mkharsh33 - NBA 2K11 - ALL STAR Sliders (12 min...real player %)

[mkharsh33]

I mentioned in another thread that I don't have a current season's roster saved...I'm only playing with classic files.

I don't have to bump any sliders because I have awareness cranked up a bit in my rosters...

I just played a game as the Pacers (me) vs. Charlotte (cpu) from 1992-1993 and won 103-97. I posted a box score in the roster threads. I shot 47% to their 45%. I was losing by 9 in the 2nd and fought hard to get it tied going into the 4th. Pooh Richardson played amazing and had 22 pts. and 15 assts. And Reggie hit some big shots, and Smits scored all of his points in the 2nd half.

This game is very well developed and amazingly fun...

Okay, after shouting at the game and calling my players over a dozen different names, I managed to improve my record to 3-6. I'm now on a 2 game winning streak, coming off from wins against the Blazers and the Clippers. Getting out of that losing steak was -hard-, let's hope I don't dive right back into another one.

I just decided to keep playing, despite my humiliating, ego crushing defeats. These sliders are really addicting, and make me want to keep going and try to win.

Good job, man. I just extended my losing streak to 0-4, losing to the Pistons. I love how I've been improving in each game, though. Offensively, I focused on getting good looks with ALL of my players, rather than leaning heavily on LeBron and Wade. That worked out really well, allowing me to better exploit mismatches.

Now, I need to focus on defense. I lost last night because I let them shoot 53% from the field and they pulled away in the 4th quarter (lost by 9). Part of the problem was that I tried to defend the PG position all night, even though I had trouble staying in front of them (which has been a problem since moving up to All-Star). No more of that. Starting next game, I'll guard the least offensive threat and let my teammates handle the other guys.

Boston is coming to town next, and I'm already game-planning in my mind. Can't wait to get back to it. I know my first win is coming soon!

if u want to win, u have to play on-ball defense most of the time.

The stats with these are perfect for me, but i can´t seem to win because in the 3rd quarter, ALWAYS in the 3rd quarter, the cpu just KILLS me!!!

I call timeout´s, im focused, i don´t panic, but they ALWAYS go on a streak in the 3rd...

However, in the end... the stats are good. I usually concede only between 44 and 47 field goal percentage (mine is around the same), but in the end... i lose by 8 or 10...

Im with the Pacers though, so, not THAT great of a team...

Same here. I have to scratch, fight and claw to stay with the CPU in the 1st half. I've actually put together some nice 3rd Quarter runs lately and I've been playing really good ball in the 4th quarter. I think my late-game advantage comes from managing my subs; I make sure I rest my starters and don't bring them back in until they have a full 5 bars of energy.

My team normally performs decently in the 1st half. It's usually in the 2nd half that my players suddenly forget all about this "basketball" thing I'm making them play.
