Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I made a new MP. I was a SG but I couldnt get the shot to drop even though i had perfect release. Im a better big anyway.

6-10
240 LBS
Oregon State
Faceup

College AS game- 24 pts, 13 Rebs, 2 Ast, 2 Blks

I interviewed with Phoenix and I said I wanted to play there and be their center piece.

Then Utah interviews me. I tell them I hate their players and city, lol. It's true i do.

Then Indy interviews me. I tell them I like them and would even be down to be a role player.

I thought Phoenix would take me but they dont, I knew Utah would pass and Indy took me #15.

My first 13 games I came off the bench but was the teams second leading scorer 13.8 ppg and leading rebounder 8.3 rpg that was in 18 mpg. game 14 i got my first start and havent looked back. I'm now averaging 16 and 9. Working on my defense and getting assists, A lot of guys dribble too much!!!

I'm loving the my player at PF though

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

yes i guess you could say that but my entire goal is too be the greatest player of all time so i pretty much have the ball in my hand all the time even though i am a center, and that was a playoff game so it doesnt even count as breaking wilts record, my previous high was 91

Hello to all....

New to OS thanks to this thread! i can HONESTLY say i have read all 214 pages (up to this point obviously). i seem to be having a lot of down time while at work lately, so i use that time to visit here and keep up with all of your players, tips, suggestions and such.. i started my player right after Christmas and not long after, came across this thread... so here is some info of how my player is coming along....

6'7" 220lb scoring SG.
Drafted 14th by the Rockets but about 35 games in I requested a trade and got sent to the Mavs for Odom and Kidd.
Averages:
22.2 ppg/4.1 rbg/5.2 apg/1.8 bpg
.47% fg/.48% 3pt/.85% ft
Overall currently sits at a 70, 40 games into rookie season. (playing every game with 9 min quarters)

As of right now im just focusing on my shot attributes and defense. Have my med shot at 99 (+5 from KD shoes) and slowly working on my 3pt, shot inside and so on. After i get all those to a point im happy with, im going to start dumping all my points into getting my dunk up to par

I've only made one player and i really wanna make another! however - and this is where i was hoping to get help from some of you - when i go to the new MP menu, it automatically sends me to the screen where you choose the vitals, general, head, hair, etc..

my question... is there anyway to choose a new "body mold" or body type? (if i remember correctly, when i started my first MP, the first thing i did was choose my "body type" there was maybe 24 different looking players in a big circle and you scrolled through and selected what one you want to START with) i might be crazy or just plain dumb, but if someone can give me some insight, it would be greatly appreciated!

PS: because i read ALL pages, i KNOW this question hasn't been asked 489 times! haha! thanks ahead of time to those who are willing to help!

104 points?

Ballhog much?

104 points with 1 assist. And a 7'2" that isn't Top 10 in rebounds or blocks. Everything else is nice for his MP though...

That body type is probably the My 2K online feature where you choose your avatar.

6'5" 208 lb. PG
Drafted 17th overall by the Knicks.

30.1 MPG/20.2 PPG/10.3 APG/1.2 BPG
48.9 FG%/36.5 3PT%/83.2 FT%

2nd APG/15th PPG/20th BPG/10th 3PM/

18-12; 4th EAST

I'm only a 65 OVR 30 Games into my Rookie Season. We were at one time T-1st in the East at 13-7 but horrible PG play from me in terms of TO put us on a 0-5 skid. We bounced back and have won 5 in a row now, with the last 4 wins totalling nearly a 70-point margain.

My PG is a pass-first PG but his jump shot and 3-PT skill make him an offensive threat from almost anywhere on the floor. An array of crossover, speed and spin moves make him able to get in the paint and draw contact. His large size compared to most PGs add a strong post game to his reperitoire, with his fake jump hook become a trademark at MSG. Our PnR with our big men is outstanding and almost unstoppable when D'Antoni (AI) runs it.

Assists wise, it's been really fun to distribute the ball, and I do my best to get the ball inside first, but I pride myself on being able to dish and create scoring chances for all 12 players who play in our games, and there hasn't been a game where all 12 players haven't scored at least a bucket. Since I got the starting role from Baron Davis, I try my best to get an assist to as many players as possible, not just dump it to 'Melo and Amar'e.

What I'm trying to ask is, our AI D'Antoni mostly runs plays for 'Melo, Amar'e, our PnR or for me to get a jump shot. I really want more plays to be run for the other guys in our roster, because I know when I give them a good pass, they will score, and they have more potential than they are showing with our current plays system. What can I change by coaching sliders or anything else to get more plays run for those other guys, and not just our "Big 3"--we have our own here in NY.

Also, my MP must be on steroids to be Top 20 in BPG with a 25 block rating.

I play MP, not Association or CAL.

Thanks.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

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.

Thanks. Stupid that this doesn't work this year.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My team gonna lost Rubio after this season. my backup PG is rate 72-73 but has terrible pass rating.

In the league news and rumor mil, they said that Rubio gonna test FA and my Wolve without bird right cant resign him. I didn't quite understand this. Can someone verify this for me? If the contract is longer than 3 years, u can go over salary cap to resign the player. Is that apply to RC contarct?

When starting the game, Rubio has 2 years contract+2 years team option. My team exercised team option so Rubio was kept with his RC contract for 4 years. After that, my team offer him 1 year contract worth $7m. Not sure why my team didn't offer him a long-term one and whether my team is eligible to go over salary cap to resign him under the bird-years rule. (sign him for long-term contract with Bird's rule since he have stayed with the team for 4 years.)

Anyway, they gave Rubio one year contract to play his 5th season and after this contract up, no Bird's right to sign him. (Only a year from his 2nd contract, a one year term, was counted as Bird's year. Not the first 4 seasons with the team under RC contract?)

Too bad, he is already 83 rating right now and i bet he gonna reach 90 sooner or later.

Westbrook said gonna be Free Agent this upcoming summer and Derrick Rose is also at last year of his contract (i doubt Rose will leave Bulls) but I guess no way we can sign any good PG by our current cap. Our current salary cap is at -$23m (The highest in the whole league since we have me ($14m), Lebron ($17m-$20m), Love ($14m) and Randolph ($10m). Even Beasley, our 6th man earn around $12m a year)

And my team gonna land 27th draft pick on both first and second rounds so no chance we get good RC. (Last time, my team drafted 2 PG rate 51 and 52 by 27th pick from both first and second rounds. Complete scrubs.)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Before work I had my best game as a pro. 37 pts 17 reb (5 offensive!) 3 ast and 2 blk! I shot 54% too. My sweet spot is the elbow jumper. My pacers are 9-8 on the year and 8th in the east.

Coach has benched collison for hill at pg. collison's per is under 12 and hill's is above 20. We've played better as a team with hill ad the starter the past two games.

I love all the different coaching moves they make in this game!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

6-3/207/PG/ATH/Knicks/Avg Teammate Grade: A-

Second time around after failure with a SG. This time I added some Stamina (88-92) and "slowed" it down thru the "Rookie Wall" (games 35 - 50, to Rookie AS Game). Worked on penetration (pump fake and shoot in close) and passing off of picks instead of shooting jumpers. Boxing out and grabbing off rebounds did wonders for my confidence.

At game 55 my jump shot is starting to drop again and have kept my FG % consistently above 40%. Averaging 19.0 PPG, 2 Rebounds, and 5 Assists to go along w 2-3 Steals.

Still having trouble with the Pick & Roll pass to high post despite Pass rating of 80. Still turning the ball over in Rival games, Handle is A-, mostly my failure to use "button passing" on passes in a delayed break and not allowing Tyson Chandler to get his FEET SET in the post (dang it)!!! Attention deficient passing into the high post when my opponent drops down.... I have a weak rating for my 3 PTer(65).

We still suck kangeroo balls, we are 5 games out from a playoff berth and peeved Baron Davis (PG) is launching 3's every chance he gets!!! When he is cold; I FREEZE him out by running post plays to the other side - LOL

I like playing for the Knicks, but, we need a 7-10 game win streak down the stretch to make the playoffs and My Player is just not equipped to lead the charge w/o a 3 pointer!

However, at 74 Overall, I may just be selfish and just ride it out to see if I can reach an Overall rating of 80 and hope we get a decent Forward to back up Anthony & Amare' in the Draft. Yes, we have an abundance of PGs, so during key game situations we have 4 guards on the floor!!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I got my PG's Layup to 80, and Shot INside and Close to 70. I didnt want to, but I HAD to boost Ball Security. I had 3 games straight where I turned over the ball 8, 10, 14 times. Luckily I got my 500th assist and was able to get it to 90. That should reduced my TOs. I will boost Shot Inside and Close to 85+. I HAVE to find a way to score more consistently. I am shooting under 39%. The only time I shoot well is when I sim games. I am trying to get near the basket so I can go to the FT line. After that, Vertical, Off/Def Awareness, Off Clutch.
My PG is avging 16 pts, 7 assists, and 2 steals. I am 3rd in Most Improved Player. My Offense is rated 77 and defense is rated 85. We are doing bad and it is 100% my fault. Recently I have been shooting better and getting assists and steals, but I turn the ball over TOO MUCH. If I can keep my TOs under 5, we can win games. Most of the games it is close, but due to my TOs we lose. We out rebounded Bulls, I had Rose in foul trouble the entire 2nd half, and I had 27 pts, 13 assists, 4 steals, 6 rebs, but due to 14 TOs we got blown out. We still have a lot of games left in season. I think we can make playoffs, if I reduce my TOs and shoot better.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

first year as a sf... with the sixers... every single one of their offensive plays are horrid

since I moved it to all-star the team has lost 9 straight by an average of 20 a game... although I am averaging 11, 5, and 5 and usually get As or Bs as teammate grade

my team gets beat in pretty much EVERY category EVERY game

explain to me why my team keeps losing and running horrid plays



edit: as I'm typing this I have a B rating and my team is losing to the bobcats, 63 to 36

[killstory]

I created a new MP so I can play with the real rookies and so far its been a good decision.

My Player:
-All-Around PG
-6'11"
-180 lbs
-Drafted 12th in the first round by the Utah Jazz

Well I'll give you guys a quick recap of my season. Well we began the season 0-2. We lost to the Houston Rockets by 3, and we lost to the Memphis Grizzlies by 5. We then played the Rockets and finally earned our first win with the score being 93-81. Three days later we travel to Miami to face LeBron and the Miami Heat. We were down by 10+ most of the game until late 3rd quarter where I made a buzzer beater shot at the end of the 3rd. I wasn't subbed in until the final 3 minutes of the game and we were down by 1. They eventually took a 6 point lead with about a minute and half to play. We then made key plays on both ends of the floor. This is where it gets exciting, with about 30-35 seconds left I was given the ball to try to tie up the game. Well when I got up to the 3 point line Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade both decided to double team me but left Derrick Favors open, I pass the ball to him and both Bosh and Wade go to favors and Favors kicks the ball back to me and I made a huge 3 point shot giving us a 91-90 lead but they don't call a time out like idiots and LeBron tries to be the hero with a fadeaway 2 and misses it, like usually. I then get the rebound and I am fouled with 15 seconds remaining. I go 1-2 at the line, so this time around the ball goes to Wade, who can send the game to OT or try to win. I am told to guard Wade and I use intense D and he eventually misses the shot at the buzzer, giving us the win. Next we go face the undefeated Orlando Magic who are 4-0 with wins over Charlotte, Miami, Washington, and Philadelphia.

Anyone figure out how to limit the frequency of key games?

This is something I want to know. I want to get further in career without having to foul out of games. Plus, I am tired of facing the same teams.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Oh man just played a helluva key game vs Aldridge and the blazers in portland.

Aldridge started out on fire (making 11 of his first 12 shots). i couldnt stop him he drained so many in my face i was getting so mad. But anybody else who missed I got the board.

I picked up in the 2nd qtr. I finish the first half with 10 pts 9 boards and 2 TO. Boards not bad neither in points but no steals or blocks since Aldridge was showing off that mid range game.

Second half i get aggressive on offense. I end up with 28 points 18 rebounds, 1 ast, 2 stl, 2 blks and the 2 TO, plus i iced the game with FT's. We get the W. After having a 24 pts in the first half Aldridge (i refuse to call him "LA") only had 8 in the second half.

We win 92-88 to go 10-8 on the year. Such an intense game. So fun to play.
