Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had a great game in my 1st played game as a Bobcat. We lose 92-89 to the Heat. We had a 12+ lead but they came back. I had a chance to tie it up, but missed it. Which means I will boost Off Clutch.
I love this team. I only shot 15 shots in that game. I really like this team because we have more agressive guys on this team than on Portland. Besides Crawford(who isnt there anymore), there are any guys that would take over. I would try to pass but they would pass it right back. With this team, We have guys that are more agressive. All the starters on our team had at least 10pts, 4 rebounds, 2 assists. We have the 6th ranked offense, 2nd best 3pt team, 5th best FG, 2nd best assists, 2nd in Rebounds. Almost all the starters are avging 10+. this roster will stay intact for a couple years.
PG Kemba- Shooting and driving ability, and Athleticism
SG Me- Outside shooting and Med Range, and Defense.
SF Bowen(R)-Athletism, Size, work in progress with shooting, post game
PF Smith- Post game, defense, and rebounds, med range maybe
C Sloan-Rebounds, size, defense, post game.

I got Off Clutch to 96. I will max that. Then FT to 85, then Pass and Strength. After that I HAVE to focus on my Athleticism. Not for offense, but for defense. I got torched by Wade and the only thing he was doing was driving. When I face SGs like Wade and Ellis, I am in a disadvantage even with my 95 ranked defense because of my athleticism. Heck even Brewer torched me. I will focus on Quickness. It is already expense at 63 with it being over 1000 XP.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just finished my first year with the Los Angeles Lakers. We won the NBA championship and Kobe got the M.V.P. Award over LeBron and I won the 6th Man Award. I already got like 3 billboards, a couple of magazine's and the Where Amazing Happens video for my MP.

I just finished my first year also with the Lakers and we won the Championship also.. What position are you? I'm a Pass-First Point Guard

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Started a MP. I got drafted by the Sixers, and got traded to the Knicks after requesting one. I'm doing pretty good so far, but I might have to start a new one (messed up on some edited ratings) next time I play.

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

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!!!

WRONG; we turn it around with a 8 & 7 game winning streak down the stretch and end up the number 6 seed in the playoffs. We take on the Bulls in the 1st round of the playoffs. I am not looking fwd to guarding Derrick Rose but w/ an OVR Rating of 79 and the team playing well who knows what can happen?

My Player still doesn't have a 3 pt shot (72 Rating) since I built him defensive oriented from the start. This may come back to bite me in the playoffs. My Player has the nerve to have a "3" icon now though!

I started a Center, ATH, Suns, 13th Pick, (PRO/SIM/12 MIN/PLAYS ON) but, it really sucks at this point since he never gets the ball, (can't shoot anyway), basically just a PICK prop that can't rebound or guard anyone in the post.

However, like a few others here, I am about burn out playing in the Eastern Conference so hopefully this will be a nice change of pace. Also, I want to get used to moving w/o the ball (running plays) and perfecting post moves before I take another stab at a SG for my beloved Sixers.

Already I hate the bumping to keep from getting to my spot on the court. You would think that a 7-1, 272lbs center would just tramble guards getting in the way!

Going to take basically the same approach as my PG, physical, rebounding and defensive attributes for the 1st 20 games then work on the shot.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Had the worst game in terms of team play and result in my MP players career. We were against Houston, and with 5:12 to go in the 1st, we had an incredible 26-8 lead. We finished the first 3Q up by 15 points, and by the time the 4th quarter came around, I don't know what Kevin Martin was on, be he kept hitting contested threes to start each possession. We end up losing by 12 points and I can't believe how we got outscored by 27 in the 4th...like the Boston v. Orlando game last night. My team-mates got so many good looks from my PG, but nothing went in and we played awful in the 4th, despite me having a nice game:

39 pts.
7 asts. (bad--currently 9.9 APG)
3 rbnds.
3 stls.
2 blks.
2 TOs.

40% 3PT
83% FT
52% FG

We're trying to keep pace with the Heat for first in the conference, but we can't gain any ground because everytime we win, they win too. We now just dropped ourselves 0.5 GB.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Maxed out Off CLutch and Consistency for my SG. I need to work on Quickness and Strength. I will focus on Quickness 1st, then Strength. After that, probably FT, Pass, Layup.
I think we(Bobcats) are missing depth. We have a great strating linup who can all score, but our bench is subpar. Especially with Big men. I dont really like DJ because a few times I passed it to him on a open 3 and he drived and missed the basket.
I think I need to keep my shooting attempts to around 10-18 range. WIth this lineup, I dont have to take alot of shots and I can give it to a teammate with confidence.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Won my 1st game played as a Bobcat. We beat NO 93-89. I was the player of the game. I had 25pts, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks. I shot too much though. I shot 25 times. I want to bring that down to under 18, so I can get other players involved. Kemba had 21pts and 7 assists and 2 steals, Bowen had 17pts and 10 rebounds. This game showed that I didnt have too carry the team. When Crunch time came, I was passing the ball to my teammates with confidence.
Our teammate OVR is 91. They actually started the season #1 in Power Ranking.We are 14-10. Only one player in top 6 players in our roster contract is up is me and I am definitely resigning. We have 4 players on our starting 5 that averages over 16 and 2 guys over 8. I am the lowest scorer of the top 4 scorers on our top 5 and I dont mind it at all. Our rookie SG/SF is the leading rookie scorer and probably gonna win the ROY. I am actually the youngest player on our roster. We only have 2 guys over 26. My teammate grade is 85. We have over 18 mil in the cap, so we will be able to resign me for a decent size contract. We dont have a guy in the top 25 in scoring, but we are the only team with 4 guys in the top 50 in scorings. I went from 17th in scoring to 47th.
Portland is a completely different team without me. They have 5 guys near or over 10pts a game, but they dont have a guy at or over 16. They went from 1st-2nd in West last year to the 3rd est team in league. Every team in the East is within 7 games from the top spot. So, we cant afford to go on a losing streak. But, since I only have 7 key games left, I will have to rely on simming. But since we have a 91 Team OVR and 50-51(depending on if we are fighting for a playofff position), we can win alot of games
I got Quickness to 67. I will stop around 85.
I actually only have 7 key games in the season. 2 key games against GS, MIA, MEM and a key game against LAL. We beat NO and I had 6 TOs. If I can keep the TOs down and keep my shooting attempts down, we can win games consistently. 4 of our 5 starters can score over 15 and the other can pull down a ton of rebounds. Me and Kemba can get steals.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

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

It depends on our position. When my SG was in the West,I had over 15-20 games. Now that I am in the East with Charlotte, I might only have 9key games this year. There arent too many Star SGs in the league. So, unless we are in a battle for playoff position, we only have 7 key games left and I am still in December.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

now in the starting lineup... team is on a 15 game losing streak... I just don't understand what to do...i'm doing literally everything I can

I mainly play key games so I can get deep into career. My team is rate 91, so we can simulated games. I probably only a few games that I played. Mainly because during the game I will get VERY COLD during the part of the game and give up the ball or give up some easy buckets.

How high does your dunk stat have to be in order to be able to dunk and get a dunk package?

[TDiddy8701]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I have now won two in a row, but had to dominate both games... finished with 29 points last game and 30 this game

wish we could win with me not doing as much, especially since melo and amare are on my team and they should be putting up huge numbers

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

3 games in to the first round match up vs the 8 seed Milwaukee Bucks, now my top seeded Magic are up 3-0, I'm averaging 43 points, 10 steals, 11 assists.. The weird thing is.. We had an 18 game win streak in which we not only beat our opponents, we murdered them by like 30-40, including Milwaukee, but now we are kinda struggling, not making shots and defense hasn't been as good.. I don't get it really

This is one of the main reasons I quit playing MP, playing as a pass-first PG with the Heat I constantly have to make up the slack for D-Wade, Lebron or Bosh, be it scoring or rebounding. Every game one or two of them won't produce, Lebron averages 25.4 ppg, D-Wade averages 20.4 ppg and Bosh averages 16.7 ppg even with custom rosters with updated tendencies the cpu refuses to take open shots and rebound when I'm in the game.
