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.

That is kinda what I thought.
I havent touched it yet. I was going start adding to my scoring. But, I can score alot if I can get to the basket and FT line and I just got Post Fadeaway to good. I just wont get alot of points while simming. I do want to pull down more rebs.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Even though I wont be playing many games this year, I am closing on career milestones so I can get some big amount of XP. I want to get both Post Spin and Post Fadeaway to Great(both at Good).
I am anxious to play with the Pistons. We are a good young team. Our frontcourt is big and can both pull down alot of rebs. We are both locked in for the next 4-5 years. We are 12 mil over the cap. Knight contract is up, I dont think we can resign him unless we get rid of a few players.
My Speed and Quickness for my PF is close to being maxed out. My Speed is at 74/80 and my Quickness is at 65/70. As long as I get at least about 3000 XP for my next Key Game, I can get get Block and Def Low Post to 92 and that should get my Def rating to 99

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

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

Change your shot for to someone or something else that you're more comfortable shooting with. It's obvious the one you have now isn't the one you need.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

When I play tonight, I will look for a good post fadeaway for my PF
I might look in my association for it. I had a good one for one of my players, but forgot which one.

5' 11" PG - Athletic

Created a new PG, one that I want to use in a more conservative, offense running manner to learn the game better. Going to go into every game with the mindset that I will learn the game and not force it.

Got traded to the Celtics right away, but holy crap are we being manhandled by injuries.

Injuries by the 9th game of the season:

Garnett, Rondo, Moore, and my MP. Unfreakingbelievable.

Garnett and Rondo have both been out for five games so far, Moore just came back.

I chose for my MP to play through it, which has given me way more minutes than I am set to have in the rotation since Rondo is out. I'm playing okay so far. Low scoring, but getting rebounds and assists every game as well as a couple of steals and blocks every game.

Somehow with all the injuries we have stayed over .500.

I desperately need to increase my free throw attribute. I'm not very good at timing the free throws. I am good at drawing fouls and getting to the line, but need to finish. Once my free throw is higher, my ppg should nearly double.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Seriously it really stupid how they make it seem like a lay up is the hardest thing in the world.

My SF has 97 Vertical, 80 Layup and 70 SiT and he will miss 7/10 lay ups where contact is involved. I will draw the contact and foul but my guy is 6'9" and can't get the ball above the rim half the time.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

What is up with the "Leave Assignment" penalty for your team score?

The other night I was playing and attempted a 3pter on the wing. I missed and was pushed back in the crowd. It took me close to 5 or so seconds to get back on the court and by that time the ball was at the other end and was getting the score reduction.

Also, I was caught in a screen, I spun around the defender to get back to my man and I get the "Leave Assignment" penalty. On another screen I roll off to take the other man that got ahead of my teammate and get tagged again. Do I just stay on my man and let the other guy break free?

Am I just playing bad? Bug? This is the most frustrating aspect of this game for me. I'm new to playing, so maybe its just me......

Only time that happens to me is when I'm double teaming and my assignment is on the other side of the court to force turnovers.

6'7 215 SG
Adrian Thompson
17.1 ppg
3.8 rpg
2.4 apg
1.5 spg
39.6% FG%
31.9% 3pt%

Can't make a shot, Can't make a lay-up, team doesn't know when to cut or how to make a shot off an assist, Melo is just jacking up 3's whenever he touches the ball, can't play any D team is just awful

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Played a half of a game before having to stop. We faced Bulls. Noah was pulling down ALL of the rebs. I found a Post Fadeaway I could work with.
Not going to lie, I didnt really know about their situation. But both of the guards are Combo Guards who dont like to pass much and they dont any depth in the big spot.
I know the Bulls will be a tough team to face. Because of Rose and their bigs. Bobcats will be tough because of Draft bug. Not sure how IND is.

I will boost Block and Def Low Post to 92(at 90). Hands next, then Consistency and Shot Med.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Finally got my first double-double in game five on the Pistons. Been tearing it up even though I probably shoot WAY too much but I do get to the foul line a lot so that helps. Not really much of a team player yet.

Last Game(Player of the Game): 34 Points(11-22, 12-13 FT), 11 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 3 Steals, 2 Turnovers(late, one because the game wouldn't let me inbound and the other because I sprinted up the court and bounced the ball of a teammates foot.)

Season(through five): 18.8 Minutes Per Game - 26.0 PPG(45-87[.517 FG%], 1-2[.500 3P%], 39-47[.830 FT%]), 5.2 RPG, 1.8 APG, 2.6 SPG, 0.4 BPG

Skills Worked On Athletic SF: Vertical[99], Free Throw[75], Shoot in Traffic[70], Shot Medium[68, still working on until 80]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Anyone else notice progressive fatigue. I had a back to back game with with the lakers and warriors and my player was dead tired and his shot was flat. Both games I shot 30% even though most of my shots were A-B quality. Shots I usually hit with no problem. I still got A grades because of my defense but I never noticed the fatigue before.

In the second game vs the warriors my player was dead tired and I could hardly use the sprint button at all. Almost all his shots hit the front of the rim or just rimmed out. It sucked because my scoring was down but it was definitely cool to see the affect of fatigue on my player. In association I never notice it because I manage my minutes pretty well, but in my player they are working me like a dog.

try not to sprint so much, jog when you dont need to sprint, get your stamina up and if you notice the gatorade symbol let your teammates do work

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had 2 good games in my 1st two played games with Pistons. Both games were losses. We came back in the 2nd game, but they(IND) went on a 15-0 run in the last 3 mins.
I got Block and Def Low Post to 92, which got my Def grade and Post Def to 99/A+. I got Hands to 76 and will stop around 85-90(depending on if it has effects). I got Quickness to 69 and Speed to 76. I couldve maxed Quickness using dribble course, but I couldnt pass up Speed. After, Hands I will start boosting Shot Med, then Consistency. I bought Blake Griffens dunk package. I got my OVR to 90.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

On my Pacers My Player

I just got inserted into the rotation, and right now we are barely over .500, In 1-2 weeks both Danny Granger and George Hill will be back from injuries.

I like the Pacers for My Player, most play smart, the only guy I have a problem with is Leandro Barbosa, he sometimes gets subbed in as PG since Hill is out, and he never passes, and usually takes horrible shots. This is on SimWorldz roster btw.

When am I supposed to get my first shoe? I read somewhere that you have to have league wide popularity 80, is that true?
