Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Just deleted my player. My 65 overall center gets traded to the Celtics for Rajon Rondo. I cannot continue to play this mode until they fix the horrible trading and the unrealistic three point shooting.

WOW! thats just ridculous

...and I assume you wanted to go to Boston to play with Rondo, and then they trade him for you.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

made a smal SG and was Drafted by the Knicks. i can also play PG and do this often.
behind Fields i get many Minutes and i think i will be starter in a few Games.
The Knicks trade Melo and T. Douglas for JSmith and Al Horford after 9 Games. Ok in real life this trade never happens and i´m not satisfied with the trade logic in this Game right now but for me or the Knicks i think it was a good trade.

PG Billups, ME
SG Fields, ME, Walker, Mason
SF JSmith play this Position during the Games
PF STAT, Balkman
C Horford, Turiaf

I think its a pretty good Team. We´re 10-4 now very good solid Start in the Season!

Sometimes I wish I had a capture card. Shooting off the dribble is, SO reliable in this game and not very hard to do. The very first thing you need to do is to get your dribble pull up ability to great. This effects dribble pull ups and drifters. I bold drifters because these are my bread and butter. My second season in the league I was averaging somewhere around 35 points on 46% shooting with a 40 dunk and 50 layup. In other words it was ALL jumpshots. Of course that's better now, but it's possible.

Are abilities worth all the points it takes within the first or second year? I have a Scoring SG and all his shooting atributes are average and I can make a fair share of my shots. Basically do Attirbutes help that much?

Not in the first year no, but by middle of the second year you should have a few. They're not there for no reason. There's a reason they're expensive. Everything helps.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

i absolutely cannot create off the dribble. im just a jump shooter lol and thats my only way of getting points as a sg

I'm good with the isomotion controls but knew I would turn it over if I do what I'm capable of, lol.

I started putting all my points in my midrange and got it to 90. I was strictly a jump shooter.

I then immediately switched to dunk I got it up to 70, got my shoot in traffic up, got my vertical maxed at 99, and added 10 more to dunk.

My guy went from a jumpshooter to a slasher who finishes with contact. My speed (through drills) is also an 88, so if I'm given the tiniest bit of daylight I can go strong to the hole.

Basically, the ability to dunk will add a a whole new element to your jumpshooting offense.

I'm in my second year as an All-Around Center for the Golden State Warriors. I've got my mid range shot up to 85, but my Mid Range Tendency is only at 18. Is there any way to increase that?

Shoot more mid-range jumpers. A tendency is just that... a likelihood that something will occur.

So if you have a whole year and a half of play in the post and are just now expanding your range, your tendency is still to bang in the paint.

I hope that's true. My dude is such a turnover machine off the dribble. Eventually I'll take my dunk off of 50...


FINALLY finished my regular season of my first My Player season.

Won rookie of the year, 3rd team all-NBA, 1st team all-defense.

22.5 ppg/3.2 rpg/5.1 apg/2.5 spg/0.8 bpg on .512/.490/.763

76ers finished 52-30 and got the 3rd seed in the East.

Saved up my April points so I could have a nice boost for the playoffs. Saved up 43k and used 41k to take speed from 70 to 90. Hopefully that does something... Chose speed only because it's the most expensive attribute and I would never add to it if I did it on a game by game basis.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

From my observations, this has been an addressed issue...
I havent personally seen this issue myself on MP, maybe its bc im a PG, I think it may have to do with many others MP's not being PG and them not being able to call plays, bc i do so very often as a PG and i havent seen not one change in my playbook....or maybe its just a case to case thing being that you are a PG, along with trade logic issues i can see how this one is another big problem being that this will alter your chances in getting the W for your team.

That's the thing, I was a PG. Pur playbook just randomly changed for no reason. At one point we were running plays from Miami and Detroit too. Just ridiculous

I have been shooting mid-range since probably the middle of the rookie season. I am only playing Key Games so perhaps it has something to with MP when the computer simulates him?

I love how no matter what time of year, day or what my player is wearing he never takes off his lucky headband. I love the suit, tie, headband combo he sports when walking into games.

Yep I wanted to play with the starting five.
