Looks like YET ANOTHER very disappointing part of My Player this year...

No, no, no and no. You will NOT be maxed out 4 years in. I'm in the first few games of my 4th season. I played every game my first 2.5 seasons and key gamed the rest. I'm not even CLOSE to being maxed out (538,785 skill points total), and that's abusing buying back speed points from the dribble course before maxing it again. While I do have some attributes maxed, and they're all pretty high, I've only got 3-4 Abilities at Great, and all of my post abilities are still poor (waiting till next season when I focus on this. I am a 6'9" SF so if it's like years past maybe I'm getting a few less skill points per game to compensate for him being pretty tall, but even then I estimate I'll need ~ 900K - 1Mil skill points to be maxed, so with proper planning they can be worth it.

Again I say Isiah Thomas is one to look at (for 1s 2s and 3s) if you happened to have maxed out those attributes, and buy back the points before taking the camp, you'll come away with approx. 15K Skill points. Unfortunately bigs probably wont want to work on their crossover so they wont have something quite as good, but even so getting a post ability up to good and then buying a camp can be worth 18K + skill points. So it's not all bad.

Bird's is also good because 3pt and consistency is quite expensive. If you haven't maxed them it'd be worth getting your fade away up to good and those categories to 1 off of their max. Doing so all in one stroke is worth about 27K as Taer said.

Oh and YOU CAN ONLY ATTEND 1 PER SEASON. I forgot to add this. I'll do so now.

Wow, you played your first 200 games? My plan was to play my entire rookie season, but I started to only play key games after about 35 games. I play 12 minute quarters.

By the way, what's your overall and your speed cap as a SF?

[Hotobu]

My OVR is currently 97, I'm a scoring SF, and the caps are practically identical to What they were last year. The only difference I've noticed is that FT and 3PT are now maxed at 99 (which makes 3PT specialist useless, but that's a different story). The difference is that everything costs much more.

Thanks for this thread, u saved me from blowing my salary....

[Hotobu]

One more important thing that I need to add, and people may not have noticed is that by the end of the season you'll only make 70% of the total money on your contract. So if you're planning to squeeze one of these in by seasons end then you'll need to account for that. You'll get payed through the playoffs too, but for those who may go to a team and still fall on hard luck, or get bounced early you may not have enough cash to buy one before the next season.

Hotobu, what difficulty and game style do you play on? I'm looking for a challenge without getting cheated by the CPU. I'm playing on a team full of scrubs, so whenever I up the difficulty for a challenge, my teammates stop rebounding and playing defense and we get blown out by 30.

All-Star Sim. The computer still screws you over, but at least it's sorta kinda beatable. If my goddamned teammates would just boxout we'd probably be damned near undefeated. I'm getting sick of losing because everyone's just standing under the rim. The computer still hits miracle shots too.

Sorry kind of off topic...




Hotobu have you created your stat cap thread yet? I'm curious if all caps are the same as last year or not...
