Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Just great I just got drafted by the Grizz.

Got drafted by them too but I'm a SF so there was no need for me to be there with Gay already locked up there. I demanded a trade.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Have any of you guys won a championship during your first season?

of course man...3x champion and chasing down my 4th title....kobe must be upset about not ever getting his 6th ring and the fact that im done bringing championships to different teams...i did get lebron his 1st ring though

season 1: bulls(glad to give a title back to the city that drafted me and that team is worthy of it)
season 2: heat(giving them only 1 ring rather than the projected multiple titles they will win in the future)
season 3: hawks(awarding good defensive players by winning a title)
season 4: kings(about to make this franchise a dynasty)

talents that i have worked with so far:
-derrick rose, joakim noah, luol deng
-lebron james, chris bosh, dwayne wade
-josh smith, al horford, joe johnson, jamal crawford
-tyreke evans, demarcus cousins, kevin love, tim duncan, caron butler

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Anyone playing the PC version, are you getting plays ran at all when your not a PG?

I'm gonna make a new SG, but I'll probably wait till after the trade deadline. I want to go into my player with updated rosters.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Hey guys,

just recently got into myplayer mode and have to save i love it!

this is my 1st time doing this mode so its taking me awhile to get used to it.

6'6 pg drafted 9th in the 2nd round by the knicks

5 min quarters on w/e the default difficulty is

i'm averaging ~19 pts, 2 rebounds, 3 ast a game

just finally got my floor general status so now i can start calling plays and getting those assist up.

i was wondering which rating controls how fast my player moves around the court? im 78 speed and 88 quickness right now but i feel sluggish trying to get around screens. i know the speed definition says max speed and quickness says moving around but i was wondering if thats really accurate? i dont really hold down my sprint button that often so thats why i was upping my quickness. just wanted to check with some of you myplayer veterans to find out before i invest more points in

I'm not positive, but I have speed and quickness maxed out and my movement with out turbo is pretty fast. It did seem like it got a bit better when I maxed my hustle too but it could of been my imagination. Enigma probably knows for sure though. He's pretty good with the technical stuff.

i've always thought of quickness as that of agility in madden...like your ability to make a quicker change in direction comparative to speed in which it's a measure of how fast your player can run in a dash....

i also noticed that my player can explode off the triple threat quicker with a higher quickness since i usually fake with a jab step and take off in the other direction

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Tim Duncan on the Kings?

lol i didnt even ask for him...i was searching for SF's during the trade suggestion and they got rid of thaddeus young for both duncan and matt bonner....

i selected all SF's for my 5 candidates and ended up with two big men

i already had my frontcourt set with demarcus cousins and kevin love(he was on here before i joined the kings)

going a little grey with My Player, Ace "Money" Clarke, 6 foot 6 shooting guard for the Wizards. Somehow, I'm starting over John Wall now? lolllll

I haven't gotten any photos yet but it's early. I'm little disappointed, I can't dunk and despite getting my mid-range jumper up to 99, I can't hit any shots, a little frustrating, especially with my player being so slow. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this....

get your consistency and shoot off-dribble up...try pump faking in certain situations in which your defender is playing too tight

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

interesting....it's weird, I was on the bench, I had one good game (14 points, 7 boards) and boom I was starting. Now, I can't hit anything, perfect release, bad release, and while the CPU gets these lucky bounces on the rim, I have YET to see a single shot of mine bounce and fall in. But if it does go in, it's pure swish as if it was decided before the ball left my hands.....consistency and shoot off the dribble....got it....maybe I shud choose another jump shot, I'm using LBJ's

the signature jumpshots also play a role....you're correct

i played 2 1/2 seasons using the MJ jumpshot....then one of the patches came out and seemed to threw off my timing with the release(even though it would have been perfect pre-patch)...i switched to the "Waves" animation after it was suggested by Streets....i am having great success with this particular jumpshot(especially from the perimeter)...made 1000 3's already

you dont necessarily need to practice a jumpshot in the shootaround unless you're super dedicated and want to but as for me my practice is actually playing with the new jumper in a game as an on-going experimental trial

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

on the last month of the regular season(8 games left)

i just dished out my 1000th assist for the season

now i have to get that 1000th mark for rebound in the season(currently at 903)

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Just made my first career game winner against the Clippers. I was given the inbound with 3.2 seconds left, down 101-102 to the Clippers (Baron Davis just hit a huge 2 in my face), I ran straight to the left wing because my mid range is a 95 and I made it with 1.2 remaining (103-102). Thank god that Eric Gordon missed his game winning 3 because he was a pain in the *** to defend the entire game.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Anyone know how do I see my contract? It's not in my player's card. Thanks.

Side note. 2K needs to lower Shaq's free throw and medium shot. He shot 16/18 from the line during the entire nba finals, that's unreal. But that's not the best part, he did a step-back jumper on Tim Duncan. That's pretty funny, but it's totally unrealistic.

[taboo102]

I have two questions. The first is does your player start to decline in later seasons and the second is why does your team completely restructure itself once you start. I got drafted to the Wizards which was actually really awesome because it felt cool to get the franchise, with John Wall, to where I've gotten it in my second season (Eastern Conference Finals against Celtics, haven't finished yet though, swept the Pacers and beat the bulls 4-1, who upset the No. 1 seeded defending champion Miami Heat in a 4-1 series). But my question is why did the team get rid of so many players, the only two they kept that were originally on the team were R. Lewis (who they've been unsuccessfully trying to move for two seasons now) and Wall.

And on my brothers MyPlayer he's on the Jazz and the only people they kept were Millsap and Williams, and they somehow ended up with Nash who has been more of a hindrance to them than anything. He's cost them many of the games that I've watched my brother play because he's put in at PG for the 4th and tries to take too many shots himself which almost always miss.

Also, how come they keep completely changing the playbook? I had the old one completely down and they just randomly change it.

You don't actually have a contract. As far as I can tell, you don't count against your team's salary cap either. I think they're planning on adding this next year, but for now, you're never locked in to one team, so you can relocate every offseason (which is why it isn't there -- yet).

All the big men have that problem... Watching Yao Ming dribble around the perimeter, through his legs, behind the back, then taking a step-back fadeaway from 18ft is pretty funny though. I think the AI in general shoots around 80% from the FT line, regardless of who's taking the shot. Don't think there's really any way around it, even with sliders.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

...

Your player can progress 1 or 2 points in any category at the end of the season, including ones that are maxed out by the attribute caps, but I'm pretty sure there's no decline. I've only made it into my 4th season though, not sure if anyone has made it beyond 5 or 6.

Regarding the player movement -- Did you patch the game? It addressed this pretty well, but it still makes some stupid decisions... just less of them.

The playbook changing thing is pretty common, but it's tied mostly to the Coach. As long as your coach hasn't changed, it will usually go back to normal after a game or two. I dunno if the AI is trying to generate a strategy based on your opponent or whatever else might cause it.

If you start a game and notice the playbook is different, you can try quitting out to the menu and reloading the game. I had a crash once during a game that the playbook had changed, and it was fine when I started it back up.
