    Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

    lol same here...it's getting progressively higher every season...but im still fine with it so long as i dont lead the league in turnovers...i think derrick rose gets the cake with like 3.5topg this season

    first season
    -1.6 topg

    second season
    -2.1 topg

    third season(current)
    -2.3 topg(64 games)

    im okay with the turnovers made because i did a bad pass that i shouldnt have(like on a pick and roll or fastbreak) but some of the turnovers that happen when my teammates dish me off the ball after a rebound, their passes to my player on the sidelines as i automatically catch it out of bounds, and the slow movement of my teammates after i grab a defensive rebound that leads to me bumping their body and taking a step back and over the line are highly upsetting

    most of those turnovers are all done because of faulty animations or within the split second when the camera angle changes due to which team has possession of the ball...usually i have no control over the matter...it sucks because most games im on pace to get 0 turnovers but something like this happens and it ruins it...it would be great the bring my turnovers down to 2.0 this season but in order for that to happen i would have to have numerous 0 turnover games within my next 23 games

      Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

      I just added 10 to offensive clutch and 5 to layup after my last game. I like lay-up just so I can have more animations available. I like the offensive low post idea. I may never use it, but just the idea of having that option to make me a more dynamic scorer intrigues me.

      Strength... On defense I get backed down on the rare occasions when I'm posted up (remember I play 2 guard almost exclusively now), but my On Ball D, Vertical, and Block are maxed, so I'm either swatting it or disrupting it. Still it might be nice to not get backed down at all but I'll save it.

      Durability... like I said, getting injured isn't all bad as you can miss some games guilt free. Also, my team record will be more realistic if the team racks up some losses while I'm gone.

      Stamina... yeah, I'm sure I'll start, but there's no bringing my MPG back down. So, I'm riding out this 6th man thing. I already lost all my Key Games against Melo by virtue of his being on my team, and I've already played the Heat and Thunder. Not many left for me anyway. Maybe I'll get 6th man. However, I noticed that Morrow is injured. He only plays like 5 minutes a game when healthy, but maybe he's the reason the rotations changed. He's out 4-6 weeks, so we'll see.

      Free Throws... I do SO much better having switched to AI's FT animation. Thanks for that one Enigma. It's very fluid. I think I'm like 15-17 right now. I might up this because it's cheap and it's something that I will see direct results from.

      Awareness... I think if I'm rated higher than Melo, I'd have to start (I do NOT want him being the 6th man though. I'd rather me, because he'd throw a fit). So, I might start upping my Awareness a little here and there.

      I'm weird and I like my non-maxed stats in intervals of 5. I think I'll just spread it around but will probably focus on freethrows. There's nothing I NEED anymore as I've maxed all of the stats I deem important.

        you might need to increase strength just for the ability to have an effective post game but then again you said you might not even use it

        i might lower my durability down to 80...i do want to sim some games rather than be a workhorse through out each game of the whole season...doesnt hurt that there's a stockpile of skill points i have no use for

        keep me updated on that 6th man thing...so frustrated if you get the 6th man of the year

        are you using AI's FT with the shot stick or shot button? shot button makes it even more better in my opinion...significantly better

        lol you should just keep the awareness as low as possible since it's completely useless

          Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

          i just saw roy hibbert take a fade away spin around jumpshot from the post like 18 ft. away from the basket with like 18 seconds on the shot clock...obviously he missed but maybe i should be reconsidering about adding indiana to one of the teams i might join if they offered me the chance...

          anybody else notice the trend of cpu generated players having a wrap around their hand? it's starting to bother me ... i know they're not injured ...i see the injuries menu on my screen

          but anyway...since i've put the brake on my 3 point shooting for the remainder of the season i have been driving soft to the basket(eurostep and it's slow delay sometimes) to try and draw the foul...lol it hasnt been pretty...i get my layups thrown back in my face like 5 times a game

            Pistons run 3 Guards and 2 bigs. So for defense I need it. I started to boost Shoot low Post after the first few games with Pistons because we ran Post with me, but now we run the same few plays every game. I wish I could call plays.
            Do you plan to stay with your current team?
            I plan to stay with the Pistons for a couple of seasons. I like the addition of K.Perkins(traded) and J. O'Neal(Traded) and J. Garnett(Rookie Top 3 pick). As long as Hamilton doesnt retire/trade/free afrency and we got a good young backup PG and C we will be a problem.

              I use the button (which I also didn't know about before you). I was having a harder time using the button than the stick with my old form (default) so I decided to switch to AI to try it and I like it.

              I'll be keeping everyone updated on my 6th man status.

              I definitely plan on sticking with my team unless I never end up starting in NJ or something weird like that happens. I requested a trade in the first season with the idea that I was finding a home to stay with hopefully permanently. We also ended up getting Al Harrington in the offseason and a couple good draft picks, so this team is loaded. Harris is our only PG at the moment though. Thus, I play point in small spurts on rare occasions. I actually hate it when I play point. I can still call plays as a 3 man (even without floor general status). The only difference is as a PG, you can pull up a menu that actually shows you what plays you are running, and you can all quick plays. That's about it. Also, you can hog the ball more with less hold the ball too long penalties.

                I will try the AI FT.
                I played Point guard 3-5 times with Jazz. Where Derron Williams was already subbed out and every player was 6'7+ on the court. It was easier to set up picks as a PG though. Didnt like at first, but was getting use to it.
                On avg I get touch the ball 85% of the game.
                Is there a different playcall than Quick Screen. There are alot of times where I have to cancel to a playcall(even plays for me) because either they ran too much or not right for the situation.
                OFF Topic. It seems like unless the team has a star PF, there is not of a lot of PF plays besides post up.
                I say that because I played PF time to time with Jazz and a lot with Pistons so far.

                  You have every play at your disposal. Cancel the play by calling for a quick screen. Then call for the ball. When you get it, hit LB again. The icons will come up over everyones heads. Hit the button for the corresponding player, then hit A, B, X, or Y for the play you want to run. It's easier to call plays right after you get a rebound though. Just LB, the icon, then ABXY.

                    Can anyone tell me some teams that play zone defense a lot? I'm on the Lakers and every team I play always try to score in the post, so I used my floor general status and switch it up to the 2-3 when we were trailing by 11 in the 4th. They shot like 30% in the 4th because I went to the 2-3. Why doesn't my team use the zone more often..?

                        i got mine probably before the finals of season 1...

                        just asking out of curiosity and trying to establish a very vague timeline as to when people get the last endorsement
                        i got it right before the finals in my first season

                              I'm a pass-first PG (although lately I've been scoring a bunch because I have 90 layup and 83 mid-range) and I got drafted to the Blazers. Who do you think I should suggest when they ask me who I want to target? The insider already said they'll ask me soon. I'm thinking I'll ask for a couple of SGs that can shoot the 3 because Wesley Matthews has been horrible and most of my time on the court I'm playing with both Andre Miller and Brandon Roy and Miller really brings nothing to the team. Maybe another PF or C because Aldridge plays a lot of C right now.

                                you dont want to stack your PG position because that's the depth chart you're on...

                                in terms of players...i have no clue who you could ask for...most of my trades dont actually go through and if they do...i get players i didnt even ask for but maybe courtney lee or travis outlaw(back to portland)...you could even try getting george hill although he's undersized...he can play both the 1 and 2 spot...i dont know what you want to do with greg oden and whether or not he's starting over marcus camby...but i would ask to for another big man(oden has a low durability and camby is old)...i have robin lopez for my association
