Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

i play 12 minutes quarters so i play like the actual game. and sim time is also 12 minutes. but this was just terrible.. its one thing to be down by 11 with 7 minutes left in the second quarter but then suddenly in those 7 minutes they score 40 points. how is that even possible, only time that could happen is the all star game, not an important play off game where if we lose we're out. i just turned off the game, no point in playin second half when were down by that much.

also i see you are a pg with the knicks. do you have to score many ppg to win? cause i do. melo is not taking open shots, i get him open and he does not shoot. my pf and c are nene and jordan hill and they suck too, especially hill who cant even knock down an open layup, then sg is joe johnson, he's ok, he shoots when i get him open and knocks down 3s when theyre open. but still i gotta have like 30 ppg for us to win, and thats with at least 7 assists as well. they just miss open shots, or dribble to many times when i pass so i dont get an assist, or if i would have gotten an assist they miss the shot and get fouled. its really irritating. started this save a long time ago, before any patch so the trading was there, therefore i have no billups who was traded for joe johnson and stat was traded for nene and ty lawson

I hear ya, and yes, some weird stuff goes on! Melo not shooting, that's a real problem, is he recovering from an injury...

Do you run plays? I highly recommend this, especially with the Knicks.

Rookie Season: 17ppg Playoffs: 25 ppg
2nd Season: 21 ppg
I have both Melo and Stoudemire though.

With this team you should only need to drop 15-20 ppg!

Nene is a low post player pass only when he posts up or at the high post to start the play!
Joe Johnson is a bruiser, he likes to post up/bully his Guard matchup, give him the ball on the wing occasionally he has a nice mid-range jumper, but more than likely he will try and drive so give him space.

If he gets stuck go get the ball and wait a second for him to post up (believe me he will do it quickly), then give him the ball again.

Melo is a wing player who likes to shoot jumpers and drive. Always be alert for when he calls for the ball, he is HOT then. Always look for him on Fastbreaks, he will give you easy Assists, he loves to run the sidelines and shoot 3s on the break!

Go to Melo when he has the ball and give him a pick when he does that circle jerk dribbling!


Playoffs are frustrating....here is a tip, you are not supposed to score high in all games, just the ones Melo is slumping!!!

yeah i've noticed it, when melo is hot he is hot! but my favorite teammate has to be joe. he shoots 3s, drives, takes mid range shots. actually on the fastbreak i tend to use joe more than melo, they both run the wing and get open for 3s but melo misses them all the time :S while joe knocks down pretty much every one on the fastbreak.

yes i run plays, makes playing a lot easier.

and YES!! the playoffs were so frustrating. we played magic in the first round. i was averaging 37ppg and 7 assists!! i HAD TO for us to win. first game i had 44p 7 assists, second game i had like 37 points and 6 assists, 3rd game 35 points or something and 10 assists, fourth game i had over 30 points and i thing 9 assists. they were killing us from long range! arenas, turkoglu, richardson, anderson and reddick knocked down every open 3, and i could only guard one of them, the rest of my team did a terrible job defending so at least one of them was allways open.


wish i had stat too though, his nuggets finished #1 seed out west.

I made the jump, Superstar Difficulty, at the moment it's not going well for the Knicks! I must be a gluton for punishment, I pick a stretch with matchups that include John Wall, Derrick Rose, and Chris Paul.

Interesting that I average more TOs but I am doing fine on Superstar with the Knicks. What are your FG% for these games? And how are you doing with the plays? That seems to be the difference between you winning/losing. It is important to learn how to use Carmelo (which you seem to know) and Amar'e (important--he can be a 55% shooter when used right). The role players are awful but it would be interesting to see how we use them.

Rebounding (as a team) seems to be the other big factor. I will post my game analysis/stats when school is over.

Your username & password are consistent with your console.

It's okay, it keeps track of stats and also boosts your online profile. And you can take snapshots in game via HP Media Zone and post the pics...here...

The video up-load is too erratic though.

we just SMASHED the Spurs at MSG, 96-83, it was just a slump.

25pts, 5 Reb, 4 asst, 2 stls, 1 blk, 4 tos.

I must be employed by Greyhound because I did all the Driving!

11-11 from the charity stripe and 4 baskets in the paint!
Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard fouled out w/ 2:34 to go!

I am NOT shooting well at the moment. That trimming of Skill point Fat (Shot Med - 82) is coming back to haunt me on this level. I am shooting @ 46%, I usually shoot 51-57 on Pro, so I am looking for 49% on Superstar.

p.s. - Melo (.526) & Stoud (.537) are BOTH in the top 5 in Field Goal percentage!

The Heat are next; You want to see my best or worst quarter of play?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

looks to me in all them losses that rebounding was your issue. They had a lot more shots than you did.

Rebounds and turnovers, I think they have a symbiotic relationship with momentum for sure. I mean that when you have momentum you'll rebound well and when you don't you're more prone to TOs. That said, if the team ain't rebounding well, I am pretty convinced you are less likely to hit an open J. I think in the algorithms etc... that determine hot/cold and momentum swings the biggest thing that affects a team's shooting is rebounding.

Yes, my conspiracy theory is that rebounding is (somewhat unjustly) linked to shooting percentage. The commentators harp on rebounding a lot. Like when they say "double-digit difference on the boards" one team is usually canning all sorts of crazy shots and the other one can't hit anything.

But conspiracy theories aside, more boards means more looks, more looks means more points. My Pacers team last year was ultimately undone by a Hibbert injury and we just got bossed on the boards and were eliminated in the second round by the Heat. Nothing worse than forcing Lebron to take a D challenged jumper and have them grab the offensive board.

I've done what I can as SF to get good rebounding attributes and I average about 8 a game, and it helps the team. It means less transition though.

With three offensive weapons on the Knicks (you, Melo, Amar'e) I let Melo and Amar'e take over on offense, even though I'm a 95 in all offensive categories. You seem to use them well, seeing their FG%. For me:

Jackson (me): .533
Amar'e: .548
Carmelo: .521

Are you playing pass first or not? With a high offensive attributes, I can score with limited shots, and whatever looks I get. The only time I'll take over in scoring is when they're struggling, or I have a mismatch, because my post moves are unstoppable. Sort of playing like Chris Paul v. 2.0. Pass-First, but can absolutely take over. I'm probably the #1 PG in the leauge. I'll post some pictures from my MP.

What are Melo and Amar'e PPG?

I think that drop in FG% you have is because the Opponent AI plays better--including defense. It tells me you could be taking better shots, but you are shooting a decent % for a guard, still.

I'm a turnover machine, because I'm handling the ball on 90% of our plays, which constitue 90% of our possessions. Help?

Interesting to see how we compare and constrast as Knicks PGs! Just pulled something from www.nba2k.com:

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

It's probally been asked but I don't wanna dig for three hours. What's the best team to get drafted by when myplayer is a pg? Also what pick is that team do I know how good/bad to do

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Quick question:

I'm nearly done with my first season in MP. (6'3 Shooting Guard - Minnesota Timberwolves.)

I haven't spent much time around the forum, but I've read of people having practically their entire team being traded away. I just got into April in my season, and there have been 2 trades in the entire league thus far. I'm assuming I'm past the deadline since I no longer have the "My Trades" option and the Rumor Mill is no longer a selectable option in the menu.

Exactly what date was the deadline? Just curious.

If you're curious, the trades were as follows, and came earlier in the season:

PHX receives: Lamar Odom, Delonte West
DAL receives: Steve Nash
___________________

CHA receives: Nazr Mohammed, '13 First Round pick
OKC receives: Corey Maggette


First trade makes sense.

Second trade = Ouch for OKC. A 1st rounder for Maggette? He's backing up Durant, but proved to be a servicable spot-starter when Durant went down earlier in the season. At least when I played them anyways.

It's nearly impossible to get drafted in the exact position that you'd prefer. Whatever team you end up on, you can play 5+ games and then request a trade to 1-3 teams of your choice. Avoid boosting your attributes before the trade goes through, because then it will cost more for your desired team to acquire you.

You can flip through the player stats to see what teams have low-ranked starting PGs. Off the top of my head, I would suggest maybe Portland or Charlotte (Tyrus Thomas is a stud in this game for some reason, and Charlotte signed Dwight Howard after 2011-2012 in my alternate reality).

I think the trade deadline is on or about All Star Weekend. Before that time, you can go into My Trades and see exactly how many days are remaining.

Also, the crazy trade issue was addressed by one of the patches, so that's why there aren't many in your league.

Depends what you want to do... Be the No.1 offensive guy, pass first, form a big three (like me in NYC)...

The best overall would be: Denver, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Philly

Depends on the role you want. Tell me and i can help further.
