    Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

    My rookie PG just had his best games of his young career. He had 26pts and 10 assists off the bench. But, he had 7 TOs. The main reason is I played 42 mins off the bench in a blowout loss. They shouldve just took me out after 33. That was my 1st double double, 1st 20 pt game, 1st shot 60% in game, and 1st 10 assists game.
    I got Shoot in Traffic to 90 and Consistency to 84. I will stop at 85 because it is starting to get very expensive, I will use Shooting drill to continue boosting it. I have 3 key games left in season. I achieved my goal. My goal was to improve my scoring ability and have the ability to pass. With Shot Med, FT, and Shoot in Traffic at 90+, It gives me at least 3 ways to score. With Consistency being at 85+, I can feel comfortable shooting without going into major slump. Goal for next year is to improve defense, ball handling, and physical rating. I set it up like that so by my 3rd year, I am a complete player and ready to break out. In my last 3 games, I will work on Hustle.

    I doubt we(Mavs) make the playoffs. We are 9th place. We have about 7-8 games left and only one team isnt .500 or better. I think we only won 1 or 2 key games I played this year. Almost every loss was a blowout. It isnt our offense. Our defense is horrible. Mainly because my lack of athleticism and defensive skills, I am a liability on defense, but I dont really give up a alot of points. I have trouble against Athletic PGs who can score, especially if they are defensive. I hate going up against Lowry, Parker, and Ginolbi 4 times a year. We are at the point where a loss can potentially drop us down. Another reason we lose alot is we dont have a true Center. Dirk starts at Center and Odom at PF. We dont have a high reb guy. Dirk is better at his true position and Odom is best off the bench and he is basically a tall SF. We always lose the reb battle.

    I usually dont request trades. I usually stick it out with the team that drafts me and stay until contract is up. Only time I ask for trade is when they add another player of same position, dont like the direction of team, talent, or draft bug. I might ask for a trade. Dirk, Jet, Marion, Carter, and Odom arent going to get any better. They will progress and retire in next 3 years. So, they will be a rebuilding team in a few years. Because of the draft bug, they will only get average players at best. The team I have to be in top 15 of draft, but not lower in 6(it would take fun out being surrounded by top draftees), have a 1-2 reliable perimeter shooters, solid front court, a guy that has that can finish in traffic, and most importantly not a star/future star PG on the team. Only team that closely fits that mold is Magic. That would be a great option ONLY IF Dwight stays there. If he is there next year, I wont heisitate to ask for a trade there.
    I bought Ray Allen FT and Tony Parker's Layup. After I get done with next year's goals or get a big milestone, I will save up FadeAway ability

      A couple major problems I have with this game: the computer ai is absolutely terrible. I'm in a game against the pacers right now and Danny granger and Paul George are 4-16 (1-11 from 3) and 1-9 respectively to start the 3rd quarter! They keep taking dumb shots. I can't complain because these are the 2 players my guy has been guarding. But still. On the opposite side of the spectrum in a recent game against the magic they went 30-52 from 3. Wtf are you kidding me?

        So I started a new MP (SG/Slasher) now that all the trades are done for the season.

        Got drafted by the 76ers. I don't know why. They have Iggy at SF, and they have Turner at the two. Not sure why they would bring in yet another guard. I did my 5 game minimum, and requested a trade.

        Traded to the Clippers. Yes!!! Or so I thought. This team REALLY doesn't want to move Billups from the starting rotation. Even though I'm putting up 20 or so a game, my playing time increases at a snail's pace. No matter how well I do, I usually only get an increase of 1 minute in PT. At this point, I have nearly 30 minutes of PT a game, but I'm still coming off the bench. I decided F this and requested another trade.

        Now I land in Orlando. Since my PT carried over from my last team, I quickly nudge J-Rich to the bench. I would have liked to have him at SF, but they seem insistent on keeping Hedo at starting SF. Getting to play with D12 is obviously the best part of getting traded here, but I like the rest of my team well enough. However, we'd be much better off if Glen Davis would realize he's not a scorer, especially not a jump shooter, and quit taking so many shots.

        Currently, we are sitting at a very uncomfortable 7th spot in the conference. On the bright side, we are 7-3 since I got here, and we've had wins over top tier teams like the Bulls and Thunder, so I feel really good about us going forward. There's a little over half the season left to go, and we are just getting better.

          Glen Davis is on my HOU team (this was before trade logic was fixed) and he always takes jumpers. Even 3 pointers in transition. He makes a few but I get angry when he shoots em

              Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

              So I decided to go back to my original PG for a bit. I had originally become discouraged with him since the season with the Timberwolves has become unsalvageable. Nothing left to do but try to get my buzz up and look towards next season. Unfortunately, I don't think a horrid performance as a team and my buzz being so low will get me remotely close to Rookie of the Year. That's hugely disappointing.

              It has been incredibly difficult to raise my buzz. I had requested a lot of trades right out of the gate with this guy, and he was my first MP so I had been playing horribly. Can't seem to get League and Local Fan above 45. Teammate is finally over 90, but it's too late in the season. We would have to go on a near perfect winning streak for the last twenty games to get into the playoffs, I think. I think I'll only play key games the rest of the season to get it over with.

              I'm still having trouble getting up to 10 assists more than once every three games or so. I also have a bad habit of trying to draw the foul on my layups too much, so when it doesn't happen I end up with a horrid shot while bouncing between defenders like a pinball - though it is incredibly fun when it goes in anyway. Increasing my layup and shoot in traffic has helped that incredibly. I get more than one and1 every game now.

              Either way, its time to key game the rest of the season. I don't want "The Monster" to progress too fast. I'll post some stats when MyNBA2k updates next.

              Here's a fun graphic I made with him - its what I do when someone else is using the TV.

              "You honestly don't really feel it when the shots are going down. You don't ever get the goose bumps until the fans start to appreciate what you're doing."

                This glitch in MP has not been patched. I doubt it can be, or ever will be addressed.

                  My rookie PG had the worst game of his career against Spurs in a must win game. My 7 pts, 6 assists, and 3 rebs off the bench was okay. But, my ELEVEN turnovers and under 30% shooting was the main reason we loss. I hope that is the last time I face them. I plan on asking for a trade very early next season. Spurs have 3-5 players with 65+ Steal, so If I am not near the player it is best for me not to pass it. That game was so bad, I didnt get any XP for it.

                    This team really sucks, and the uniforms don't help matters. I'm thinking about requesting a trade to another team... top 3 on my list would be the Magic, Spurs, and the Celtics.
                    I'm in my second year with the Jazz. I'm a Center-Athletic. I'm undersized and it sux sometimes but i can also blow past some guys. I'm 6'9 250.. I love playing as a Lefty.

                    The jazz do suck I'm 21-38 and we have won 6 of 10! I said screw it. turned off plays and call for the ball more and try to slash in, get a foul or sometimes slam it down. I am up to 18.8pts, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 blks, 1.4 steals. I foul out a lot and get myself on the bench sometimes because of early foul trouble. The fans hate me Teamates love me, the league is 50-50 .

                    I'm a jazz fan and I'm thinking of being a scorer-SG or a slasher SF. These are areas where they are weak. We'll see.. but I'm addicted to it. I love that you can save a game.

                      I just requested a trade from the Jazz for my PG... couldn't handle all the losing, and tired of crappy teammates. Listed the Magic as my top destination.

                        My league wide popularity and local fan support both just dropped 20 points. Anyone have any idea why this happened? I have not requested a trade.

                          New York Knicks: 44-12 (1)-Time for All-Stars!

                          24.1 PPG/12.2 APG/6.0 RPG/2.3 SPG/1.8 BPG

                          We just keep rolling, and no one can stop us. Against one of our rivals, and my PG rival (in game) in Derrick Rose, we won 122-119. Carmelo had 30, me and Stoudemire both had 25, and Bogans/Ilgauskas/Douglas all finished with 10 points apiece, and our dominant 6-man rotation again does a high % of scoring. I finished with 25/6/18 and 3 steals, and 3 blocks in another monster game. Carmelo's huge game and Amar'e's double-double makes us 1st, 2nd, and 4th in MVP Award Race currently. Nice to see my defense getting recognized, and I'm 3rd in DPOY Award Race (2.3 SPG/1.8 BPG)

                          All three of us are padding our vote leads in All-Star Voting, and the line-ups look to be:

                          Rose, Jackson (me), Anthony, Stoudemire, Howard
                          Paul, Bryant, Durant, Nowitzki, Jefferson

                          It'll be fun to play to 2-guard in All-Star Weekend.

                          ===
                          For anyone who wants to play higher difficulty (Superstar/HoF), these are some things that are most important:

                          1. Offensive Efficiency (high % shots, create easy shots for team-mates, draw fouls)--especially important for a guard.

                          2. Shut Down Opposing Star(s)--double-team them and get them out of rhythm

                          3. Maximize Possessions (Low TO)
                          4. Limit Opposing Possessions (steals, blocks)
                          5. Utilise Mismatches--especially in the post
                          6. Get Star(s) in Foul Trouble--put it on the floor and drive the lane

                                You are the first to report it happening on the XBOX which leads me to believe this is an OLD problem not something that started after the last update/patch.

                                I have 2 players with this problem one @ (82)-Center and one @ (93) - PG with this VERY IRRITATING problem. The lowering of the LFS & LWP will stop the booing but it will remove your player from MVP qualifications also. Video of Booing (LFS & LWP shown): http://youtu.be/Qs3wjby9lKg

                                It did not effect the All-Star vote results and myplayer made it as a Reserve in his Soph season.
