF position(long enough so that the newly cpu controlled PG runs his play)... i play underneath the board for rebounds...

              dunks and layups should be later on after you get shooting down...

                Yea, decided to just go for it. I ended up on the knicks, so I'm pretty content. The season grind is gonna be ruff though. What stats do you suggest I build up first?

                  Also get rid of the headband LOL, jk bro.
                  i dont wear a headband...but did they get rid of that glitch where your player comes into the arena dressed in a suit and still have that headband on?

                    1. durability
                    2. medium range
                    3. consistency
                    4. shot off-dribble

                    you're playing the PG again? running the pick and roll with amar'e would be great...

                    im currently playing for the heat after deciding to leave the bulls and well... bosh is sort of soft when he sets the pick...he literally gets pushed sometimes and seems hesitant about cutting to the basket...boozer was obedient and did his job good

                      To max? Or to 80 or 90 for starters?

                        80 is a good comfortable spot...just quit the game if you get injured...might miss the all-star game if you miss too much games(not even too much...they may cheat you out if you miss like 2 games)

                        get that medium range up and put melo's shoe on if you havent unlocked the +5 shoes from medium range

                        ***important to note...john wall will be a thorn in your side come voting time for things like all-star selection and rookie of the year...so you have to watch out for that...unless you just kill him in assists and scoring...shouldnt be a problem nabbing rookie of the year....that all-star thing is tricky though...

                          Yea, I decided to go PG again. I enjoy distributing more than scoring. Yea, can't wait to pick and roll with Amare. My first player, a SG was on the heat. It was way too easy because Wade, Bron, and Bosh had constant doubles every time the rock was near them. Only a couple games in, rated 45, my player dropped 63.

                            Yeah, I think they give John Wall to much hype considering Im averaging 6 more points then him, have had multiple 40 point games, and broke the Pistons team record for Points scored with 59.

                            I guess now that I got traded back to the Magic I can get my assists up, my last game there I had 12 then in Detriot I couldn't get past 5 due to Ben Gordon playing like Shaq from 3

                                Just played my first two post patch games in My Player. Loved it. For some perspective, I'm a 82 OVR on the Thunder playing against the Lakers in the playoffs. I beat them before, but loaded up an old file by accident and decided to roll with it. First game, KD scores 45 and I get a triple double but we lose. Second game, me and KD score 27 and 28 respectively, and we blow the Lakers out, having gone up by as much as 30.

                                I don't have a problem with the automatic playcalling at all. It makes my CPU teammates more reliable, paces the game better and makes my points feel much more worthwhile. More fouls, less dunks, no more magical big men and my teammates aren't terrible.

                                I should mention that I run the plays, and I run them hard. I trust in my teammates and coaches and only break plays if I'm wide open. Even then, my teammates have shown great recognition, hitting me on the perimeter and on cuts. Overall, this is a much, much better basketball game after the patch and didn't feel nearly as arcadey. And I still got a few dunks in there with my athletic SG, and this time it felt like I was really breaking down the D and giving my team momentum.
