Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm sure it's been asked, but how much does imporving your abilities (fadeaway, hopstep layup, etc) help? Because nearly 15k seems excessive unless it's actually THAT useful.

My guy has been on a roll lately. 6 of the last 9 scoring over 20. 7 of the last 9 with at least 5 assist. Although my rebounding has taken a major hit since I got in the starting lineup. Can't seem to get more than 5 anymore.

It's important. Don't expect to hit anything off the dribble if you have everything poor in your shooting abilities.

If you're average or poor in your crossovers don't expect them to be that effective.

Right now, if you didn't pick Back to the Basket for your PF/C don't expect to be effective in the post. If you picked any other position you will suck at every thing post related.

Besides ISO moves, not really unless you do special moves. Like fadeaways, euro lay-up, spin layup/shot, special post moves. ISO moves are only abilities Im buying.

If you up your ISO move abilities they make them much more effective, as well as unlocking other Iso packages.

Bit of a rage here. JR Smith hits 23 3s in the game 13 in the second half. Thank you 2k for the realism

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Since we traded chancy my guy has been averaging 37 min a game...meanwhile Carmelo and amare are only averaging 35 min, wtf 37 min already its only the 21 game of the season! It looks we have no back up point. Ok Wait.... I see back up point guard is hurt so I'm playing all of the min at the point almost 40.... I need some damn rest but I want to update the trades that went down a couple games ago, I loaded my save from the game before the horrible trade, and no other trade has happened besides chauncy for emecka and ariza, so I still have my team in tack. We are 15-6 going into Indiana . I'll update you guys how my game went!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Is there somewhere in the mode where I can practice free throws? I can't get the timing down and the 2 or 3 trips in a game that I might get aren't enough to figure it out.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm sorry but started my second season with the Lakers, after being defeated second round in the playoffs last year to "you know who.." the Dallas Mavericks. Anyway, we are 11 - 9, 3 spots from #1 in the west... So if anyone can help me understand how I just had my game high 33 points against the Raptors, only to lose by 16??? Kobe had 18 & 6 ??? We have the same personnel with maybe a few changes like Mario Chalmers at the point and Rodney Brewer sixth man off the bench. Maybe one of you Laker fans can help me understand this one.

In a game against the 12-2 Heat, We(Houston) beat them 107-103(LBJ hit a 3 to end game). I was in foul trouble early and barely played in 1st half only had 3 pts, but we still had the lead. I came in the 3rd quarter determined to stretch lead. I had 29 points in the 2nd half. Improving my 3pt, really added another dimension in our offense and opens the playbook more. I had my 1st Player of game. I have a vid of me blocking a LBJ shot I will post in the afternoon. I have to work on not biting on pump fakes and trying to fo for steals, I get in foul trouble too much.
I currently have 3pt at 88. I will try to max that out. But, I only make 3s consistently from the corner near the sideline. I got Off-Clutch to 90. I was going to work on Ball Security next, but Im am working on On-Ball Def. I am almost at the point where I can save up Abilities. I want the ability to be able to do ISO plays. I want to get my Crossover to Good. After that I can afford to work on other things. Like Overall Movement(quickness to speed 70+), Shot Close/Inside, Steal, Off Awar, and little things. I am extremely slow. I want to get at least 70. But, most importantly Quickness.
I avg 21.4 pts and 4 RBs.(70 OVR) I face the 20-0 OKC Thunder. I have 20+ Key Games left in season. We traded Rip(hopefully Harris too) and Lee and picked up Reggie Williams and Turkolu. I like the Hedo pick-up. It gives up another 3pt shooter and good size on defense. He will start at PF. We have a Paul George(6'8 SF) starting at Center since our starter is hurt. It really hurts us since we have 6+ Key games in the next 2 weeks. We are 9-9. I think we can make playoffs. But, I am not expecting much. We really lack size. With our Center out, we only have 1 guy over 6'10 which is Thabeet, but he rarely plays(if he is on team). We give up a ton of points in paint each game. Our team is full of Guards and SFs(only had 3 frontcourt players) Which makes the addition of Turkoglu great, I rather have him at Center until J.Mal comes back. I dont like that injuried position spots change every game(we had RIP at Center 1 game).

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My Knicks missed the playoffs in my first season by about 2 games iirc.

I'm going to sim a lot less in my second season, and now that I get a lot more playing time hopefully we'll go deep in the playoffs.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I really can't understand how people play this?

Do you play it for training waiting for the patch or do you simply not care spending huge amounts of time in a mode that's totally unrealistic?

Because it's fun? I play plenty of games that aren't realistic, this is a lot closer than most.

How is it fun when it's broken in the teammate AI department and trade logic and needs a major patch?

How can people accept that just to get their basketball fix is beyond me.

I wish I could do it and play it despite it being such a broken mess.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I like this game -- I have a history with it that goes back to the original versions on the DreamCast and over the past two years, I've been playing the "My Player" mode pretty much with exclusivity.

While I think that there is a lot to like about My Player this year, I also think that we've taken some steps backwards. Playing as a combo guard, I do like to use dribble penetration as a weapon for setting up my mid-range game. The issue that I've seen, however, is that the teammate AI in this year's version isn't working as well as in the last couple of years from what I've seen.

On more than one occasion, I've beaten my man with a dribble and have sucked in another defender, leaving a teammate open for a great look. In these cases, one of two things will happen based on the situation:

a. The teammate will catch the ball and rather than take an open look, they will move into the heart of the defence with the ball and either get blocked, miss or turn the ball over

b. The teammate will move into the heart of the defence BEFORE I've completed passing to them, usually resulting in a turnover for me

Last year, the game seemed to do a much better job with the teammate AI, particularly in those dribble drive situations -- I have to admit, I've been very frustrated with the level of intelligence being applied by my teammates. Shot selection seems to be a really wonky commodity and that's a bit of a buzzkill for me. I was really excited about MP with all the focus being given to it by 2K Sports in venues like FaceBook and, to be honest, I'm thinking about moving back to NBA 2k11 as, right now, I see the mode being a superior gameplay experience in that version

My intent is to level up a bit more and see where it gets me. From there I'll make a decision...

If there's a slider set that anyone has seen that addresses the wonky teammate AI, I'd love it if someone could advise

Thanks...


Have fun.......

Other than the trade logic, how is it a broken mess?

I'm having a great time with it and having great games.

Fix for trade logic in My Player that works for me

Since I added legends to my player (Hakeem,Mourning,LJ,H Grant,Jordan,Mutumbo etc)

I did not want the CPU to mess up the teams so I edited each teams franchise players .........


First I edited all the top players contract team option and no trade option that way they cannot trade players that I don't want to be moved also team option prevents the player from leaving after contract.

My Player Tips


For playbooks lower top players touches to around 80-84 so they will run more plays on offense this way they will not run the same play the entire game.


I used DC playbook to edit every teams playbook also for players like bench players edit their plays to none, a third string SF should not have plays ran for him he should be a opportunity scorer..


My player is a blast now it plays a lot better and there are more key games because there is more firepower on each team, I might unlock all greatest teams to put more legends into MY PLAYER.....

Since there are no rookies why not have the Legends start and have the young talent come off the bench.... I swapped out the old Tim Duncan for the Young Tim Duncan and added David Robinson to the current spurs

Try it out
