    Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

    I'm debating whether or not I want to do this or a franchise with the 2k12 rosters I created. From the way everyone talks about the draft bug, trades and whatnot I'm thinking this mode may irritate me more than entertain me.

    I'll probably give it a shot and if I get frustrated start up an Association.

          i played nba 2k13 my player for quite a while but i got disappointed since my bigs won't defend the rim, and the opponents wing players keeps jacking up threes and wouldn't miss. so I went back playing my old nba 2k12 myplayer. I'm on my 4th year with the Sacramento Kings, sadly I have never been in an all star game since I only played key games in my 1st and 2nd year. Currently I am averaging 18pts 3rb 8assts and 1 steal. Btw I am a pass first point guard and my team is currently at the fifth seed. My overall rating is at 77

            Hope people are still reading this thread amid the craze on NBA2K13.

            For those who are still playing NBA2K12 My Player mode on PS3 patch v1.05, I wanna share a few things which may help improve our balling experience:

            (1) if we notice our player looking over his shoulders while sprinting back (in a rather sluggish manner than usual) to defend a potential fastbreak, quickly tap L2 (that's right, the "intense D" button). Our player will then look ahead and sprint faster. It appears that tapping L2 switches our player's attention away from the ballhandler. I also find tapping L2 (a.k.a switching our player's attention away from the ballhandler) occasionally makes our player to respond quicker while on off-ball defense duty.

            (2) on off-ball defense, hold X while marking our man. Not only will this make our player to be more responsive while moving around defending his man, it also helps to reduce "ice skating" which had been much complained about. If tapping and holding X once doesn't seem to work, try tapping twice/multiple times then hold it down (mix it up with tapping L2, as explained in (1) above, may sometimes help too). This also works on on-ball defense, provided it doesn't interfere with our control of other buttons/sticks.

            (3) on off-ball offense, hold SQUARE while moving our player around. Besides causing the marker to somehow loosen up his usual tight defense on our player, the "bumping" animations also become less frequent. If we correctly change the direction of our player's movement in combination with varying speed, our player may lose his marker and get open looks (even open cut to the basket to receive a pass for an easy layup/dunk). The only setback is that our player may accidentally shoot a J if a teammate passes the ball to him and we are still holding down SQUARE, so be alert in anticipation of a pass. I have also experimented with holding TRIANGLE instead of SQUARE, but I personally felt my player doesn't move as smoothly. Warning: Do not hold SQUARE when a teammate is about to inbound, as we may get a "bad call for pass" punishment.

            Note that the above are on default controller setting and tested on Pro + Default/Sim sliders. The effects also vary when my player wears different shoes. So do experiment them out and share your thoughts. They worked for me and greatly improved my overall enjoyment of My Player mode. Cheers.

              Had completely neglected this mode until a couple of days ago when I became obsessed. Had a ton of VC racked up from my Association, and had some left over Microsoft points that I used on more VC. I started with an All-Around SF, but struggled in the stuff before the draft and ended up being drafted 14th by the Bucks.

              I used my points to get my guy up to about a 77, with 80 3PT, 83 Mid, and 75 Dunk. He's also a good passer (73) and an above average ball handler (85). I still have some points to spend, but I think I want to use them on a signature skill.

                I recently restarted my player on NBA2k12 but I've been having problems with my player's secondary position. I want him to be a SF/PF but it keeps making him SF/SG instead. I've restarted over 10 times and I just dont know how to fix it. I've tried making him 6 8, 220lbs-250lbs but they all turn out SF/SG. Also for some reason my 6 8, 230lbs player looks kinda fat for some reason. Please help.

                  Have you tried increasing your height to at least 6'10"? As for the "fat" appearance, try using the normal muscle tone instead of "ripped", that may help.

                      I know that I'm way late, and I do have every 2k game since, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I'm a 6'5 or 6'6 (don't have my game with me now) slashing sg and was wondering if anyone has any tips for getting to the basket. I haven't played a game yet but I want some tips so I can be good from the start. My only change has been using all of the sp I had to upgrade my shoot in traffic. I'm on the Suns.

                          yeah shouldnt 2k11 be more popular since there's better defense in that game?
