Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

From the home screen, I think its under my player, where you can go to edit your player etc. Then at the bottom it says "My shoes". Thats where I found mine and deleted them! Again, why have a delete option?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I am so freakin happy right now In our last game we played the Heat, and I blocked Lebron!!!! Plus I was one rebound away from a triple-double. But that's not what I'm so excited about. My trade request was finally granted and I was sent to the Grizzlies who were my #1 choice. I checked my buzz and it seems like it all reset!!!!!! My local fan support is no longer a 12 or whatever it was but now it's at 49! Can't wait to play my next game

Yea this same thing happened to me, but I got another shoe endorsement later in my career, though it was the same shoe as before. Up until then I couldn't use my sig. shoes.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just finished my Rookie Season with PG [Jackson]. We finished tied with Miami for the 1 seed (59-23) after we won our final game and they lost their final game. The Heat won the tiebreaker though. That's good we're the 2 seed, because the Bulls are the 8 seed (Rose was out for a third of the season) so we are facing the 7 seed Milwaukee.

Denver finishes No. 1 overall with a 60-22 record (they traded for Nash)

Louis Williams is Sixth Man of the Year [20.1 PPG]; D12 is Defensive Player of the Year; LeBron is MVP; Sessions is Most Improved Player [16.5 PPG]

D'Antoni won Coach of the Year, I won Rookie of the Year. I was All-NBA First Team; Melo was All-NBA Second Team; and Amar'e was All-NBA Third Team.

First Team:

G- Jackson
G- Westbrook
F- James
F- Durant
C- Howard

Second Team:

G- Paul
G- Wade
F- Anthony
F- Nowitzki
F/C- Bargnani

Third Team:

G- Bryant
G- Nash
F- Pierce
F- Bosh
F/C- Stoudemire

*Finished with 23.5 PPG/3.3 RPG/9.4 APG

===

My goal is to win the NBA Finals.

For the playoffs and next season, I realized that I don't have to hog the ball, and take away touches/possessions from Melo and Amar'e. I want to become more of a distributor, but still be a factor in the scoring. My goals for the next season are 20+ PPG/10+ APG/5+ RPG.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm done with MY PLAYER. This mode blows. 2k needs to just remove it, or completely rebuild it from the ground up.

A.I. is inexcusably AWFUL

Game CHEATS for your CPU opponents. I've been TRYING to win the finals against the HEAT by no matter what, LeBron will NOT miss a shot. I lost game 5 in which he literally made every shot. He had 51 points on 20 shots. (2 3PG and 5 FT). Meanwhile, Westbrook and Durant miss easy attempt after attempt at lay-ups.

Grading scale is AWFUL. I saw a pass coming my way (defensively) so I jumped the gun to attempt a steal. I got BAD STEAL ATTEMPT... EVEN THOUGH I STOLE THE DAMN BALL!!!! Are you freaking kidding me? Hahaha wow.

No matter what, this game mode is out to get you. I draw a foul and go to the line. I make both shots, and I barely get rewarded. If I MISS both shots, I lose half my current grade. Uhhh.... What?

This mode just blows. It needs to be removed. It's clear 2k developers did not even try with this mode and clearly failed to test it with all the bugs and issues that go on with it.

Yes, there are problems with this mode, but, I have to agree w/Champion8877, this SIM by far is the most indepth career mode out there. I am also an avid MLB The Show RTTS player.

I have never played a SIM that totally forces you to make the right decisions and exploits your weaknesses so much (skill attributes). No other SIM is working against you for 12 minutes straight!!!

This weekend I watched several REAL PGs throw passes directly to opposing players, and the failed in bounds pass in the Lakers-Raptors game is something I SCREAM about with my Center!

In a nutshell everything that drives you insane, is part of the game. The difference is that NOW its YOU doing it instead of an actual NBA player on TV making bonehead plays/having a bad day.

The Grading system needs work, but, not that much. The AI is centered around turnovers and your ability to complete objectives. Sure like everyone else I scream when I am guarding someone and it dings me for "leaving my assignment"!

p.s. - My 1st My Player, SG, Kobe dropped 69 points on him one night. So keep at it, and concentrate more on making your player better (attributes & abilities) and stop concentrating on what you think is wrong with the game. COME ON DON'T QUIT; GET ADDICTED LIKE THE REST OF US!!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Why doesn't My Player have it's own sub-forum? This thread has double the posts as Arena Sounds and it would easily have as many and probably way more threads

also looking through this thread, there are a lot of questions going unanswered because of waves of random people posting their stats from last game

Yes, this is a big thread, but for the most part we are an extremely helpful bunch. I rarely see a question ignored, usually 2-3 folks chime in with their actual experiences.

Yes, a few stat posts, but, more importantly they include how they are building their My Player which I am sure is quite helpful to folks just starting a My Player.

If you R a participant in the NBA2k12 page, you will see My Players with 100 plus points per game averages on the Leaderboard, so a few "realistic" stat posts here is a welcome site IMHO!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

That is modded global.iff for PC version. It contains updated accessories. The things I have on my legs are under socks, and on my hands I have plain sleeve and short sleeve.

Last two games


And the best game IMO.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just started playoffs with the Knicks. We're against the 7 seed Bucks.

Game 1 was incredible. We were up by 10 in the 1Q; then the Bucks came back to within 1 at the half...Stephen Jackson was just going off, and he finished the game with 41 points. I was sat for 6 minutes to begin the 3Q...and by the time I was subbed back in, we were down 12 with 5-and-half minutes remaining. We ran our play to get Fields open for 3...and he splashed it 3 consecutive possessions in a row to bring us to 3. Me and STAT run the PnR and he gets an and-1 to tie the game. Jackson scores a layup with 9.3 seconds left... 93-91 Bucks. We call a post iso for me, and I fake Jennings one way, and score the easy jump hook to tie at 93-93!

In OT, it's back and forth, but Carmelo goes down with a back strain, and he'll probably be out until the time of the Conference Finals or so. We're down 107-106 with 16.3 seconds left in 1OT. We run the Amar'e PnR, and he scores with 11.3 seconds left on the clock. Stephen Jackson won the game with a 3 at the buzzer...Bucks win 110-108.

I scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 blocks. 58% shooting.
===

We win Game 2 handily, and Stephen Jackson goes down with an injury, which makes us even more likely to win the series. My PG is now our starting SG, because of Carmelo's injury. My PG drops 34 points, 7 dimes, and collects 3 boards and 2 rejections.

Me and Stoudemire will do more of the heavy lifting as the playoffs go on. We're 8th and 10th in playoff scoring [26.5 PPG/26.0 PPG] and I'm 2nd in playoff assists [10.5 APG]. Also 2nd in efficiency to D-Rose.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I made a 6'4", 187lbs, 3-point specialist PG named Freddie Gibbs from Indiana. Some of you may be familiar with Gangsta Gibbs work.

@Get Blunted, upload a screen shot of your Fred Tipton.. that sh** is too funny!! Shoulda made him from Ball State tho.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Lost my first game as a Grizzly. The game started out amazing, I was 4/4 from the field and was dropping dimes like a bankteller with a bad hand (a dcoopson joke ) to start. My teammates were dunking over everyone and I was hyped. Then it kinda went downhill because me and Rudy Gay were both in foul trouble and I started picking up turnovers. We were pretty close all the way until the end and lost by a big margin. Though I was announced to the Rookie Sophomore game which is pretty cool. It doesn't look like we'll be making it to the playoffs but I don't really care too much.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

With us [Knicks] having three 20+ PPG scorers (me, Amar'e, Melo) with two other starters who can put in 10~15 PPG each, and a bench unit with 25~30 PPG it seems the only teams that can beat us are the ones that can hang with us are the teams that can keep up offensively (Magic, Thunder, Heat, Nuggets) and any team that happens to catch us only scoring in the low-90s in a game.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

PG/Knicks/2nd Season/OVR: 82

WOW; its been a minute. Finally went back to my main man and laid an EGG!!! Shot 40% from the field, 15pts, 12 assists, 2 rebs and a steal. Fortunately we were playing the Jazz and Melo bailed me out.

As you might have guessed I took poor shots (in traffic) and because I am so stubborn. I just refuse to incorporate dribble moves in some of my shots.

On another note since its been a week, I don't have a clue what attributes to apply my points. I think maybe some attention to my Hands is in order, I lost 3 steals in this one (ball bouncing back to my opponent). Fortunately just 7 games completed this season, so I have 2 drills to add another 800 points to the cause.

Just commenting on the 3 steals lost. I believe the attribute you need to increase is 'off. Awareness', instead of hands. Off. awareness is needed to grab loose balls after a deflection.
