Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

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

For a Guard I think its 65; my ATH PG can dunk (standard rimrazer)(can not in traffic) but currently his dunk is 57, so I am hoping to upgrade mid-way through my 2nd season. Don't forget to raise your vertical for dunk packages.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm towards the end of my rookie season and although we started out strong on the season we are now 38-37 and sitting in the 7th seed (Portland).

I'm averaging 30.2 per game (4th in scoring) and it seems to make no damn difference. I actually don't want to score so much but it seems like I have to, my team is stupid and at times useless. In our last game against the Thunder (they beat us by 32) I grabbed a long offensive board and saw Aldridge right under the rim with no one on him. I dropped in the pass and the moron didn't put in the easy uncontested dunk, instead the idiot takes it back out only to pass it to Camby in the post. Then ******* Camby gets blocked with his weak attempt by Durant!

By this point I'm literally yelling at the game and my virtual teammates!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

After a ridiculous comeback game against OKC where we won, we played Atlanta and I basically played a quarter and half at most because I kept picking up fouls. It's so wack, I play great defense on Heinrich who is well behind the three point line and with one second left I jump but I guess a tad to early and get called for a foul, like wtf? And in the fourth quarter I had four fouls and somehow got a charge for no reason taking me out of the game. The only bright side is I did a Rondo layup on the fast break! Idk how I did it, since I have the fake as one of my moves how do I use it? I got completely lucky and I just tried to dunk it lol.

Thats why I had to get out Portland. Besides Alridge, there was no one I could trust. Crawford either took bad shots, wait for the last sec and shoot, or drive. Wallace wasnt aggressive enough. He wouldnt take open shots. If anything, he either passed or drive and take a weaka** layup. Felton was the same too.

That is what I like about playing on Charlotte. Kemba doesnt take the open shot shots, but he makes shot near the bucket when he takes it. The rookie SG/SF takes shots and is athletic. The only person on our team when I play that doesnt take alot of shots and takes bad shots when he does is Josh Smith. He barely posts up. He actually sets up for deep mid ranges more than the post.
I can score 15-20 points and we can win. Since I can provide steals and good defense and a occassional block I have 3 guys on the lineup that could score 20+ a night. The rookie averages 16,but he had a few simulated games over 25. When I sim, Im usually the lowest scorer.
I like that I dont HAVE to shoot over 15 shots to win a game. I still might shoot over 15, but I dont have too. Once I raise Shot Med, I will make more of my shots.
I have to find a way to get the ball to Josh Smith more. Most of the shots he takes are low %. Even though he has 79-81 3pt, I am always like "NOOOOOOOO" when he takes 3s even he he takes deep 2s I still react like that.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I must be terrible at MP, because I can't seem to score more than 7-10 points a game in my 17-20 minutes of action.

I may re-start and use the SimWorld roster for MP and see if that helps at least with the playbooks being better.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Complete BS.. We are up by 11 in game 4 at Milwaukee looking to finish it, with 6 minutes left, they take me out! With my 40 points and when I come back it's tied!! BS and we lose..

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Created a 6'7" 3 point specialist SF. Was drafted with the 12th pick of the draft by Utah. We're terrible. I am getting solid minutes, but my shooting has been up and down. Probably need to work on consistency. Need to improve shooting off the dribble and shooting in traffic.

My Player is basically a spot up shooter. Can't really create his own shot. Below average defender and rebounder.

I am currently working on upgrading his defense, so as to not be a sieve on defense.

You cant boost Shoot off Dribble. Consistency is the way too go. Also Shot Med because the higher the Shot Med the bettter chance to shoot 3s.
My SG is similar. Best ways to get separation on shots is pumpfakes, fake jab steps, and I love using Stepback moves to gain space for a higher percentage shot. If you have a defender any where between 5 feet of you will cause a B- Shot or worser

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Has anyone gotten really deep in a career yet? Like 10+ seasons or so?

I'm in my 5th right now, but it gets harder and harder because every year there seems to be more Key Games. I won 2 championships in Sacramento, but only one of them shows up in my award stats (although I'm credited for the 2014 and 2015 Finals MVP).

My Medium shot is in the 80's so far. I am 19 games in so it's early. Still trying to plan my progression tree. Good advice though.

I will say this coming off picks when I get an open look my guy is lethal.

It is good to know what you are going to improve ahead of time. I bae it off how I play and what my weakness are.
Unless you play with "Run Plays" on, it is good to move around to get open looks. Moving around meaning trying to get your oppenent to get bumped and freeing you up. Dont just stand at the 3pt line. Thats what I am trying to stop doing. Because once you get a high teammate grade they will pass you the ball ALOT, even when they have a good look. since you(and I) cant create shots fir yourself, do most of the work before you get the ball.
I am not sure, but I think Stamina MIGHT play a factor in shooting. I never touched it and I usually get tired quickly. So, I might improve it.
I am getting 41 minutes because I have a high BBall IQ. I think stamina might improve it.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

1st Round of the playoffs w/PG - Knicks (vs. Bulls) Overall: 79

Game One @ CHI
Teammate Grade: A- ; JPoG
Anthony cold as a witch's boobie, just 6 points, 3- 16 from the field
Stoudemire, 21 pts, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks
Tyson Chandler stepped up with 6 points, and 7 rebounds
Derrick Rose dropped 27 pts, Deng and Hamilton a nuissance from the 3 pt line both dropped 18 points.

My Player went berserk and dropped 35 pts, 16-25 from the field while missing 2 - 3 - pts, added 2 Reb, 3 Assist, 1 Block, and 5 Steals terrorizing the passing lanes. Of course I had 5 Turn Overs to keep my ego in check!

I can't stop Rose' penetration pump fakes at the moment, but, staying out of foul trouble. Hamilton is driving me crazy, stripping my crossover just before I get into the lane!!! I will probably take my points from this game and add to my Ball Security, Off Hand Dribbling and Hands.
We win 84-77!!!

Game Two @ CHI
Teammate Grade: A-
Anthony got it going in the 2nd Qtr, and dropped 29 for the game, while Stoudemire had 11 pts and swept the boards with 16 rebounds!
Again Tyson Chandler stepped up BIG, with 7 points and 9 rebounds!!!
My Player; Great; I think not; LOL; 23 points, 9-22 from the field, 2-3 on 3 pointers though, 6 assiss, 1 steal, Just 2 Turn Overs !!! The upgrade to Security, Dribbling and Hands duly noted!!!

Held Rose to just 17 points in this one; taking away his back door cuts, and HACKING HIM on other drives. Will take 4 fouls and some pine time any day he scores under 20!!!

Missed 5 LAY UPS in this contest really feeling STUPID for not maxing out my layup early on!!!! Got to fix this immediately, so all points earned go to layup!!!

We win 92-89; heading back to NYC up 2!!!!

Game Three VS. CHI
Teammate Grade: B; JPoG
Stoudemire and Anthony dropped 18 apiece, and Baron Davis dropped 15 points while My Player was riding the pine in foul trouble. Rick Hamilton dropped 19; but, Deng could only muster 12 points in their 3-pt barage

Played Russian Foul Roulette w/ Derrick Rose; he fouled out w 2:14 left in the game after dropping 27 points, while My Player had 3 in 1st half and none in the final 2 quarters!!!

My Player; played just a little in the first half, but, went to the foul line often; got hot in the 3rd, and closed out the game at the foul line sinking 6 straight foul shots. Scored 30 points, 9-17 shooting, 12-12 from the line; 1 reb, asst, 2 steals, w 3 turn overs (all in the 1st half)

Still missing layups dang it!!! Try adding to inside scoring that should do the trick after adding to layup the last go round.
We win 108-102; up 3-0 in NYC !!!!

Game Four VS. CHI
Teammate Grade: B+
Anthony dropped 33; Stoudemire 18 pts
Chandler, Walker and Jeffries really played well in the low post dishing passes to Anthony and Stoudemire which was crucial during my patient and cold spell periods.

Rose and Boozer made this one interesting scoring 26 and 24 pts apiece for the Bulls. But Hamilton with just 13 and Deng with 2 from long range made the difference

Patient and Hot through 1st half dropping 14 of 21 total for the game. Not real happy with the AI tricks at the moment. There is NO WAY my stamina (96) should be low in the 3rd qtr!!! Low stamina really effected MY Player shooting missing open shots in 3rd & 4th Qtrs (67%-45%). Only shots that dropped where important buckets, and with that maybe I shouldn't complain so much. Ooops I played 46-48 minutes; (0 Fouls); that may have something to do with the artifical low stamina. Ah, 5 turnovers, 7 assists, and 3 steals
We win 103-96; SWEEP!!!!

P.S - Still irritated with the Stamina issue, all skill points are not cheap so you expect to get your monies worth and I feel cheated at the moment spoiling the series victory.

Pacers upset the Boston Celtics; 3-2

[killstory]

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

I'm a all around PG. I actually became the starter for my team in the 2nd round of the playoffs

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I want to try this mode out but I was wondering if the supposed draft glitch is in the game. The glitch I'm referring to is how the future drafts go by alphabetical order instead of team records.

It is still there unfortunately.
