Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Well, finally switched from Pro to the next level up after a 40/14/4 game with my center (71 overall). Yeah, too much for me, I want at least a little bit of a challenge :P. First game on next difficulty up I dropped a 23/9/3 game. Perhaps I will need to bump up again as this is before upgrading ANY of my abilities (nothing above average).

Successfully got traded to Spurs and we are Killing and leading the west. Nice to play on a team where my teammates can actually score and defend (transferred from Pacers).

I've noticed on Da Czar videos that there are yellow bars beneath that appear to show the effective range of your player. Is there a way to show this in My Player on PS3? I can't seem to find it.

It should be on there automatically. I know mine is. Did you change any of the original settings other than difficulty?

We have traded Paul George and got a Greg Monroe. Making our Lineup completely new again. Only person there from last year is Devin Harris. He probably not going to be there much longer. Kemba Walker is out for 6-8 weeks while I was simming. Disappointed because he would provided some great contribution. I am now the best player on team and I was in the pre-game intro

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

and I come back after simming to a key game and boom we traded rose are you ****ing kidding me. rose and korver to miami for wade and grant hill. so I demanded a trade and went to boston.

so now the bulls have grant hill, marion, butler and pierce along with wade and carter

however the celts still have kg, rondo, and allen, kg is hurt, but man that starting group makes me pretty happy

Just dropped 53 and 11 against the Knicks on 60% shooting from the floor and 11/11 shooting from the free throw line.

Has anyone noticed that the AI will have their PG defend your PF for long stretches of games sometimes? Really weird.

they do that with centers too. I have had arenas, curry, and collison on my 7-1 center and instead of feeding me immediately they just dribbled around I have a foot on this guy give me the ball

You can call for the ball you know?

[Da Amba Lamps]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

oh I do, I get dinged for bad call for pass and then eventually excessive call for pass, or they pass to the otherside of the court and I can't call for that pass

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I don't know how some of you are scoring so much...

I've created 2 guys and both are struggling hardcore...my teammates hardly ever give me the ball...and my guys keep getting out rebounded, even my 7'2" guy.

Yeah, call for the ball sucks...sure it might get you the ball (sometimes), but it takes off points and lowers your teammate chemistry I think.

Hmm... what's your teammate loyalty thing at? The thing that changes after every post game presser. Mine is like upper 80s or low 90s, maybe that's why they pass to me pretty much every time I call for it.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I'd still like to be able to shoot with a second left.

Was playing the Spurs and I started off hot. Dropped 12 points in the first 3 minutes of the game.

Then for some reason I went 0 for my next 14... Until about 3 minutes left in the game. Admittedly towards the latter portion of that 14, I forced a few because I was gettign pissed off that I was missing wide open shots and even rimmed out two dunks . They happened back-to-back. Seriously drew me up the wall.

Anyway, team is playing good D so we are relatively in it. Down 11 with 3 minutes left. My guy drains a 3 to cut the lead to 8. Got a steal and I pull up for another 3 but it rims out. Eventually a stop, pull up for another 3, and it goes it - down 5. Team steals and sent ahead for a dunk - down 3.

There's about 40 seconds left now and I'm feeling hot. I trail the break, get the pass at the top of the key, and just launched it with the defense in my face. Tie game. Then Ginobili gets past my guy and draws the foul (he draws more fouls than anyone I've ever played against). Makes 1/2 with about 20 seconds left and we're down 1.

Now my initial plan was to get a shot with more than 10 seconds left, just in case we miss so we can foul and still have a chance to tie if they make both free throws. But the damn computers and dribbling around the 3pt line and ignoring my player calling for the ball. They drain the clock to 9, finally they pass it to me. I figure, what the hell, might as well clear out and go for the win. I pull up over Gary Neal from 18 and drain it with 1.1 seconds left.

Spurs call a timeout, pass to Ginobili about 5 feet behind the 3 and it goes in... But since you can't get a shot off in that amount of time in this game, it didn't count and we won.

I don't mind because we won, but it's still ruins the end of the game. In 1.1 seconds in real life, you can get a dribble and the shot off. In 3.2 seconds, you can get the ball at the free throw line of the opponent, dribble to your own 3pt line and get a shot off.

3.2 seconds of this game. You better be facing the rim or you have to fadeaway.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Captain Cheese is killing it in his first month of his NBA career. After 9 games the Wizards are 5-4 after starting 0-4, and he is on top of the world, leading the NBA in scoring with 38.6 PPG off of the bench. His rating is 69 and he has a player of the week honor already, and we're still in November. The press is loving this guy, with his buzz sitting at 69-72-74 respectively.

The Jordan Brand has teamed up with the NBA to debut his first commercial, "Where Amazing Happens". He has been on the cover of two magazines and on two billboards. His stock is constantly rising, and at this rate, we could be looking at a first year All-Star and a rookie MVP award. The future is bright for this young man as he vows to break Ray Allens single season record for three pointers. If the Wizards organization was smart, they'd sign this guy to a bigger, longer contract immediately, before he decides that Washington D.C. isn't a big enough market for his talents.

John Wall's leadership skills are currently in question with the loud mouth "Lone Ranger" on the team. He has demanded himself be known as the sole leader of this team, and has declared himself the future of this organization moving forward. This "Long Range Sniper" is quickly making a name for himself and is quickly setting himself apart from the average young loud mouth rookie with his superb play on the court. He likes to compare himself to Kobe Bryant.... mixed with Michael Jordan.... mixed with Ray Allen.... with a little Allen Iverson sprinkled with a big dose of RH3, minus the Kobe, MJ, Allen, and AI aspects. In short, the most complete shooting guard to ever step foot onto an NBA court.

The Jordan Brand company had no comment. When RH3's agent, Allen Iverson, was asked about his client's recent comments, he only had one..... "I don't know any Allstar that comes off the bench.... make him a starter....... Wait, what are we talking bout? Practice? We talking bout practice?!"
