    I want to be a Dwight Howard type of C that can dominate the boards, post-up, dunk, etc. I want to be pretty athletic.

        First game of Create A Legend mode with my 75 ovr PF with the Magic and my Stat line was 32 Points 7 Rebounds, 4 of them being offensive boards. 10 Assits, 4 Blocks and 4 steals. Also 6 Turnovers. Play Style is All Around. I made him like Lebron Type player minus the choking lol. Im 6'9 260.

          For those who dont know by what I mean about a Lebron Type player is a Stat Sheet Stuffer. Good passer, good scorer, good rebounder, good defensively. Only difference is im a better outside scorer then inside as opposed to lebron being the other way around. And the reason I made a PF over a SF is because my ovr as a PF is 75 where as a SF is a 83. Me and my friends have a thing of it being cheating if we are over 75 ovr as a rookie. And since LeBron is a PF that plays SF, im a SF that plays PF.

              pretty frustrated with some recent trade developments.

              just started a new Faceup Center. im 5 games in, 65 overall... averaging 10-7 and 2 bpg. drafted 12th overall by the Jazz.

              naturally, i want to get out of there. with favors/jefferson/kanter/millsap... the lineups are just ridiculous.

              in 2k11, the Spurs and Celtics were the best spots i found for big men. great roster, and no bigs. so i went for it.

              turn off autosave and request a trade to Boston. multiple sims... and i keep getting traded for Rondo. this happens over 5 times. whatever... onto the Spurs.

              request trade to Spurs. 3 times, i get traded straight up for Duncan. 2 times, i get packaged with harris for TP and spare parts. whatever... onto the bulls to develop a deadly P&R with drose.

              nope. i get traded for derrick rose and taj gibson.

              WORD!? im the 7th man on the Jazz.. but i keep getting traded for these superstars.... makes no sense.

              it seems the trade logic/potential for young bigs is off.

                Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

                After a conference finals with the Heat that was at times massively frustrating (seemed like the AI pulled out all the stops in the 2 losses- Chalmers blocking Hibbert, etc...), Milos Flowers and the Pacers are headed to the finals.

                I keep looking to upgrade abilities, like the iso moves and the fadeaway jumper in particular, but have been opting instead to keep fortifying the small ball stuff- awareness (both at 85), on ball d (88), block (60) steal (77) off rebounding (60) d rebounding (83). My thinking is this is the stuff that will help this Pacers team win the title. I'm responsible for guarding LBJ and KD, so the defense has to be top-notch. It's helped a lot.

                I've also poured alot into dunking, which I have in the 70s now. I waited a long time to go there, and it's pretty sweet.

                We've got the thunder in the finals and honestly I'm kind of hoping to win the title and walk away. I find myself so frustrated by the scripting and the sloppiness of the game play. Is it just me or do your teammates get worse as you get better? Sometimes my team gives up successive offensive rebounds even when the bigs are in position- they just don't jump. Sometimes a play is called where I run screens all over the court, the D sticks with me, I drop the ball in the post and Hibbert will just dribble out to the 3pt line and hand me the ball with 2 seconds on the shot clock... a lot of dumb stuff happens.

                I get real frustrated by that stuff and I'm not sure it's fun, and that's why we play the game right? So the line now is will Milos Flowers retire? or will he to deal with the frustration and let it slide once proven to be a championship player?

                  The trade logic in the beginning is messed up.

                  When I first started my PG, I got traded from the Warriors to the Lakers for:

                  Lakers send:
                  Kobe

                  Warriors send:
                  Derrick Smith
                  Monta Ellis

                  It gets a little more realistic as you progress, though.

                    The trades are the reason in MP i decided to stick with The Jazz so I didn't break another team up, but by time I am a free agent I won't really be hurting any of the teams we know of now.

                      Since you are smart and have autosave off try adjusting your rating (down, maybe up too) via skill point allocation before requesting the trade. You can get some significant variation in the trade scenarios that way. (Tip: Off/Def Awareness are particular attributes that have a relatively strong impact on overall rating.)
                      Remember your roots:

                        Just won the Finals. We won by 15. I had 20pts and 4 blocks off the bench. We won at home 4-1. They had me holding up the trophy. I think Stuckey won Finals MVP. I won Player of the Game though.
                        I maxed out Off reb, Block, and Def Low Post. I am working Steal and On Ball D, then Dunk.

                        I am about to continue with my SF. I havent played MP with with him in months.

                          I got 31 pts, 8 rebs, 2 blocks/steals/assists with my SF in a loss

                          There is a lot I want to boost with him. I got LAyup, Shot MEd, and Ball Security to 90. I will max Stamina. Then, boost Hustle, Hands, Block, Def Reb, PAss.

                            Cranky and Caffeine:

                            its just weird, because ive never been traded for a decent part before. my scoring PG was traded from Sacramento to Portland for Johnny Flynn.

                            before i started over (with updated rosters after trade deadline) i also had a PG and a SG going. my PG was traded to Portland for Elliot Williams and my SG was traded to NYK for Bill Walker.

                            all seemingly realistic deals.


                            both of your suggestions make sense though. im going to sim a few more trade requests and see what happens. otherwise, ill wait until im closer to starter minutes and try again.

                            i think thats what i did with my PG.


                            one tip i can provide regarding trades in MyPlayer.... is to edit your rosters and apply no-trade options to the known offenders. example... Nash ALWAYS gets traded.

                            guys with big contracts and 1 year, usually get sent packing.

                            we're at the end of the season, so adding the no-trade option on their contracts will make certain the rosters will stay somewhat realistic for your first season.

                              I am going into year two of my PG we ended up sweeping the Chicago Bulls 4-0 in the Finals as I forced derrick rose to foul out with 2:15 left in the 4th game and won the championship. I won finals MVP and simmed till the next year and The championship team lost raja bell while adding a lottery pick at sf/pf and a meh 2nd rounder (won't contribute). I still have my big 4 pf/c's and add Jeremy Evans to the roster.

                                PG/SCORING/KNICKS/SUPERSTAR DIFFICULTY

                                Funny that now I'm scoring more points from driving the lane and slashing, every-time on the pick-and-roll, despite the fact that's me and Stoudemire's 'never fail' weapon, they double me immediately after the screen, and I always have a SG, SF or even PFs guarding me. We're up against the Heat right now in a battle for the No. 1 seed, and LeBron is guarding me, which is taking away more driving options that I'd like. Intersting to see how that works though.

                                I experimented on HoF, and the Heat are making everything right now, so I don't know if I remembered to turn it down to 'Superstar' before I started the game. We're up by 3.
