Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

For my PG, my turnovers aren't to bad.. My career highs are 7 and 8 but I usually range from 0-4 turnovers and my average is like 2.3 so not too bad

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Fellow PGs, we all Turn the Ball Over; even Magic Johnson turned it over close to 4 times per game in his Rookie season. See Magic : http://www.nba.com/history/players/johnsonm_stats.html

Even my Center commits 4 turn overs a game. Some from passing since he has a very low rating and despite my level of intelligence I still manage to get caught in the lane for 3 second violations..... usually SCREAMING give me the ball!

BTW; I managed to screw up my Center/Suns (27 games completed) while asking for a trade. Yes I managed to SAVE OVER the original file with the trade file.

I hated playing for the Suns; it was all about Steve Nash throwing alley oops all game to Shannon Brown and Grant Hill, while My Player fights his way thru all the screens (the bumping) to get to the low post!

Need a mental reboot w/my/Center will probably just start completely over with a new player for a different team (avoid the Suns on draft day at all costs)

Tonight back to handling the rock with the Knicks as we defend our NBA title!!!

We won the Finals again. We beat OKC in the Finals, 4-3. Kemba won We beat ORL in 7 and DET in 6. We drafted a SF and now I am the starter again. He is 6'10 230, so it satisfies my want for a big guy. I have 26 key games this year.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Our last game against Orlando was really frustrating. Ended with 7 turnovers. I get that it's OK to get a lot sometimes, but these were just absolutely ridiculous. I have the ball 3 on 1 on the fastbreak, try to alley-oop it and 6 foot tall Jameer Nelson CATCHES it in mid-air. I can't throw an alley-oop over Jameer Nelson? Like really? I could have had another career high but towards the end of the game I was trying to get assists because I needed one more to complete my objective and didn't even try scoring.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Man seeing a lot of people posting that they had this many turnovers makes me feel kind of bad that I rage quit two of my early games because I was turning the ball over for that very same reason.

Well i would of rage quit aye but sed screw it cos i had 18 assists most i've ever gotten so i just kept playing. I slammed my controller onto my bed on many of those turnovers haha.
2 Games later another 8 turnovers to add to me stats.
Seasone averaging:
Pts: 22.6
Rebounds: 4.3
Assists: 6.7
Blocks: 0.8
Steals: 3.2 (Quite easy to intercept passes)
TOs: 4 (gahh gotta bring this down.)

So far working on Vertical, Consistency, Stamina and Shoot in Traffic.
Plan to increase Speed via Dribble course, Ball security and Shot Med

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I still can't hit a layup even though my layup is maxed out, any suggestions to which attributes help making a layup besides layup?

Try upgrading shoot in traffic.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

After entering 30+ games into my 6th season.

1 key games later, I got my first 5 by 5. Greattttttttttt.


Funny thing is I didn't achieve get "three and 1 in the single game" yet. It think Ive done it a few times but it didn't unlock.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Currently on my 6th season. Here my MP card from my 5th one.




Here my teams:


1st: I played before the patch. I took starting job from Vince Carter after 10 games since Vince broke his ankle.



CPU Trade before tha patch was quite crazy. Here my team at the end of the season. I played almost evey game so I became 90 rating.



2nd: Requested a trade to my fav team. They traded Noah rate 83 and generated RC drafted 4th overall for me. Noah ending up lead the league in Blk and Reb and became all-star starter that year. Too bad I didn't have a chance to play with legit C. When I was in Suns, after they traded Gortat for Lee, my starting C is Haslem, 6'8" rate 68-69. When in Bulls, my starting C is Boozer.



3rd: Generated SF drafted 4th overall took Deng's starting spot. This guy has 88 rating when I'm in my 6th season.



4th: Signed with TWolves due to their amazing rosters. Bulls offered me a low ball one year contract for some reasons.



5th: Rubio and Randolph upgraded their rating. The coach swith positions between Love and Randolph for some reasons.




6th: We lost Rubio for FA since my team current cap is -$23m. My team start to lack some depths since we have 4 generated PG rate 53-60 as our bench. Randolph has one player option year but the rumor said he gonna test FA market this upcoming summer. Love said he interest to resign. My team's cap space is currently mediocre but we will get some cap space from Beasley. Hopefully next season works well.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We are 6-7. We havent Kemba got injured early in season and is back, but his loss caused alot of sim losses. I am avging 23+ pts and 3+ steals(1st). My goal is to finally make the All-Star. I am 88 OVR and never got the shoes, commercial, and nothing much when it comes to endorsements. Mainly because I only played key games and barely get + on the LWP. My LWP is low. I am not considered a star yet, but have the star under me. I have 87 Off and 95 Def. One of our problems is that I have been shooting TERRIBLE from the 3. One of my games, I shot 0-10 or 0-11 from the 3.
I got Dunk to 85, Quickness to 94, Speed to 89, Shoot Inside and Close to 70-71. I should be able to max Quickness and Speed before my next game using dribble course because I maxed Stamina, Durability, Ball Security, and Off-Hand Dribbling and they never come up anymore. I have 4 drills. So, I should be able to max speed and take it back and max it twice and get about 5K XP. I will continue to Boost Shot Inside and Close to about 85+, then boost FT and Layup. After that, probably work on Steal and Vertical to 93. Then I work on Abilities. I bought Blake Griffins Dunk Package.
I am about to lower Mins per game to 10 mins a game.
Alot of teams are different after 4+ seasons. Pistons and Wolves are Powerhouse teams. Cavs, Raptors, and HOU have been consistent playoff teams. CHI has been knocked off early last 2 years. SouthEast Division has won 4 straight NBA Titles(Heat and Bobcats). Orlando is very good with 30 yr old Lebron and Paul George. Melo is on Heat with Wade(beat us twice in blowouts). Kobe is STILL playing in his 20th year. He has 82 speed, but his shooting ratings are lower.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

MY PLAYER - 6-3/207/PG/ATH/KNICKS/2nd Season/ OVR: 80

Opening Night (vs. Hawks): Nice touch with the trophy presentation to start the game. The overall feel of the game was different as it appeared that more fouls were being called across the board, the turnovers by both teams had a REAL feel to them. The player spacing seemed to be more realistic and the excessive bumping all but disappeared for veteran players. However, shots being blocked is more intense now for all and of course I ate a few after the "D" rotated on what appeared to be easy layups.

Also Kemba Walker got no help from the AI (my player ice skating), he got off just 2 shots in my presence (blocked 2 others) and he finished w/8 pts.

Performance: A ; JPoG, 26pts, 3 Asst, 2 Steals, 3 Blocks, rebound and 3 Turnovers

Played consistent and well even though I committed 2 un-neccessary turn-overs (off my foot & errant long pass on the break) in the 2nd half.

Knicks: We were a well oiled machine coming out of the gates and to begin the 3rd quarter. No problems w/offense or defense as we looked like defending champions. However, a little concerned about getting FA's Shannon Brown and Kris Humpries into the swing of things as the offense after blowing out the Hawks early really booged down in the 2nd & 4th quarters. The drafted rookies (Payton - 54 & Barbosa - 57) were just terrible in the 4th quarter.

We Win 89-68

"KSOR24 - Try upgrading shoot in traffic." - very important

Upgrading your Shot Inside and Consistency will help. Even when in the 90s for layup you will occasionally miss one. Also when you are in a shooting slump they won't drop if contested (shoot in traffic)....AARGH

I have the ball 3 on 1 on the fastbreak, try to alley-oop it and 6 foot tall Jameer Nelson CATCHES it in mid-air. I can't throw an alley-oop over Jameer Nelson? Like really?

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!!

I had a rage scream a few days ago when Jameer Nelson "contested" a shot in the low post by my 7-2/272 lbs Center (Bad Shot Selection) !!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

A couple questions for you guys:

what jumper do you use? i've been using Curry's and just can't get shots to fall consistently... (i have 98 3PT, 99 in traffic)

do you guys run set plays or just run off screens and pick and roll?

how do you get open? seriously. the cpu is hugging my guy 99% of the time and the cpu doesn't set screens for me..

thanks.
