Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Apologies for this question as I'm sure it's been covered but I am new and having a hard time searching through this thread for the answer ...

Is there any way to see my MP's hot-zones on PS3? I know there's an icon under the player during the game, but isn't there a way to see the full breakdown at once?
Thanks

During/After games, there is a Section in the Menu called - STATS; "GameTrack" where it shows shot selection (Team/Individual). "Made" or "Missed" field goals.

This feature is erased after you "Quit" the game. The only other place is in your Player Card - Skills Graph-Shooting; unfortunately this "Yellow" chart is terrible as far as the detail of the "Shot Graph" during games.

I use the Ginobili Jump Shot (the one you buy). It is incredible for 3-pointers and jump shots due to its quick release, and even contested shots are good looks because of how fast you can get the shot off. However, this is a burden for fadeaways, especially considering I take at least 30% of my 17 shots per game in the post, since I'm a 6'5" PG. I'm averaging 24 PPG, so it's not like having no fadeaway affects me, but I sometimes get SGs, SFs and PFs to guard me, so it's important to have that. Any tips? Thanks.

ehhhh, not so good today. second year PG on the knicks playing on All-star. I won the title my first season with houston, playing on pro, so I upped the difficulty and requested a trade to my beloved knicks. our defense sucks, especially this season.

now im in the 1st round of the playoffs against the loaded cavs (they have like 7 people with a 3 by their names) and they are killing us. the cavs are up 3-0 and i'm considering changing the difficulty, but i'm only loosing games by 2-6 points. last game, i got an A-, completed every single goal, and got 2,000+ points with no multiplier and we lost because of the lack of defense.

wish my luck in game 4, lol. i dont want to be swept.

I didn't know that 2K had the hilarious Derek Anderson interview from the NFL, I find it quite hilarious

Why don't you just change your fadeway and post fade

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does anybody know if the Draft bug has been around since the game has been released or is this new? I am in my second season on the Bobcats but plan on leaving the team after my contract is up if we keep getting the 2nd pick every year.

I wouldnt recommend that, otherwise the bobcats and 76ers become unstoppable

End of 3rd year with my PF. I ended up on All-NBA 3rd team with 21.3pts, 9.4 rebs, 1.6 blocks, 50% FG, and 83FT%.
I maxed Off Awr, got Def Low post to 75, OVR to 88. I reduced my Post Hook from Good to AVG and used those XPs and some from games to get Post Fadeaway to Good.
I signed a 4 year 56 Mil contract with the Pistons. Pretty much what I wanted. They have a good backcourt and we have a good frontcourt. We have a good young team, so draft bug isnt a big deal. This is a athletic defensive team with good size. Team OVR is 88.I didnt want multiple players with high reb ratings. But, I did want at least a good Center to play next too. With Monroe there, I can stay at my natural position most of the game.
Lineup:
Knight
Stuckey
G.Wallace
ME
Monroe
Sessions, Ariza, and Crawford on the bench.

I got Def Low Post to 90. I dont plan on maxing it just it. But, I have my Def grade at 98 my Def Low Post at A. I want to get both to 99/A+ for good sim stats. So, I might get Def Low Post and Block to 92. I got Speed to 74 and Quickness to 65. After that, I dont have so to many other important ratings. I can now finally start adding to my offense. So my next five ratings I will boost is: Shot Med, Consistency, Strength, FT(at 85) to 90, and Hands. I will work on Shot Med 1st because it will help my sim stats quicker, since I get 41 mpg.
Goal for this year is to get work on offense(which I plan too) and probably max Post Fadeway.

The thing I REALLY like about Pistons is that they only have 3 rivals(Bulls, Bobcats, and IND). I dont face no star PFs this year, so I only play 12 key games and not too many of them are close together. I am closing in on 5000 career points(under 1000 to go), close to 500 Blocks(about 120-150), and 250 assists. didnt have a key games until end of 1st month. We are 6-6(started hot, but fell off a little). I am avging 14ppg, 11.3 Rebs, and 1.9 Blocks. Once I get Shot Med up, it should boost my PPG and my low 40% FG.

I plan on buying Blake Griffins dunk this year and Isaiah Thomas TCB for the Speed and Consistency.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Does Hands have a effect on getting rebs?
I maxed Hustle, Def Reb, Vertical, high Off Reb, and good Athleticism. If not, then it will change the my boosting plans.

Also, What is a good Post Fadeaway that is quick? I tried Dirk's and it is too slow and I tried MJs. I might mess around with them. I want other ways too score. I can only score from around 10 feet bucket.

Yes. If you have a high enough Hands rating you'll be able to snag rebounds out of someone elses hands. Likewise, if it's low you'll tip rebounds or get them taken out of your hands.

Ok so I'm starting to get a little frustrated. My guy is a 6'3 pg for the rockets. My 3 pt shooting is 95 and my consistency is 99. I even have Ray Allen's jump shot. Why can't I make two 3 pointers in a row? It says I'm releasing it good every time. I'm not usually one to complain but it's kind of annoying. Oh and for the year I'm shooting 30% from 3

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Is your defender near you, do you shoot off the dribble, if you how good is your diribble pullup? Oh and shoot in traffic?

[hibachi911]

All my 3's are catch and shoot on fast breaks. For most of them I am wide open.

[rosque]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Shoot in traffic upgrade(I know it's odd if you are wide open, but trust me).

[hibachi911]

I forgot to add that. My shoot in traffic is maxed out at 90
