Making the jump to HoF!

Superstar has been great, and I'm getting very competitive games, this is when having Carmelo really helps. Pro was wins handily when I first started playing 2K12, but than making a new save file, I tried All-Star, which were close, but around 10+ point wins; Superstar has made it extremely fun. How do I combat the HoF CPU, and the...cheese???

Averaging 23/6/12 on Superstar.

I never played on any level besides HOF, and some things I tell myself are to just be aware of who's on the court with you and adjust on the fly. If you are defending someone with a weak jumpshot, long or midrange, doubleteam their stars( or whoever is doin good for the opposition), and recover back to your man if they pass it to him. Try to get as many steals as possible, you'll need the extra possessions. And that's all I can think of.

The A-Train - Defend the Title!
Knicks: (43-24) , 1st Atlantic Division, 2nd Eastern Conf, Power Rank: 5 (-2)

OUCH - Taking the Charge!

vs. Nuggets (29-35) - There are many things in this SIM that are very "realistic", however, the ones they got wrong are just infuriating expecially in the higher difficulties (Superstar). Specifically, "difficulty" no matter how intense should not leave you with the feeling you are being made a fool of (cheated).

<img src="http://media.nba2k.2ksports.com/screenshot/3bb39a42.jpg" height="475px" width="710px" border="0" />

In the 1st half we shoot 56% from the field, 33% from 3-pt land and the Nuggets shoot 53% from 3-pt land! (NYK-44 - DEN 48). For the game the Knicks shoot 15% from 3-pt land and the Nuggets shoot 44%! The Knicks would shoot 52% from the field to just 45% for the Nuggets in this one. We commit 13 turnovers to just 4 for the Nuggets. We lose 94-90 @ MSG (i am not even going to comment on Anthony fouling w/ 0.6 seconds left in the game to make the final score 96-90).

A-Train; 29pts (50%), 5 Reb, 9 Asst, 1 Steal, 2 Blocks, 5 TOs (Anthony, 28pts, Stoudemire 17pts)

His mama had tickets: Danilo Gallinari (OVR: 72), SF, 19pts (7-14 - FG)(4-8 - 3pt) ; Aaron Afflalo (OVR: 72), SG, 15pts, (5-6-FG)(2-3 - 3pt)

<img src="http://media.nba2k.2ksports.com/screenshot/cd111e0c.jpg" height="475px" width="710px" border="0" />

This is our House!!!

VS. Nets - Key Game - Rival Matchup - We came out strong in the 1st Qtr building a 33-19 lead, that we would be able to maintain throughout. The A-Train literally stunk it up, (9-25-FG), inpatient on drives where routinely sent back the other way (Lopez & Gortat rotating over) and the jump shot was truly ugly.

However, when the Nets made a run, he threw down one of his patented 2-hand slams & one (8-9 FT). 26pts, 1 reb, 7 asst, 1 Steal, ZERO TOs. (Melo - 23pts & Stoud-19pts)

Knicks 111; Nets 90

His mama had tickets: Marshon Brooks (OVR: 70), SG, 18pts (8-16 - FG)

Gimme That !!!

VS. Raptors - Two things were on my mind; 1) can we win 2 straight games on Supertar level, and the sour taste they left in my mouth after getting thumped (94-82) in Tornoto 8 games ago.

The objectives gave me a good clue, "Record at least 10 assists"....okay, my shot is not coming back in this one. So I concentrated on getting assists, pumping the ball into the low post; driving and pulling up letting Chandler and Stoudemire roll towards me and the basket. Stoud hit his but Chandler's rimmed most of his chances (right at the basket) and we ended with 5 assists and the game knotted at 44-44 at the break.

The second half A-Train was rewarded for his patience with a few good open looks for his jumper and the lane opened up for some momentum raising slams. We beat them down in the 3rd and pull away in the 4th, allowing the A-Train to check out the hotties from the bench for the last 1:52.

24pts (8-13 - FG), 4 rebs, 7 assts, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 TOs (dribbled off Landry Fields' feet twice) (Stoudemire 32pts ; Anthony 22pts)

Knicks 99; Raptors 85

His mama had tickets: Leandro Barbosa (OVR: 72), SG, 24pts (9-22)(6-14 - 3pt)

Skill Points: Since moving to Superstar I had to re-focus on my defense On-Ball- D (95) and Def Awareness (90). I can now steal the ball again from my matchup at (86), but I need to get this to (90) for the playoffs. My 3-pt is at (82) and frankly its terrible! I do not shoot alot of 3s but, at this level I really need to hit 3-4 per game to neutralize the AI in order to win more consistently. Getting to (86) is going to cost 10K SP! With 17 regular season games left it looks like I am going to have to earn my Abilities in the Playoffs.

Tidbit: Despite my gaudy defensive attributes, I cannot shutdown a "Star" matchup at this level. Irronically I have accepted that, it actually feels realistic...a Star is going to get his points regardless (goal: try not to let him get his season average).

For the first time I realized that the "suck in" also occurs on defense....getting sucked into picks!!!

Do u have them saved on your console? After that you can upload them (SHARE SNAPSHOT) to: http://www.nba2k.com

MAIN MENU/FEATURES/MEDIA ZONE/VIEW/SHARE MEDIA....all of your saved files will appear, just load then and hit the share ("O" on PS3 brings up the menu on the actual file when viewing)

Your user name and password @ nba2k is consistent with your console when you purchased the game and first registered.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Lol I figured it out right before you posted.

[Crankykong99]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Uhh.... I have 2 PSN accounts.... but I use 1 NBA2K account for both of them. Is that a problem? Because the snapshots won't appear in the HP Media Zone on the site.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, it appears now.

This is the kind of dunk I don't usually perform on the break (my dunk rating is 60).

Is there anyway to reduce the size? (without saving)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Okay, thanks.

Well, I had a terrible half against the Bucks. I got in Foul Trouble pretty quickly.

Not even 20 seconds in the game, I get called for a block. About a minute in the game I get called for a reach.

They sub me out till the beginning of the second.

About 30 seconds later, I get called for going over the top. I get subbed out until halftime.

My stats? 3 minutes, 1 rebound, 1 turnover.

Superstar is my limit. I just can't master all of the controls to pull it off. Being old may give you patience, but, the hand/eye coordination sucks!

However, once A-Train reaches OVR: 96 (whatever Lebron is); I may just start another PG on Superstar from the begining. No Knicks a weaker team that I can grow with.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

The second half was.... well... a little better.

I actually got stuff done, but I got in foul trouble, and we lost 116-78.

My stat line: 12 minutes, 7 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 turnovers, a terrifying 2-13 from the field, and 2-2 from the line.

PG/ATH/JAZZ/Rookie/OVR: 79

Rookie Show Case Statline:
23 Min 33 Pts 3 Reb 5 Ast 3 Stl 4 T.O. 10-17 FG 13-13 from the line

I enjoyed this game and the stats show why as we were able to give the rookies 3 straight wins.

I finally drew my first career charge in a game that didn't count demarcus cousins was coming at me hard andI just got outside the line set up and was destroyed by him but it was all worth it getting the call.

I Missed the All Star game due to injuries earlier in the year causing me to miss 11 total games.

vs. LA Lakers

I will pick up in the 4th after a high contested 3 quarters in which the jazz held a 77-73 lead.

My Player being the aggressive type forced kobe into 2 quick fouls to start the 4th taking him to 5 fouls.

which has led him to be pulled out and replaced by walton the lack of depth on the lakers bench was quickly exposed as the jazz started pushing to a quick 14-3 run before blake finally ended it with a 3 at the 4:48 mark. Now the lakers were looking at a 12 point deficit.

They brought Kobe back in a minute later and were able to get a small run going before I called a time out to give the momentum back to my team while Kobe was able to help it was too little too late scenario as the Jazz got away with a 99-90 Win.

Notes:

LA is a team that will scare me come playoff time because I honestly believe if Kobe was not in foul trouble this game
they would of won due to the fact they would have a consistent scorer on the court.

LA's Bigs destroyed us on the boards as they out rebounded us 47-36.

MP also recorded his 10th Career Triple Double.

My Stat Line:

42 Min 36 Pts 11 Reb 17 Ast 8 Stl 1 Blk 6 T.O. 12-25 FG 12-12 FT

I love my consistency from the line lately.

After this game I ended up with almost 15,000 points so I upped my Dribble Pull-up to good now.

I'm 5 seasons in and now have 10 HoF achievements. I'm considering retiring. Being an NBA player is really stressful.
