Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

KNICKS/SCORING PG/SOPH.

I was anticipating our match-up with the Heat, a battle between the two top teams in the East--It's sort of like the Bulls and Heat irl; we're the two dominant teams in the conference. It's three in MP (Heat, Knicks, Bulls)

Well, great thing about this game is that we won 97-68, and this win put us just behind the Heat in the standings, but virtually locked up the No. 1 seed in the East. But how can we secure the No. 1 seed 22 games in? This game, we injured both LeBron and D-Wade, and it may be time for me to try and boost Local Fan Support, as the All-Star Voting ends in six weeks, so I'm trying to get that LFS up so I can be a starter. I have nothing to spend my $$ on anyways.

vs. MIA: Played a real solid game all-around: Stoudemire (21/11), Melo (21/11), Jackson [me]: (16/5/12). Douglas rounded back into form after some recent 3PT woes, and made 4-6 from deep to finish with 18 points.

===

I got my Dunk Rating to 80, Rimgrazer is pretty sick with the Tomahawks, Windmills, Reverses... Does it matter which dunk is which specialty number? Tried to get a balance of power, finesse and direction change in my 10 dunks, depending on the defense.

With my Shooting Ratings from Inside to the Arc all at 95, adding dunking to the arsenal is going to put me over the top. Still not going to be the No. 1 offensive option, but I can score 20 PPG consistently while only needing to take 13 shots per game. Also means I can take over offensively if Melo and Amar'e happen to struggle...or at least for a quarter or a half.

Finally looking forward to seeing our bench finally start producing. Bogans is rounding into form from 3PT, and they're averaging 35 PPG recently. haha.

===

Last thing, intersting to see your 'Player Card' and the splits. Interesting to see the disparity in what your player does in wins, and losses. Wins, I shoot 57%, and average 22-13 this season. Losses shooting 46%, 23-10. So interesting to see what you need to do as a player for your team to win.

Probably the endorsement Jordan's, with those, we can +5 any attribute we want.

That's really nice for attributes I have maxed, and when I don't want to spen 500K of my paltry rookie contract to upgrade an attribute cap by +5. Except Off/Def Rebounding with the shoes is +6 and speed is only +3.

Funny how being an All-Star, All-NBA, Finals Champion, Finals MVP in my rookie season, and leading the league in assists and efficiency in my second year only earns me $1.37 million from my rookie contract. xD

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

OK. I've got boos now. I'm rated 89 and have the star status. I first noticed it early in the game going to the free throw line. Now every time I have the ball, my home fans are booing. It gets pretty annoying pretty quick. Especially since after I score, they immediately cheer. I wonder if 2K will fix any more bugs, or just right it all off 'til 2k13 (if they even fix it then)?

On the brighter side, my second season is going great (with the exception of the boos). Phoenix is top in the West (9-3). Jones is currently averaging 40.1ppg (crazy, I know), 5.8 rebounds, 6.3 ***, 4.3 steals & 2.8 blocks. I've played every game thus far, but I'm not loving the fact that the ball HAS to go through me for 95% of the game in order to stand a chance. I'm a SF not a PG. Nash has become turnover prone and most of the time, my teammates like passing the ball around until they're able to find the worst possible shot. I'm thinking of just playing Key games and Western division games to help speed the process (I really want to test FA).

I have posted the video below on their Facebook page and sent a message to the development team on nba2k.com, so hopefully they will get back to us shortly.

What is your Contract Status? What is in the League News/Rumor Mill?

Keep checking your Buzz:

After making this video; 3 games later, I found the "TRADE" results in mine. The 20 point drop of LWP and Local Fan Support for NO REASON! The boos are consistent with asking for a Trade!

p.s. - on lighter side folks, in frustration I decided to make sure that developers would FULLY SEE/HEAR the booing, it took me 8 drive attempts for them to foul me!!! ...No I did not take that 27% FG into Save mode, after the foul shots I did a rage quit!!!

Actually 500K only raises it by one then it increases by 500K every time you raise it.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

When I was looking at my Player Card, I noticed the attribute "Shoot off Dribble." Mine was a staggeringly low 55, which I feel contributes to some of my shooting woes.
What I further noticed, was there is no direct way to increase this skill via skill points.

What does this attribute affect, and why is it included if there is no way for us to improve it? Seems unfair if it affects your shooting without any chance of increasing the skill...

i think the way to increase the shoot off dribble rating is to increase the pull-up dribble ability, can anyone confirm this..(mine is average for right now and in attributes its a 65)

Ability; Dribble Pull-Up; I just moved mine to "Great" and it works wonders coming off picks and with simple Dribble Moves (Hesitation). I also moved Fadeaway to Good.

My Shoot off Dribble has moved from 40 to 60, now to get it to Pos Avg of 75, IMHO, I think I need to upgrade my Dribble Abilities.

That Player Card is an extremely useful tool, (POS AVG - Ratings) be careful not to add TOO MUCH to your Shooting Skills. On PAGE 323, I posted what skill points I trimmed to get my Shooting Abilities close to what other NBA stars have in their arsenals.

Since the change my shooting is much more effiecient. With all my Dribble Abilities at "Average" it's still pretty HARD for me to breakdown my defender on the perimeter, so this is my next endeavor. (Hesitation & Crossover) to Good! I float into my own teammates way too much...

Another few random questions:
Does Hustle affect how fast your guy can run around the court? I know it helps on loose balls, but does it cut down on slugishness around the court?
Will increasing Offensive clutch increase my chances of knocking down an open 3. I know you have to play with the default settings, so I assume you are playing "MyPlayer" with clutch factor on. I am at 99 3pts, 99 consistency, 90 Off Awareness, but still miss more open 3s than I should, and watch way too many CPU 3s going in with great defense.

Hustle is a great skill, not only does it help with loose balls it effects rebounds and your ability to "recover" when you get out of position on defense (bad steal attempts). All post men should have this attribute in the 90s! "Instead of looking at the ball, he will dart (w/o your direct influence) to the ball!" Adding to the steal and rebound column.

No; Offensive Clutch only effects your performance in the final minutes of play. Shooting and Foul Shots; you need no more than (70) for this to be exceptional. My Defensive Clutch is (35) and myplayer is a "ball hawk" in the final minutes. Combining the 2, will give you "Jordan Moments" down the stretch with intelligent play. I have at least 4 "Reggie Miller" type performances on my resume! Reggie Miller scores 8 points in 11 seconds: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/espn2...age=moments/90

Switch your Off Awareness to 99!; IMHO you do not need that much Consistency. Derrick Rose is @ (95), was there, finding now that (82) is giving me the same results.

Im at an 84 overall on 360 still not a star player so I havent got any boo birds. Starting to get worried I will be muting my TV later tonight though

Presentation; when it starts or before, Turn down the Crowd to 35, and move up the Players on the court to 90 and you will barely hear the boo-birds. I do not recommend trying to ignore them its just to intense to consistently ignore them.

KNICKS/SCORING PG/SOPH.

Great Dunk ratings number! I will just assume you have an excellent Vertical (90)...you are about ready to BUY something...

Personally, I use Athletic Guard, but I got to go back and check D-Wade's numbers I like his drive down the lane slam (that high-riser he throw down) over defenders! With my emphasis on Abilties at the moment it will probably be towards the end of the season before I can boost to your platform....however, Dunk Packages are big $$$ and I expect to go to camp this year...decisions for tomorrow...

PG/ATHLETIC/76ERS/66 OVR/YEAR 1
NO: First career triple double. Ended up with 29 points, 10 boards, and 10 assists, and accomplished multiple other milestones. I got a lot of my points by just running on the fast break and slamming it home before their defense could really get set. Ended up getting 10k in skill points that I used to bump my passing from a 65 to an 84, bringing up overall up to a 66.

GREAT JOB!

This is the only GAME performance that elludes myplayer. I have yet to produce a Triple-Double! It's probably because I miss time alot of my jumps on rebounds....and I guess it doesn't help that I am looking FOR the kick-out 3 or to dart for the easy the score/assist on fastbreaks...

Recently I will get the boo birds but then later in the game fans will be cheering MVP MVP lol so I have no idea but If I have to restart I will be done with 2k until next season.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Almost to the end of year two, boo birds are flying. Only playing key games maybe the only reason I havent got the drop in my buzz (trade glitch that you didnt request) Hoping to test the FA anyway the Pistons arent much fun playing for.

[dramachild11]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

weird thing happening in my second year, was 11-1 and got hurt for the first time an chose to sit out 8 games to get fully healed, came back after the team went 3-5 without me, and now have won ten straight with me back in the line-up leading the league in scoring but it wont say that in league leaders stats, what the minimum # of games to qualify?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just started my PF and he is playing like a MVP I'm in the Bucks and I'm playing like Kareem.
Playing like 17mins per game but averaging 27 pts 8 rebs 2 assists 2 blocks.

Owning right?
Can I get the MVP in my Rookie Season?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

end of season 2 for my scoring 2 guard on the Pacers. Rated an 80. In round one, we swept the 6ers, and MP was great at shutting down Iggy and Young. It was too easy, really. ANd the Pacers are cranking- Arenas, West, Granger, and Paul George round out the starting 5.

The Heat are next. I have about 10000 SP, but need another 7 to get my post fadeaway to good. I want this because PGs D me up all the time, Chalmers especially, which makes it harder for George and Arenas. If I have a go-to post move, I can demand a sizable defender, then work on quickness to get around them.

Problem is getting 7000 points before we get rocked. I'm tempted to put the 10K into attributes right now- maybe bump up on ball D (at 82), quickness, vertical, and/or dunk (still can't dunk). Also considering upgrading the shoot off dribble.

Decisions....

cp3 shoes give you +5 quickness. use them myself. but the best way to raise speed and quickness is to do the dribble course trick.
