Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I found this online yesterday, this is the way you do it:

Create your player, and assign him to a random team (not the team you want him to be on when you use him in CAL.)

Once you've got him assigned to that team, go to season mode, not association!

Choose that random team that you assigned him to. Once your season mode has begun, immediately export the team.

Back all the way out to the home menu of the game after you've exported your team, and go to load - and load that exported team.

Once you've loaded your exported team, go to manage rosters and find the exported team, click on your player and click trade. You'll now be able to trade him onto the team you want him to be on when you use CAL, for some no-named 50 OVR.

I know it seems a little confusing, but just follow those steps exactly, and it'll work for you.

Jesus Mary mother of god hallelujah!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had my first game as a member of the Thunder they were only 6-6 when I got there. started the season 1-5 if im not mistaken. We beat the Lakers forgot the score but I remember I had 12pts 8rbs 1ast 1stl 1blk My plan is to play out my entire rookie season then starting season 2 just play key games. I wanna sign with my hometown Knicks when ever Amare retires or just loses it and cant produce at a high level anymore. Thats alot of games to play though even with just key games.

anyone else notice cpu help defense in the paint is great especially when I get the ball down there but your teammates help D is almost non existent ?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I think it doesn't register play-off points in your career milestones. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've scoring freely (two 40 point games in the Eastern Conference Finals) and I've been on 4940 points for ages. Does it update after the post season?

Thanks

Thanks for that. That's a bit crap really. I'd better get the Finals over and done with and play more regular season games.

That's something I'm trying to figure out. I don't mind shooting from the outside when I have an open shot, but every once in awhile I'd like to cut inside for a nice slam dunk(or layup), but can't because regardless of the player defending me, it's "THOU SHALT NOT PASS". Doesn't help that my teammates on the Warriors don't seem to pick up that I want a pick so I can get inside!

I've actually noticed the opposite with my PG on the Timberwolves. My team helps way too much and too easily, even when I have my man covered. It leaves open a huge amount of guys on the perimeter.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Seems everyone on the parimeter is a good three point shooter and with A Bogut and D Lee in the low post, has anyone else noticed how good the new look Warriors are when playing with updated Rosters that includes the recent NBA trade activity. The Warriors are now like an improved verison of Orlando and a good destination to start your MP

This is my PF Mike Skywalker dunking over 2 Grizzlies in a 94-80 win. He had 18pts 6rbs 1ast 1blk Thunder improves to 8-6 on the season 2-0 with Skywalker.

Does CAL have the draft glitch where the same teams are in the same order every year? This alone will make me switch over from MP

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Started a new MP, a 2 guard that can score with ease.

I did pretty well in the Rookie Showcase, scoring 32 points, grabbing 4 boards, and dishing out 2 dimes, and shot 56% from the field.

I got interviewed by the Bobcats, the Bucks, and the Warriors. Sadly, I went to the Warriors, again.

I really wanted to play with Kemba Walker, but oh well. I also heard you got to start right away too. Oh well.

Thoughts on my stats?

Pretty damn good

Now, I'm not to the draft yet - but from what I've heard there is no draft glitch in Create a Legend; that's strictly My Player. So that's good enough to have me continue my CAL. I've been dying to play with a PF, so I've been toying around with this one all day, and I'm currently the 6th man on the Hornets. However, I'm not sure if I'm going to stay here. They have both Okafor and Landry that will be playing the 4, taking almost all of my minutes.

The only flaw there really is in playing CAL for me, is the fact that the announcers don't say my nickname anymore, but rather they call me #31. I'm not sure that that matters for people with last names that are already in the game, but if they can't pronounce your last name - all you'll hear them refer to you as is your number.

I'm good on the name dropping, my centers name is Taribo Tate (already programmed ingame) and SGs Ray Kinsey which is interesting because "Kinsey" is announced but NOT programmed ingame. That's it, gonna fire up the 360 now and switch over. Curious now to see what kinda contract I'll get, guess it goes by the OVR you start up with no?

EDIT: Aw sh*t I forgot about the endorsements. I like the commercials haha

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I noticed that too, so I used the player naming tool to pick a name the announcers understand for my CAL player.

I have not got to the end of the year yet to evaluate the draft situation in CAL, but if the draft is not broken like in MP, that is a hudge plus to using this mode.

I also am not sure about the effect of team chemistry in CAL, since they did away with the player buzz rating.

So far, I am having a good time with my rookie PG in a CAL league. I started as the 6th man on the Lakers, but quickly took over the starting PG role with my play on the court.
