Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Had a great game in a loss(again). 20 pts, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 6 steals, and 3 blocks. 1st game with 3+ steals and 3+ blocks. I was able to get Stamina to 94. I have 2 drills before my next key game. It will be at 95 before next game. I have Shot Med maxed at 99. I will be able to focus on Dribble Course. I should be able to Max Stamina after my next game. After that I will work on Strength.

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?

Well I was drafted by the pacers and played 20 games with them, by the end I was getting 30 minutes but I was coming off the bench.. When I got traded to Orlando I had a 65 rating and my first game was starting.. So sometimes it works out

Btw we just beat the Knicks in game 2 to make the series ORL 2-0 heading up to NYC for games 3 & 4.. Both home games were for the most part walk aways.. Hoping to continue up in NYC..

If we advance we are looking at either Miami or Charlotte in the Conference Finals, fortunately we have home court throughout the Playoffs

Towards the end or our last game i tried to rebound a ball that went in and my guy started limping and was subbed out for the rest of the game. This has happened to me before but the injury doesn't ever carry over to the next game, does it have any sort if after effect?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We(Bobcats) are 35-32. We are 6th in conference. After my next key game(LAL), our next 3 non-key games are against teams between the 3-8 spots in our conference. We have only 2 key games left in season. It is important that we beat at least 1 of them. Those two key games are outside of those 3 non-key games. So, I hope we can at least go 3-2 in those 5 games. I really want to face Indiana in the 1st round. I matchup well against George who is only scoring 10pts, I like our Big men against theirs. It will be up to our rookie SG/SF to handle Granger. We will be without our Center against Lakers. Diaw could probably get the 10 points that our center could get or more, but Diaw cant get the 10+ rebounds our center can get.
I turned on Run plays and I played great that loss against Grizzlies. I only shot 15-18 shots at the most and shot around 50% or less. My TOs were alittle high but they werent on-ball TOs, so they can be worked on. We ran the same play 3 times in the row. The last 2 times we ran that play it got stolen when passed to me and the 1st time it could of been stolen. I hope we dont run that play.

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

My PG/ATH/Knicks - Rookie Season


CONFERENCE SEMI-FINALS

Game One VS. IND
Teammate Grade: A
Amare Stoudemire is blessed with the hot hand, 15-19 from the field, exploding for 32 pts; Anthony adds 17 and Baron Davis drops 11 off the bench. Chandler and Fields keep up their consistent play combining for 14 pts.

I play casual defense on Collison most of the game and he picks up a few cheap ones, but, shoots 5-19 from the field. I am little help to my teammates as Granger drops 27 despite me annoying him when he tries to dribble in the post.

The entire Pacers starting lineup scores in double figures; this maybe a problem as we get deeper in the series.

Performance Great; yeah right, sure I completed all my Objectives, except for "Heat Up" (make your next 2 shots) which by now you know I shot horribly from the field. Ah, the ENTIRE game; 27% (6-22) and had the nerve to miss a free throw down the stretch.

After going 1-5 early on; I guessed (correctly) that my series start was as bad as Carmelo's opening the first series and adjusted my game play accordingly. Took the best shots I could and concerated on setting my teammatess up for good shots, ended with 15 pts; 8 Assists, 2 steals and just one turn over.
We win 97-89; up 1-0.

Game Two VS. IND
Teammate Grade: A-
Amare Stoudemire scored 15, and grabbed 15 boards but was a ghost during key parts of the game. Anthony dropped 23, but the key was the absence of Tyson Chandler on the boards, grabbing just 3 while commiting just one foul!

Again, I play casual defense on Collison most of the game and again picks up a few cheap ones, and shoots a little better at 5-13 from the field. This time it back fires because I am not the only one playing causal defense on their man!!! Granger 20, Hibbert 16, Dahany Jones, 16 and David West 14. Yes, the entire Pacers starting lineup scores in double figures again!!!

My Player; 23 pts, 43%, 2 Reb, 5 Assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 43 minutes, would take three 3 point shots in the last 24 seconds of the game, one made to close the margin to just 3 points, missed the final 2 to give us the win. The lack of a 3 pt shot hurts, but, i made the decision early for defense, so I got to live with the consequences.

I take no solace in losing a game, but, we really didn't deserve to win this one allowing the Pacers 12 offensive rebounds. They score 40 to our 22 in the paint tonight!!!!
We lose 90-95; series tied at 1-1.

Game Three @ IND
Teammate Grade: A-
Anthony 32 points and Amare Stoudemire scored 16, and grabbed 19 boards.
A real nuissance up front, but, somehow Collison gets 15 pts. Granger 29 and again the starting 5 score in double figures. The last game the Pacers dominated the offensive glass and I was concerned that Tyson chandler didn't show up; not his fault. IT'S THE STUPID AI, we are still playing stretches with 4 guards on the floor!! Makes no sense; 2 guards demanded trades during the season after My Player emergence and they did nothing!!!

Nevertheless the Pacers only get 6 offensive rebounds in this one.
My Player; Great; maybe, did play well, 55% from the field, 28 pts, 6 Assists, 1 steal in 47 minutes. 5 Turnovers
We Win 90-95; Up 2-1 in the series

Game Four @ IND
Teammate Grade: A ; JPoG
The triangle of swish, Stoudemire, 24, Anthony, 22 and My Player, 24 pts. No 3-pts from us but we all shot 48% or higher from the field.

Collison didn't score a single point in the 1st half. Granger picked up the slack dropping 30 points, Hibbert and West combined for 25. For the 1st time the Pacers starting five did not all score in double figures.

My Player; Great; 50% from the field, 4-4 at free throw line with 9 assists, rebound and 5 steals and just 1 turn over. My Players' timing with passing was impeccable and just overall court general ship and smoothering defense made this win easier than the score suggests. Probably the best performance to date.
We Win 97-89; Up 3-1 in the series,heading back to NYC

Game Five VS. IND
Teammate Grade: A-
Anthony 25 pts, Stoudemire, 10pts, didnt matter all that much as defens ruled this contest from start to finish. The Pacers had 10 turn overs while the Knicks had just 4. We would also oddly enough for the 1st time out score them in the paint 42-30.

Granger, 20, West, 17, and Hibbert, 14 made it interesting, but, My Player shut down Collison, 8 pts, while on the bench.

My Player, 47 % from the field, perfect from the charity line, 22pts, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 Turn over. Says Great, but, it was a grind, poor shooting due to "hip-checking" on drives led to foul language in the 1st half. Kept my cool and set up others to score and when th team needed a bucket I dropped one.
We Win 92-79; Series Victory (4-1)

P.S. - Series victory get me the cover of Dime magazine; LOL

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We're 22-25 dropping some games of late (pacers) and we fell to 9th kn the east. I'm really starting to turn it up I'm getting a triple double a lot lately. Getting 40 or so points, 13-15 rebounds and 10-12 ast.

I've been running our offense our of the high post and my PF can get the ball to anyone. My fav play right now is a hand off to granger and I roll or ends up going to the hoop.
The re upped David west for 4 years and he now starts at center over hibbert. I like playing with hibbert better cause he cuts to the hoop. Our lineup looks like this

Pg- collison
Sg- jones
Sf- granger
Pf- me
C- west
6th- George
7th- hill
8th-hibbert
9th- hansbrough
10th- stephenson
11th- price
12th- foster

Btw I love when Stephenson plays too. He beasted when collison got injured for a little bit in a back up roll.

Quick question: why won't my YouTube account link up with my my2k account? Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

OK so I have about 17,000 skill points and idk what to spend it on. I was thinking an ability, the only one I've upgraded so far was hop step layup/dunk which turned out to be very effective. So should I just use it to increase some attribute ratings? Because my guy is only a 68 overall and although these abilities help in-game I feel like I'll never raise his overall. Athletic PG btw. If I upgrade crossover, will I actually be able to cross people over and get to the rim? I would do that a lot in 2K11 but in 2K12 it seems nearly impossible. Any feedback?

You could upgrade the crossover it would help getting to the rim and whatever is left u can use it on the attribute ratings

I admire your patience; there is no way now I could save skill points much less 17K!!! When I first started with my player I did save until after playing 3 games. Saving does have its benefits though, a strategy of applying skill points is quite beneficial over the long haul of an NBA season.

IMHO- ABILITY is an upgrade after your player earns his basic skill set based on your type of play.

Example: Upgrading from "Poor" to an "Above Average" Crossover will do you no good if you have Low (Ball Security & Off Hand Dribbling) ratings (u will get constantly stripped of the ball by ur opponent).

On top of that ALL of them are extremely EXPENSIVE!

I consider myself an average player and most games I average 1200 - 1500 skill points, MY Player, PG, after his Rookie season has an OVR of 80 and he still is not sound in all the areas he needs to be for his position. I do not think we will be in position to save skill points until well into his 2nd season.

If you play all 82 games u will probably accumulate over 200-250K points if you play well (includes milestones reached).

Hopefully someone who currently has more games under their belt will chime in also.


*At 1st getting to the rim was extremely difficult for me also, SLOW down your movement and crossover at the top of the key on the elbow that will at least get u into the paint. A nice pump fake and a finger roll will work nicely from that position. Early on you will get A TON of "hip checks" driving so use your (L2 on PS3) to EURO Hop Step thru the lane!!! Go to the Shoot Around and practice this move it will do wonders for your confidence. Also take notice of how your opponent gets into the lane!!! Ah, I still cannot do a spin move into the lane !!!

Currently playing on the nets with a slashing SF 6'6 220. Originally drafted by the pistons but didn't want to start over prince so I requested a trade maybe 10 games in. 1st choice nets(nets fan), 2nd cavs, 3rd raptors. On all three teams I thought I could provide that missing piece at the sf position. While waiting on trade I was averaging 18-7rbs-5 assist coming off the bench. Trade didn't go through. Requested another trade, same teams. After this I became the starter for the pistons, taking prince spot. I was mad. So I decided to play horribly. Three games after requesting second trade I get traded to the 5-12 nets. Starting at SG in place of brooks who is currently out and I'm Ballin. Happy to be in new jersey playing along side dwill. Stats picking up. After a couple games played new jersey are in the early playoff race for that 8th spot sitting 2 games bak behind the wizards and 12-16. Happy to make a difference in new jersey.

May start a new myplayer after trade deadline. What's a good height/weight ration for PG, SG, SF?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

PG/SCORING/KNICKS/ROOKIE

We played an amazing game vs. the Heat; they're probably our biggest rivals, and the game just went: NYK score...MIA score...almost every possession, and we played a great team game, with everyone scoring at least 3 points. It was neck-and-neck until Haslem missed a wide-open baseline J with a minute left with the score tied up. We run a Post-Up play for Carmelo and LBJ is helpless as Carmelo spins past him for a baseline dunk with 21.7 seconds left and we're up 97-96. LeBron brings up the ball, and jacks up a pull-up 3, and being the "extremely clutch" player he is, misses. Fields grabs the board and hits two clutch FT to put the game away. NYK 99-96 MIA

We played our next game against either Detroit or Washington. I had a great game in a blow-out win. Everybody again scored at least 4 points, and the Knicks 12 Over play for our sharp-shooters (Walker, Williams, Mason) is a lock, and that play is extremely effective. My PG had his first triple-double with 28 PTS, 12 REB, 11 AST on .630FG%, 1.000 FT%, and .4003PT%. Jared Jeffries was huge in the place of an injured STAT, and he, Turiaf, and Chandler all had at least 10-10 game.

===

Won Player of the Month for the East:

-1 Triple-Double
-14 Double-Doubles
-AVG: 30.2 PPG, 10.1 APG, 1.8 BPG, 4 RPG
-Knicks with 14-3 Record (in month)
-2 NBA East Player of the Week

===

I find Broadcast angle is best for defense, and rebounding and timing is key for those PGs with low rebound like mine. I never upgraded it yet and suprised to get triple-double...

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Well we swept the Knicks blowing them out in game 4 and advancing to the EASTERN Conference Finals in an all Florida Finals, 1 Magic vs 2 Heat.. Being the 1 Seed we got home court and feeling confident cuz in the 3 games I played with Orlando vs Miami this year we won, and game 1 was no different as we won 109-91 to get the series started off great up 1-0.. In the West the Thunder have a 1-0 lead over the Lakers, either way we would have the home court edge in the Finals...

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I am not sure, but I think ever since I boosted Defense Awareness I havent been called for On-Ball steal attempts as much when I didnt improve it.
Quickness has really improved my game. I still have 76 speed, but my 90 quickness really helps me get rebounds, and guard players. Now that I am basically done boosting extremely expensive ratings, I can focus dribble course. I will use it to boost Speed, Quickess, and Ball Security. I have A- Athleticism.
I am not sure, but I think once you max out a rating that is involved with a drill, it wont wouldnt be shown as a reward. I mean that if you max Consistency or Off Clutch, it may not show up as a rewarded as a bonus for shooting drill. I think that is a great thing if it is true. I hated shooting nothing but 3pters and get Off Clutch or Consistency. But since I maxed those things, I get the thing I want
