Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just had my best game of my young career against the Celtics with my PG after boosting key ratings in a loss. I had 13 pts, 3 assists, 8 rbs, abd 2 steals. But, I still shot poorly. It seems like it is forcing me to boost consistency. I got my 500th point in that game. I got my Steal and On-Ball D to 81.
I got selected to go to Rookie/Soph game as a starter. Surprising, since I had a overally average year at best(only 9.8 pts). Kyrie is avg 14 and 5 assists. But Im not complaining.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Despite my best performance yet(also setting a few milestones), my SEVEN turnover game caused us to lose in the Rookie/Soph game. I had 18 points(9/16), 5 assists, 6 rbs, 3 steals, and a block. If I can cutdown the TOs(mostly bad passes) and perform the same way, I think I can contribute alot and make a name for myself.
I am mainly just playing key games. I dont want to become starter so soon.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I got steal to 85, On-Ball D to 82, Quickess to 83, and Speed to 84. Those should help me on defense. I will stop boosting Steal and On-Ball D, once I get to 90(depending on how much it costs). I want to boost Ball Security, but it costs too much. I will boost Consistency alone till I get to 80 next. Then Ball Security alone. Then some small stuff(Vertical, Layup, Awareness)

What's needed is a Punch the coach button.. We were up on the Rockets by like 20.. Walking away with it in the 4th, then the brilliant coach decides to take me from PG to SF and put both Jameer and Duhon in the game.. Like wtf I had 31 points and 5 Rebs and Assists, we lose because the offense sucks with them in there.. I can't do everything, wow.. It's getting annoying how the game plays on minutes and not player performance

Are you guys watching the team play when you sit on the bench, or just simming? For some reason, watching them for at least a couple possessions makes a difference in the scoring. At least, in my experience.

This is gonna sound ironic in a way, but maybe stop worrying so much on scoring and try getting the others involved. The team has to be in a rhythm, and you have to get guys involved. Especially Dwight, as it opens things up for you guys. Pick your spots when you get them The Magic are most effective when there are a number of guys in double digit scoring. Team chemistry plays a part as well. This is from my experience, but I never had a problem winning, and I was on the Rockets in my first one, when I worried about the assists and making good team plays, over getting mine on the offensive end. A big game isn't bad by any means, but take it as it comes, don't go Kobe on em and force it .

When I'm subbed out I'll watch the game for awhile. Mostly because I have other things to do. I've noticed that while I'm resting on the bench, the game calls a lot more fouls than usual.

Well I mean I care more about winning than scoring, like against Dallas I gt my first double double, 11 points and 11 assists.. I finished with 7 assists in that Rockets game.. But when Jameer goes in at PG, he slows the offense way down, he has a lot of empty possessions and makes DUMB decisions.. Plus he can never guard the opposing PG..

That's weird, how many minutes do you average a game? I've seen (from my PG's point of view) my CAP walk to the scorer's table waiting to be subbed in.

Well on the Team minutes page, 41 minutes.. But I've played 44-47 in all but one game in the last 15.. And that one I played 40

I think play style could be a factor (maybe the team wants a pass first something in most of the time) The only other time I was subbed in quickly off the bench was when the guards got into foul trouble, but I was a starter then too, so I really don't know what's going on. Only thing I can think of is (if you want) watch the game from the bench until it starts to get either become a blow out or gets close, then press the button to get back in. I rarely get subbed out so I really don't know. Maybe try making a 1-2 punch with someone, I'm ALWAYS on the court with Melo so when he's out, so am I.

I'm the only consistent player, even Dwight gets a good break.. But the coach isn't smart at lineup choices.. And it's frustrating

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just got On-ball D to 85. I will stop at 90. I can already feel the change. I have a 80 defense grade(A- Perimeter D) and 71 Offense. I havent seen as much steals(85) since I been playing key games. I will boost Ball Security before Consistency. I shot 54% last game, so I can focus on
ball security. I can get bumped and lose the ball.
