I usually have my labtop near me when I play, so I post after a game/drill. I didnt have a early class today, so I stayed up late and woke up early.
When I start up a new MP/close to playoffs/in playoffs/close to BIG milestones, I play to a point where I am comfortable with my game

I actually like my new PF than my old PF. I dont have the Jumpshot like he had, but I started with 80 strength and 50 speed. It took me a while to get strength to 80 for my old PF. I got Speed to 55. With Shoot in Traffic Maxed, I can play more in transition. So, I get alot of Foul shot attempts. Thats why I HAVE to boost FT. I shoot around 50% from FT. I want to get my Ft to 85, so I can make most of my FT and miss out on points.
I think my problems with scoring now is I try to do my scoring from the post. Since I didnt touch Shoot low Post or abilitys, I miss those shots. I should try to disengage from the post and take the contested shots

Started an Athletic Point two days ago, Had a good Rookie Showcase, 14 Points, 7 Assists and 2 Steals. It was really fun playing against the real rookies. Brandon Knight was killing it. Kyrie Irving hit a buzzer beater three in the corner to send the game into OT 65-65. We ended up winning by like 4 or 5.


Got drafted 15th to the Pacers which surprised me because I was certain I was going to the Rockets. I do however love this team, Paul George is a beast and those extra two inches he grew helps a lot when he is playing Shooting Guard, Danny Granger is lights out from almost anywhere, David West makes the craziest post shots I've seen thus far, and Roy Hibbert is a big target in the paint.

So Far I've been averaging 12 Points, 1.2 Rebounds, 4.4 Assists, and almost 1 steal a game. I feel like I can probably stay with the Pacers my entire career, hopefully we can start winning some more games once I crack the starting line-up.

Just had a monster game against the Blazers, I shut down Raymond Felton for 25 minutes holding him to only 4 points. I also had a great game on the other side of the ball, getting my first Double-Double with 14 Points and 11 Assists, That game netted me 4670sp.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

First off I'd like to say hello! This is my first post. Then I would like to say that I'm pretty stoked. Just maxed out my PG. Overall 99 with nothing left to upgrade unless I buy a cap increase on a few skills. It's pretty nice. Not as dominant as maxed out in 2k11 because of the lockdown CPU defense, but it's still pretty easy to score.

Just out of curiosity for those who are in their 5th, 6th, 7th season, etc.. Is the draft always alphabetical?

Not sure, but I have a question for people who started their My Players after the NBA lockout ended, do you compete against the actual rookies for draft spots now? Or is it still the generic players?

Actual rookies.

I've found that my turnovers spiked when I first went to All-Star mode. Really, I've just found that the flaws of the passing system are at their worst here, as are some of the problems when your team won't run plays properly. When you're a bad team, you really need to execute, and not turn the ball over, and I am finding it really hard to win if I don't always do a good job of that.

Perimeter defense is harder in that it feels like when you run into a defender, you will always loose the ball, but your matchup can do whatever it wants without getting the pushing back animation.

As for the "score 30 points or lose" thing. Meh, not so much, I just try to score 20 plus points, and get about 10 to 12 assists...

It's harder, but it's a bit more enjoyable because of the feeling you get when you do finally win. However, I frequently rage quit at turnovers, then start the game over again.

I moved to All-Star Difficulty with my Center; and its a real chore. The bumping around in the paint is exausting at this point in his career (game 30). The collapsing of the play is routine every 3rd play down the floor (very discouraging).

Scoring is more difficult but its not over the top. The "D" does rotate faster and they block alot more shots.

I have had to divert my attention from other skill attributes (shot-scoring) to his Off Awareness hoping to reducing the bumping in the paint. The bumping is my personal RAGE intensifier so I got to get this under control quickly since his is primarily a post player. At this point its at (75) and still not enough.

The key difference is you can really see rating differences, my rebounding at Def (85) & Off (81) is practically useless. The number of rebounds "just out of my finger tips" is excessive and the number of OFF rebounds my opponent gets is absurb. In my last game, I had 3 DEF rebounds taken right out of my hands! My rebound average has fallen from 9 to 4 in just a matter of 5 games. And the 4, he gets are "token" rebounds at the end of the game!

The matter of 5 games since the change, is also an 5 game losing streak! We quickly get behind by 10 in the 1st quarter and play catch up (real bad) the rest of the way.

CPU FG% MIL FG% CPU-3 MIL-3 CPU-FOULS MIL-FOULS
51 50 55 50 8 15 UTH-L-91-90
50 41 44 21 5 11 OKC-L-98-73
49 43 27 21 9 11 ATL-L-89-77
48 42 40 15 9 11 WAS-L-82-72
50 42 27 27 9 8 DEN-L-92-73

I now undestand why ppl were rage quitting, an 6-9% field goal percentage difference is a bit much. And yes, the rumor that you need to drop 30 points per night to win is a logical conclusion while SCREAMING!

However, your assessment of averaging 20 points a night should make the team more competitive at this level. With that; its going to take 2 years for this team to be a real competitor at All-Star level making it a tough decision on whether My Player will stay in Milwaukee.

Then again, my PG/Knicks really changed things down the stretch (game 55), so maybe there will be relief later in the season...we will see...

Yes.
Every year, 76ers, Bobcats, and Bucks pick in top 3.
It makes playing for a team like Suns, hard because they will never get young talent outside of trades.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had two back to back good game(bad shooting though) for my PF. In my last two games combined, I had 24pts, 14 rbs, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 10 blocks. I got FT to 80 and will stay there. I am currently boosting Block. I got it to 78. I will stop at 90. Then Shot Low Post. I have to boost SLP. Last two games I shot under 40 %. After that Shot Inside and Close.

I know this might sound dumb but I think I might be done with my player, not the mode altogether but my current guy. My local fan support is somehow at a 13 and our fans are booing the **** out of me. I'm not having difficulty putting up good games, but we can't win anything and it seems so repetitive. I don't play with run plays on because the plays always break and my teammates won't do anything about it. The way I score is basically always the same, drive to the hole using a hopstep, and either draw the foul or pump fake and lay it up. I haven't really mastered any other moves and my guy never executes the move I intend to perform. Plus I can't edit my player or else it'll freeze and I really want to change some stuff up. I'll just make a goofball guy and just have fun with the mode. Is it possible to do a jumpshot combo of Ducksworth and Marion? lol

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We have 7 games left and we are 38-37. We are in 7th place. We cant move up, but with a loss we could move down to 9th. I have 3 key games left and all 7 games are against West and 6 of them are playoffs game. We HAVE to win our games. There is a high chance we wont make playoffs if we cant win the key games.
I got Block to 85. I will stop at 90. Having Good Block+Good Vertical+Good Height, I am able to put up 3+ Blocks a game. I will skip on Shot Low Post. Last game, I didnt take a low post shot last game and I shot over 50%. I will boost Shot Inside and Close to 90. Then Off Rebound and Def Low Post, then Dunk. I achieved my own goals of getting Def Rebound, Shoot In Traffic, and Block 90+. 3 important ratings.
