Re: Banner glitch?

@Dextronaunt: No such thing happens. 2K hasn't gotten that far yet, sadly.

Did the CAL thread die?

I just got an amazing game with my rookie MJ (well 2nd year since no 84-85 bulls)

I got: 73 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 10 steals, 1 block, and only 1 turnover. Shot 31-62 from the field (hell, at least I wasn't shooting like 30 percent) and got 11 points from the charity stripe.

About to start a new PG for my player. Suggestions for play style?

Edit: In case you're wondering about my shot ratings, they're:
Ins: 89/98 (Note that I was injured right at the beginning of the game but I still played)
Close: 86/95
Mid: 84/93
3pt: 54/60

Id go with scoring pg I have one on the Knicks 73 ovr I avg 14.1ppg, 9.3 assists and 3.3 steals (leading nba), its pretty fun and i don't have to score that much because of Jr, Melo and Amare and its fun dishing the ball to those guys but there are times I have to take matters into my own hands lol

Just dropped 20/20/20 with my Warriors SG against the Pacers...possibly the best game in my 2 year career so far.

Does anyone know which SG type has the best "shoot off dribble"?

I know Scoring and All-Around both have an average rating for shoot off dribble. I don't think there's anything better than that. Slasher might have an average rating as well, but I'm not sure.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I picked Pass-First.

But I did great in the showcase, otherwise. I had 4 points, 9 assists (was going for 10, 1/2 were alley oops xD) 2 rebounds, went 1/3 from the field, and picked up 2 points at the line.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I got my SG up to a overall of 99 by my 4th season all to have my xbox stolen!!!! ((((( never got a championship either. I was on the Knicks in my 3rd season where we should have easily won it but lost in the conference finals to the......... CAVS, they were truly unbeatable somehow. with ramon sessions as their best player??? they beat out the heat in the round before me to show it wasn't just me. they somehow would hit 3 after 3 after 3 after 3 after 3 after 3 it was literally all they'd shoot and if they took a mid range shot it'd miss. my cpu defense was in part to blame for leaving a lot of wide open shots. I'd still put up 40+ point games trying to do everything I could but it didn't matter. I never do this but i even resorted to turning off the game before I lost because it was pissing me off so much that the cavs of all teams were so dominating. but it didn't matter. i just soon gave up thinking I'd have next season, but nope my xbox and all traces of that my player file is now gone forever

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Wow... what a half for me...

Went back to my old PG, and damn, did I play good.

At the half, I have: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 4 turnovers, 5-10 from the field, 1-2 from the arch, and 1 point at the line.

I just had a dominate game and win against the Pacers. I had 32 pts, 11 rebs, 1 block and steal. This game was mainly about defense. We held them under 40% shooting. I shut my opponent down to 1-9 shooting in 1st half

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Well, when I first got the game I created a MP, Athletic PG. Got his overall up to 85 and then due to the fact that the trade deadline happened IRL and the rosters got changed, I stopped using him.

Decided I didn't want it to be a waste, so I created that player, dropped his overall to 80 and planted him in CAL as a year 2 PG.

Placed him on the Hawks, and I love the roster here. So many guys to dish it to. I'm surprised I never hear about anyone in this thread being on ATL.

I've got about all of my key attributes rated extremely high, I'm just ready to bump up some abilities. Of course it's not the same as MP, but this is unfortunately my only option.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Continued with my SF, I had a frustrating game against Wolves. We had the lead/very close the entire time. But, it didnt feel right. Our TOs was down. But, it was a horrible defensive game. Mainly because we had horrible switching. Too many times their was a open shooter due to someone switching. What makes it worse it that ALL their starters can shoot 3s. I shot way too much and was on the court too much. I shot 34 times and played the entire 3rd and 4th Quarter. Wolves are set. Good starting 5. Dont have good size, but have mismatches. And they have Bobcats 2nd overall pick this year coming up. We loss .

I got Strength to 83. I really want to add a post game. I will stop boosting Strength at 85. At that point I would be stronger than most of the SFs. After that, I will boost Block, Pass, and Def Reb. I am not close to any big milestones. I need to find another way to score. The thing that I dont like is that the dribble abilities were low for me. While most of the good SFs have good dribble ratings. I have A+ Athleticism, but I cant separate from defenders.
I am hoping for a big milestone. I want to improve some abilites.I want to boost Stepback, Crossover, Hesititation, and Post Fade. I would probably do it in that order.

Like I said before Paul George has been very nonexistant on offense. He reminds me of Gerald Wallace when he was my teammate. Luckily we have a generated PF on our team that was drafted #11 ovr. He has played great. Last game he had over 24 points.

Hey man, on my only current MP I have an Athletic SF for the Wizards. I know you've got a SF, and I'm taking a guess - that it has an athletic playstyle? If so, do you have any suggestions on what attributes to begin working on, first?

I've got my Shot Medium up to a 76 and I'm shooting well with it, considering most of my game is driving to the basket anyways. I do know that I need to get ball security up, as everytime I post-up and try to drive to the hoop the ball gets knocked away.

Were there any attributes that you bumped that helped a lot? Thanks, man.

Having Ball Security, Off Hand Dribble, even Hands high/max is very important. Having those 3 maxed(Hands isnt, but at 90), I rarely get the ball swiped away.
Shoot in Traffic, FT, and Vertical is important for any position. Those 3 allot me take contested shots, make alot of FTs, and out jump and contest shots.
I focused on Defense early. I focused on Steal and On-Ball D. I can get 2+ steals easy. The only time I give up 20+ points is when Im slacking off.
It is not very important, but I have nearly all Physical ratings maxed.
