Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

i loaded up my PG who i have not played with for a while.

We(Knicks) traveled to Chicago to take on the Bulls. i had the best game of my career. it wasnt my highest scoring night, i only had 20 points. but i had 23 assists! setting the team record for single game assists.

Rose was doing great in the first half, he was unstoppable and had 36 points. but he finished with 42, scoring only 6 in the second half.

we won 119-98. Amare had 32, Melo 31, Chandler 17. i had 20 points, 23 assists.

this was by far the most fun and best game i have had in my career.

After reading that, I may make a pass first PG. Just focus or defense and passing because I'm sick of scoring.

I can drop 60 to 70+ (I don't though, just saying I can) any night seemingly at will at this point with my Ath SF. It gets monotonous & boring so I may need to change it up.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

How are you pulling off the Shot - Pass animation? I tried it last night on PS3 and it launched a brick off the back board. Are you using the shot stick or a button to shoot before passing?

i use the shot stick, hold it long enough so he takes off but then be quick to make that pass also as a PG i turned off the right analog direct pass, i like to b able to see the icons and still take my shot anyway i want to. Hope this helps

if you do make a pass first PG, make sure you go to a team like the Knicks, Heat, Thunder(if they move Russ to the 2 guard, idk if they will), pretty much any team with atleast 1, preferably 2, big time elite scorers. because let me tell you, it was rough when my PG played for the Rockets, i struggled to get 5 assists let alone 20+

and i know what you mean about the scoring too much thing. my PG who i just got that 23 assist game with can score almost at will. 90 shot med, 85 three pt, 90 layup, 85 consistency, 85 shot in traffic, he can easily put up 50+ if i wanted to. but i like to play more realistic and pass first, the only times i've ever had over 30 with him was when melo was out 2 games and we needed extra scoring.

prior to this game my highest was 18. i have gotten an 18 assists game, two 17 assist games, and multiple 14-16 assist games. so pretty much going into this game i made it my goal to get that 20 assist milestone. i just ran a lot of pick and rolls/pick and pops with Amare, and sent Melo on cuts and to get open. also threw 4 ally-oops in transition.

ya pick and pop and hitting bigs on the wing for wide open mid range on drives is where i get most of my assists.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I will probably play Game 7 of Finals against Hawks either tonite or tomorrow. Im not sure whether to continue playing on 5 mins quarters or boost it up to 8-10 mins. Probably might be 8 mins. I want to get a double double, but most importantly win the game for Terry, Dirk, and Marion since Terry is going to retire and Dirk and Marion isnt too far off from retiring. My team option will give me 1 mil next year. 1st 2 years I got under a mil. If I get my OVR up before contract, I could go from making about a mil a year to 10 mil a year.
Like I said before, I am not sure which team I look to go to. I doubt I stay with Dallas. Dirk and Marion might retire by the 2nd year of new contract, Arenas will 34 and declining, and I am not what we will do with Beaubois. So this team will be a rebuilding team in a few years. I want to go to a athletic defensive team.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We lost the NBA Finals. We got blown out. It was a close game after the half, but they pulled away. 2 main reasons. 1. We shot 37%(25% from 3pt, 20 attempts) and the shot 52%(50% from 3pt.). 2. 11 TOs vs. 4 TOs. I had a double double, but shot horrible. I tried to do regular hook shots, but kept doing jump hooks. I shot 30%. We lost by 20.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Strength allows your player to PUSH THRU/ABSORB hits while going thru the lane and at the basket (traffic).

Vertical gives your player height on his jump shot and finishing on layups/dunks. No vertical expect to get your shot blocked ALOT on layups from the "rotating" defense.

Make sure your Shoot in Traffic & Consistency skills are HIGH!!!

Yes sometimes its hard and can be very frustrating to tell when your shot is contested in this game!!! I was EXACTLY where you are with my first MyPlayer SG. I tried to shoot my way thru it and it was a disaster!!!

After about 30-35 games into the season, you can no longer just Hop & Pop jumpers! It is essential to include: pump fakes, fake passes and the use of simple dribble moves to get an "open look".

TIDBITS:

Your "hot shot" indicator is a little bigger than you think; instead of shooting at your EXACT favorite spots on the floor take a dribble to the left/right and drain it from there! Go wider off picks to give yourself a little more space.

You also want to make sure you are not becoming one dimensional once you get the ball!!! Drive to the basket; pass off a pick instead of shooting sometimes! YOU WILL GET THE BALL BACK OR ANOTHER OPP TO SCORE!

Slow it down and don't look to score the next 2-5 games; try to reduce your # of shots by half. Don't worry the AI will make sure you get close to your average with a few fastbreak scores and trips to the line if you play under control.

Watch how the AI responds to you when you get the ball. If they are in your face immediately then they KNOW (tendencies/shown in your player card) you are not going to Drive to the basket!!!

Listen to Steve Kerr & Clark Kellogg, as irritating as the criticism can be sometimes they are giving you TIPS on why you are struggling!!!!

Also remember some games are just not going to be your day. Take it in stride and make it a point to get open looks and it will all fall together for you sooner than you think.

how do you fake pass again ? also i'm with the golden state warriors. How do you find out your hotspots ?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I forgot to mention my shoot in traffic is maxed out at 85 and my strength rating is at 38 BUT only goes up to 65

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

1st key game of the season ended in a loss. It was fully my fault. Stat-wise I had a good game off the bench, 18 pts, 5 rebs, and over 57%. But, my foul troubles and bad defense end in a loss. It was a close game, but due to keep getting rebound-push fouls and Jordan Hill BEASTING on me, we loss. When I was in there, the game was either close or we began on a comeback.
I got Stamina to 82. It probably take will only take a game or 2 and next set of drills to max it. Then Off and Def awareness for boosted OVR. Then Consistency and Strength. No achieveable milestones this year. I am 1st in 6th man of year. I dont think I can make the all star again. Points, Rebs, Blocks, FG % are all down from last year. I actually dont mind playing as a 6th man. I can still get a double double and it will give me 6th man award under my belt.
I face Spurs and Suns in my next 2 key games. Both are games we should win. Both only have 1 player over 12+ PPG.
Definitelt will leave after this season. We have 3 key players(Dirk, Marion, Odom) over 34 and all of them are declining and Arenas is 32, so he is a season or 2 before he starts decling. Like I said before Pistons and Denver are the main teams. Even though Pistons might lose a couple a frontcourt players, they will have to resign Monroe and I think Knight too(probably either Player Option). So, I think they might be over the cap

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

This opening day for Iman Anderson went ridiculous. He got drafted to the Warriors at the 11th pick. We were against the Lakers. This game was a blowout from the 1st Q on. By us. At the half the score was 69-48. Iman played at least 30 minutes because it was a blowout. Iman had 30pts, 4reb, 3assists, 4stls and 1 block. Once they started pressing when Iman was at the PG he became unstoppable because they would inbound it to me then Iman could sprint right past his man up court,and finished with an easy layup. His first stl came by Iman stripping World peace then missing a contested layup on the other end. Then he took it away from Blake and got an easy fastbreak layup. The 3rd and 4th times kobe was bringing it up then Iman stripped him and got to amazing fastbreak dunks. Iman was so happy, but kobe was pissed off he got stripped twice by a rookie in his first game. (used all xp from the showcase to p stl.) Iman's fav shot is a nice baseline J. He actually hit a 3 with no one on him in the beginning of the game. Iman got 3600 XP fromhis performance alone. With all the milstones he ended up with drum roll please 11k xp. I put all that into stl and it got up to 85 my goal is to get it to 87 then move on to another attribute. Got another key game in against the Kings coming up next. His next game. I hope his next game is as good as his first, there won't be many milstones I can get game if any.

Excellent; icon passing is what I always use to Pass; just hitting "X" is WAY TOO risky.
