Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just got my "Where Amazing Happens", and the first segment (Where Draft Happens) is broken, at least on PC. It gets all horrible graphics. The rest of it was pretty damn f'ing cool, though.

Hell yeah!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

is any PF, or centers out there struggling to get rebounds?

I have pg who out rebound me or jump over me for rebounds like wtf

I was at first as well. On top of your Rebound attributes, don't forget to pump points into Vertical. Mine was very low and since pumping points into that, I'm getting better. Well, that, and learning to time my jumps and locations better. You definitely can't just spam the jump button.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm a C drafted by the Pacers and loving it. Only a couple of games in (but thinking about requesting a trade sometime in the future to my childhood team, the Blazers).

My problem is that I get the ball so little on offense that when I finally do, I get all excited and forget all the moves I know. It's almost a "crap, crap, I have the ball, what do I do? what do I do?" type of moment .

But I'm definitely finding the whole post game and rebounding aspect of Center to be extremely fun . This mode rocks!

Though I find myself really laughing when I get subbed in at Power Forward. LOL, against the Thunder, I found myself guarding Durant. Every time he had the ball (almost), I found myself going "crap, crap, crap, crap". LOL. Most intense moments yet very rewarding to shut him down on a possession or two .

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does anyone know what attributes you get for going to each camp?

How often are the key games if you play on them? I have been playing every game due to fear of missing most of the season if I choose the other option.

Are there any attributes that are a must / bust in your opinion for a center?

I am curious to what the hustle stat adds as well as the emotion? Can anyone help with either of these two?

I play on All-Star and it's honestly impossible for me to get above a "B" team rating. Ha it's crazy hard. I'm the PG.

I'll post the full list in a post soon, I think I have 10mill cash.

Same as 2K11 it seems, so it varies a bit, but anywhere from 10 to 20 a season, I|d guess.

Make your player really good at one post move, at least, so you have a Go To move on offense.

Hustle is for picking up loose balls. Does very little for a human controlled player, it appears to me.

Emotion is your reaction to calls, etc. Only visual, since there's no T's in the game. But in 2K11 I put 99 emotion on my C, and he kept jumping around and screaming every time he got a call against him, so it certainly does something.

No to both, kinda. It seems that there are no caps in Create A Player, which means I'd have to actually have to make the SF's and get all the skill points to max out. That'd take days

As for Rookies, even the generated rookies aren't actually in game. I know people are working on a proper roster with them now though. But yeah, right now, in My Player, there's a grand total of 3 Rookies. So ...

Ah do this year there are no caps on skills like in 2k11 i.e. like how last year MyPlayer my Athletic Small Forward maxed out at 85 3 point shot, this year you can go all the way up to 99 for example?

There are caps in My Player, yes. I just don't know what they are. You can buy a +5 increase to caps with money.

Ok so theoretically you can increase these caps infinitely until you can put 99 into every stat? Unless you can only increase by 5 a finite amount of times or something. Also I assume you went by seasons how much does that 83 Potential help? I remember last year with 50 Potential you might see a 3-4 point increase a season how does 83 translate?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I started over. I needed to make someone that's better suited for my playing style. So, I chose a face up PF. 6'10, 266lbs drafted by the Knicks. I'm super happy. I finally get to play with a PG that can actually create and make shots.

Hopefully Melo don't iso every single possession.

I don't know if it can be upgraded more than once, I haven't bought any cap upgrades yet. I'm at 91 OVR, and don't feel like rushing to 99.

I didn't know Potential affected that, so I have to admit I don't remember. I always thought that was a bug in 2K11 actually

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Is there any setting to lower the "suckem"?

The "suckem" could be defined as when your my player runs through 1 or more opposing players and gets sucked into collision or post up animation, thus preventing you to move to your desired location on the floor.
