Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

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.

That is my problem though. Early Last year, I used to do more than 1 at a time. But later that year and this year, I have been focusing on 1 thing. I have maxed out Vertical, I will buy the extender when I get up to $300k. I really want to boost standing dunk and strength.
After I get Shoot in Traffic to 85, I will start boosting more than 1 rating. Once I get shoot in traffic to 85, I will make more close shots. I dont really take any shots and with 85 Close, I can make the short shots.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I did very well against the SPurs. I had 23-12 and we won. I shoulda got POG.
I was able to get Shoot in Traffic to 85. I will boost Shot INside and Shot Low Post to 88(both at 82). With Shannon Brown being out for 4-6 weeks, I am forced to be the lead scorer. I dont even like taking much shots. I have a Key Game against Dallas next. If I have a good game against them, I should be able to get Shot inside and low post to at least 84.We have GREAT Teammate Chemistry at 85%. We dont have money to trade.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I going to be starting a My Player here in a couple of weeks once they get the official opening week rosters set. I'm either going to do an all-around pg or all-around pf/c. First question which attributes should I upgrade first that would make the biggest difference with My Player?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had another good good in a Key Game. I had 27-8. We lost though. Without Brown or some one who can score over 15, I am forced to take the shots. I accomplished the 100 career rb and got over 7000XP. I got Shot Inside to 88 and Shot Low Post to 85. I will get Shot Low Post to 88. After that I will start to boost Shot Med and Standing Dunk. I have to expand my offense, to help our team

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just had my best statistical game as a pro, against GS. I had a career high 33 points and 10 rbs. I achieved almost all the game goals besides winning. I completed 5 milestones(3+ steals, 5+ FTs, 30-10, 2+ steals, 30+ pts. If this was a key game, I would of had 10K XP. I got Shot low Post to 88, Shot med to 75, and Standing Dunk to 57

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I am 4th in rookie scoring with 13.1 ppg and 3rd in total rookie rbs with 113(I will be able to be #2 since the #2 guy is my teammate). If I am able to have a 20+ game against Magic, I will be 2nd in rookie scoring behinds Williams(MINN). With Brown and Hill being either hurt or out, we dont have a guy that can takeover. Nash has the ratings, but since is the definition of a Pass-1st PG; he passes up on oppurtinities. I would like for us to trade for a young wing guy that can score 15+. With my skill set, I can be a 20-10 guy, but at most I will shoot around 15-22 times(with most of them being with 10 feet of basket. I have a 81 Teammate grade. In a few weeks I should have 90+.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

should I start my myplayer now?

[zrearp]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

thinkin bout starting a center. Whats the best playstyle and height? And what to build skill points on?

[rosque]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Best center is athletic. Make him something like D12 size wise. And work on vertical first then on standing dunk and shoot in traffic until 80-85 and then from inside-out on your shot and then hook shot and low post. That is how I'm doing my player and in my debut almost had firts double double.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Not sure whether it is possible to be all-star starter. Here problems i found:

Im currently on 2nd season in MP mode. Im 3pt SG with overall rating of 99. (Lebron is second highest in the gameat 98.)

I played every game in my RC season with Suns at 12mins/q on pro difficulty.

During my first season I was voted to be a starter at all-star game. I got the second highest vote behind Kobe. I should be the starter. However, when i enter the game, Westbroke stole my spot. Somehow, i was downgraded to bench#12 whi got just 10 minutes by the all-star's coach or whoever responsible for it. (Again, i got second highest vote behind Kobe and should be a starter. Lucky for me, after 1st all-star, i didnt get the issue like my 2nd time)

Ok. Maybe because i was just RC. I wait for my 2nd all star game. This time, I request a trade to Bulls. (They traded Noah with me) Until the all-star, I average 50+ppg, 7.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, 4.2 spg and 1.0 bpg. (Not that hard to achieve these stats on pro difficulty at 12 mins quaters with me being 99 overall rating while ur teammates are bad with scoring. Even if i sim some games, the sim stats still high)

This time, i got the highest vote above the entire league. My vote is twice more than Rose and Wade so I think I should be a starter for sure. Again, Rose and Wade took my spot and i was downgraded to bench. This time i got 19 minutes and manage to score 47 points, 3 rebs, 1 ast, 3 stls and a block. (Really great game. Again, i play on pro difficulty at 12 mins and im already 99 rating so these stats are possible) i hope to get mvp all-star coming off the bench (while i should be a starter) but i found that there only be a player of the game. Ok thats fine. At least I got almost 2500 skill points for plaing this game.

The moat frustrating thing is i found later that imediately after i have a beast all-star game, coach thibs moved me from starter to bench for some unknown stupid reasons. Bugs or glitches? My minutes were reduced from 41 to 12. Now coach start Shannon Brown rates 75 over me (mvp from last year, curent mvp candidate, 2times all-star with 99 ovr rating, avg 50+ppg )

That's really stupid and make me wanna throw my joystick again. So i have to fight for my starting spot again while reduced minutes wull affect my milestone, my stats and my current awards race. Being bench means yor key games were reduced too since u wull not have key games when u gonna have to fight with stars in your positions. I simmed to next key games about 10 games later and i found that i still unable to cliam my starting spot back. Ridiculous.


At least, i saved game before all-star match. I reload and sim to play next key game, skipping all-star game and i found that this way i still be a starter. So if i play in all-star game, i will be reduced rold to be a benchwarmer on my team (Bulls) too. I regret that i have to let my great all star game go in order to keep my starting spot at Bulls.


Really pissed me off. Come on 2k.

Love reading your updates man. I'm a rookie small forward playing with the Suns too, and so far, not so bad, as we are 2-4 and I'm averaging 12 points. I'm a 3 point specialist so most of my points come from behind the arc as it's hard to create shots with 64 speed and horrid handles, but I'm working on increasing them, mainly my handles. Got my on-ball D as high as the 80 cap, so I'm going to focus on rebound, vertical, and handle now.

Quick question illwill, you play with the computer calling plays or just run freestyle out?

I started off with computer plays, but freestyling it now. I didnt mind not getting possessions. But I didnt like the plays they were constantly calling. Especially since Shannon Brown is out for alot of time. We have been doing well since then. Since the Suns is full of jump shooters, I set a ton of picks. I do that because, we dont have any body that can take over. So, I try to set good picks so they will shoot more. Besides Nash(who inconsistent as a scorer. he can make shots, but he isnt going to take over), the other guys are just 5-10 point scorers. I am not at the point where I can take over and score 25+. I can, but not without shooting over 22 attempts.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Now I'm a 6'10 PF. I have 2 min left in the rookie showcase. His name is Kevin Oakley, he's a defensive PF. Great in the post with 80 strengh. He has 11points, 7reb. 2assists. At the half I got all 5 stars except a 4 star in passing and 3 stars in rebounding. I feel it's going great... just hope I get interveiws with teams that don't have good PF so I can get the starting position fast, like with the Pacers.

Might not turn out well when David West / Tyler is in your way

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I just played game against Orlando with my PF. Even though I had 20 pts and 9 rbs, I got embarassed. It wasnt even defensive(too some extent, I did miss oppurtunities). I think I got blocked 6+ times(4 by Dwight) and probably caused 3+ TOs by calling for ball inside. I HAVE to start pump faking more. Like I said before since I have to be the main scorer(because Nash will barely go over 15 and Brown injury), I have to get near the basket to score. Once I get Med range to 80+, I will take more shots.
I an cyrrently boosting Shot Med and Standing Dunk. Once I get them both around 85, I will start boost Strength.
