    Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

    OK, so this must be a bug or something... (they're thumbnails)

    - As you can see, I'm rated higher than George, Mayo, and Livingston. Obviously my guy is Reggie Bullock. You can't see Livingston's rating because my phone camera sucks, but he's 59.

    - Yet, I'm back on the bench. I'm raising a minute per game more, so I'm curious to see if I peak at 32 or 33 (starter equivalent) or if I actually start getting more minutes than the starters from off the bench. Also note: Starter next to his role.

    - Graph of my minutes played. Shows how I used to start and suddenly back on the bench. Not making it up.

    I don't care if I get 45 minutes off the bench. I WANT TO FINISH GAMES.

      Ok im 42 games in playing every game as a 6'5" scoring pg on the warriors. 79OVR. A few things are starting to seriously tick me off.

      1. What the heck do I have to do to make my guy throw decent passes??!! my pass rating is maxed at 95, my off awareness at 90, yet my dude throws the most terrible passes. There will be a clear lane and he will throw the ball DIRECTLY INTO THE FREAKING DEFENDER. He also throws passes to the wrong person if you just use quick passing, and RB passing he throws these terrible slow floaty passes. what the heck??

      2. The CPU is ridiculously good at getting steals, especially on ball. My ball security and off-hand dribbling are both above 90, yet I get stripped all the time just doing simple dribbles or single moves. Why do you have a ball security rating if it means nothing against psychic, ninja reaction CPU?

      3. The CPU is unstoppable using flick flick moves with every player like they are all superstars.

      4. The CPU makes a ridiculously high percentage of contested shots, and can magically avoid contact animations in the paint, whereas my team can get borderline criminally molested in mid air from 6 feet away with no foul.

      5. My cpu teammates do the stupidest things off ball. Andres biedrins loves standing at the 3 point line, they cut directly into a group of 3 defenders the millisecond after I press the pass button, etc.

      other than that I like the game though, I just wanna use my my player online.

          i finally discovered why coach isn't subbing me off if i am in foul trouble. (fouled out before 1st half in last 5 games). It is because we have no backup PG arghh. Mo williams and eric bledsoe all gone

              I made a SG for the first time. I started his stats with athletic, so I don't really have a jumper. Any tips on how to score with having a bad jumper?

                Leak out... a lot. Unfortunately because the computer's on ball D is so insane you're probably not gonna score in the half court much. You can try to call for a screen attack the basket and draw fouls, but your best bet is to play the passing lanes and get cheap fast break points on the other end. Overall though just play right try to get your teammate grade up and increase your jumpshot through skill points. I'd say Athletic SG is probably the toughest MP to start with because #1 there are a lot of good, quick players in the league at that position that you're going to take Teammate grade hits at due to them scoring on you, you're probably not going to be in a position to get rebounds and blocks like bigs, and the ball wont be in your hand enough to get assists.

                On another note I really hope next year you can tag players as "favorites" or "dislike" others when you get good enough. That way you don't have to worry about the computer trading them. It makes more sense than 2K11's system where you could identify who you want on your squad (seriously what GM does that?). I have to imagine that GMs and coaches know who their star players like, and know better than to trade them, and they know to get rid of the ones they don't like. I'm absolutely in love with my current team (our defense is amazing) and was almost sick when I simmed a couple of weeks to get to my next couple of drills and we traded Javale McGee AND Tyrus Thomas. Thank goodness I didn't save, because I reset that **** immediately. This time they didn't do the trade. I guarantee that if they insist on getting rid of them and do so I'll stop playing this game.

                  I started as a athletic SG myself....because the dunks and speed are kinda high..... I played 20 games, and STARTED OVER....I got my midrange up to 88 and consistency up to around 90...and couldn't make an open jumper....I got so frustrated that I quit....open shots, perfect release....and still miss....SMH....I'm playing PG now, and im loving it....

                    Fast break, or in the half court, break your man down and then do a spinning layup or something like that.

                      So (good job 2K) my home fans are now booing me. My team chemistry, and both supports are at 99, but the home crowd is booing me. The commentators are talking about how the fans love me and I've done this and that yadda yadda, buuuut they're booing me. I'm thinking it's because 2K got their sound effects mixed... sucks.

                      eh, doing that with juiced stats is hard enough in this game as it is. When just starting out it'll be nigh impossible.

                        Thanks for the feedback. Had a 16pt game after following your guys advice.

                        @Hotobu

                        Yea, I'm kind of kicking myself for not starting as a scorer.

                          Well, I decided to play my Center (drafted to the Knicks)for a bit; requested a trade to the Lakers so I could compare my experiences. Good news is they granted my trade request within 5 games!

                          Bad News: Knicks trade: Me and Amere Stadamire for Kobe Bryant and Lamore Odum. This is with all players involved having No Trade clauses.

                          Needless to say, I loaded my backup and will try again.

                            Just had my favorite game so far about 55 games into my player. (playing on pro/sim)Was not my best game only had 10 pts but I had 9 assist with A grade anyway, my Knicks against the lakers. I started the game off rough committing 4 dumb turnovers in the first half, (none in the second) but man the game felt so real, the ball movement was amazing, with players on both side making and missing shot that I thought were right with good timing. Score is close at halftime 40-45 Knicks 3rd we start kinda pulling away lead by 8.

                            4th lakers come back quick and take the lead by 1 at about the 7 min mark, Knicks make a couple baskets to
                            Lead by 5 with 3 min to go then it was all Carmelo vs Kobe the rest of the way, with the lakers tieing it up, so every time Kobe tied it up or made an assist for the tie Carmelo came right back and took the lead. Melo is suppppper clutch in the game! About 30 sec to go and Kobe ties it up with a fade away baseline, 22 sec to go I hit Carmelo on the wing for a post up, with Kobe guarding then the melo all of a sudden faces up, tries to take it to the hole but awkwardly puts up a little push shot because Kobe played good D..... Misses! gasol under the rim for the rebound with okafor by his side they both jump up okafor grabs it and slams! With .7 sec left. We win, (Kobe put up a fade away from 3 but time expires before he shot)

                              Any Tips on rebounding? I have trouble grabbing a significant amount playing a 7.0 Center, seems like no matter who of my Teammates is contesting i always end up short.
