Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

1 thing you should notice. I'm quite sure 2k didn't fix this yet.

In MP mode (I heard in create a legend as well), the lottery pick means nothing in my player mode no matter how bad your team are. The lottery will always go to the team by alphabetical order.

Meaning that 76ers will always get first overall draft because it is the first team on alphabetical order (It doesn't begin with letter and 2k listed it as a first one on team list).In 2013 they got 1st overall draft and in 2014 as well. Bulls with letter "B" got 4th overall pick in both 2013 and 2014. (Bobcats will always get 2nd overall and Bucks will get 3rd overall)

Cavs got 5th overall on both 2013 and 2014 while Celtics got 6th overall on both 2013 and 1014 too. (if I remember correctly)

Then, Wizards is the worst one since they will always get the last draft right since the team name begin with "w" and it was listed behind Warriors. (Wa before Wi)

Same goes for 2nd round pick: 76ers will get 1st round, 1st pick and 2nd round, 1st pick) while Bulls will get 1st round, 4th pick and 2nd round, 4 pick every year.

The latest patch didn't fix it so as the game progress, 76ers will dominate since they got first overall pick every year. (means they get super RC at the age 20-22, rating 75+ or even 82+ every year. Their rating may be drastically higher when they grow and make some improvements. I guess some may even reach 90+ or 95+)

By the way, I only have 9 steals left to complete my HOF progress. However, only 1 match left in the regular season so too bad I think I have to wait until next season to get my HOF trophy. (Unless I manage to get 9 steals or more on my last game of the season somehow)

Looks like this is true. I play on the 76ers and we got the #1 OVR pick

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Since Chris Paul signed with the Cavs, I asked for a trade there and got it. Which made me definitely want to go ther . I come there as a starter in my second season.
The Lineup is:
PG-Me
SG-L.Fields(signed in FA)
SF-Butler
PF-Griffin
C-Humphries(FA)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Thanks to acheiving my 100th steal in a key game,got 7000+ XP. I got Consistency to 85. I will stop there. I am closing in on 1000 career points(8 points) and 250 rbs(6). Since I have 3 straight Key Games(1 against 76ers), I can get. IF I can get both of them. I can have a 10K XP game. I should be able to get Ball Security to 85. I will stop there. Then I will boost FT, Shoot in Traffic, and Layup. I have 5 drills. I have a good feelin about this year. Hopefully with my Consistency at 85, I can be shoot better.

Question, if you only play key games do you not get any points for the skipped regular games?

Why go to the Cavs; more than likely Chris Paul is going to get traded because he isn't going to get the playing time he deserves, considering you also play PG. Do you and CP3 ever play on the court together?

No. But, you get points from milestones.

CP3 signed there as a FA. For what reason, I dont know(with Irving). Since he left, I had to go there. I can get a ton of assists there.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

How do I get subbed in the game if I watch instead of sim? I usually play most of the game, except for like a minute or 2, but if I watch the game I won't get subbed.. Why?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Like he said, It doesnt matter how good or bad your team does, you are locked into draft spots. Even though I could of stay with 76ers and had a loaded team every year, I didnt want to stay and start over Holiday. Wash did horrible but had the 30th pick.
That mean Suns will pick 25th. So that means, my PF wont have any good talent coming in.

Thanks, I see now, I did skip over the lineup. That would have cleared it up lol.

I got traded for Bledsoe and a 1st rounder. Hopefully we can get a 1st rounder back.
The main thing I dont like about the draft is not if a player is not in top 5, then he is lowly rated and will not able able to contribute;

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just looked at the league leaders stats and stuff.. I lead in 3s made 127, in minutes played 1394 in 38 games, Dwight Howard is second at 1348.. Most games played in the league, 38.. Only person at 38 btw..

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Since teams are locked into draft spots no matter how good or bad they do, I wont stay with Suns are my contract is up unless we pick up someone good. In my PG MP, Both Brown and Pietrus left. I wont ask for trade though.
Seeing that, I dont want to go to a team that will never draft well since their alphabetical name. I dont want to go to a team that will always draft well either. So, I will try to go to that will be in the 5-10 range
