    And you're wrong.. I never "edited" my player and played 10 min quarters and managed to get drafted 10th by the Pacers.

    Its your game so you can play it the way you want to, but to come off as your achieving something after you altered the skill points BEFORE your MP season ever started is IMO cheesing.
    Lol you totally missed my point, but that's ok. I'll simplify it, the less things you have listed in "The Bad" when you go to game analysis, along with good numbers during the game = higher draft stock. Simple. It has nothing to do with your overall, and solely putting up good numbers won't do it either.

    I only mentioned the editing because I knew people would see the "71" and suddenly get all angry. You can call it cheesing, but then I guess guys like Luke Walton and JJ Redick think LBJ, Wade, DeRozan, and Griffin are cheesing as well. Some dudes are extremely athletic and have to work on their game, while other guys might not be blessed with with those athletic skills but they're good at the fundamentals to the point where they're effective at the pro level. If I want an unathletic, fundamentals guy, I'll make a 3-point specialist. Some of the least athletic guys in the NBA have better athletic ratings in this game than what most of the subcategories start with...i find that stupid. JJ Redick will never, at any point in his life, be as athletic as Nate Robinson or Blake Griffin. But in 2K11, you can take a dude who's slightly less athletic than JJ and make him almost as athletic as either of those two if you play long enough and have the right Jordan sneakers...that seems more cheesy than making my scoring forward....able to move like an NBA prospect. The day I see someone come out of college with the handles of a Renaldo Balkman and half way thru their first season they're breaking ankles and mixing people up like...is the day that everyone who is "anti making your guy a viable pro prospect from the get go" wins this argument.

    But yea...your whole outlook on just the stats is what I think the flawed logic is. I think people will settle for that "hold ball too long" as long as there's an assist at the end, and I'm saying that I think that's what holds those 11th overall picks from being 8th overall picks. The "game analysis" screen might be more important than the player card screen that just shows your averages. How you got your numbers seems to be just as important as actually achieving the numbers.

      Hey guys.
      I started a new My Player as Pass First PG. This is my first experience as a PG.

      I played the draft combine games and quit because my team mates can not shoot! They missed most of their close shots. We were blown out by the opposition every game.

      My average team mate grade was a C- due to me getting 2 assist/pg.

      Has this ever happened to any one?

      Should I try playing on a higher difficulty? I play on Pro with 12 minute quarters.

        As I can tell, you don't seem to understand what I'm trying to get at so let me simplify it for you..

        You don't need to increase your athleticism, ball handling, dunking, or layup skills to play good defense. You don't need to increase those skills to stop getting "Hold the ball too long" negative ratings. If you play 2k basketball in a realistic way, you can still get good points and get drafted high. I get my points from screens and running around trying to get open.

        Originally posted by nuckles2k2
        That was also the game where I had zero "hold ball too long" ratings and got 6 assists, my points and rebounds were like 37 and 20 I think (numbers I put up before but never with the defensive effort and "good" team play.) I get back to the home screen and I'm slated for the 6th overall pick.
        However, those skill points do help in getting 37 points and 20 rebounds..

        When you get drafted, you start as a rated 44-50 (at the most). You're starting off at 71. Then you're trying to come off as achieving something that no one else in the game has done by being drafted #6.

        There is a reason why no one else has been drafted earlier than #10, that's because no one is cheesing like you are.

        You make it seem as if the player they originally gives you is some tub of lard that can't jump, run, or pass the ball.

        You defeat the purpose of the game. You're suppose to increase your skills as you move along your career. I had no problems starting as a rated 44 player and still managing to score 16-18 ppg AND being drafted #10 by the Pacers.

        And then you say my outlook on stats is flawed.. you're the one increasing your skills to get "better stats" in the game.

          Hey guys.

          Started a new My Player as a Pass First PG.

          My shooting attributes are not very good so I rely on team mates to get points. I'm playing for the Thunder.

          However my team mates can't shoot for ****! We are getting blown out every game!

          Has this every happened to anybody?
          Should I crank up the difficulty to All-Star? What does changing the difficulty actually do?

            all-star/default has always been good to me in terms of teammate play...

            even if you cant score...you cant be too overly reliant on jumpshooters...this year's version of my player mode has significantly been hampered by the shooting %'s

            since you're playing a PG like i am...i offer you the same advice i have given everyone else on this thread(regardless of positional differences)
            -work on your mid-range game first(along with consistency and shoot off-dribble)....be an effective scorer
            -pick and rolls for easy assists(tap L1/LB, choose the button of your desired player and hold that button until he comes to set the pick.....hold the button longer for a pick and pop)
            -send your teammates on cuts(tap L1/LB, select the button of your desired player and flick the right stick in the direction of where you want him to move)

            also here's the official video on passing tips:


            i like using a combination of all these things to get a higher assists to turnover ratio...the only thing i highly stress you do is to give the ball to your teammates as they're in motion....them being in stride has always increased the rate at which my teammates sank their perimeter shots...

            usually i try to hold off on saying it's a sure bet on success when people are playing with a different position other than a PG(especially PF/C because a post up game might be the better course of action in the beginning) but since you dont fall in that category you should be able to truly use such tips or whatever whimsical method that i find to be effective for my player

            my current statline: i average around 15 apg and usually get 2.1 topg and it's really easy for me to win games(i never had a season in my career where i didnt win more than 80% of my games)...i also have led the league in assists every season thus far so my teammates are making the most of every opportunity i give them....this is all the while im trying to lead the league in other categories as well...so if i was to merely neglect other aspects or stats...my assists could definitely be higher and my turnovers could be lower...which would probably sit unsettled in the stomachs of players who want an authentic and simulated true-to-the-point realistic game....

                  i actually agree with this...it seems like for this experiment you're making the variable of a higher overall cloud your results if anything...like seriously, where's the control group?

                  sure you can say a higher overall(nor that of statistical output) is not correlated to your draft projection but more than a majority of the people who play this game dont have the ability to even be as high as a 70 overall in those combine games let alone in the nba until like +20 games in or so depending on which attributes they boost with skill points

                  if you were to have done this with without the hex edits then maybe the plausibility of your approach would be more worth noting...

                  Basically what I think it is, is this....to get your stock this high...it's not solely the numbers you put up and the A+ teammate rating, but it's HOW you get those numbers and teammate rating. Just getting them isn't enough, you have to play D and also move the ball on offense and score without it being dribble-dribble-drive.
                  this has actually been stated before in this thread even without the repeated trials you have done...

                  in my experience i've gotten A+ ratings every combine game only to see my draft go as high as 8 to the clippers or whoever...

                  but honestly, i could care less for being a highly touted draft pick...if anything i care more about landing on a team that i actually want to play...which is why i purposely tanked my draft projection during my experiment so that i landed in portland...no hex edit needed...i played true to the game's mechanic and flaws

I don't think Blake, LBJ, Wade, DeRozan, etc. learned how to run fast, jump high, and dunk hard once they got to the league.
                  but by the same token, i can say i think it's foolish to compare your player to that of Blake, LBJ, Wade, Derozan, and etc.

                  sure i want my player to have his game modeled after the likes of kobe in terms of his shooting style and shot selection...basically things simliar to what he does in real life...but do i feel a distinguishing and insatiable need to edit my player far beyond the capabilities of the game to make it happen? no

                  if he meant what he said about not taking his player online then i have no problem with it...hell, i dont even play this game online and i know i would get somewhat upset at people who cheese, cheat or whatever you want to call it....but maybe that's just the aggravated part of me coming out when i get snide comments about putting up unrealistic stats(within the restrictions of the game) even in light of such possibilities as hex edits available to other users...

                    haha i feel ya, im a pg for the knicks. starting my second season i bumped up the difficult from pro to allstar. the only difference i can tell is that my teammates now suuuck at scoring which has made it more difficult. i'm avg ~ 10 assists but i'm having to work alot harder at it bc they're missing wide open layups and dunks.

                    i would recommend do what enigma recommended, its alot of what i do also when playing to get my assist numbers up. i dont really run any of the set plays but more of the quick plays b/c i like letting the flow of the game dictate what i'm going todo. i only play 5 min quarters so i dont always get the best pick and roll combos going, i just pull whoever is closest over and tell them to set a pick then depending on who it is, i'll have them pop or roll and try to find them open.

                    i would also recommend mixing up your play bc after a few times of running the pick and roll or certain offensive sets for assists, the computer adjusts the defense. so i make sure to take it to the hole a few times or some step back jumpers depending on what the defense is giving me

                      the lakers is one of the teams that constantly brings a double team when you set up near the wing for a pick and roll...they've always brought gasol out from the paint for help defense....this is done even in the starting minutes of the game so it's not like they were catching on to my method of spamming the pick and roll...a bit annoying because gasol is such a disruptor on defense due to his length

                          I started one with 6'6 SG aiming to be the next Kobe. I choosed athletic because Kobe was pretty athletic himself and my goal was to develop him from there. Of course the rotten Celtics drafted me so i had to start over because i absolutely hate Celtics. The second time the Thunder drafted me. Durant is horrible in this game. He's building houses everytime. His last three games have been like 6/20, 10/30 and 5/18.

                            Durant isnt horrible...i play against him...not easy...

                            Its that this game is made where who ever you play for the people are bad but the AI oppenents still play normal..

                            Pretty much if your not playing pg or big man 2K11 tries to make your guy the star....

                            You could be playing SG for the heat and you would still have to put up 50 plus to win...because this game is weird
