Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Started a new My Player today. I made a slashing Small Forward and did well in my rookie showcase. (30 pts, 4 rbs, 4 asts, 1 steal & 1 block) Although I was hoping on getting drafted by Houston. I ended up getting drafted by the Kings.

Should I stay here or requests for a trade elsewhere...?

well i look at the teams schedule first if its interesting ill stay
also take in account whats the stats of the other player in your position
if hes good then it might take a while for you to get a starting position

They have me listed as a tweener SF/PF and I could probably move down to the 2. I'm behind John Salmons...and the PF is JJ Hickson.

TRADE!!!! especially considering that you're a SF and probably won't get the ball considering the Kings guards are ISO guards. It's tough I played 5 games requested a trade (we were 6-3 when I was traded) got traded to the Knicks and the Kings are now 10-20 2nd to last in the Western Conference. We won 6 games because I averaged 35 points a game and played a couple easy teams early on in the season.

Also, you might start early on, but if that team doesn't fit your play style I'd request a trade. With the Knicks I'm surrounded with 3 point shooters so I know that if I pass the ball to an open player.....THEY'LL SHOOT IT!!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Question, I was 20 + games into my my player but my ps3 died, hopefully itll turn on so I can copy it but if not oh well. Anyways my question is say I be a Point Forward (SF-PG but ive played PF and SG here too) or any position like C-PF, PG-SG, SG-SF etc... can you start at your secondary position?

Thanks for the tips. I'm interested in a rebuilding process though...so i'll have to choose between Houston or Toronto.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I might recreate my SG I just made. I havent played with him yet. But, I will create the same player. But, I will make him a 3pt specialist. Probably tomorrow.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Any tips on stealing the ball from guards?
The only way I can steal is from passes. Last year it was easier to steal the ball.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My new SG:
18pts 6bs, and 3 steals. I shot horrible in the 4th.
I was projected 12th, but answered horrible and FELL BIG TIME. I fell to the Blazers(21st). I dont like asking for a trade, but I dont like the Blazers. It can be any other team.
I used the 5+ Med shoes and gor Shot Med to 85. 1st thing I am doing is boosting Consistency to 85. Then Defense, then Off Clutch. I am using drills to boost 3pt. So, before I play 1st game, I will have 85 3pt and Shot Med

Since players now attack the ball-handling hand, try to time it and pick your spots. Maybe try to catch a player doing a simple cross (Dribbling from one hand to the other, you know?), or just try to catch a guy as he starts to move. Really try to pick your spots though, it's ok to average a steal or 2 a game.

I dont mind averaging under 2 steals a game, I just want the confidence to TRY to steal from a guard. Besides stealing passes and from big men, I cant steal a ball from a player. I am not talking about trying to steal from great ball handlers, but the average or worse. It wouldnt be a big deal for me if CPU wasnt able to do so, but I see them able to get the steals that I am not able too

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

1st game as a SG wnt horrible. I went 3-13 shooting. Most of the miss were high % 3s. But, I know once I get my 3pt and consistency up, I can make the shots. I acheieved a few milestones and got over 4K XPs. I got Consistency to 77. Having a consistent jumper early will really do wonders for me
I decided to stay with POR. I really dont like asking for a Trade. I will just play Key Games. I have a month until the next game, so that should give me at least 4 drills to get 3pt to 89.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

One thing I wished they would have kept in MP, is Simming to end of game. Sometimes I would like to get through a season quicker since we can sim games besides to key games. I dont like to foul out. I dont care about the XP, but I dont want to sacrifice my stats, especially went I am competing for an award. I could get through seasons so much faster.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I got my SG's 3pt to 89(using drills) and consistency to 80. Since I am a catch and shooter, I will continue to boost Shot 3pt. I will stop boosting consistency once I hit 90. I was going to boost Defense, but since I dont get alot of minutes and will only play key games, I can hold off. I am trying to decide between Off Clutch or Shoot in Traffic. Defenders play me very tight on the wing, so I could boost shoot in traffic.
I wish they gave more FT options in My Purchases. I played a game against someone early and used Denver. I love Andre Millers FT. It is quick and easy to time. I would use either his or Lawson. But, I am able to time Cyclone somewhat well. It doesnt matter for my SG, but for my PF and SG it does
