MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

[canes21]

Well, we have a thread for franchise mode, so I figured we should have one for my player as well.

I created a 3rd baseman named Flint Laster. He's 5'10'' around 180 lbs. I made him a lead-off type player and have continually increased his contact and power ratings and not so much they eye ratings which I need to do to get called up.

Through just over 20 games I'm hitting over .400, have a mid .400's on base percentage, have scored nearly 20 runs, and have nearly 20 RBI's too. I had a 12 game hit streak end a couple of games ago, but I'm looking to get my new streak extended to a measly 3 game, but you have to build it up. I'm hoping I can beat my 12 game hit streak with this current one.

I'm using MK's sliders, so I don't know why I am a beast at the plate because in my franchise with the sliders I am 9-12 with the Braves, but in My Player I am dominating these AA pitchers even though my ratings aren't that great, but are pretty good for AA I guess with my contact in the 60's and power in the 50's.

So how are you all doing in My Player? Are you having success like my Flint Laster, or are you struggling to put up the stats you need? Come in and share your stories.

I started a starting pitcher, 6'1"/195 pounds, for the Twins. I am 3-0 at AA New Britain with an ERA of 0.81 (2 ER in 22 innings) after three AA starts. I throw Fastball, Slider, Change-up (like Franscisco Liriano).

I have a cheap gamepad, which slows down the time it takes to aim pitches. I think that saving a few bucks on the gamepad will cost me more time than it's worth.

So far, I like the way the pitch ratings dynamically adjust based on what's working for you in a particular game.

I have upgraded stamina and control so far. I get pretty tired around 60-70 pitches. In one game, I remember I threw 72 pitches, 50 strikes and 22 balls.

I have gotten 2-3 hits batting already between the 3 games, but that's probably luck.

I haven't calculated how long it could/should take me to get to the majors, but I wouldn't mind spending a full season in the minors, maybe make the playoffs, etc.

I hope it's less annoying than MyPlayer in NBA2k12, which I have grinded on for an in-game season and a half, and I think my progress has been too slow and frustrating.

I started a 5'9" 183 ilb(my real size) slugger catcher for the Braves(just pressed random team to have the feeling of being drafted) I've played 11 games at the AA level and batting around .500 I have 4 HRs 9 RBIs and 5 SBs I hate how the guy after me in the batting lineup sucks he will watch the first two strikes go by without swinging then usually strikes out on the next pitch or two other then that it's been pretty fun

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I created a First Basemen with my name. 6'0" 190 lbs. I began with the Marlins, drafted first round, and batter about .560 in the 25 minor league games before I was called up because of my performance. I hit 13 home runs, 4 triples, and 3 doubles with about 24 RBI's. I was called up a 70 overall, with 60's for contact, power, and 70 for catching and speed. I finished the season hitting 56 homeruns in the 3 month season I played, batting .565 and hitting in 124 RBI's. I led the league in HR's, RBI's, and steals with 77. I led the team from last place July 1st to first place in the east, second in MLB by seasons end. In the post season, I hit 5 homeruns in a 3-1 series win against the reds, 6 HR's in the 4-2 series win against the Dodgers, and hit 6 more HR's in the 4-0 sweep of the Red Sox in the World Series. By the beginning of the second season, I am a 89 Overall, and the 5th Best player in the Marlins organization. I won the MVP, ROY, and WS MVP.

What difficulty are you playing on

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Just started a new closer, 6'4 220 only played in 12 games or so. Only stat im boosting right now is fastball speed. Currently at 95mph. Ballsy strategy it may be but I'm just having fun with this guy trying to recreate Joel Zumaya from his glory days.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I'm playing as a 3rd baseman currently on the Dodgers in my second year. And for some reason I'm getting errors, when I'm not even controlling my player. Other than that I'm enjoying it.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

My MyPlayer 2nd Basemen is still toiling in the Cubs AA system. I am enjoying having the next potential Ryno though!

Question: Does/Can your MyPlayer get injured?

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

I am a shortstop in the Red Sox AA system. I am doing great at the plate, but not very good defensively. Is anyone else getting a lot of errors? I am playing at default all star difficulty BTW.

Going to make a SS contact hitter with the Astro's or A's

I've noticed it's just like hitting a home run in real life. You have to get a good pitch to hit, put a good swing on it, and all that jazz. My player had 3 home runs in 57 minor league games before his call-up(I'm a speedy leadoff/contact role, so 3 HR's is accurate), and of those 3, only 1 was using the "power swing" by loading up, and even then, it was on a hanging curveball. Just keep taking your AB's, and if you still can't get any pop, try up'ing the user power slider a tick or two.

As for My Player, SS for the Braves, just got my call-up on August 23rd after a .401 average in AA(most of that was padded by a 21 game hitting streak leading up to my call-up) with 3 HR's, 33 RBI's, 17 steals, 6 triples with a 77 speed rating. Major League debut went 1-4 with my first hit being an RBI single up the middle off of Ryan Vogelsong to give the Braves a 4-3 lead! We're deep in a pennant race, trying to either take the NL East or settle for one of those 2 wild card spots.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

Ive had countless flyouts in the warning track. Btw, im on a 40-game hit streak as RF for the AA affiliate of the red sox and we're on track for the postseason.Around 30 rbi and runs apiece and as mentioned above,0 home runs. Also have 0 steals as my player runs with a parachute attatched to his back. 0-4 in steal attempts but once my guy (Ryan Dukes) gets better speed ill attempt a lot more often. Hoping that ill be with the sox by May of 2013.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

All in one game i went 3-7, raising my avg above .400 for the first time, i hit my first hr in the first inning using power swing, and scored the game winning run by tagging up on 3rd base and beating the throw home in the 12th inning.Pretty good game.

Re: MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

anyone have a guess as to what the default batting camera is in My Player? I would assume the same as default in the rest of the modes, but to me, it feels different, and I prefer it. But unless Ive missed it, I dont see where you view what batting camera is used.
