Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

After my 96 point game right now I average 31.2 PPG, 5 RPG, 9 APG, 7 SPG, 1 BPG, with 10 games left I'm still trying to break the NBA record for points.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Glad to see you back playing MP. Warning the Turnovers are frustrating on Superstar. You are a highly skilled and experienced player but be cautious with the ball. There is hardly any "on-man" defense, most of the time defenders are jumping the passing lanes! Think super MIAMI HEAT defense...everyone has the anticipation, speed and pass tipping skills Lebron has!!!

I got 2 in one sequence where I had a pass tipped and stole the ball, then my momentum sent me for a back court violation!

Most of the time, it is because I tend to force the issue. In this game if your teammate is open, 75% of the time he isnt. I have to know "when" to pass it rather force it. The "push the ball up the court" turnover can be prevented. The "lose ball when contacted" cannot be. In my association, my PG has A+ Ball Security and he still lose those types of TOs.
I will choose a scoring PG mainly because so I can have the ability to shoot at the early part of my career. I will still try to be a distributor. With all theses new transactions,I wont have a preferred team. If anything, I might be very negative in the interviews and see how far I fall in the draft. Lowest team I been to is the Mavs.
I think the 1st things, I will boost is Shot Med to 90, Pass, FT to 85, Layup to 80. I will then work on On Ball D and Steal. But, the thing I want to work on the most is Fadeaway to Great.

Too many turnovers for me.

My 3pt SG, 99 overall in the 7th season currently lead the league in assists with 9.2 apg after all-star break (seem like other star pgs including the generated one got too low assists after several seasons) I also lead the league in turnovers with 3.4. hard to get assists as a SG when you can't call play. PnR for me doesn't work well. the rollman seem not to get in the proper position for me to get assists and I commit turnovers a lot.

A few games that I got 20+asts, I also got 8-9 turnovers too.

I didn't trun the play on since I don't wanna limit what me and my team will do each possesion. My teammate

I also play as Derrick Rose in create a legend, near the end of the season, I lead the league with 12.5 apg but also got 3.6 turnovers/game. Most of the time, I just call quick play to ask my SG to cut to the basket.

I should get more assists and less turnovers but when my team in the huge lead in 4th quarter, my coach will bench all starters, excluding me. Being left playing with bench mobs, mostly my teammates will miss a lot of shots and they can't score efficiently. When I try to boost my assists by forcing pass, I will up getting a lot turnovers too or even the pass reach my teammates, they will stupidly miss or getting block a lot of times. So during the 4th quarters, I try to pass and create a play for my teammates but they can't score and CPU will make a comeback. If trying to pass for them too much, I will get turnovers. Usually I have to score by myself to keep the gap during the 4 quarters.

There is one time that I got 20 assists with 3 turnovers at the end of 3rd quarter. When I have to play with benches almost the entire 4th quarter, I ending up got 22 assits and 7-8 tunovers at the end.


Played on allstar now. Still huge win most of the time but there are a few games that CPU make ridiculous comeback. Feel like allstar is abit easy for me but superstar is a bit hard. Can't find proper baclance yet. On higher difficulties, even on superstar or HOF, I still be able to score 50+ points if I want but my team will usually end up losing. (Can steal the ball a lot too, about 5-6spg no matter what the difficulties I play)

I was going to start tomorrow, but started tonight.
PG Chuck Taylor
6'3 210
Scoring

I had a great rookie showcase. I had 14pts(50%), 9 assists, 1 steal, and only 2 TOs. I got drafted to Mavs. I answered poorly and fell to them. It is actually a good fit.
Thanks to 5+ Shot Med Shoes and good XP from showcase and drills, I got Shot Med to 90 before even playing a game. I will get Layup to 80 and FT to 85. 2 Small Ratings 1st, then pass then Shoot in Traffic

I got Layup to 79 using the drills. My 1st two games are against CHI and SPURs. I will only play Key Games. I will get Layup to 80 and stop. I will boost FT to 85. Then Boost Pass to 85+. Mainly to help my sim stats. I will boost Shoot in Traffic and Consistency to 85.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

All-Star/Sim is too easy to win...
Superstar/Sim and HoF/Sim is just cheese...

I don't want to play All-Star difficulty though so it's annoying.

Me, Carmelo and Amar'e are just running the league at this point, with me switching between All-Star and Superstar difficulties: We're 32-10, All-Star starters this year, 1st/2nd/4th in the MVP Award race, and we're all Top15 in the league...All-Star is a bit too easy; top teams will still hang with you, but there is a difference.

How to get a good gameplay that is harder than All-Star without the CPU cheese... Because i dont want to win the title every year in my MP's career.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

This will eventually stop as you get your rebounding skills up. I have been there...oh...wait...don't you just love how the "little man" can push you off the block with no problem? And wait until Earl Boykins "contests" your shot in the low post...or blocks it!

the problem is that on my player card rebounding is 99. i have a 90 offensive rebound and 91 on defensive. still boykins got a rebound from me.. even steve kerr was surprised he mentioned something like great anticipation by the little man to get that rebound before all the bigger guys.. it was pretty embarrassing. if it was real life it would probably have become a very popular youtube video when a 5'5 guy outrebounds a 6'10 center who's averaging around 10 rpg and is among the best rebounders in the game.

How do you get those shoes so early? People always mention attribute bonus shoes but I don't know how to get them.

You actually just go into your My Player, and I've got no idea what the heading in the menu of My Player is called - I believe it's called My Player. So click that, it opens up a side menu, go down to 'My Shoes' and it'll be on Jordan's already, hit your back trigger a few times until you're in the Nike category, scroll all the way down, and you'll see a bunch of attribute shoes.

Sorry if that's confusing. It'll make sense if you read it as you play. :b

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Dude, the MyPlayer draft goes in Alphabetical order after the first year?

What the hell? This hasn't been fixed? That's kind of a game killer...

Yeah, it pretty much killed the mode for me. Traded picks don't even matter

I've been playing this whole rookie season thinking "You know, this is probably the most fun I've had in a Franchise-style season ever."

To find out I'm headed for a terrible team because I'm on the T'Wolves is really, really, really disappointing.

I mean, how did this happen? Did Ronnie ever say?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

has anyone else who plays center noticed how annoying the camera is sometimes during the tip of? i've lost it so many times cause the camera shows the back of a player when the ref throws the ball in the air. then the camera changes and the other player has already gotten the ball.
