Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Can somebody help me out?

I don't know what it is but sometimes my player in My Player mode doesn't move around the court very well. Like he's slow to respond everywhere I move him and with controls. Like if I go to put my hands up using the analog stick he ends up sliding past the guy hes defending or if I go for a block, instead of quickly putting his hands up then back down to continue guarding, he flies to the other side of the court leaving his man wide open, then when I try to get back on D he acts almost lost for a second before finally attempting to get back on his man who has usually already taken a wide open shot. It's like the whole animations are always happening instead of just semi-animations like it normally should. I'm always flailing all over the court and can't get to precise spots. Like if I'm backing up he continues backing up even when I press forward. It's only for a split-second but that time is enough for the guy he's guarding to score or make a play.

Sometimes there are whole games where he's completely quick and responsive and a dream to play so I know it's not just gameplay. If I put my hands up he puts them up and down as soon as I tell him and sticks with his man and he's quick and moves around the court smoothly instead of flailing around all over the place.

I was injured for a couple weeks with a sprained ankle but I chose to sit out all the games and only come back when I was healed and I assumed that maybe I still had some lingering effects of the injury for a couple games, but then a couple games later I was playing smoothly again so I figured the injury was all healed, then the next game he's back to flailing around and using the whole animations instead of only half the animations. I check my injury status and I'm not listed as being injured.

Is there some setting that I'm doing wrong or something? My quickness and speed are hovering around 90 and most of my offensive and main defensive stats are maxed out as well as consistency. I've tried equipping different shoes but it doesn't seem to provide a fix.

Any tips?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

After entering 30+ games into my 6th season.

3p specialist? thats the easiest . cheapest position not even funny

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

^
Weird that i always feel fun with this playstyle and didnt feel cheap at all. I like shooting 3pts when i play basketball in real life so i choose this at the beginning.

If i know earlier, I will not choose 3pts since for SG, it is the style that has lowest attribute caps and also originally come with "poor" on most abilities. Playstyles will make major difference only earlier in ur career since if u choose other playstyles, u can boost 3pts to 99 finally. (for scoring u also got 99 3pts cap, other styles have around 95 but u can buy it up to 99 anyway) Yep, begin with 82 3pts is a huge advantage for 3pts sg but this playstyle cant do any other things earlier in the career, even missing uncontested layup on fastbreak.

As i said, when u upgrade ur MP to certain degree, not much different anymore.

I experience similar problems with responsiveness, especially on defense. I'll try to close out on a guy and when I press Y instead of running at him and jumping to contest it, my guy will perform a weak jump with his hand up that doesn't make him move half a foot. Defense in this game frustrates me sometimes. I think it's more effective to use the right stick at all times because you can contest the shot while not jumping in the air so you can recover in case they pumpfake, and you won't get called for a foul most of the time.

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.

Release:27
Shot base: 40
Run Plays On
Vitals: *PnR Ball Handler, Mid-Range, *Cutter, 3 pt

With the plays on you can set your VITALS to get screens (*), if not, u need to master calling for screens with the console buttons. The advanced controller buttons is in the Controller Settings menu.

Make sure your Consistency is in the 90s also!

Once you become an offensive threat u need to use pump fakes, fake passes and dribble moves to get open for the shot. Also check your tendencies (Player Card) if you never drive they will be in your face the moment you get the ball. This includes if you seldom pass once you get the ball!!!!!

If you are not comfortable with driving, then go to the Low Post and "Post Up", ah, remember to upgrade this attribute to around 40 for a guard. This is a great weapon to change your tendencies if u haven't mastered the drive yet. You can add Low Post to your Vitals, once you get some respect then you can go back and change this to something else.

My PG, begining his 2nd season is currently going through a 2nd phase of this. The last 2 ball games I cannot get an open shot in the mid-range area and I consistently drive and pass (they r conceding the 3 with my (75) 3 -pt rating). My next strategy is to upgrade my 3 pt to 80, Quickness to 95 and save for a Pull Up Jumper Ability while I cut down on my shooting for now.

*Try not to look for your shot first while you figure out how to get them out of your face. Hustle on face breaks and set your self up (low post block / foul line) for the kick out option when u r not in the primary passing lane.

Yes, the AI trick which I refer to as Ice Skating! My experience (educated guess) this occurs based on Objectives and match ups to include key games.

For example, If I need to "stop him from scoring" or manage turn overs, I ice skate to begin the game and the 3rd quarter. When its shooting % or making 5 layups I appear to be left alone...

As you get further along during the season it slows, however, if you consistently fail to manage the "trick" it will continue and sometimes increase during games! My PG is begining his 2nd season and it's still there but not as obvious as before.

This is really frustrating as you over play your assignment and its hard to set your feet to shoot. So, stay under control, really slow it down until the "trick" goes away!!!

When U go ino Frankenstein mode (slow and sluggish) check your Stamina.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

`So I just started a MP which will now be my last.
Name: Rickey Thompson
PG
All-Around
6'4
185lbs
From Syracuse

Rookie Showcase:
Sarted off on fir in the 1st. After the 1st 2 possensions he had 2 assists and 2rebounds. Then he gets 2 straight buckets one a mid range jumper, and the other a fastbreak 3.After the 1st he had 7pts, 3reb, 3 assists. Then he went cold in the 2nd finishing the half with 10pts, 5reb, 3assists. His teamate grade was C. His draft stock stayed neutral. His defense was 1 star, pas was 3 team play was 2stars. So I was unhappy. Dfeense came out in the 3rd and 4th quarters. First on the break he picks Foster's pocket on the break and gets the fats break layup. Then he gets a block underneath. A few possessions later he tips one of Park's passes and Gibson saves it and hits it right to McDaniel. So I get the steal and then break away for an easy layup. Later in the 4th Brown was bringing the ball into the corner where I was guarding Dixion and Brwon passes it right into my hands. He got 3 more assists in the 2nd half and 1 more rebound. So as the 2nd half progressed I was getting happier and happier about how Rickey was playing. He finished the game with 24pts, 6rebounds, 6assists, 1blk, 3steals, and 2 to's. He also had a B- Grade.

Pre Draft interveiws:
After having a neutral draftr stock at the half I thought I would be going around 12-15. I was wrong the interveiws were with the Bobcats, Bucks, and Warriors.

Bucks;
They had BJ so I didn't want to go their and sit behind BJ for 2 years un til my contract was up. So I said I wasn't a fit for their roster. I knew I wasn't going to the Bucks.

Bobctas:
I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go to Charolete and take playing time from Kemba. I wasn't sure if I was going to get an interveiw with a team with a spot for a Pg. I decided to say yes to them just incase I would get a team without room for a Pg.

Warriors:
Of course I would say no to them becasue of all the guard they have.

Draft Night:
I go to the Bobcats. Woooooooooooooo
I checked my minutes, and kemba is starting at the 2 with 34 minutes. I had regestered for 12 minutes.

Going to play opening day soon.

Hey guys just finshed my 3rd nba season. I was drafted 10th overall by the bucks but i was traded to my home team the Lakers.I play on ps3 and i am a 99 overall with almost every shooting stat at great.But i have to say the lakers are very ungrateful.I brought 3 rings to that team and they only offered me 5 million for 5 years with no player option.I was mad so i took my talents to Sacramento.i am now making 14.14 million dollars a year over the course of 5 years.I play a scoring pg.I am now starting my 4th NBA season playing along with tyreke evans, demarcus cousins and jj hickson.The best part about it is that the 2nd game of the season i play against the lakers.I play key games only and this season i have 29 key games which i am very happy about that.

Yup. Exactly. I'm in my 3rd season and just stared the playoffs and My Player is basically unresponsive. I can't anybody. If I go right he goes left, then I try to go left and he goes right. He's flailing all over the court. I can't keep any one even close to in front of me no matter how much space I give them. They either get an open shot or drive right past me and help defense fouls them.

It sucks. I find myself just quitting games trying to get one where My Player is responsive (seems harder to do now than it was earlier in my career) because most of the time I'm like this the whole game and end up with awful stats.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

alright im not sure wtf im doing

what position and all that would you guys recommend i make?

[KSOR24]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We lost our last game against the Thunder and I am really pissed off right now. We've lost over 10 straight, are onto our 3rd head coach, and can't win a single game. This is on hall of fame sim by the way. Should I just request a trade? I feel like I'll regret it if I do but since this is basically the only mode I play, I don't know. And personally I would reccomend making a PG because most people, like myself, like to have the ball in their hands and being the ones to run the offense.

Not sure why I cant link my youtube account to 2k account. Just using my mobile to record this instead so sorry for low quality. Really like FT line dunk and 360 between the leg dunk.


For my SG, right now I try to average more than 7 assists for the first time in my career. Currently at 7.7 apg through 45 games so I think I can do it. However, this is also the first time that i average 2.9 Turnover per game. (My most is just 2.3) Last two games, I have 8 and 6.

Would like to average more than 7 rebs too. Currently at 6.8 but it is hard since my team has Kevin Love and Anthony Randolph who have 99 Reb overall rating. (My most is 7.7 when I was with Bulls but since moving to TWolves, I got just around 5.5-6rpg)
