Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Is there a way to unlock new crossovers? I remember in 2K11 with a high enough ball handling rating you unlock new ISO and sizeup moves. Speaking of which did they remove the ball handling attribute? Will increasing my ball security unlock any new moves?

I think you just work on the abilities for it to be more effective. You probably wont get any new moves, it will work more. But 10+K XP is alot too save up unless you get big milestones

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I was wondering if others are having this problem.

I made a 6'1" point guard (3pt Specialist) and was drafted by the Rockets. It seems they are using me as a combo guard mostly as I get more minutes at the 2 than 1. This I don't have a problem with, but the number of small ball lineups the team uses bothers me.

Over half of the game is played with either Terrance Williams or Kevin Martin at the 4.

I would imagine this has to do with the amount of minutes they are trying to allocate to all of the wing players and guards as Houston has a ton. (Williams, Martin, Lee, Budinger, Flynn, Lowry, my player, and Dragic)

I've requested a trade hoping to fix this but i was wondering if anyone has seen this mode overuse small ball lineups.

The same sort of thing happened to me on the Knicks after a season but I haven't requested a trade yet.

I think our roster is (I'll edit later if I'm wrong):

PG: Me (starter), Baron Davis (6th man), Jeremy Lin (bench), A.Edwards (scrub 2nd round rookie, 53 ovr.)
SG: Shannon Brown (starter), Bill Walker (role), Gabriel Brand (1st rounder, 67 ovr., role player)
SF: Melo, Balkman, etc.
PF: Stat
C: Chandler

Yeah so no depth at PF/C and a few times a game I have to go in at PF, only to have the CPU to pass to the PF and post up on me (5'11", 6'0" or so) the whole time, which in turn sometimes makes me lose skill points when they score, which I can't really help.

I don't really know why they even drafted Edwards when we already had 3 PGs last year..

I don't think you will get new moves to, all the abilities are expensive, sucks.

I want to make a LeBron clone, any ideas??
I want to bring up the ball and create?
Wat play styles nd wat shall i spend my skill points on?

I'd say do athletic SF

Skill points should be spent on:

Speed-95
Quickness-99
Inside game-99
Passing-75 (if possible go more)
Dunking-99
Layup-90
Midrange-85
3 pt-80
On ball d-95
Strength-95
Low post offense-80 (he improved it a lot this year)
Defensive rebounding- 85
Offensive rebounding-60
Vertical-95
Offensive clutch-10 jk should be around 95 since his fg percentage inside 2 minutes is ridiculous, he also put a dagger on bulls and celtics last year and beat the pistons by himself to reach finals in I think 05

Defensive clutch-99

Consistency-99- always scores double figures

Steal-90

Block- 80

Close range game- 80

Free throws- 75

Dribbling- all good, and off hand dribbling 85

Other abilities- shooting should be all good, post moves average.

Forget other skills on top of my head

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So are stupid trades a common problem in MyPlayer mode? I am in my 7th game against the Clippers and see Raymond Felton and no CP3 or Billups on the roster, so my guess is that after the game I will see some awful trade that makes no sense.

Wow, my team sucks without me losing 104-103 to Clippers after taking me out and I have no idea how I don't get player of the game with my stats. Dropped 38 points, 6 rebounds, 9 dimes, 7 steals and a block but turned it over five times which is pathetic but still should have gotten player of the game. My only guess is that it went to Blake who had 33p, 13r, 3a, 3s with only a single turnover.

Ok, looked after the game Paul was just injured with a sore back but the Clippers did trade Billups/Williams for Felton/Nolan Smith after signing Chauncey to a two year, $9.66M dollar deal.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Very.
I dont suggest trying to getting it until you work on key ratings 1st. But it is worth it. I think you shouldnt think about saving up to one until you are close to breaking a few big milestones.
That is what I did. I waited until I broke a few big milestones until I started saving up for a ability. When you started saving up for something big, small flaws show up and make you hesititate about saving up. For Example, I was saving up for Post Hook for my PF and Stepback Jumper for my SG. I havent touched Ball Security for either and didnt have a problem with TOs. But when I was saving up, I started having problems with TOs.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Eight games into my small forward's career and we are 5-3 and moved up to Superstar/Sim before my last game and we lost 101-98 with me filling up the stat sheet again. Got signed with the Jordan Brand and got my "Where Amazing Happens" commercial. Thinking I will get my first start within the next game or two.

I think I need to put all points from the next few games into my free throw. I am 3-11 from the line right now. On pro/default I could hit fine about 75 percent but it's like I can't hit that perfect release anymore or even make a slightly off release either since the bump up to superstar/sim.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just looked at my minutes and saw I am now the starting small forward for the Rockets. we are 6-5 after a loss to the Mavs where I had five blocks.

My stats before getting my first start
29.9 points per game(3rd in NBA), .589 FG%(1st in NBA), .646 FT%
6.5 rebounds per game(65th in NBA)
3.6 assists per game(43rd in NBA)
2.4 steals per game(5th in NBA)
1.5 blocks per game(15th in NBA)
2-Time Player of the Week

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Quick question: I cannot find this info anywhere.....

In 2k11 you could influence management trades and free agent signings. I am 1/3rd of the way done with my 3rd year. Was an all star in season 2. Have 100 in teammate chemistry and they don't ask me like they did in 2k11. Any idea if it happens or when?

I am with the Bucks and we have 4 PGs (I am one also) and 4 SGs on the roster. Very unbalanced and we get destroyed on the boards.

Thanks for the info and when I should expect management to come to me.

Anyone? Been asking for a week...

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I feel so stupid. I spent alot of XP on getting Stepback Jumper to Great and I didnt realize that I was doing the wrong thing. The only thing I was doing was doing a stepback and shoot. I should of boosted Stepback Dribble Ability. I dont like that we dont get back the same amount of XP if we subtract it. So, I brought Stepback Jumper to Poor. I maxed out On-Ball D and gotten Steal to 87. Which is a good thing. I will get Steal to 90. then work on Vertical then Def Off. Then Shot Med to 90. Then Ball Security.

id say start pumping points on inside game (inside shot to 99, dunk (make it 80 for now, then save up 4 mil for lebron dunk package, layup to 80-90

have like an 80 midrange and 65 3 pt (he wasnt as good of a shooter his rookie year) and 90+ consistency off the bat

also max out vertical, and shot in traffic, and get passing to 75 +

since ur starting out as athletic sf, your athletic skills such as speed, quickness, etc should be high enough for starters

i would get speed to 95 and quickness to 99 as soon as all other skills on top are taken care off

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Anyone? Been asking for a week...

2K Officially said that u can if u become long term super star on the team. (responsed email or something like that from 2k staffs somebody posted here and some other forums a while back) It will be an option on "My Trade, the same that you request urself to be traded"However, no one ever find that as far as i know. No clip on youtube and no one on several boards i read find that option. I myself being on my 5th season, superstar rate 99, long term contract and have all buzz rates at 100 still cant find that option. I think may be a glitch or 2k staff day-dreaming for sth they forget to put in the game. Same like many stupid glitches and bugs that still left unresolve.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So disgusted by my first game as a starter. Really just an awful game but you guys might not think so with the stat line I had and we lost to the T-Wolves 108-101. I took way to many shots, was completely careless with the ball and just couldn't play defense.

My stat line was 42 points(14/34, 0/1 3PT, 14-17 FT), 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks with a terrible 6 turnovers and 5 fouls. My two main match-ups were Beasley and Williams who had 20 and 21 points. I was just feeling like crap that whole game after all the turnovers and not being able to stop those two.
