Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I believe I am 32 games into the season, we just played the Kings and to start I was red hot as well as my team, but it just went downhill. I ended up with 6 TO's so I failed that objective (comit no more than 3) 5 fouls and I think 28% shooting from the field. I got really pissed off though almost had a triple double, 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. I hate how every time I want to sprint I have to throw the ball in front of me because on the break my stupid teammates always seem to only run in front of me and it hits off of someone, I did a lot of things I shouldn't have done out of pure frustration. I average over 3 and a half turnovers a game, looking like Russell Westbrook lol. Still having fun with the game mode, we're like 6-26 though (as the Bucks). I enjoy 2K12's my player better than 2K11's.

This pisses me off so much, on fastbreaks your teammats never run along side of you they always want to run in front of you for some reason.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Those are in my vitals, but what do vitals mean? How do I call those plays?

Your Vitals are the plays that are called for your Player! Here is a link that explains the plays.

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150278579327267

To turn on the Play system, go to Game Mode Settings and:

Run Plays: On
Playvision: All Plays (User Only only shows your responsibilities, I don't recommend this bc u can't see when someone else fails to get to their spot!)
PlayVision Display: Full or Lite (At 1st u may want to have the play art on Full so you can see the entire play design, then once you know your responsibilities you can shift back to Lite.

You also may want to go to the main menu and use the Practice mode for the team ur player is on and run the plays before turning it on in My Player Mode.

After seeing the play in its entirety W/O DEFENDERS its much easier in actual play to follow. Once u turn on the plays and they lock, don't forget to call for the ball if they don't move!!!!! If U play on PS3; also hit the "O" if you fail to set a pick, no matter where u r on the floor, it will relieve u of the responsibility so the play doesn't bog down.

Once u get it down, feel free to NOT follow the play and Pass to different players/sides of the floor to mix it up and exploit the AI over-play on defense.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Another blowout loss because of poor shooting. I am about to turn on "Run Plays" and just left teammates shoot the ball. Most of my misses are high % shots. But, I am not the only one who misses shots. Our Center has a low Shoot in Traffic, so he misses most of the shots around the bucket. Smith isnt agressive enough. Kemba doesnt take many jumpshots. I hate how our rookie SG/SF does around the basket. He takes alot of high difficultly shots. I wish he would be more agressive and dunk more. But we can win if we play to our strengths. I have to play like a distributer and put teammates in better position to score. I dont take bad shots, but I miss alot of easy shots if there is a defender near me. I can provide 2-5 steals and 3-5 assists and rebounds a game. But, I need to keep my FG % over 45-48%.
I got Quickness to 82. I will have 4 drills before my next key game. I will be able to max Shot Med, take off 5+ Med shoes, and Max it again. I will use the 5+ Quickness shoes. I will stop at 88. Then focus on Stamina, then strength. I only have 3 Key games left. I face Memphis, Lakers, and NO. I didnt have a bad game against Mayo last time, just got to keep him away from bucket.

Thanks I appreciate your help! Hopefully this helps get our offense moving as right now it sucks.

Right now my team the 76ers have lost 4 straight all by double digits. Last game @ Charlotte we were down 31-8 at the end of the first quarter. We ended up outscoring them the rest of the night, but couldn't come back from the huge 1st quarter deficit and lost by 10.

My player had 1 pt in the first half but got hot late in the game and finished with 21 points.

I also like how they like to run in front of u (& infront of the defender) when u r shooting a crucial jump shot!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Also a lot of times when I try to pump fake, despite only tapping the X button, it makes me shoot. And whenever I try to like hopstep or do a move to get me into the paint it makes me pull up for a jumpshot sometimes, but I guess you could say it's my fault since I might take off a little farther away than I should. But 2K12 has gotten me to start using the right stick a lot now that Y is used to post up, I only use X for shooting and free throws. But I love holding LT and moving the right stick towards the basket. What I love about this game is because of the fliudity of the gameplay, a lot of stuff gets me in awe when I see it for the first time.

Not a problem, my 1st player was a SG for the 76ers, A FAILURE, bc I got inpatient w/ my shot after the D clamped down on me. I dropped from 42% - 32% FG in the last 1/2 of the season. I had no idea I was shooting in traffic and I just continued to launch off screens.

BIF - Do not add plays to your Vitals that you are not capable of! Example: 3-pt, if your attribute is real low for 3-ptr this is a killer bc, your teammates as you progress will give you the ball (even when u don't really want it) in an area you can take the 3-pt shot, forcing you to take bad shots!

If you are good NOW at driving to the basket "Cutter" (pick hand off at the top of the key) is superb weapon until you can drop Threes. There are NO penalties for just having 2 or 3 plays set in your Vitals.

76ers; the more u pass the ball the better they get -- if u don't Iggy will become a ghost. Give BRAND/Speights the ball in the low post!!! And quick pass to Iggy on the break to get assists!!! FREEZE OUT TURNER when he is on the floor w/u he gets disgruntled early and will hoist 3's like a battleship. Lou Williams is dumb as a rock, but, Jodie Meeks (3 pt) is a good back court mate when Holliday is on the bench.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Totally frustrated w/my Center (ATH) for the Suns. Still early but it's driving me crazy that they do not give him the ball while he is STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF PAINT ALONE!!! If Steve Nash steals one more rebound from me I am going to plow him into the basket hoist!!!

20 games in and I have applied all of my skill points to rebounding, physical attributes and D low post. He shoots bricks in the paint and can't make a layup to save his life. Of course this is my fault bc I refuse to upgrade his shooting until he can play some D. You would think a 7-2 man could put the ball in the basket 2 feet in front of him?

Nevertheless, he leads the league in Blocks 3.4 w/ per game and can DUNK, from the low post and in traffic, so his few highlights are awesome!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

When you request a trade and you get traded, do your minutes automatically transfer over to the team you got traded to or do you have to earn them again?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Thanks so getting my 500th career rebounding while simming games, I got Quickness to 84. I just equipped the 5+ Quickness shoes. So, I have it at 89. I have 2 drills left so I can get it to 90 before the last drill. I will boost stamina after that. I have Shot Med it 95. I will have it at 97 after the last drill and should have it at 99 after the next set of drills. I will use dribble course to boost Ball Security and Speed. The dribble course isnt difficult at all since I will have high quickness. I will probably boost Stamina 90-95. Then Strength. I was thinking about boosting Dunk after that instead of Layup. I want to be able to dunk on people. After that, might work on some attributes I stopped at, then work on some dribble abilities.
We are 35-30 and 6th in conference. I have 3 key games left(2 of them in current week) and 14 non-key games left. Probably gonna ve more key games since we are close to 3-7 seed. I think we can end up anywhere between the 3-6 range. So, these 3 key games are important even though they are all in March. Our Center is out for 1-2 weeks and will probably wont be able to play in any of the key games. He provides rebounds. Diaw is starting in his place. We are slated to face either Indiana, NJ, or Hawks. I wouldnt mind facing any of those teams compared to Heat, CHI, and NY. I am 16th in scoring and 3rd in steals.

I think it does but it may depend on the new team's current roster and ur rating.

I requested a trade when I already have a high rating so I can't really tell. I tested it a few times (didn't save the game) and it may not work well.

I'm a SG. When I was rate 90 with the Suns, I requested a trade to Bulls. They traded Noah rate 83 and generated 4th overall RC PG/SG for me.

When I'm with Bulls. I requested a trade to heat when my rating was like 95 or something. They traded me and Loul Deng (rate 78) for lebron (rate 98). Then, the Heat benched Wade (rate 96) for me instead of moving Wade (who is SG/PG) to be PG, replacing Chalmer (rate 75).

Another time I tested is when I'm with Bulls rate 99, I requested a trade to OKC. they traded Durant (rate 97) and Harden (rate 84) for me and generated SF, drafted 4th overall (rate 78)


My minute still be the same (41, highest in the team) The only time it was reduced is the "all-star game" glicth which I was forced to sim pass the all-star game to avoid being reduced minutes from 41 to 12.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just lost a key game to Denver 107-88 to drop our record to 8-15.

I got in to foul trouble so I only got 21 minutes off the bench, and while I scored 16 points, i was limited to just rebound.

The good news is in look at "My Minutes" section it looks like I have now been moved in to the starting lineup in place of Josh Howard and my minutes have been raised to 31.

So our Lineup looks like this.

PG- Devin Harris
SG- Alec Burks
SF- Brin Kerr (My Player)
PF- Paul Milsapp
C- Al Jefferson

6th Man - Josh Howard
Reserve- Derrick Favors
Reserve- Raja Bell
Reserve- CJ Miles
Reserve- Enes Kanter
Reserve- Earl Watson

I've got my on ball defense up to 70 so far. Want to at least get it to the positional average of 76. Maybe I will go as high as 80.

Here is my player actually scoring on a drive to the rim on a fastbreak.



Not a super exciting Vid, but here is my player hitting a wide open 3.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm so down that my team lost Rubio. Imagine my team with Rubio rate 86, me rate 99, lebron Rate 99, Anthony Randolph rate 89 and kevin love rate 84. That's super team. (Even last year when Rubio was 83 and Randolph was 85, I still think my team has the best starting five)

Without Rubio, gonna play with Willie warren rate 75. however, I hate when my bench full of 4PGs rate 60 and 52-54. Their height are around 6ft. That's just great and all of them got minutes around 4-10. That's quite a lot for scrubs.

PGmania by T-Wolves's GM. Huh?
