    Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

    All-around isn't a bad play style to go with either.

    I've done athletic, and that was fun, but the games got pretty dull. My only offense came on fast breaks and offensive rebounds. All I could do was dunk. Even with all my athleticism, I could hardly beat anyone off the dribble. Ended up quitting halfway through the 1st half of my second season because I couldn't get good play from my teammates no matter what or where I played.

    Started an all-around shooting guard not too long ago, and it's pretty fun. I spent most of my early points from the first season on my mid range, layup, 3 point, pass, and dribble pull up ability. Started the second season with 100,000 points all from the playoffs basically, and spent those all on my athleticism, to just get that out of the way now.

    You can basically go any direction you choose with an all-around player. All of your abilities are average except for the post moves, but play about 5 or 6 games and you'll have enough to bring one of those abilities up. Your athleticism is pretty weak to start off with, but it's serviceable. I played the majority of my first season with everything at or near default in the athleticism section.

    I'd say if you're ever undecided on what type of player you want your guy to be, go with an all-around type player because of the versatility going forward. Sure the athletic points cost a handsome amount, but with the poor ability ratings the athletes start out with, I'd say it about evens out.

      After 14 games, I'm the starting SF for the Pacers.. and I think it's going to end up costing the team a bunch of games since I'm not getting 3 assists to open 3's from Granger and he immediately drops to 22 minutes.

      Darren Collison got injured a couple games ago (2 week back injury) and that's hurt some, losing the last 2 games by 1 point and 4 points.

        There are too many players not getting signed, basically getting forced into early retirement. Every year since my 1 season was done, I go to the NBA.com menu, and scroll thought every team and always see a few players that are reasonably young still, can still contribute to a team, probably gave me problems when I played them the season before, and were not one of the players that announced that they will be retiring. What's up with that? Plus, there are plenty of teams under the cap that can afford them. I'm just a little puzzled by this, thinking about my future seasons being filled with CPU generated plAyers sooner than I'd like.

        I'm just starting my 6th season by the way, just won my 4th title, 2 with PHX, 2 with the NYK.

            If you stick with your MP long enough it won't matter what you pick by the third season. I'm maxed in almost everything. I started out as athletic, about to finish my third season and I'm leading the league in 3 pointers made. I also lead the league or I'm tied for the lead in steals & blocks.

              I've been lurking this thread for a bit and decided to register. I'm using a SF with the Slashing play style; I usually go with Athletic, but (imo) the overall starting attributes/abilities for Slashing are superior. I'm not too interested in the other play styles, but I might try them out in the future. I just got into the starting lineup for the Lakers and it looks like:

              PG: J.R Smith (Yeah, I know...)
              SG: Kobe Bryant
              SF: Me
              PF: Ron Artest
              C: Marcin Gortat

              Last season, we traded Andrew Bynum to Golden State for David Lee (I didn't mind this), then traded David Lee to NY (I think) for JR Smith. Somehow, we got Marcin Gortat and Gasol is injured...LOL. On top of that, Kobe Bryant just got injured and will be missing 1-2 weeks.

              Also, I never see this one talked about: Does anyone use the Defensive play style?

                "Not your best game, but the team won" 31 pts 13 boards 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks but 5 turnovers ..shot 60%.. I guess they hired Jim Gray to try to ask a stupid press conference question and create something

                  PG/SUPERSTAR DIFFICULTY/KNICKS/SCORING

                  I can't believe the last game I played last night. (Game no. 70; season 2 vs. POR)

                  I got my 6th triple-double of the season, and 10th of my career (25/10/11) and finished with 3 blocks and 1 steal while shooting 64%, but I got into foul trouble with 3 minutes left in the 3rd. Sat my behind on the bench, and can't believe that my team, with Toney Douglas at the helm for 8 minutes, blew a 14-point lead. Especially unbelievable when around 55% of our plays are Melo/STAT isolations. Carmelo didn't help things by going 0-5 in isolation situations in the final 2 minutes. He even had the balls to high-5 me in a timeout with 15.7 seconds left, down 5 after he just bricked a pull-up 2. haha.

                  Well, the No. 1 seed is running away from us, and if we can't close ground to the Heat (we're 2 GB), I'll just sim the rest of the season. (WAS, WAS, OKC, BOS, CHI)

                      The first trades happened in the 'My Player' with my Pacers SF..at the November 29th point.. the Suns trade Steve Nash to the Hawks for Jeff Teague and Kirk Hinrich, then send Grant Hill and Michael Redd to the Clippers for Nick Young and Randy Foye.. I can see the first trade out of conference but to make a trade in your own division so you can watch them come back and beat you is bad.

                          We're down 3-2 to the Dwayne Wade-less Miami Heat in the NBA finals, and my minutes are looking limited after an injury in game 5 when LeBron gave me a very hard shot to steal the ball. The game does not like calling fouls on LeBron, I didn't think he was such a cheap shot artist. He's better than that

                              It doesnt make sense for 2 reasons
                              1.) Hes Kobe. And unless they were to get Bucks locked top 3 pick, you dont trade him
                              2. They have a locked top 3rd pick, so they dont need Kobe.

                                I got Strength to 75 and Speed to 94. I should be able to max Strength after next game and max Speed after my next set of drills. With Strength close to max, I will able to add a post game and back players close to basket.
                                Aftter Block I will max Block(60) to 80, then Pass and Def Reb.
                                I avg 19.2 pts, 7.5 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1.3 blocks a game. We are losing alot of games because George isnt contributing like I was hoping him too. We are 16-15, but goal is still Championship or bust
