PF- Jermaine Price
6'10 230
Face-up

I am a Lamar Odom type of PF. I have the size and length to rebound and I will eventually have a shooting game.
I scored 4 pts and 7 Rbs.
I got drafted #13 to Suns

Sounds like the guy I just made, but he's 6'11 250 face up PF. I wanted to make a stretch 4, who could hit open 3s, but it's going to take a while. He's so big and unathletic that it's taking awhile to get used to playing with him. I guess my guy is more in the Sam Perkins mold, though Id like him to be fast running the court. It's been fun so far.

Me too.
I might put his weight to 245. As of right now(only 5-6 games), my main source of scoring is mid range and post. Recently playing alot of CHOOPS 2k8, I am able to pull off more post shots. But, I have to pull them off faster. I have shoot low post to 80. I want to be able to shoot 3 pointers or just have the option to shoot 3 if I have too. But, I dont plan on touching it till past year 2-3. Once I get my vertical up to 80, I can finally be able to pull down more rebounds and block shots.. Then I can work on defense. I am horrible on the perimeter and covering athletic forwards,

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

After my first 5 games having a max of 8 points, I busted out with a 20 point game against Pacers. My mid range game was on fire(I havent even touched it) and my post game was good. I HAVE to do something about my defense. I am horrible. Once I can get my vertical up, it should help on the boards and in the paint. I got Shoot low post to 80. I am currently boost Vertical to 80(at 58). After that I am not sure. I was going to improve Standing Dunk, but it isnt a big priority. The main next three I want to improve is Low Post O, Strength, and Low Post D. As of right now, I am okay with my offense. I want to boost Low Post O so I can have better packages, Strength to help back down/prevent being in the paint, and Low Post D to help stop big men from dominating.
Overall I like playing on the Suns(not love at all, but I like it). I like playing with Nash and Shannon Brown is avging 20+. Morris has been playing good. I just dont like the backups. Gortat is constantly getting into foul trouble forcing me to play at 5(but I dont mind since my guy isnt athletic enough to guard most 4s). We have alot of pull of shooters. I am getting 25+ mins a game. I dont have many chances to shoot because of the shooters in our team. but the game against Pacers, I got a few plays. I am avging a B+ Teammate grade. I am able to get alot of screens.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

1. How to get a lot of Assists? I'm 3 pt SG and barely get 1-2 dimes per game. I was in Suns during my RC year but now I'm with Bulls. Everyone in Bulls barely shoot. When Derrick Rose is open at 3 pt line, everytime I pass to him, he will just dribble the ball into the paint, never shoot. (His scoring is terrible too. Just around 5-15 point per game.)

2. I almost never get offensive rebound. Any tips? I guesss may be because I always be around 3 pt line too much. Also, how to escape the CPU box out and get off rebs? (I barely get 5 or more rebounds per game too. Any tips for that. My def rebs rating is at 70 and off rebs is at 50)

3. Can I do spin dunk even if my skill for "spin dunk" is poor. Whether in real game or shootarounds, my player just spin and never dunk.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Whats Up everyone!?!? Anyways, let me let you guys in on my My Player. He is a 7'0 ft CENTER playing with the GS Warriors. His play style is athletic because if i chose anything else at the 7'0 ft height he was at, then we would have been EXTREMELY slow. I got his mid range jumper all the way up to 81 right now. But there just 1 thing i wanted to ask u guys. I know it may seem suprising but we are THE NUMBER 1 SEED IN THE WEST RIGHT NOW. Our record is 20-3. I do believe that I play on pro/a.s. I cant remember which 1. but do u guys think that I should put the difficulty up to superstar? Also, 1 more thing that may change ur outlook on this, is that, with monta ellis,steph curry, Jared Dudley, Toney Douglas,etc. it seems that we ALWAYS shoot 3's. There has never been a game where we havent shot at least 5 threes. Does the difficulty I play on effect how my teammates play?

If you increase difficulty get ready to lose a whole lot more

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Oy, my PHX Suns just won the championship after just my 2nd season! I now have completed 9/10 in the HOF progress(I'll get the 2500 career assists in no time this season). I already have 2199 ast. Anyways, I played on HOF from the beginning because of pride, I just can't lower the difficulty. Also, I like being "the man" on the team, happy I'm on this bad team, although I do want to play for the NYK, but that's delayed, because they picked up the team option. So I have to wait until the seasons over. Well thAts what the message said anyway. looks like we have the same horrible team this season(starting lineup is me at the 1, Ariza 2, Batum 3, Frye 4, and Pekovic 5). Seems strange that we didn't pick up any player besides our new rookies in the offseason, beacause we had 15million in CAP ROOM, and now we have 22million at the start of this season. I don't know, it's confusing. But yea, I'm proud of myself, so I felt I'd share, we beat the SAS, OKC, the GSW, and CHI to get our ring btw, in that order. The GSW have Ginobili in-case you were wondering howthey be and do good. CHI has Jamal Crawford. Alright, hope y'all Mp is going well.

My MP is a point guard all around. It is much easier to give passes to your forwards and center, go and make plays on the side and you will see eventually that your big men will cut through the basket, however there are chances that it may be stolen try to put your skills on passing at least 80, and put it on steals and mental IQ on defensive awareness, my MP is averaging around 9.8 assist per game and 5.1 steals per game

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Had a MP going, but am going to restart now that the real rookies are in the game. I'll be playing on AS/Simulation.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I am having a tough time with my PF with the Suns. We just lost Shannon Brown fron 8-10 weeks. I am getting more minutes, but I am barely getting shot attempts(mainly when Nash isnt in). If I do, it is when there are .5 secs left. My skill sets are fit for a slower offense.
I maxed my Vertical at 75. I have to find a way to get more rebounds. I will buy the max booster for Vertical. I am currently boost Shoot in Traffic.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just had a couple quick tips to make your team not suck as bad.

1. Make sure your team chemistry is always really high and they wont suck as bad. I think high team chemisty also prevents your team from blowing leads when you arent in the game. So make sure you answer your press interviews correctly. Heres a page with some of the answers because I know some of them are hard to get right. http://www.supercheats.com/pc/walkth...kthrough01.txt

2. Make sure you call timeouts when the other team starts making a run and your teammates cant hit anything. After you call a timeout, your team tends to suck a little less.

3. You need to setup your teammates to make them start hitting shots. If your not a PG you cant send your teammates on cuts (which is ridiculous!) so use directional passing to get your teammates some easy takes to the rim. If you take every shot in the game, your team really suffers and plays like crap, make sure you give them the ball every once in awhile and FOLLOW YOUR PLAYS!!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just had my 1st double double, 10 pts and 11 rbs. It was against the Hornets. I broke 3 achievements, 100 career points, 10 rbs, and double double. I got 4800 XP. I boosted Shoot in Traffic from 48 to 67.
I might be taking over the starting job soon. I am getting 31 mins and the starter is getting 33. We are closely rated. Even though, he plays better than me.
I had a double double against Clippers.

I have to get into better positions to score. I keep shooting mid range shots, even though I havent touched it. I wont really continue to shoot post shots until I get my shoot in traffic to at least 80(at 72). I have a 85 Close shot. but, I rarely get shot oppurtunities from close. After I get Shoot in Traffic between 85-90, I will boost Shot Low Post to 85. After that, I boost Mid range.
I got the starting job from Morris. He went from getting 33 mins to getting 22 mins. I am getting 32. 1st start against Pacers, I had a 20 point game against Pacers last time.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My 1st start as a PF went great, besides getting aired out. I had 26 points, a career high. Double than the next scored on team. Nash only scored 1 time. My 2nd game over or at 20, both against Pacers. Most of my points came from pick & rolls and tough shots. Boosting Shoot in Traffic Really helps. I have it at 77 now. I have 3 straight Key Games(2 against Dallas and 1 against Spurs). So, I should have it at 85+ after that stretch. I should be able to break the 100 career rebound by then. Imma try to get the 30 point mark, but it will be tough against Dirk(twice) and Duncan. Once I get Shoot in Traffic and Shoot Low Post to 90+, I can really start dominating. Something I plan boosting after I boost Shot Close and Inside, is Standing Dunk and Dunk. I am tired of going up with weak dunks. After I work on my offense, I will work on rebounding. As soon as I get enough money, I am buying that cap extender. I want to get my vertical higher.

Your should boost all differnent attributes not just focus on one. You should increase your vertical, strength, dunk, and standing dunk. It makes getting points easier once you can dunk. Shot in traffic should be fine at 75 for a little while until you boost some of your other attributes. Then you can put some more SP into shooting.
