Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

All these real life trades are making it hard not to restart My Player.
I dont mind the Carmelo trade. But the Deron Williams trade affects both of my My Players. One is on the Nets and one was on the Jazz.

but you're a PG on the Nets...you want deron williams as a SG?

No. I didnt like CP3 as a SG. D. Harris plays good as SG.
But it would hurt without Favors.
I will probably might do a new My Player/Association after Trade deadline.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Is it me or is CPU Teammate post defense terrible?
It seems like if a CPU puts my teammates in a Low Post, They will score 9/10 times.

yeah they do play terrible D, thats the reason as soon as it goes into the post w/ a somewhat decent post player, i'll send the double and just play rotation. i got tired of every C/PF dominating my team. everytime i would drop to help they'd kick out right at hte last second of their shooting animation to my wide open player. instead of me taking the ding for help D, i'd rather let the blame end up on whoever the rotation goes too

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I made a 6'1 PG from Kentucky named Brandon Knight (yes i know he is the point guard on the current kentucky team). I got drafted round 1 pick 27 i think to the Memphis Grizzlies. Was behind Conley until game 10 where i took over as the starter. we currently stand at 12-20 which is not good. I requested a trade where i put the pistons at 1, raptors at 2 and kings at 3. Reasons i want out...
1. OJ Mayo - he doesnt pass the damn ball, he takes the worst shots
2. Terrible team, we have alot of talent but cant do anything with it
3. Mike Conley, poor sport since i took over as a starter, drives into 4 defenders and gets blocked, takes dumb shots like Mayo all the time
Reasons i want to stay....
1. Minutes im at 36 minutes right now (10 min qts)
2. Rudy Gay, man is clutch and good teammate
3. I like the fact of reviving a down franchise

As for Knight
14 ppg
9 rbg (at 6'1 this is amazing )
6 apg
38% fg
86% ft
A- to A+ teammate grade every game

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

just in case playcalling as a floor general isnt team/position/coach dependent(if anyone can verify this by playing a game and calling all these plays to see if they match then it would be great; only thing is that you cant be on the kings, a PG or have gregg popovich as a coach)...this might be useful for those who arent a PG and dont have the play menu

press right on the d-pad and make your play selection from there...then give the ball back to your PG to let him run the play

I need that floor general. Since I am on the jazz with Deron Williams, Milsap, we can be a force.

You haven't played with the ball hog Brandon Jennings. I have. He takes fade away 3s before he thinks of passing the ball.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Between 2 back-to-back against the Raptors, I had a total of 80 points, 27 rbs, and 31 assists.
One more triple double and I will have 10 career Triple-Doubles

i like all-around for any position but that's just me and my need to have a higher maximum cap for most of the attributes

if you want speed right away...you can go with athletic i guess...but the dribble drill trick can get you speed either way...

there's a stat cap sheet in my arena's blog for every position if you need to see it

I'd stick with all around.. you have to work on getting your stats, that's the beauty of it for me. And there isn't much of a cap restriction for that style like the specific styles like Athletic and 3pt specialist, etc.
Personally, I'd rather be a complete player that does it all than be a specific type of player.

Thanks But For PG What Should U Work On And What Height Should I Do

I thought I heard or read somewhere that the taller your player the more restriction he will get. For a point guard, don't go any taller than 6'4.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

I have yet to hit 50+ points. How are yall doing that? Unless you are speeding up and down the court and nailing shots with sky high FG%. And I use 12 min quarters. I hit 44 points (highest) 2x. Though I rarely took 3pt shots since I never raised that attribute till my second season now.

My three was non-exsistant when I scored 59, you basically get forced into around the half of the first quarter I noticed they were playing lax defense but my team was NOT SCORING, So I just started crossing them up and getting the And 1, I had about 12 And 1's that game becasue of my 99 Layup

So basically I just drove the paint and kept scoring

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Thanks But For PG What Should U Work On And What Height Should I Do

depends on how much you want to be able to block shots lol

im listed at 6'3'' and i get around 0.6 bpg

for the most part i look at the height of some of the more elite stars at my position...derrick rose is at 6'3'' so i chose that height

but yeah even though the Insider says that the amount of skill points they reward you is on a height basis...i never had the time to test that out...probably wont...i dont really care about the difference in points you get since you have a long time to develop your player in an 82 game season

everyone has their own thing they want to do in this game when they're starting off...but i love an unstoppable mid-range game over flashy dunks any day

-mid-range shot
-consistency
-shoot off dribble
-verticals

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Name/Number: Jake Allen #14
Play style: 3pt Specialist
Position: Shooting Guard/Small Forward
Drafted: 27th Overall to the Wizards
Team: LA Lakers
2nd Year

All-Star, Simulation, 12 Minutes

Summary (Thus Far)

I played exeptional in the Pre-Career Things such as the summer league, Training camps ect. Averaged around 25 Points and 12 Rebounds. I found that I was a VERY good rebounder for a 6'5 Shooting guard. Even though I played well, i didn't expect to go very high, so i was surprised to go in the first round. As you could guess, my first season with the wizards didn't go very well. We lost our first 17 games, before finally beating the blazers by only a few (2 or 3 i think.) In that stretch, i didn't start, and averaged a little over 5 points and 6 rebounds on 17 minutes Looking at a looong season ahead, I considered requesting a trade. After seeing that EVERYONE Else is traded their first year. I decided to stick around and try to turn my rookie season around. I eventually became the starting shooting guard, and leading player in shooting percentage by all star weekend. I was invited to participate in the rookie-sophmore game, but a nagging ankle injury kept me from it, and about 10 games that year. nearing the end of my rookie year I had emerged as a great shooter and good scorer finishing with 15 points 9 rebounds per game. my 2 assists per game is what I was most upset about.
Although it was very frustrating being on a team that only won 19 games, the thing i hated most about Washington is the player makeup on the team, an-often injured Josh Howard that took 70% of the teams shots. (only making about 15% of them...) Gilbert Arenas Opting his 3pt game over his Drive to the rim Mentality, Dumb Personal Trades (Kirk Hinrich for Marcin Gortat, Javale McGee for Chris Duhon). John Wall Was my best friend, taking smart shots and dishing to open teamates rather than 'Josh Howard-ing'. He ended up edging me for Rookie of the year.

Then came the Off-Season. I first want to say, as much as I freaking LOVE My Player mode, I was dissapointed to see 2K didn't do anything to make the off-season better. Anyway... After everything simulated, Three teams had interest in me, not including the wizards, who, with the 1st pick in the draft, nabbed an 81 overall PF, But traded our leading scorer from the previous year, Andre Blatche, and apparently let go nick young. After seeing this, it cemented my time in D.C. and I wanted to move on.

Los Angeles, Boston, and Orlando. 3 Title Contenders. With LA Needing that one piece to get back the Championship after loosing it to heavily favored Miami in 7 games, I was In.

At the start of the 2011-2012 season, I took my gold #14 and was ready to be a force with LA. I was however prepared to come off the bench for Future H.O.F. Kobe Bryant. 1st Things first, The Lakers sent aging Point Guard Fisher and Lamar Odom to Phoenix to bring in the final part to mesh it all together. Steve Nash.
It was very surprising when I Started the first game at the small forward position, coming off a year where i didn't play SF. We started off very VERY Poorly only raking in 10 wins from 19 games. Then I was hit with a Severe ankle sprain. My team went on a 7 game winning streak in my absence, then, upon my return we rallied on to (What it is now..) a 41-21 record.
I am currently coming off the bench to play 3 positions, PG, SG, and SF. Not often PG because we have two-although not great in any particular category-Solid Rookie point guards.

Now, HERE. Is my problem. I don't know what it is, but I just cannot seem to knock down a 3 pointer for the life of me. My 3pt rating is 95, and I can't hit even the simplest wide open jumpers, sometimes even going as bad as 1-11!!!
Another thing to note is that I play for realism, i'm not a guy who aims for 50 a game in hopes of huge skill point numbers to take online. That's not where the fun is. as of now i'm averaging 19.8 points and 9.5 rebounds. (with 4.2 assists!!) It's also important to know that of our 62 games, i've only play 43. due to the darn ankle injury.

Much Appreciation to anyone who had the time and tolerance to read this. It really was very fun to type up, and I hope you can help me with my problem of not being able to hit my WIDE OPEN Threes.

Sorry for making it so long, and i'll keep you posted here and there if you like. =]

Hey, your career is lookin very promising. I too, play for realism because for me, gettin 40 points and a triple double is more exciting than iso- dunking all game long and dropping one hundred. I've also had that three-point delimma that your facing. My guy isn't a three point specialist, but he's deadly from the corner and can easily put up 9 threes a game when he gets hot. But I think your problem is shot stick timing. I used to have games like that where my shot just didnt feel right, so I kept shooting, but I kept missing. It was because I was on a cold streak, and even though my timing was right, it just wouldn't go in. My tip to you, would be to do the shooting drill, or just practice 3's before games, to get your timing down. Once you hit that first three, and you start knockin down shots, those other 3's wil come easier. Hope this helps.
