    Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

    In my first season as a PF, I requested a trade and ended up on the Suns (they sent Lopez to Houston for me -- the Rockets were pretty boring to play with and the Suns weren't one of my trade choices). It was prior to the patch, so playing constant freestyle with Nash was pretty fun. A month or so later, the brilliant CPU front office traded Nash, J. Rich and a 1st round pick to Houston for Yao and Kevin "OK, I'll shoot!" Martin. It was like I never left.

    I'm nearing the end of my 2nd season with that PF, now with the Celtics, a much more favorable place for a PF. Averaging 24 ppg and 18 rpg, while Rondo leads the league in assists by a mile from all the pick-and-roll. We were on our way to a 79-3 kinda season, but the monotony caught up. Been playing Superstar/Simulation for the past dozen games, but the shooting %'s are pretty atrocious. There's just no balance between challenge and a stupidly unrealistic .270 FG%.

    Anyone else notice that any given teammate seems more likely to make a shot if the pass comes from another CPU teammate and not you? Hard not to take that personally.

    I think most of where your minutes come from is based on your performance, more so than your attributes. That's really the only way a <70 OVR player could displace an all-star in the starting lineup. To lower your minutes reliably and in a hurry, just play terribly; put up some D- teammate grades. If you're willing to sim, then lowering your OVR will do it, but as soon as you start playing well enough (performance wise), you're back in the starting lineup again. Getting a 6th man award without going over the maximum starts allowed is gonna be tricky.

      my god...it's like houston and phoenix have an open trade policy going on

      at least chuck hayes didnt follow you.... sigh

      first off...glad you're actually paying attention to this experiment streets and i are having

      i have yet to test out the overall rating thing yet...although im sure you're onto something there since the opposite does seem to work with most players of this mode getting a starting nod over solid starters and sometimes possibly elite players...i'll keep this in mind when i try out the 6th man thing...

      what's the maximum number of starter games you can have as a 6th man?

        if it helps...i have chuck hayes on my team due to a poor front office...i lost legitimate tall players in zaza pachulia and marvin williams for this 6'6'' PF/C piece of garbage that passes out everytime i give him the ball down low...it's like he's afraid to take a shot because he knows he will get blocked/murdered out there....oh wait...that's right! he's 6'6'' playing the 4 and 5... SMH

        ahhh i dont know what to tell you about the d-league situation...hopefully they call him back...maybe if your PG depth chart becomes plagued by injuries or it gets depleted from trades?

        not sure what to tell you about that last problem
        Yeah the PG position is currently just Willie, he splits time with Randy Foye who's starting at the 2 because Eric Gordon's injured, in turn meaning I play loads of 2 and am guarding players quite a lot faster than me. (yes, I need to pump up my speed.) Any GM worth his salt would have recalled Bledsoe as soon as the trade went through.. we'll see I guess.

        My playbook doesn't disappear, it changes every once in awhile. So, what exactly is it that you do to prevent it? I rarely play games back to back. So I usually save after a game, exit and start again anyway, yet it still happens occasionally.

        So in your case, lets say you have Home, Home, Home, Away, Away. You'd save after the third game, exit to the dashboard of XBox Live or PSN. Then fire the game up again?
        Yeah, it's the same here with the playbook in that occasionally when I start a game it'll be apparent it isn't our normal one. In the rare event that I'd play five games back to back that's what I'd do, yes - when I don't the playbook does seem to change. Occasionally it has changed at other times, but quitting out to dashboard seems to remove the problem and when I restart it's with my playbook.

            i joined the kings and saved it as another file(the team i actually want! my hometown team)

            i'll reload a bit more to see what other teams are interested...the bulls and grizzlies are the top two most interested...

            ***i lied..it happened twice...maybe it's not a glitch..you just get lucky...a new team appeared this time(lakers)

                definitely not...but there are usually 2(aside from your current team) that appear more often than not

                grizzlies
                bulls(season 1)
                kings(probable team for season 4)
                lakers
                bobcats
                heat(season 2)
                hawks(season 3)

                    After season 1, Jason Kidd for has retired, but shouldn't it be like after years they retire, they get inducted to HOF, not staright after hahaha

                      lol yeah they have different year classes for each hall of fame ceremony but 2k didnt really have time to pay attention to that but im glad they had some sort of menu that showed which all-stars are retired...i dont have time to follow where each player go during the regular season because of trades

                      jason kidd was a backup PG for the spurs the last time i saw him(tony parker was still playing)

                      steve nash was back with the mavs...but at least he was a starter
