Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm the 3rd highest scoring PG in the NBA, 2nd in the EAST, yet I'm not even on the list of East guards getting votes..

I was highest scoring/rebounding/blocking Center in the League, and still 8th. Had LeBum not blown my leg out, I probably would have had a bench spot.

Came back from injury having had the team only lose 3, now playing a key game against Boston my first game back. Update in a bit.

Ok I have to vent a little bit. So when my player was a 68 it felt like I could actually play really well with him. He could actually make shots and do things right to average around a b. Now that he's a 73 abd has improved all attributes it's like I can't do a thing with him. Can't hit any shots or even get assists or boards anymore. We can't win any games that I play when we were able to when he was worse. At this rate by time I get into the 80s he's going to be the worst player in the league. I'm so frustrated and dumbfounded by this. Sorry just had to vent.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I didn't get endorsement anymore. The last one i got is about designing more shoes. All my magazines, posters or commercials (beside designing more shoes) I got are from my 1st season in Suns uniform. I got more shoes when I was at Bulls around all-star break of my 2nd season. Then, I got nothing. Do the game run out off endorsements so that I can't get them anymore? (From my 2nd season to the end of my 3rd season, my popularlities were always above 90.)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So after Winning the Championship in my rookie year with the Celtics Ray Allen retired, KG signed with Twolves(Ironic lol), and Pierce was injured in first game. I quickly asked for a trade out to bulls but ended up going to Thunder who's record is now 6-1(was 2-0 before I got here) Ive played 5 games with them and here goes my stats.

Game 1 vs Cavs We won 112-64
53 Points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 Steals, 1 block

Game 2 vs Nuggets We won 110-90
29 Points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, 2 blocks

Game 3 vs Warriors We lost 101-93
18 Points, 12 Rebounds, 11 assists, 6 Steals

Game 4 vs Raptors we won 121-90
30 Points, 9 Rebounds, 7 Assists, 5 Steals, 1 Block

Game 5 vs Twolves we won 107-102
36 Points, 10 Rebounds, 10 Assists, 6 Steals, 1 Block

So far I like it here even though I didnt want to go here due to being a SF. Durant on the bench =( it makes no sense. On the plus side, after the game vs Twolves I got my shoe deal =)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just bought the game today and finished the rookie showcase as a 6'3, 207 pound 3-PT Specialist Point Guard out of Michigan. Had pretty much a perfect game offensively but did very, very poor against Jimmer and Knight on the defensive side.

19 Points(8-8, 3-3 3PT)
3 Boards
8 Assists
2 Steals
1 Block
0 Turnovers
Gave up 20 points though

Interview number one was from Milwaukee but I don't want to play behind Jennings or eventually force a player like him to be benched. Second interview was the Pistons and even though I grew watching the Pistons, I don't really like them so told them no. Finally the Jazz, I decided to give them decent answers and will see where I am drafted from there. Projected tenth overall to the Bucks

Drafted at #12 overall to the Utah Jazz.

Ok, first game. Couldn't really do a ton but we beat the Rockets at least.

7 points(2-7, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT)
1 Rebound
4 Steals
1 Block
0 Turnovers

Yeah, the bad defense killed your stock. IF you were even average you'd be top 10 lol.

Well, if I had answered the Pistons like I wanted to play there I would have been picked at eight probably but didn't really care about where I went.

Halfway into my rookie season and I just now got my Sports Illustrated cover. I've yet to get a shoe deal ;(

Durant coming off the bench is idiotic. Seems like the AI coach intelligence on all consoles is fooked. At best they would have traded him for good prospects and a decent bench player behind you.

I'm with the sixers, and pretty much have made Brand obsolete, though he and Thaddeus Young grab every board I don't. If we had some shooters (Iggy is blah on pro setting, I'm wondering if I should up the difficulty?) we'd be unstoppable.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Back off the injury, and we are on a 5 game streak.

While I was gone, the team did as follows:

Dal @ Phi: 76-78 Philly
Phi @ Mem: 81-90 Memphis
Phi @ Hou: 85-116 Houston
Phi @ Det: 87-100 Detroit
Cle @ Phi: 93-96 Philly
GS @ Phi: 88-93 Philly
Uta @ Phi: 111-98 Utah

Came back against Boston, a key game for me, we won 61-53. Finally grabbing a win against them as we've lost the previous 2.
I played average, 17 points, 8 boards, 3 blocks, 4 TO's 7-13 shooting in 26 minutes. Holiday gets a mention for grabbing 12 boards and only 1 TO in 26 minutes.

Was @ Phi 60-82 Philly...26 pts, 14 boards, 2 blocks 11-20 shooting 4-5 from the line in 25 minutes for me...John Wall had 14 pts, 7 assists in the loss.

Phi @ Knicks 74-56 Philly...I got my magazine deal after this key game...30 pts, 14 boards, 2 blocks, 3 TO's. 13-18 shooting in 28 minutes....Carmelo(7-19 shooting) had 14 pts, Billups (5-16)put up 12 in the loss. Amar'e was held to 3 of 13 by yours truly...Even had a very nice dunk over Carmelo's head, was a great game for me.

Phi @ Okc 56-55 Philly in a very frustrating game for me....I had the paint on lockdown, yet NOONE would pass me the ball until I was covered. 28 Turnovers in this game. Only reason we won was Westbrook being held to 4 points on 1-9 shooting and 2 from the line

T. Young and Iggy were top scorers for us, both with 13 pts. I put up 12 points, 10 boards on 3-10 shooting ;( I just could not get it going, was pretty frustrated though so I'm sure I hurried shots and took some I shouldn't have....Durant put up 18 pts and 10 boards in the loss, Perkins had 10 pts, 12 boards.

We are now 37-27, 5th seed, 13.5 behind the Heat for first place. We made absolutely no moves before the deadline, though they asked my opinion TWICE in TWO days before it hit. I am praying for Holiday to get hurt, perhaps for the season, or for life, so that Williams and Nocioni will get more PT. Williams is clutch and Nocioni has been a 3pt hero this season.

Nuggets move Al Harrington, '12 2nd rounder to Suns for Pietrus (wth?)
Pacers move Josh McRoberts to Grizzlies for Haddadi (again, wth?)
Rockets move Jordan HIll, Hasheem Thabeet to Cavs for Varejao and Samih Erden.

Same thing for me dude.. 3pt specialist PG drafted to Utah. I'm 6-3, 190..I dont know if this is how all My Players are, or if it's just Utah, but they keep playing me at SG and it's pissing me off. It seems like I always get extended time at SG when we're playing teams with elite SG's..like I spent most of the game against the Heat and Lakers at SG guarding Kobe and Wade..you can imagine how that went.

Lakers were my first key game and we actually won, although I'm growing frustrated in Utah. The substitution patterns suck and I usually always sit for the entire 4th quarter. We just lost to the Spurs where we were down 10 at half, I come in the third and get 6 points, 4 assists and two steals in 7 minutes, to bring us within 2, then I sit for the entire 4th? I consider that an extreme accomplishment considering I'm finding it nearly impossible to get assists on that team because nobody can hit a jumper.

So far I'm averaging 17.3 PPG on 47% from the field..3 assists, 2 steals and 3 rebounds.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

ok so im in my third season and after a game the reporter asks me about talks of being traded. so after i go and check the rumor area and i start scrolling and i see that magic johnson is on the rumor mill. now im not sure if this is a glitch or what but it shows magics actual picture and it just has a nba logo instead of a team logo.
