Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had no idea you could be traded without making a request. For two seasons in a row, I've been traded to another team during the offseason.

Mind = blown.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I need some advice. with my all-around pg on the magic, i have been averaging 15 ppg, 5 rbg, and 6 apg. Also 2 Spg. All of a sudden i sim to my next key game and i am the starting sg, nelson moves to pg. I already requested a trade to the magic earlier in the season. I think it will be unrealistic to request ANOTHER trade, but i can't get assists as a sg. when i played as a pg i got like 15 assists and about 9-10 in sim, but as a sg i get like 5 in sim and 7 when i play. My pass is up to 90.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

___________________

On another note, i have mid range up to 86 and am going to max it through drills. Shot inside and Shot close are up to 77, i think that is fine for now. i maxed shot in traffic at 90. layup is to 80. i am going to get ball security, off-hand dribbling, and all the pg related stuff to 90's. right now they are all low 70's except for pass at 90. i have consistency at 86. Will max that after the pg stuff. then i will max off clutch which will help me get the upgrade i want in the shooting. my 3pt is at 65. i will get that to 80, then up it with drills.

Is there anyway to make your SG's secondary position PG instead of SF? Whenever I get drafted with my 6'0" Defensive minded SG (defensive AI), the CPU always either wants me to move up to the 3 permanently, or they sub me in as a SF more often than not. This makes no sense considering my guy is only 6'0"

Any suggestions?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I know that if you create an Athletic SG then the secondary position will be PG.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just recorded my career high in assists in a game with 25. I tried to do how I did in 2K11 which was win a game on HOF without scoring and just assisting but the Spurs intentionally fouled me when I got the inbounds pass

I honestly thought about missing the FTs on purpose but I didn't want to take a chance on that cheesy CPU clutch factor stepback wide open 3.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I was contemplating what type of PF I wanted my All-Around PF to be. I decided to be sort of a prime Kevin Garnett: 20-10 player who was a great defender. I'm in my rookie season, and I'm doing great:

32.3 MPG, 20.0 PPG (20th), 10.3 RPG (8th), 1.8 BPG (1st), 2.1 APG (2nd PF)

Except this is straight BS when we play other teams, (on Superstar Difficulty) and the CPU goes on their patented "runs". We lost a 2 point lead in the 4Q, and it became a 13-point turnaround for the 76ers in 7 minutes while I was subbed out...straight BS.

Hey folks, I'm hoping you could answer a couple of questions for me that I've tried googling ...first, how many days is it in between earning drills? Also, when you achieve milestones during a simulation, do you get the xp for it, and if so, when(I've read that you do on google,but I've never seen the points awarded)?

Thanks in advanced for your time and any knowledge you guys can offer on these questions of mine.

2 weeks/14 days between each set of drills.

When simming you can receive Career Milestones, but not game milstones(no 20pt mile). I am not sure about Season milestone. When you sim(Assuming you only play key games) and get milestones you will get the XP at the beginning of the next key game.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

What's some recommended FT releases? I've been using Nash's the last 10 games or so, but I'm something like 21/34 from the line in my last 5 games, and I'm down to 70ish percent on the season despite my payer's FT rating being in the mid-80s.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I tried to make a big man My Player because that's what I really want to play. But I can't do it. I can't take constantly being boxed out, bodied up and outrebounded by guys half my size.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

With my PG, i decided to request a trade to the grizzlies because on the magic i was only playing SG, and i was getting dominated plus i was unable to get assists. First two games were incredible. First game i put up 24 and 13 with 5 rebounds. The next game i had to carry the team in a loss. I recorded 32 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds. Both were losses. Though we lost both games, this team is awesome to play with. I always find Mayo open for 3, and i let gay go isolation. Other times, i drive to the hoop and either find Randolph or Gasol for an easy dunk/layup or i kick out to the open 3-point shooter. The only problem is that i play SG about 10 minutes since earlier in the year the Grizzlies traded conley and tony allen for nash. But at least i don't have to start at SG and usually when nash is bringing it up and i call for it, he gives it to me. We are T-12 in the conference. I requested a trade to the Grizzlies because i know they are a really good team so i wanted to help them get back to form. My season averages are about 16 ppg, 7 apg, 5 rpg, 2.1 spg. The assists would be up because overall as a starting PG(!), i average about 10 apg

You have to box out and get positioning every time whether it's on the offensive or defensive glass. My PF is 97 rated rebounder, but I have to box out almost every possession in order to get 11 boards per game. Some tips.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just got some ridiculous CPU cheese. We were up 86-85 with about 30 seconds left. The Grizzlies just did nothing for the first 23 seconds of the shot clock, and then all of a sudden O.J. Mayo hits a contested 3-pointer from about 2 feet past the 3-point line. Ridiculous.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'm playing as a SG on the Spurs and wow, they actually play like the Spurs. They take good shots, pass the ball to me when I'm open without me having to call for it and run a good, diverse selection of plays.

We're actually playing like the Spurs
