Quick 2k12 Myplayer questions

[SteveM]

I just got my MP PG enough dunk stat to start dunking (I think it kicked in around 45 or 50) and gave him the Rimgrazer package. It's important that he have some type of package for sure because where before in the Dribble Course he would always lay it in, just giving him the Rimgrazer package has him dunking it. He doesn't get a lot of breakaway dunks but I am getting maybe two or three in games that go well.

Part of your problem is that dunking is just harder to do against the CPU this year for myriad reasons that are covered elsewhere and that people have been trying to fix with sliders. You can't do that in My Player though. The CPU is just way too good at reading and reacting to what you do like it's psychic.

One thing that might help is switching up your offense more. I found I couldn't hit threes and that once I started trying to drive the lane more, both my jump shots and my drives got better. Don't do one thing exclusively. Mix it up.

Dunkfaces.

Hey does anyone know if they mention your name/show your highlights during halftime this year?

And do they mention you if you lead the league in a category, or do they skip over you and talk about a real-life star like last year?

These two things were so annoying to me in 2k11. -_-

I tried getting rid of the dunk package and that didnt go well at all I was able to get enough SP to get my strength up to like 57 so next couple of games it should be higher and I'll let everyone know how that goes.

@gho5twolf my player is actually a PG, but he's on the Bulls so I run SG. His outside and inside jumpers are pretty good so I catch the defenders off guard. I see what your saying as well about the cpu telegraphing your actions in MP though pump fakes help ALOT. I upped his steals to like 87 so I'm able to force turnovers and dunk on the break.

They say your name in the commentary. As far as halftime goes it hit or miss. A couple games I have had like 30 pts and 7 boards, but they didn't say anything. But there has been times where I had a lot of steals or blocks and they mentioned me.

I led the league in points and they didnt say anything about it ingame just about d rose who was right behind me.

Aw man what a let down. It's crazy how they add so much but overlook the little things. If I have a big game, or am having the best game among my peers and we're leading, i should get the mention/highlight during halftime, everytime.

And never mentioning me when I lead in a category is soooo annoying lol

I havent bought 2k12 yet, might wait til 2k13 because of this(yea...it's that big of a deal for me lol)

As far as mentioning you in halftime shows it still relatively the same...same with the league leaders stuff like last year...created players (my player included) still don't have much or any recognition in this game much like last year, they are pretty neglected when it comes to commentary. My player just ads a few lines directed toward your character but other than that he is still pretty neglected, which is a huge let down.

Yea, how no one at 2k has thought of adding more commentary geared towards my created player in My Player is baffling. It's not fun when commentators act like i dont exist
