Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Looks like you have quite a bit of work to do

Definitely. Im a liability on defense. My Athleticism and Defense is below average. Heck I dont even try to lead solo fastbreaks because I always get caught from behind. Unless it is a 2-1 FB or a 3-1 FB, I just slow it down. Not too mention, my Ball Handling is terrible. I can keep the bad passes in check, but I cant stop the sliding CPU from snatching everything within reach.
I can reach the 1000 pt milestone and 500 assist milestone in the 1st half of the season(maybe late 1st-early 2nd month). By then, I should already be done with Defense(On Ball and Steal) and working on Ball Handling and Stamina.
I think I am about to play my final game with the Mavs later today. It is funny hearing the crowd scream "Trade Him, Trade Him".

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm still in my rookie season, but I decided to wait to skill up steal. Its still down in the 60s. But I maxed out my vertical at 99 very early, and I play fairly loose defense. It backfires sometimes, but I usually play off my man a decent amount so I can sprint to the hoop as soon as I see the ball go up.

I'd probably get over 10 rebounds a game very easily if I didn't have Kevin Love as a teammate.

How many rebounds does Love average?

My vertical is on 99 as well, and my rebounding attributes are maxed, but I still can't consistently grab rebounds, it's like they cheat me out of them. If I don't jump basically by myself, the game will most likely let the CPU tap the ball out of my hands, and/or make me jump low, or sometimes not at all.

In fact, all my attributes are maxed out.

Yea, I know what u mean with the low attributes, been there, I was full of joy once I got everything up to where I felt comfortable.

Hope you don't get traded for Dwight Howard. This is what happened to me when i tried to get my noob 63 OVR point guard traded from the Jazz to Orlando! Kinda put a kink in my plans.

I hope not. I am hoping that I get traded for Nelson. I am currently boosting On Ball D. So after my next game, my OVR should get to 71.
That is why I created a backup save.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

What I did was play the required 5 games for the Magic and then ask to be traded back to the Jazz, which they did swapping me for Jefferson since they now needed a center. Trade logic in this game can be fun to play with.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Wooooowwwwwwwwwwww you have got to be kidding me. My my player literally broke the game. I was shooting 81% for the year and 93% free throws. I made so many that the game literally reset my makes in both categories. So I am now officially listed as .006% field goals and .173 on free throws. Averaging 70.6 ppg through 78 games with 13 field goals in over 2500 attempts and 237 free throws in 1368 attempts is mathematically impossible.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So I've flip flopped back and forth and decided to stick with the Jazz for the time being... and it paid off as I went off on the Nuggets, 41 pts, 7 rebs, and 7 assists in leading us to a 117-90 win, snapping our big losing streak.

Currently 23 games through and sit at 5-18.

Averages:
18.5 pts
4.4 rebs
5.4 ast
1.5 stl
1.0 blk

Purchased Ray Allen's jumper a couple games ago (so smooth).

Key attributes:
Shot Medium 82
Layup 87
Shoot in Traffic 80
Off-Hand Dribbling 80
Ball Security 80
Pass 85
Hands 80
Speed 88
Quickness 90 (With +5 shoes on)

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So I recently go this game and this is my player

I'm a 3pt specialist point guard and during my rookie showcase I passed pretty well but shot abysmally going 1-12 my only shot being a 3 late in the 3rd. I finished the showcase with 4 points (1 free throw made) 6 assists and 2 rebounds.

Despite this less than impressive outing I got the attention of the suns, the jazz and the warriors. Well I promptly told all three of these teams that I didn't want any part of their organizations and felt I was going to be the GOAT. Luickily for me the Mavericks felt the same way and decided to use their first round pick to select me.


My first game didn't go so well I only played 13 minutes went 1-4 had 3 turnovers and only 1 assist. I got all of my minutes at shooting guard since Jason Kidd for some reason had more clout in the organization than I did and they seemed to think he was better suited to run the offense..


I took my role as the 6th man and made the most of it, playing only key games until the last month of the season I worked my overall up to the high 60s and had became a legitimate 3 point threat with a knack of finding the open man. In fact my play was good enough to win the last two ROTM awards and I even won the last player of the month award. Management took notice of this because with 5 games left in the season and despite kidd leading the league in assists they decided to take old dead legs out of the starting line up and give "Houdini" his shot.

The season ends and my Mavs managed to win the 4th seed with a 47-35 record. I won 6th man of the year but Ricky Rubio managed to snatch away the Rookie of the year award.

My stats for the season were

18 mins 11 ppg 2 rpg 4 apg 41% from the field 43% from deep 1.4 turnovers

I begin my postseason career later on tonight

Big 3 vs. Big 3

We play those a$$es from South Beach later tonight. Like Bulls vs. Heat irl, this is probably a look at the ECF, and it's 3 All-Stars vs. 3 All-Stars. Except us in NYC (me, Melo, Amar'e) were all All-Star Starters this year and the Big 3 in South Beach (Wade, James, Bosh) were all All-Star Reserves this year . I was looking at the metric stats and I realize I shouldn't try to get my bench involved as much as I do. Our "Big 3" points per 100 possessions are a ridiculous 118, so I'll try to get us involved in more shots, and just let the bench guys low shot totals, but high quality shots.

I've been on a tear recently, and thinking of moving to HoF. Averaging 34/7/15 recently and my MVP lead widens. Carmelo is in second and Amar'e is in fourth

They reset my steals every year(usually after all-star break). I'm usually averaging between 9-11 spg, but by year's end(idk specifically when), my stats are back to normal. Hope it's the same for ya Player.

I learned something today!

A little up and down to begin the new season, losing the first 3, then bouncing back to .500 (3-3).

Things appear to be headed in the right direction after re-committing to solid defense and placing my teammates scoring ahead of A-Train's.

21.7ppg, 2.3 rebs, 5.0 assists, 3.0 steals. FG%: .540 ; 3P%: .154; FT: .870

Skill Points: Maxed On-Ball Defense. Still need a little work on rebounds (Off - 47, Def - 59) and free throws (89) at this level (SUP/SIM); then I can just concentrate on Abilities.

By the way, what base and release is everyone using? Its awfully hard to tell from the edit player screen how high a base is. I'm looking for the highest jump animation possible for the base. Anyone know what it is?

I use 27 Release & 40 Base; its slow but it's maximum height on the jumper.

p.s. - yet to date to complete a triple double. I always fall short somewhere by one. I will probably record a quadruple double before getting a pure triple!

EDIT TO ADD QUESTION:

I don't remember what I had before, but I got frustrated with it and just purchased Ray Allen's jumper. Best decision I've made.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

How many minutes is everyone playing? I feel 12 minutes is far too long but it gives the most realistic stats which I like.

Always 12, never less.

You are doing yourself a disservice playing any less.
