Maybe off-topic but can anyone tell me how to embed youtube's clips to post here? Auto embed from youtube website didn't work.

For example, if I wanna post clip of my MP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuz5YwH58iM

Get up all your shooting attributes, you also need consistency to be high. Shoot in Traffic might help. Also your abilities.

Shot Close, Shot Inside, Mid Range, 3 Pointer, Shot in Traffic, Layup, Consistency, Strength, Ball Security, Off Hand Dribbling.

Don't ever try to force your own shots. I had this mistake when I started My Player. Let the offense come, and only shoot when you have a good look, or some sort of mismatch you can exploit. It helps to know the basic dribble moves (step-back, gather, fade, etc.) as well as some layups (spin, dropstep, eurostep, etc.) Learning moves in the post (up-and-under, fade, jump hook, dropstep, spin, etc.) is really helpful, and once you can master those in close oppurtunities, you'll see your % rise dramatically.

Also, running plays if you're a PG is good. Your MP coach or PG will run some plays for you, and that helps you get some higher % open looks, or, if you're a big man, Pick-and-Roll is very useful.

How the hell are your stats so good! Do you play every game?

lol thanks. I play every game (I'm only 73 OVR). I really just focused on offense first: Shot Close, Inside, Mid Range, 3 Pointer, Layup, and Post Moves. My PG is sort of big, so I get around 30 MPG at point, and 10 MPG at shooting guard or small forward (6'5"). So I get more scoring oppurtunities at the 2 or 3. My MP is big, so the coach sometimes runs post isos for me, and playing in the post is really fun, and I draw lots of 3-point plays there. The set plays run for me are usually like 3-pointers, and I get out in transition a lot, so some easy points there. Otherwise, it's just knowing how to get inside, draw fouls, and create seperation to get more points. I started the season as a total ball-hog (limited MPG) and shot like 40%, but now, once you master the post, shot, and layup moves, and raise abilities, it's more fun and easier to score, even on HOF (I play superstar).

In terms of assists, I run plays, and the Knicks offense is based on:

-Isos (me, Carmelo, Amar'e)
-Pick Plays (open shots)
-Pick-and-Roll (open layups/dunks)
-Transition
-Open 3s

My asssists come mostly from these plays the auto coach runs, or the plays I call. Just finding the right plays to get guys good looks, or open looks is the key to getting my assists. Isos probably take up 55% of our plays, and like 75% of those isos are for Melo. Stoudemire's isos I'm fine with, because he's a high % shooter this season (.586%, 1st). So obviously no assists there.

The Pick plays are basically for me, but usually I'll call the play "NYK Horn Flex Cutter" or "Knicks 12 Over" which are for our shooters (Fields, Anthony, Walker, etc.) and that gives them open 3s, and that's a 1-pass possession so that's an assist. If you abuse those sorts of plays, the CPU will pick it up quickly. Pick and Roll is the most effective part of our offense (when I run it). It works for any big on our roster (Stoudemire, Chandler, etc.) even a guy like Derrick Brown does it well... You have to lead your man into the screener's body, and drive. The screener will be open, and anyone who can shoot inside 3 feet will make the shot if you run it right, so more assists. Others are easy things like in transition, finding someone open for 3, or easy buckets in the paint. When we run Isos for me, it helps to have a slider set with Backdoor Cuts 100, which makes your CPU team-mates cut and move around in Freelance. Finding guys under the basket is also more assists.

I didn't focus on crashing the boards early in my MP's season, so if I did, I'd probably be 5~6 RPG. That's just about awareness (shot clock, positioning, where your man is in relation to shooter etc.) I've said my PG is tall and big, so the blocks are just a result of timing and positioning in relation to man and basket. Using the aggessive block animation helps with chasedown blocks like LeBron lol.

I'm really bad at playing the passing lanes, and I usually get a lucky steal every game so that's how I get that 1 SPG.

===

Basically, the key to those numbers is mastering the post, layup, and shot moves, when the use them, how to use them, etc. In terms of assists, just undersatand your plays, CPU team-mates and the most effective plays. Having a high team-mate chemistry (mine's 94) helps. Also, don't feel it's bad to run a play for yourself every once in a while, as long as it works. Having good positioning is key to blocks and rebounding. And I haven't figured out how to steal effectively yet lol. Just try and get as many high % looks as possible it my tip for anyone wanting to score more.

I use "The Boat's NBA 2k12 Slider Set" for Superstar, and it works amazing, with realistic team and player stats and %. Also, when you execute your post, layup and shot moves, it actually works, but you can't cheese, so it's a good balance.

Sorry for the essay, but I hope I helped people at the same time.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I got 1000 career points. I got Dunk to 75. After my next 2 games and my next set of drills, I should be able to get it to 80 so I will be able to do the specialty dunks. Then Standing Dunk to about 80-85, then Shoot Low Post. Then Stamina, Ball Security, and Off-Hand Dribble. Only career milestone I can get this year now is 1000 career rebounds, but that wont be until late this season.
My stats dropped while simming. I avg 18 points, 10.7 rebs, and 1.8 steals. We are 13-11. I think my Rebounds and Blocks will stay around the same mark because of my high reb rating and block rating. But, my Off grade is only 74 and def is 79. Ball Security and raising my Physical ratings will boost my OVR. I think once I raise my Off and Def AWR rating I think it will raise my stats. My stats while simming are usually 10-21 points, and 10-15 rebs.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We snapped our whoever knows game losing streak against the Cavs, and in our last game dissapointingly lost to the Hornets but I played really well with 4 blocks (at 6 foot 1 lol) and 1 turnover. Could've had a double-double (9 points, 10 assists) but I missed a free throw earlier that game. I think I may be starting to regret requesting a trade; I really like playing for Milwaukee and feel that we have as much of a chance as the other team at winning but something always happens and we end up losing.

The Bucks rating dropped to 69 before I requested my trade. The final stage of the 25 game losing streak was against the lowest rated teams in the league (blowouts). They managed to defeat the Cavs (my last gm for them) and my new team (Kings) and then proceeded to go on another losing streak after my departure. Coach Skiles is on the Hot seat as of today.

Did you make a trade file? I still have my original Center/Bucks file just in case they traded me somewhere that I would hate.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I made an athletic 6'9 SF and was drafted by the Mavericks. Everything seems to be perfect, were winning almost every game and my guy is averaging 20 ppg, 8 rpg, and 7 apg. All I do is run the pick and roll, and I'll either throw it down or kick it to Dirk.

No I didn't think of that, because it takes a while to get traded and no matter what happens I'll go through with it. Besides, I'm not going to play those same games over again considering I play on 12 minute quarters which take forever.

Speaking of Skiles, he was fired from our staff a while back ago, we're onto our third coach because we've been losing so much

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I really hate the cpu comebacks in this game, its like a switch is turned on in the 3rd qtr and every player can drive and euro step all the way to the basket for the and 1.. I just had the clips light me up with over half their points in the paint.. Griffin had 24 and 12 rebounds, didn't miss a shot and neither did D. Jordan

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

My Athletic Pg got drafted to the Jazz at the 12th pick. I'm happy with that, but I really wanted to go to the Knicks.Struggled in the 1st half only having 5pts, 0reb, 3assists. Then in the 2nd half he caught fire. Finishing the showcase with 15pts, 6 assists, 6reb, 1stl, and 2to's. I was happy to go to the Jazz and play with Kanter.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

What is the general consensus for settings? Or what do you guys prefer to play on? I started out playing on pro/simulation, 12 minute quarters, and run plays on. It was fairly realistic at first, but now that I've had a couple of high scoring games, it feels like we can't win games unless I'm dropping 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ assists. I'm thinking about trying to make the jump to all-star simulation but I've seen a few posts in here about plays being broken, extra bumping when moving around, and teammates playing worse.

I like where my teammates are playing now, but I'd prefer if I didn't have to be the best rookie since Wilt Chamberlain.

I've yet to find a work around specifically for MP on the problem you described.
