Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)
with the exception of the pick and roll, pick and pop, and lead passing....im telling everyone...the success rate of your teammates sinking shots are dramatically better if you pass them the ball while they're in stride
im averaging close to 16 apg(i can easily get 20+ assists since i usually get like 10 in the first quarter alone) WHILE dominating in almost every statistical category(block excluded)...average: 30.8ppg, 13.4rpg, 15.8 apg, 4.7spg, 2.3topg....i think it's important to note that im pulling down those rebounds at a height of 6'3''
the game's mechanic in this mode is pretty messed up in terms of shooting percentages...why comply with the developers' errors and bring yourself to frustration? just work around the problem and find a different way to put up points besides being over reliant on shooting(do so by making your teammates take the ball inside)...get them on a hotstreak before you give them passes for an open shot....not saying everyone should play the game this way but this method works for me and my teammates do knock down their shots and if they dont, i dont get pissed off about it...i just switch it up and make them attack the basket (also my team is averaging around 20-30 freethrows per game which is a bit more realistic because i know a lot of people are having trouble drawing fouls in this game)
i know my player's individual stats arent realistic but it's more than just averaging a triple double and being content...i agree it is a bit of an ego thing but what i do is more than that....i try to stretch my ability and skill set with the allotted time given to me on the floor...it's a good practice to see what i can do in this game so whenever i do play against my friends i can beat them easily
not sure how but im also leading the race for most improved player for the second time(won the first one in season 2) in my career and my season average is just a bit slightly higher than last season in certain stats...im sure other players around the league are more deserving of this award since they will most likely have a higher jump in statistical output comparative to past seasons...but all in all...this just shows me that i can still push my player beyond what are already stellar numbers
my first three seasons of this career were done under 9 minute quarters and i still held unrealistic stats but that came at a cost to my teammates who averaged a bit lower stats in the categories of rebounding and assists(sometimes points)....by bumping it up to 12 minutes this season i was able to let them get more realistic stats that were closer to their career average WHILE still enjoying what i do with my own player
it's not like i average 50+ points(as what i wrote above, i score only around 30ppg, which is enough to secure the league leader status) a game and completely neglect other aspects of basketball...i secure wins by doing literally everything on the floor and live up to my playing style of an all-around player...
even if i dont put up these kind of numbers and play more attuned with those that are sim players...my interest in things always waivers and comes in sporadic streaks...either way i get bored and play other games(black ops)...so my current play style doesnt at all affect my loyalty to the game...that's just all me and my personality
i know the difficulty of this mode is different depending on the position you are as a player...i wont try to hide that...i know users who arent PG's are required(to some extent) to be dependent on a cpu PG to run their offense and any stupid thing they do on your team is usually out of your control...but as i see it, if you keep yourself situated and rooted in playing the game as how it was fatally designed due to an imperfect patch(the feature of playcalling is great but face it, this needs improvement) it just makes it even more aggravating...for these reasons i believe it's completely fine to just cancel out of plays and revert back to a freestyle type of play(which unfortunately doesnt always work since the cpu PG would still just try to ISO free and make a shot or drive to the basket)
TL;DR
