Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So I made a 6'8" SF that I'm trying to mold into the next LeBron James...

And I got drafted by the Knicks! I was so excited to play for my home team even though I'll be at best 3rd fiddle for a long while. But I thought that would be okay, since I can just up playmaking attributes so I can make things happen for Melo and Stat...

2 months in, Stat gets trade to TBlazers for Aldridge and Oden

I guess it's not terrible, we get an amazing defense/rebounding center and another all-star caliber PF, but I wanted to play with Stat

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I made a 7'0 250 lb athletic center and got drafted by my favorite team, the sixers. I really like playing in the post, so I'm using pretty much all my skill points toward the post shot abilities. It's stating to pay off too, as I had my first twenty point game vs the knicks.
I have noticed some crazy trades my team has made as jrue holiday, Lou Williams, spencer hawes, Thad young and others have turned into Nick batum jarret Jack, patrick Peterson, Carl landry and nate Robinson.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

About ready to abandon this mode.

Playing on Pro, 12 min. quarters, Sim -- I'm a SG.

Drafted by the 76ers. We not only can't win a game, we get blown out every game. I'm talking 30 point losses to the Clippers blown out.

CPU never misses. My player is barely involved in the offense. I feel like the awful kid on the playground that just gets to run up and down the court. And when a play does get called for me, I can't run around the court without getting suctioned into other players. Running a play where my player is supposed to cut through the paint for a curl? How about I stop 14 times on my trip to try to post up Blake Griffin for literally no reason.

Not only is it frustrating, I'm not finding it nearly as much fun as last year's.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does anyone know what attributes you get for going to each camp?

How often are the important games if you play on them? I have been playing every game due to fear of missing most of the season if I choose the other option.

Are there any attributes that are a must / bust in your opinion for a center?

I am curious to what the hustle stat adds as well as the emotion? Can anyone help with either of these two?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm only three games into My Player. Out of my two saves, I decided to play out the one where I play for my favorite team. However, if what everyone is saying is true and I end up with a team that's no longer Houston due to an abundance of stupid trades, I'm wondering if I should keep playing this, or stick with the Bobcats save.

I'm already having issues with everyone playing out of position. I play the backup 4 (I'm a 3-2), Courtney Lee and Kevin Martin often play the 1, Budinger and Williams often play CENTER!? It's a mess in Houston, lol. It messes me up when icon passing because I know this team so well, and I get turnovers accidentally passing to the wrong guy due to no one playing their real position. Scola is also an exclusive 5 and gets no time at the 4.

In Charlotte I had more plays ran for me and it seemed the offense ran through me more. We also had a more traditional team with people playing their proper positions. I had more fun in Charlotte, but the Rockets are my team! I guess I'll ride it out in Houston and hope that as I get better things will get easier. I'm also hoping Williams and Bud get traded for a decent 5 and the rotation becomes more normal. I'm keeping the Bobcats file just in case.

Some questions... can we play with imported, updated, altered, etc. rosters that include rookies? (still hasn't been answered).

And, are there skill caps based on your player type like last year? If not, and I can max out everything, I might be athletic to start since Speed is so expensive to upgrade. However, I hope there are caps because I liked that last year. I already noticed there's no correlation between height and skill like last year which sucks.

Maybe you could make another save for your Rockets one for a backup?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm a 6'6'' shooting guard (three-point specialist), I got drafted by the Knicks and thought things were going to be rosy but so far I'm getting a little ticked at all the Melo isolations and lack of ball movement...

There are some games where I just don't get enough touches to get quality stats :-/...

With that being said the mode has been a ton of fun. I just came off a 15 pt 3 reb 3 ast 6 to (don't ask ) game but it was easily my best of the season because I essentially closed the game out and managed to shut Kobe Bryant down in the fourth.

edit: Can someone explain the ATTRIBUTES to me? Does upgrading them mean you're better at converting those types of shots? Or that you can perform more moves? Or something else entirely?

TBH it sucks, lol. I used Athletic play type as a base, and couple with the fact that all my scoring ratings suck, I don't get ANY touches at all on the Knicks, haha. Melo Iso all day.

If you are going to make any perimeter player, u should probably make a 3 Pt specialist, and play like durant. they get ratings of 80 in Mid and 3pt, so that seems like more fun to start.
