Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Yeah I actually look forward to the post game interview to see how much of a douche I can make my guy sound like, lol.

Anyone what is everyone doing as far as playing the games? Are you guys simming and just playing key games or are you playing every game? Saw some people are already in the 80's as far as skills go in the first season. I'm a 68 rating 28 games into the season simming ahead once to the next key game. So I've played most every game thus far.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I simmed most of the games in my rookie year, simmed some and played some in year 2 right now my guy is only a 70, but I"m averaging 17 ppg, 8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game this season.

celts have won 4 in a row since trading for me, we finish a game and then boom, big baby gets traded, for jamal crawford, and now with kg hurt jermaine oneal becomes our new pf, it's a shame I loved playing with big baby

I also upped my dunk to 67

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

i have a question.
When you buy a player's jump shot, does that also give you their dribble pull-up/escape dribble pull-up set?

im contemplating on whether i wanna buy D-Roses or not

I've seen people mention crazy trades in MP, but I didn't know they got this crazy. So, I'm on the celtics, about 9 games in, choose to play next key game. Like 20 games get simmed. Boy was the gm busy. Pre game video montage comes on and I see Dirk. Huh? Then they show starting lineup: Jennings, Stephen Jackson, Caron, Dirk, Gortat. What?

I check the rest of the roster. Marion, Terry, Boykins on the squad now too. 5 trades, 12/3, 12/5, 12/6, 12/8, 12/17. x2 trades with mavs and bucks, one with suns. Guess the big 3 won't get a shot to make one more run.

My team hasn't made big trades yet, but I was in the nuggets b4, they traded me and kenyon martin for eric gordon.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Has anyone else gone to pro/default settings like some users suggested? I have! And I've had 2 really good games, competitive up until last 6 min both games and my Knicks pulled away both times, with me having good games. I can see and feel a different flow to the offenses, it just seems more free flowing. Want to keep playing on this setting to see if I can really like it, just have a sample size so far. I have found that whenever you feel a play breaking down (if you have plays being run on auto) or just don't like the way the play is unfolding, to quickly select right on the d pad and select "best play" I've come away getting the ball right away to set up again or the ball handler to improvise better and find the open man instead of trying to bulldose himself to the basket mindlessly.

As for trades, going into 45th game of season and no superstar trades yet except for the team I'm on (Knicks) management tried trading Carmelo and amare, but restarted the game from last save and simmed to next key game and management got the picture by instead trading some role players on my team and others so far...

I am averaging 16 points and 7 assist as a 6'3 pg. Trying to get my assist up to 9-10 before the season is over but I'm steady climbing. If you try out pro/default let me know if you like it and how it plays for you!

I have a beast 6'11 PF. He is beast shooter. In his opening game for the Jazz had 10 points 4boards in about 15min. It was an okay 1st game.We have beasts down low. Me, Gibbons (3rd pick center) Jefferson, Millsap, and Favors isnt that beast.

Do team mates play like Hall Of Fame if the difficulty is hall of fame?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I drop my mnutes per game from 12 to 8. I am not up for any awards besides Most Improved Player. I really hate the plays Houston calls for me. But, I am not sure I will play the next season until the patch comes out. I dont want to go to a team with a roster I like, but it gets decimated by mid-season.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I know it's going to sound like I'm cheesing but...I've been playing on All-Star/Sim and at the end of my 2nd year I'm an 82 Overall with 90 Mid range, 92 3pt, 99 FT, 99 Shot in Traffic, 90 Passing, 99 Off Awareness, and 99 Consistency (I happened to finish 3rd in the League in scoring at 26.4 PPG)...and I dropped 75 points in a playoff game shooting 19/37 from 3pt land. It got so ridcoulous I sat there and laughed whenever I got the ball because I knew I was finna chuck one up and I knew it was going to go in.

I'm a 6'4 PG and literally the only scoring option. I play for the Charlotte Bobcats. I have to score, otherwise my teammates will brick wide open shots and we'll be down 20 at halftime. Running plays don't seem to help much either.

The starting lineup is Austin Rivers(ME), Wesley Matthews, Shane Battier, Patrick Patterson, and Greg Oden. Neither Wesley Matthews nor Shane Battier can hit mid-range jumpers, so if they're 3 is off...I usually have to chuck more than a couple of 3's up to keep us in the game

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Attempted 37 3's and your name is Austin Rivers?

Yes, that sounds about right.


I sort of know what you are talking about. Last night was the first time I did the 10 3's in one game milestone. Went 10 for 14 from 3 and it seemed like everything was going in.

I tried to get his shot form as close as possible to the real Austin. I think I got pretty close. I got his bowe armed release down right. They just don't have his shot base (the elevation he gets on his jumper is very high).

Oh and the 37 3's? I've seen Austin come down the floor and literally just take ten threes in a row with an occasional drive to the basket. His crossover is something serious though.

Ever had a game where you couldn't hit anything? I've had a couple of those. Recently just went 1-13 from 3's and was a grand total of 4/26 FG's. We ended up getting blown out 100-78.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

So far I am kinda pissed at my player. Way to many turnovers and the three point shooting is ridiculous. Suns vs Purs, total of 32 out of 51 3 pointers made. Did 2k ever test their game? Other than that it is fun, but 2k seriously needs to make a patch so that the game is playable. My player defense is ridiculous cause whoever you guard is automatic from 3 and shoots if you aren't standing on him. Manu made 12 three pointers, and all but 2 were with a hand in his face. 2k, you have some of the s*****est testers ever. 3 point shooting is the worst thing you have ever let into your game copy, and that includes 2k11's spidey sense defense and 2k10's horrible interior defense. Why can't you make a finished product?
