Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

i love the iso gather hop spin...gets me into the paint and like 80% of the time i draw contact(although the foul isnt alway called)...only downside is that i get my shot blocked at a high percentage too

im able to shoot 10+ freethrows each game easily

Is that the Turbo+hop step?

nope...it's the signature gather(you have to assign it to your player) where your player cant be moving(but you still have the dribble)...it's triangle on the ps3

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I am 11 games into my second season, didn't get to create my own Jordans till we won the chip.

I'ma 99 overall Athletic PG on OKC, been playing on HOF with 12 mins & simulation sliders. So far we have lost 2 games, one to Bucks in double overtime & 1 we got blown out by the Spurs in SA.

Game is just too addicting, i don't play anything else on my PS3 now haha

I'm going to have to switch to that.

As far as my sixth man status. I got injured 30 seconds into a game. I didn't save. But, for the hell of it, when I came to, I saw that Morrow was day-to-day. I simmed to he was healed and I was STILL the 6th man. So it looks like I'm stuck.

Another interesting thing is I upped my stamina from 70 to 75 and simmed ahead and my mpg never changed. I think I need to actually play the games for my MPG to slowly increase. If so, perhaps if you lower your stamina and then play the game out, maybe your minutes would go down and you could be the 6th man??

im glad you're having fun with HOF settings...lots of people complain about it...

at first i was just looking for a gather that was similar to kobe's back pivot but nothing really was close to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44KHGBfOpNE

i think kobe's layup package has that but i rarely see layup packages at work in the game

i used to have the hez hop or whatever it's called but im tired of shooting jumpshots this season...i want freethrows! it seems to work...just beware of the shot blockers...they will have a field day

i'll try the stamina thing maybe next season...when i tried to do it awhile back when you first mentioned it, i never did play a single game after...i just thought it was a lost cause...so you're possibly right about the simulation negating the minute changes(just a heads up...im like 80% sure simulations also doesnt tally up any 3 pointers, assists, steals, points and etc. unless you do them yourself for the achievements/milestones...they still tally up for the season stats though)...i'll also try lowering both my offensive and defensive awareness to see how low of a rated player i can get during next season

on second thoughts...i should probably try the stamina thing during the playoffs...and if it works...i'll be set to be a potential 6th man rather than a guaranteed starter(for my next team) due to my overall rating and minutes but we'll see...still have like 12 games left in the regular season

OMG...paid too much attention to this thread that i didnt even realize i put up 50 points against the raptors due to repeated hop spins -_-

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

not sure if anybody else does this but if you're a PG and you want to run the pick and roll with less congested traffic...you should bring up the quick play menu(right on the d-pad for ps3) and then call for a quick isolation play(circle for ps3)....after that just call for a pick and roll as you normally would...

I've been doin this with my Pick N Rolls forever, works like a charm

It's so brilliant yet so obvious. Can't believe I never thought of doing this. Thanks for the heads up!

i sort of strayed away from it for a while that's why the thought just came to mind

it's usually always near the end of the season that i try to bring my turnover average down so that's when i remembered what i did during season 1 that was so effective(1.6 topg that season)

[bruinkid626]

Great. My avg turnover is about 4 a game. I've actually had a game where Baron Davis was being a d*** and stole off of me 4 times to go along with my 5 to's off bad passes. I've improved my ball security and this should help me more.

i always flick my L3 backwards so that it doesnt leave players like rondo directly in front of me...somewhat creates a bit of space

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I've been taking Enigma's advice and doing much better in my Soph season. (props to him for the good advice!)

As a rookie I was drafted #29 by the Magic and averaged 9.1 pts and 4.9 asst. (5'7" PG)

Second season, as a free agent, I elected to go to the Bucks and requested to be traded after seeing their play calling- horrible.

I got traded to the Clippers along with Bogut for Butler, Cook and Diagou and am pretty happy now. The frontline is great with Griffin/Bogut/Kaman and I like the plays called.

I am 2-2 with the team so far and getting comfortable with these guys. We beat the CHAMPION LAKERS last game as a visiting team and I had my best game ever, and outplayed Kobe. 31 pts and 12 asst. (Got about 6000 xp points!)

Then in the post game they asked me about how great Kobe was. I was pissed so I answered arrogant and suffered a chemistry hit. (should have answered indifferent, LOL)

So now I have 91 med shot, 89 3pt, 87 shoot off dribb, 80 in traffic, 91 on ball D, 86 speed, 89 quick, 81 consistency.

I'm working on getting 90 quick, better ball security (to 80), hands (80), close and inside shot (to 75 min).

Then I will get steal up to 90 and consistency to 90.

After that, I can work on other stuff.

The only thing that pisses me off is that even though my quickness is good, on defense, when my opponent get the ball and drives, and I hold down RT to keep up with him, I FREEZE, can't move, and he blows by me.

what's up with that?

thanks for the acknowledgement but i cant take all the credit...lots of people have contributed from this site...i just provided a short synopsis of this whole 300+ page thread

im glad to hear the advice and tips are working to your advantage though and hope they continue to work

you seem to have everything in order and know what to improve next especially with some of the more essential attributes at a higher number as of right now(not sure if it was you who i told this to, but that's where you use your own instincts as to which other area you should start pouring points into next)

but seriously...i hate everyone in this thread who gets amazing trades to go through im so jealous that you're actually able to play with griffin AND bogut(kaman isnt bad either...again more hate)... luckyyyyyyyyyyyy

im reading what you wrote and i dont see any mentioning of hustle...did you increase hustle yet? it helps significantly...i remember when i couldnt chase down a deflected ball caused by myself because my reaction time was so slow....this probably in all likelihood works with chasing down your man as he blow past you
