Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Started a new MP. I felt SF was way to easy for me. PG 6'4 athletic had 13 pts, 11 assists, 9 boards, 6 steals in the showcase. Went to Golden State, should rack up assists with curry and ellis. Do you think running plays is smart being a PG? Golden State seems like a team I need to get out and run with and not have a great half court offense with.

PG/3PT/PISTONS/Year 5/OVR 85

Wow.... this was just a terrible game...

I had 44 points, 5 rebounds, NO ASSISTS, 7 steals, and 2 blocks.

Nobody could make a shot but me.

It felt I was literally the only one scoring.

And the final score? 86-96.

This was against Utah, by the way.

WOW, as a starter I don't think I have had a game where I couldn't get a assist. who are your teammates? if you freelance I suggest P&R/P&P. Maybe go to scrimmage and find your teammates spots.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My teammates are Monroe, Stuckey, and a lot of draft pick people.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

How good are the draft picks because I assume that they are late round picks due to the bug. I would do P&R with Monroe and hope stuckey is on your side for a kickout option assuming your just freelancing. but I would want to go to a team with more big men personally.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So, I had a 3pt specialist PG and decided to start over as an athletic pg. I was hoping to aim for an AI style of play, but man I have a hard time driving to the rim.

I'm averaging 14 ppg and about 7 assists in my rookie season so far. I just can't seem to get to the rim. I only get one or two buckets in the paint per game.

The season is also going horribly. I was traded to the Timberwolves, and we've only won 8 games out of 30 something. Only two of those were after I got traded there. It's incredibly frustrating. The two games we won were purely on the shoulders of Beasley.

Teammate buzz is over 75, though the other two are under 40. I just don't really know what to do at this point. Every time I try to drive to the rim I get bumped and have to dish it out.

I was doing really well with my 3pt pg, but I thought I'd enjoy a more physical style of play. Maybe I suck at it because that's not what I did when I played in real life?

I picked pg so I could call plays and control the team, but would I do better if I actually made a character that was the position I played? I was a 3.

Sorry this was so long.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Feeling guilty taking minutes from curry and ellis. I wanted to play out my rookie contract but they dont need any more PG/SG play. Any suggestions?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Yeah, they are late draft picks, because of the bug.

The only good teammates on this team are Stuckey and Monroe.

I think Rip retired.

Last time I checked the ovr of this team (when I was on the Bulls), it was 62. I hope they fulfill my trade request, soon. But the best part is, I'm the best guy on the team for once (OVR 85)

I would work with the P&R and get assist until you learn how to euro/hop step into the paint (layup is really important for you at this point I'd also add to midrange so they have to respect you. Running the team is so fun atleast to me.

Good Job, you can really thrive there as the PG of the future.

Feeling guilty taking minutes from curry and ellis. I wanted to play out my rookie contract but they dont need any more PG/SG play. Any suggestions?

I would suggest you ask for a trade after 5 games to a team you feel needs a pg because the teams that have young PGs will end up becoming key match ups for you.

which teams did you request too? and yea that is a terrible bug i'm just glad i'm with the jazz which iirc will be a lottery pick.

What is the draft bug?

The draft goes in alphabetical order so 76ers will always get first pick and wizards will always be last.

[Crankykong99]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Instead of team's getting draft positions by the lottery and certain position in the playoffs, the draft positions are decided alphabetically. Therefore, 76ers are first, Bobcats are second, and the Wizards are last. Same for the second round.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I requested one to the Bulls, Knicks (Melo is still there but not Stat), and the Jazz. (both bigmen are still there and there's steph curry)

Well all 3 are good places, where is rose at? I can not say enough how much I love Utah's front court depth I want a stockton/malone relationship with them if at all possible.
