Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

The Insider told me after last game that they would be coming to me for advice on who to trade for. Does this happen in a cut scene or does a menu option open up for that? I haven't been able to find an option for it though and didn't find any posts about it through a simple search.

Also, my player is a PG with the Bucks sitting at 9-11 now. I've only played 13 games cuz I was hurt early in my career for 3 weeks with a sprained ankle. I play on 10 minutes and am averaging 15.5 pts and 2.9 Assts now and have started getting a lot of PT as the 6th man. I actually had moved ahead of Michael Redd on the depth chart then all of a sudden he was starting and I was still 6th. Apparently, they traded John Salmons to the Bulls for a 1st and Kyle Korver. I get most of my time at Point though and they move Jennings over to SG.
The last two games were against the Magic and Heat and both games we should have won. Against the Magic I had 27 points by halftime on 70%+ shooting. Then inexplicably I was benched for a long period of time till about 5 minutes in the fourth. We were winning by 8 at half but were now trailing by 4. Took the lead again and were up by 4 with 30 seconds when I was benched again. Probably a smart move since my free throw shooting isn't that great. Somehow the Magic tied it though and took it to overtime. For some reason I didn't get in the game at all in OT though I had 31pts and 5 assists and held Nelson in check but for some reason I only got to play about 4:30 minutes of the final 25 in a close game!
The Heat game was pretty similar and we ended up losing in the last minute while I sat on the bench despite being the leading scorer and FG%. WTF?!

When they say that, in a couple of games, when you go and press play next game... A screen will come up with all the teams and player prestige by stars... You just highlight them and press X or Start (PS3)

Hey guys,

gotta say that I LOVE this MY PLAYER mode!

I usually only buy a sports game once every 3-4 years, and the last one I bought was NBA 2K9, but when I read that MJ was going to be all over this edition I had to have it (huge Bulls fan). So I didn't get to play last year's MY PLAYER, but I gotta say that this year's version is totally addictive!

I made myself, only I gave myself 13 more inches of height (6'9") and I'm a point forward (haven't seen many people use this style from the posts I'm reading). I got drafted in the 2nd rd 4th pick by the blazers. Started off buried on the bench, and about 25-30 games in I finally got some significant play time (struggled through 3 different ankle injuries early on)...and by the end of the season I became a rookie phenom, got a billboard, got my mag cover, and I led the Blazers all the way through to the finals with the Heat. Won the finals MVP, the ROY, 2nd team all-NBA, and for some reason, the Blazers didn't pick up my team option and I chose to move on to the Chicago Bulls :P

I'm now 30 games into my 2nd season with averages of: 21 ppg 11 rpg 10.5 apg 1 stl 1.5 blk 58% fg 90% ft

My nickname's the monster, and I think my stats show it.

LOVE IT!

I do have some gripes though:

- Sometimes when players foul out, they don't leave! I got Durant to foul out in one close game, and he was still in there and took the last freakin shot. The ball just barely rimmed out, and it would've been the game winner.

- No contract info on your player. 2K should set it up in the future to where you can see your contracts, and even negotiate future ones. I was hoping to ride it out with the Blazers and then use my player option to have the whole nation turn on me during a 1 hour espn special as I tell everyone I'm taking my talents to Chicago.

- I also want some AI tweaks. Pro is too easy, admittedly, but when I go up to higher difficulties my teammates just get progressively worse, and the scores way too unrealistic. I find it hard to believe that a 50 win blazer team can lose by 50 to the thunder on HOF difficulty.

- Does anyone else have trouble with their cpu guard teammates? Andre Miller and Brandon Roy had TERRIBLE seasons as soon as I moved into the starting SF spot. They could barely shoot 30% and were taking insanely stupid shots. I had to call for the ball pretty much every possession in the playoffs it got so bad. I thought it was an isolated incident, but now that I'm with the Bulls, Brewer and Rose are going through the same ordeal.

- I'm sure I'll find more as I go on, but still loving this mode!

try HOF/Sim mode... been playing on that mode for a while and no team has beaten us yet...im with the heat....

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

anyone else have game where you get perfect release on nearly every shot but only about 30% of them drop?

yeah....but luckily for me Kobe was on a hot streak and put up 45, 42, and 37 when my player was in a shooting slump.

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

Not sure if this question has been asked yet but.

Currently I'm a starter for the Knicks, how long or what would it take for my status to change from being a starter to a star?

i have both the ranges of medium shot and 3pt shot maxed out(along with consistency and shooting off dribble) and i usually find myself missing wide open shots....

when that happens...i usually just start driving to the basket with the eurostep so that i can get a blocking foul....works out just fine

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

anyone with a PG that unlocked the milestone where you get 3 steals and 3 blocks?

mmm...I saved and quit the game to sleep, then tried to load it and now its broke...
I doubt it has to do with 3 steals and 3 blocks (even though that was the first time ever for me)...
Ugh...so p*^@** off.

it is actually a joke how often the coaches get sacked, even when your on a 5 game win streak or something stupid

Re: Your Myplayer Career (NBA 2K11)

im on the warriors, and its fun playing with curry and monta(yea i kno it shouldnt be w/ this guy) but david lee is starting at center. they traded biedrins. he gets beat terribly by bigger centers and is just hurting the team in general by playing there. has anyone else had this problem of "short" people playing center?

Being on the Grizzlies, this problem doesn't occur for me often. However, coach decides to be silly sometimes and play Rudy Gay at Power Forward, and you already know how that works out in the western conference. The western conference is stacked with elite power forwards, and seeing Rudy Gay being posted up down low is pretty painful to watch. Dunno why coach wants to go small against a team like the Lakers sometimes, but eh, still loving my Grizzlies.
