Man, I love being a 7'0 center constantly being out jumped and out rebounded by my own and opposing guards who are only like 6'1 to 6'4.

Then get your vertical up higher.

I have it maxed for my center(which is only 65) but still shouldn't be getting half my rebounds stolen by Curry or Ellis.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Man, I can not score at all on the Hornets Bigs. Every single time, I go up for a shot I am getting blocked or missing completely, I mean I have about 8 rebounds and 4 blocks myself but only 3 points, post game is not working at all right now.

Also, I hate getting turnovers because of three second violations because I can't get out of a forced animation in the paint.

That used to happen to me often and I'd be screaming at the game lol.

I figured a way around that if it happens and you get "stuck". Just use the screen/set pick button (B on the 360 / O on the PS3). You can actually walk slowly while still in this animation and get out of traffic.

I am having problems too with my PF. I maxed out his vertical(80) and got Off/Def rebound to 85.
I think you need to boost your quickness. I had more consistent success rebounding with my PG because he is quicker. I hadnt even improved his vertical yet, but his speed and quick allows him to get rebounds.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

That is an awsome fuggin game, how many minutes? and on what setting

I think I had like 35-38 minutes. I play on Pro right(yeah I know), but before I get flamed, I don't play that much and am not that great right now. This difficulty is what seems to give me a good balance for now(despite this crazy stat line-exception not rule). I think after a few more games I'll bump up the difficulty. I was playing on the next difficulty and was getting completely destroyed, so I'm planning on working my way up until I can handle the harder difficulties. One thing I seem to notice is as the difficulty goes up the AI doesn't get better, my team gets worse.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does anyone know the approriate or acceptable heights for each position so that you can get the greatest amount of skill points per game?

Ex. I noticed a PG at 6'3 gets +38 pts per shot made whereas a PG ar 6'5 gets +32 pts. I know it isn't much of a difference but it's some information I'd certainly like to know.

Thanks in advance!

well the shorter you are, the more skill points you get. this is so there is a good reason to not make every player max height. so technically to get the most skill points make him the shortest possible. but i would NOT recommend this, since if you make your PG like 5'7 or your C like 6'7 you will have a huge disadvantage in about every aspect of the game. i recommend for a PG going between 6'1-6'4, a SG between 6'4-6'6, a SF between 6'7-6'10, PF between 6'9-7'0, C between 6'11-7'3.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I wanted to ask a question of you guys. I only started a my player as a PG. I've usually played a C in 2k11 and will start one up too.

My question is this: If you are listed as combo guard, i.e. PG/SG will your team eventually start you at either position or on ever at your primary position (in this case PG)?

My player is 6'5 and was drafted by the Knicks. I wanted to create another Iman Shumpert type player (since he is fast becoming my fav Knick) in the hope that eventually the Knicks start both of us. Or at least I get a start alongside Baron Davis once I improve enough.

Any help would be excellent, either by post or PM would do. Cheers.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Ok, the coach programming in MP is just awful. I am playing a PG I remade who was drafted by the Bobcats. Fourth quarter, we are down by about twelve after a bucket by the Bucks so I call a timeout to kill the momentum they had going. That is when it turned in "Me" time, played solid defense and played selfish basketball got me three straight buckets followed by a some big boards and assists then a few more buckets that force them to call a time out with us only down two points with six minutes left.

AND what happens? I get pulled and we lose 90-88.

No idea why you would take out a player who is obviously taking the game over but whatever, I guess I got mine that game. 22 Minutes, 26 points, 4 boards, 8 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

Do upgrading your attributes (or whatever there called) really help? Talking about like stepbackjumper and those things

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Rebounding is all about position I've found out. I have the same problem with Brand and Holiday taking rebounds right out of my hands, when I jump 3 feet higher <.<

My vert is only at 60, but my 7'5" wingspan has to be almost 4 feet. As long as I am somewhere close, I usually pick up the board.

Here lately I've just been getting BoxOut SP and letting Brand grab boards. It's been setting up fast breaks alot and we are scoring alot more as a team.

Abilities "Help", but only so much you still need to raise your ratings. Also, the way 2K has this game programmed, if your shooting and consistency ratings are high doing the step back animation will get your player open and you won't have to put skill points into that ability yet.

I want to create speedy claxton in my nba 2k12 can someone help me with this so I can get the most authentic version of him as possible. Thanks in advance.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I don't know what happened, but I like it....on a 6 game win streak, tied with Boston for the 2nd seed with 10 games left. 12 and 2 so far this month with back-to-backs against washington and atlanta to round out the month.

My team DOES play defense!?!?! Over the last 6 games the team as a whole has 50 steals and 100 blocks (50'ish from yours truly). They are passing much better and looking for the open man, though williams and Holiday still take way too many crazy jumpers. If we can keep the #2 seed, we'll breeze through the first 2 rounds, but we have 2 vs Orlando, 1 against Boston, and 1 more against Miami before the season ends. Keeping my fingers crossed.
