Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just beat the Spurs 121-117.

In 17 minutes, I had 6 points on 3/6 shooting (1-2 on 3), 2 rebounds (D), 5 assists, 1 TO, and 1 steal. I got an A+ grade and lost my position battle.

In 11 minutes against Dragic, I allowed 4 points on 2-3 shooting, and he committed foul. In 6 against Derek Fisher (HATE the CPU trade logic...), I allowed 2 points on 1-2 shooting (0-1 on 3), and he committed 1 TO.

Plus/minus was -9.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

you did win the game by 25 points so its not like you HAD to score that much, you could have just got other people involved. That's just observation from here though, i obviously didn't see you play or see how close the game was throughout.

I probably could of got away with not scoring as much, but my teammates weren't scoring like they were during the season because Dallas was playing good defense and I didn't play the last 5-6 min of the game due to foul trouble and my team outscored them by 8-10 that final quarter so it extended the lead quite a bit.

I had 43 pts at the half so I slowed it down during the 2nd half and should of had 10+ assist, but the balls kept bouncing around/off the rim for my teammates.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Well I requested a trade. I requested to go to 1.Hawks 2.Magic 3. Mavericks

I got traded to the Orlando Magic. This is my 3rd team, year 1 i got drafted by the Rockets but got traded to NY mid season. After last year with the Knicks, I decided to request a trade here in year 2 since we had a log jam at PG(5 pgs on roster, 4 of us rated in the mid 70's) and now I'm a member of the Magic. they traded Glen Davis and a no-name for me.

In my first game we played the Bulls, I was in foul trouble all game and only played 18 minutes. In the 18 minutes I had 7 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists. We won 88-85

In my second game on the Magic I went off against New Jersey. I had 39 pts on 15-26 shooting, 6 rebounds, 18 assists, 3 steals. Dwight had an amazing game too, most of my assists were to him. He had 34 points, 25 rebounds. We went on to beat NJ 117-103

Right now I love playing in Orlando, we are 8-1, best record in the league. Before I came here I looked in the rumor mill and Dwight was saying that he was leaning towards free agency after the season. So my goal is to win a ring with him this year and change his mind.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Also, If anyone else is a PG for the Magic, can you give me some good plays to run. Just money plays that give Hedo or Anderson or someone an open three or a good play for Dwight or whatever. Also I'm looking for a double screen, havent found one yet. I had a couple go to plays with the Knicks, but now in Orlando I can't find any plays that work out good. Thanks

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I wanted to let people know about the Mavericks's line-up that annoys me.

PG - J. Kidd
SG - V. Carter
SF - S. Marion
PF - L. Odom
C - D. Nowitzki

This has to be the most annoying line-up to play defense against and play on offense against with the except of Kidd not having the speed to keep up with me when I am driving.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does anyone have any strategies for getting past your man 100% of the time, or close to it when you don't have the ball? I'd like to get open but I can't because it seems like I'm also controlling my matchup. I also can't pump fake anyone. This is on pro level, as a small forward by the way.

Also it seems impossible to get assists. I pass to an open man and close to 99% of the time he'll airball it or bounce it off the front of the rim when he actually decides to take a shot. It makes the goals that require assists impossible.

I have been reason for the blowouts game 3 in Dallas hasn't started out well for them as we lead 58-40 at the half.

Stat Line:
P. Henderson - 23 Min 24 Pts 3 Reb 6 Ast 2 Stl 1 T.O. 6/10 FG 0-1 3pt 12-13 FT

Update after 3rd my team is up 89-71 as Lamar Odom got on a roll to keep the 3rd period evened out 31 a piece.

Stat Line: 35 Min 37 Pts 5 Reb 11 Ast 2 Stl 4 T.O. (always in 2nd half) 11-16 FG 0-1 3pt 15-16 FT.

I left the game at the start of the 4th till the 9:50 mark and the lead is at 14 89-75.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I decided to mess around with my new SG for a bit. Through it on Pro/Sim so I can get used to not playing PG.

Holy crap this sucks. I know that the release feedback is way too forgiving when they tell you that it hit the sweet spot, but I only had one shot that was not a B+ or higher selection combined with a green release, and somehow I only shot for 21% in the game.

Sigh. And this was on Pro ffs. Maybe I need to switch up my base/release animations or something.

PG/ATH/JAZZ/ROOKIE/83 OVR

1st seed Utah Jazz vs. 4th seed Dallas Mavericks

My Utah Jazz going into Dallas with a 2-0 Series lead and had momentum at the half shooting 51% 20/39 FG 3/6 3pt 15/16 FT and lead 58-40.

Stat Line:
P. Henderson - 23 Min 24 Pts 3 Reb 6 Ast 2 Stl 1 T.O. 6/10 FG 0-1 3pt 12-13 FT
I was happy with how the half played out especially with MP getting to the line so much.

The 3rd was a good quarter game wise, but Dallas wasn't able to cut the lead. Lamar Odom kept the game as close as possible by evening the quarter by taking over the last few minutes. The quarter ended 89-71 Utah both teams scoring 31 a piece.

Stat Line:
P. Henderson - 35 Min 37 Pts 5 Reb 11 Ast 2 Stl 4 T.O. (always in 2nd half) 11-16 FG 0-1 3pt 15-16 FT.
I hate how the turnovers just show up during the 2nd half during the same **** you were doing the first half.

I left the game at the start of the 4th till the 9:50 mark and the lead was down to 14 89-75.

The Mavericks went on a 16-4 run as they cut the lead to 3 at the 6:20 mark with the score being 94-91 Utah, but Henderson found Jefferson the next possession for a "And1" which increased the lead back to 6 with 6:05 to go.


The lead was cut back to 3 with 5:45 to go with a 3 by Terry at this point I realize I need to take over and helped us increase the lead back to 9 with 4:21 left. Utah's team defense kept up the work till I was pulled out the last minute with the game 112-94. which was the score the Mavericks had after the 3 at the 5:45 mark. The last minute of the game Dallas scored 5 Points against the reserves and made the Final Score 112-99 Utah Jazz.

Final Stat Line:
P. Henderson - 44 Min 41 Pts 7 Reb 13 Ast 2 Stl 5 T.O. (4 in 2nd half) 13-21 FG 0-1 3pt 15-16 FT

This is the kind of game I don't mind having with the shots being in the low twenties or high teens while keeping double digit assist.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I wish you could negotiate your contract mid season like every other player in the NBA, I see all these role players getting new contracts when I'm carrying my team and making a quarter of what they are.. having to play 3 full seasons before seeing big money sucks

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Question for the people playing on harder difficulties:

Do you think it is better to master lower difficulties than move up, or start out at higher difficulties and learn the game that way?

I figured the latter would be the best way, that's how I've learned other sports games. But it isn't really working out this time.

Welcome to life in the NBA. And most times, its four years 2 year base with 2 year team option.

I played in HOF right from the beginning, and I'm happy I did, because now that my skills are maxed, and even before when I was just at a comfortable playing level, everything seemed so easy to me
