Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I give up i can't play all-star, my teammates are the dumbest players in the NBA. Back to pro/sim...

i play pro too, since noone in my damn team hits a open jumper most of the time even in pro.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

You guys ever noticed when your objective is to stop elite players like LBJ, there seems to be a force field of some kind or your player doesn't move like normal (Bad enough the animations aren't as quick and responsive as your stick skills)?

I'm early in my season (started over) to be a 6'6 all around SF 51 OVR, on All-Star level/12min. I was drafted by the Bucks but asked to be traded and went to the Magic. The team is on a 10 game losing streak because my teammates are throwing up contested shots at a high rate. And there aren't many plays that are designed for me to score. I have the play diagram up to try and follow the play being run. Should I simply take over to get a jump in production? I'm averaging 9.8ppg/5.7reb/4.5ast. I have a 82 mid range shot, and 76 close and near basket. I don't even try to jack up any threes at 52.

I have been bumping up the vertical with skill points and noticed my player is dunking every once in a while when he's open or on a fast break.

Where can I get some really good tips to get better production?

as always...you shouldnt worry about dunking until later on in your career...improve your game from medium range and long range first...also take care of consistency and shoot off dribble...

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

What was the patch for? I'm sorry if this answer is somewhere else. I haven't been on here for a long while. I did notice 1.20 was downloading and didn't know for what.

it 'fixed' a lot of things...there's the automatic play-calling now...the game save after a timeout no longer freezes...basically those two are the only ones of major concern when you're in my player mode....

but here's the link to the rest of the fixes:

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Well, after 8 games as the starting center, and a fired coach, we finally got our first win. (Wizards) 1-8. Yay......?

Don't give up! I'm a PF for the Wizards and we started out like 10-30, but we climbed back out of the bottom and on the last game of the season we clinched the final playoff spot!

Took 7 games to off the Heat, then another 7 game series, and finally we swept the Hawks for the Eastern Conference title. Now I'm in a fight to knock out the Lakers, down 3-2.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Has anyone tried any sliders prior to starting My Player? It worked last year. I think it may help with the CPU jacking up contested 3's.

I really want to try, but of course I already started and am 30 games into my season. Would hate to start over, but if it fixes the gameplay, I might.

And please don't say sliders don't work in My Player.

I don't think this would work because there is a gamestyle setting within the mode. You just cannot actually see or adjust the sliders.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

How are you guys winning????????????/

I'm still on the bench and the only game we've won I had a double double...

I get at least 12 a game, and with the changes I can only play how the game wants me to, So if I can't do anything extra, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WIN?????????

Help PLEASEEE

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Not a fan of the new changes, I said I'd wait and play alot of games, before I just blindly bash after one day...

But I hate it so much, and there are 4 things that really get on my nerves:

1. The speed (dribble drill) work around was horrible in the beginning, because you could go long lengths without getting a speed increase, BUT NOW!!!!!!!! I went through 3 days just to get one speed (Luckily it was during the regular season, So I can play games and not be afraid of losing my drills. Like it happens in Summer League and Combine.)

2. People were saying ... "U noobs, why are you complaining, you can just play like before and they'll still act like before." No they don't!!! If you say you can play like before the patch, you are in denial... They never pass the ball, and you can do it almost every play and most likely a bad jump shot will be thrown up if you don't initiate the play.

3. The Fast Breaks are completely different, I was never the cherry pick, every play kind of person ... I would only run if my man was at the top of the key. But now they don't throw it down at all, I know position can play a part, but PG have had the ball and still don't throw the outlet... Without getting the ball during most plays, this should be an easy way to at least get double digits points off Fast Breaks...

4. The plays are so horrible sometimes, It feels like on my screens sometimes they pick, sometimes they don't... and I'll be running plays sometimes, definitely am not open, and the CPU will force it, and cause a turnover... Of course my match up is blazing down the court and scores

I do like a couple things though:

1. Rebounding is a lot better, I actually feel if I box out, I have a better chance of getting the ball even with a height deficiency (6'5 SF), mostly because I probably get subbed at PF so much

2. The plays, when they work are pretty good, I love running off of 2 or 3 picks and being open for a mid range or 3 pt jump shot ...

That's all I can really think of at this moment that was really changed.... And the negatives outweigh the pros by a lot. It's not unplayable, but it definitely not much fun, I'll play it some more, But I feel the climb will be long and frustrating, and I truly won't appreciate the mode again until I'm a beast (60 overall +)

i know what you're talking about in regards to the dribble course...my player is at a speed of 90 and it's one of the few remaining stat lines that im trying to max out...it keeps giving me ball handle...i already have that stat maxed out

as for the cherry picking...you're also right...it's not as effective anymore...i remember abusing this during key games since it's 1.)a highlight and 2.)the 2x multiplier...i can still somewhat do it but im usually under the boards now grabbing rebounds...

if you're only getting 12 minutes a game...it's hard to really do much for your team...i've lost a few games in the beginning because of the low minutes and the game playing me at SG but once i got more playing time we started winning...all i can say is focus on converting every possession into points when you're in the game and making as much stops as you can...dont let them get second chance points...rebound! rebound! rebound!

you cant have your own custom sliders for myplayer , for obvious reasons

only options are default and simulation .. i went with simulation .

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

so, i started a different career...and well i manipulated the draft so that i could land on the team i wanted to be on(trailblazers)...beast mode on game 1 and 2 of the combine(enough to average a triple double for all three games even though i intentionally tanked my last game with a D rating for teammate grade). suffice it to say i lost probably 1000 skill points that is so valuable in the beginning of a career when i did this but whatever

before i started the career...i increased the durability of oden(from his low 25 to a 70) and looks like luck was on my side....i made sure on the last game of the combine that i was projected to be drafted 21st overall by the thunders because i know for the most part the game makes it so that you get drafted by the team designated before or after your projected pick...long and behold...it worked out...

im assuming this customization in attribute works simply because i already tested out trading players(lebron james back to the cavaliers) a few days ago before i started a new my player...it worked because the cavaliers did indeed have lebron on their roster when the season started...

6'5'' all-around PG...made him 6'5'' instead of 6'3''(what i usually use) because im tired of struggling with blocks

Hello fellow OSers, long time reader first time poster.

I can't believe what Dallas just did in My Player. They just...TRADED DIRK
Just started my second season, I'm a 6' 10" 84 overall SF. After demanding a trade to New York I get traded to Dallas from Chicago but not for Dirk I got traded for Caron Butler straight up. So! I looked at the roster and felt like it wasnt so bad...I'm with Dirk we got Kidd, we can compete. Kidd goes down with a shoulder injury and then the unthinkable happened. Dirk was traded to Utah for Okur and Milsap... My Brother from a german mother is gone I think Dallas wants to build around me and to be honest I like the feeling but, I kinda don't want to play for the Mavs
