Finished the game with 21 but my scoring average took a MAJOR hit

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My PG is having a really difficult time shooting, even though he has 86 Shot Med. It could be 91(with shoes), But I am using Quickness shoes. I am missing HIGH percentage shots. I would go to the basket more, since I have 85 Shoot in Traffic. But, my FT is low. I just had a 6 rb game. Once I get my Shot med to 88, I should make more jumpers.
I will get Pass to 80(75). I really need to get FT up, I might boost it to 80. I will work on On-Ball D and Steal. I really like playing on 76ers. They dont have the shooters, but they are a defensive team. Once I get my Defense up, we will be a elite defensive team.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I hate how my AI teammates (I'm on the Heat and we still have Wade and LeBron) miss easy baskets but the opposing teams make baskets with poor shot quality (C and below)

This X10. It is so frustrating especially with me playing with the Rockets. We get behind every game, then I would have to score, and score, and score some more to bring us back. Then the cpu will start making jumpshots with poor shot quality, but my teammates will miss wide open shots. Next thing you know we are down by 15

Oh and before I forget Brandon Jennings was injured so it kind of (for me) puts a damper on the milestone. I like setting milestones against teams at full strength.

your missing shots because of three things you can't control

hotspots
shot quality
defenders standing there without putting their hands thats considered being contested.

Shot Quality is usuallly good(sometimes I rush it). I usually call screens to get open.
Is there a way to show Hotspots? I think last year you can show it by presses L3. If anything, I will go in Shootaround in see where I make the most shots.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I dont want to start over Dru Holiday. IF anything, I wouldnt mind taking the SG spot over Turner or Holiday take the SG spot. I really like how Holiday play. If I can get my Defense up(steal and On-Ball D), We can have one of the best PG/SG/SF defensive trios. Since Holiday and I are both 6'4, we can guard the 1 and 2 and have the possiblity to guard the 3.
After I get Shot Med to 88-90(using shooting drill), I will start doing Dribble Course. I will work on Defense after I get FT up.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

best team to play for a 6'4 cutter/slasher/atlethic 2 guard to play on. I want to a guard who is excellent with off ball offense. However need a team that will fit my style.

It also could be the shot timing

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I finished the 3rd game with the Thunder. We are 0-3 we got blown out by at least 15+ all 3 games. It's descraseful after the 5 games is up I'm definitly requesting a trade out of their. On opening day, I finished with 5 points, and 5 rebounds. Got 3 rebounds in the first 2 minutes of my apperance. Went 1/2 from the line that game. Got all my points and rebounds in the 1st half,could not get the ball or score in the 2nd half. The Lakers were just scoring and scoring, and we couldn't get the ball to fall. In my 2nd game as a Thunder, we got blown outby the Suns 98-82. In that game again I had 7pts, and 5rebounds, all coming in the first half. I sat the whole 3rd Q, but when they brought me in in the 4th with about 5:30 left they ignored me and wouldn't give me the ball. I was calling for the ball, and they wouldn't give me the rock. I was so pissed of after that game yesterday. Now in my 3rd game with the Thunder I just finished an hour ago, we lost to the Pacers 108-88. This game was easily the best game of Richardson's career. He had 10pts, 5rebounds, 2assists, 1block. Blake did great from the post scoring 3 baskets from post moves. He hit 2/2from the line. he did great, had a teamate grade of A. OUr team couldn't get anything going. My average teamate grade now is B. Now we need to come off of this 3 game slid to start the year.

Do you have any advice/tips on drills? I just got the game on Dec 26th so Im fairly clueless. Ive done the shooting drill twice with my PG and passed both times got some skill points but it improved clutch or something, do your drills improve the attributes you want or you mean youll improve through drills via the skill points? I also did the dribbling drill but that cardboard player locked me down and I couldnt get by him.

Shot Timing is usually on time for me. Sometimes I rush it, but most of times it is well timed.

I usually turn off Auto-save and keep re-doing the Drill over till I get a rating I like. Mainly because some of the attributes are very-expensive and I use drills to boost them. I use the Skill points from drills on other stuff.
As far as Dribble Course, there is a Youtube by Smoove saying to just do the half-spin once you hit the 3 pt line. It works as long as you do the Half-spin at the right time.
