Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I love using my PG as a rebounder.. but every PG I've made has injured ankles in an attempt to gain the nickname 'Windex'

Raise your Durability.

I've never gotten injured going for a rebound. (Well, my durability is 99. Only time I got injured was from taking a charge)

How does Nikola Pekovic... steal 2 balls from my PG and beat me down court for a layup on his own????

I will raise durability.. never have with a PG since some of the other stats I tend to want are so bad to start

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Finally got my first Triple Double.. in the first 3 quarters (down 83-82 at the start of 4th) of a game vs the T'Wolves.. 19-11-11 on 9 of 19 shooting.. BUT 9 turnovers in 3 quarters again.. still can't control where the passes are going while playing injured.. averaging 12 turnovers since being injured and playing through it..was averaging 2 before the injury. Can't wait to see my player dunk the ball etc when healthy.. dunk up to 80 now with vertical at 88 and still haven't dunked

Lost the game 116-112.. missed wide open layups late again also, finished 31-12-13.. 10 turnovers on 12 of 31 shooting.. Rubio blocked 2 of my layups for his first career blocks.. sheesh

I find it easy to guard LeBron but I find it hard to guard durant he just walks to midrange dribbles around and then fades for a B+ shot

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I don't see Phoenix play a ton during the real NBA season, .. does Steve Nash really get 5+ shots blocked a game like he does as a teammate of my PG/SG??? Every game he tries for layups in the trees

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Now in the playoffs. Simmed until key games the first two rounds, seeing it would be an easy path to an unevitable Heat matchup...until I forgot the Bulls could be waiting for us in the second round. Too late, though, I simmed the first two rounds! Key gaming them.

Knicks def. Celtics 4-0
Knicks lead Bulls 3-1

We're playing at home with a chance to eliminate the Bulls. I love how, when we were down, every time we make a shot and inch closer, the crowd absolutely roars, up to the point when Carmelo got a rebound off a D-Rose miss, kicked it out to me, streaking down the court, and I got numbers with Keith Bogans and dunked it Superman style right over Shannon Brown. 'It feels like OKC in here lol.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My player, Andre Drummond is still the starting center on the Milwaukee Bucks. I'm getting frustrated playing on the Bucks though, we have two amazing guards and an up and coming center in Andre Drummond. Every game we are in the game until the end when everything falls apart. I have almost thought about asking for a trade but I don't know where I was to go. I want to go to a team that needs a good center but the team needs to be on the rise. Any ideas?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Editing all these attributes and tendencies is so frustrating and time consuming! BUT, I'm hoping to be done tonight so I can start my final My Player modeled completely after me. Going to keep everyone posted with this one!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Care to share some tips? Also do u always miss a lot of shots when he is guarding you?

1. Don't go for the steal because he will just blow past you for a dunk/layup
2. Don't be afraid to jump! Most of the time with other players just standing there will good defense but that won't do it with Lebron
3. Box him out he's a good offensive rebounder
4. Just stick with him. Don't go to help other teammates because they will pass to him for a shot
If you are having trouble making shots follow these tips
5. Try to lose him with a pick
6. Take shots you're player is good at a lot of people take bad shots
7. Don't force a shot over him
8. If its the end of the shot clock unless you can take a good shot pass it to a teammate
Hope these tips help. They will work for alot of athletic yet good defenders snd jumpshooters aka Gerald Wallace and if you need tips for others players just comment

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Down 2 in the eastern Conference Semis in Game6. We were leading the series 3-2 until Ilgauskas passes tto me... right on the half court line and we get a backcourt violation. Tied 3-3 going home. That guu is uselessnand he is our starting center. I posted 31 points, 5 boards, 13 dimes, 7 steals and 4 rejections and we still lose thanks to that shot hog chucker Toney Douglas and Ilgauskas...
