Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Thanks to getting 10 points in a game. I maxed Shoot in Traffic at 95. I will now work on Vertical to 85, then Def Rebound. Those 3 ratings are my most important ratings for my game. I am doing the Dribble Course, so I dont have a good jumpshot and cant rely on close shots to get gold. I got Durability to 98. I will max that, so I wont get that when I do that drill.
I wish I could give my teammates durability boosts. Dirk and Vince is out for 1-2 weeks and Odom is hurt.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Coach took me out the game when I was 1 point away from my 1st 20 point game. I couldve had it already, if I didnt miss 3 FTs and took a bad shot. But, we beat Suns. But, I accomplished some milestones and got over 5000 XP. Shoot In traffic really helps make tough shots. I couldnt make a post shot, but most of my shots came from transition. I got Vertical to 69. I will stop at 85. Next game I will go for 20. Then I will work on Def Rebound then FT(important since I will take alot of FTs). Then Probably Block, then Off Rb

Yea. Shoot in Traffic isnt that expensive. Since it is easy to get A- teammate grade or better and get early milestones, I was able to max that and Vertical at 85.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Even though I just maxed Durability, I just sustained a Severe Ankle Sprain in a game agains Suns. I had 13pts, 5 rbs, and 3 blocks in the 1st half. I still had good XP for that game. I am out for 2-4 weeks. It wasnt a big deal, since I didnt have a key game until 3-4 weeks. But, It hurt chances to achieve milestones. That was the 1st injury I ever had in MP.
I maxed out Shoot in Traffic and Vertical. I am now working on Def Rebound. Then FT to 85, then Block. After that Shot Inside and Close.

Yes only key games. Want to get very deep into career. I usually only played Key games because I didnt like the team Im on. But I am not sure with Dallas. They are an old team and Dirk doesnt score alot in the game. But, I dont mind eventually starting over Odom because he is use to coming off bench and we have a good frontcourt.

Are you on PS3?
If so, there is a thread on the 2k forums, that should help you

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

We(Mavs) are at the All star break. I won Rookie of the Month in January and is in the Rookie/SOPH game. I am avging almost 9 points, 5 rebs, and 1 block. Thanks to some milestones and some good games. I got Def Rebound to 92. I should be able to max that at 95 after the R/soph game. I will have maxed my most important ratings 1st(Vertical, Shoot in Traffic, and Def Rebound). Next, I will boost FT to 85, Block, then Shot Low Post.

does upgrading rebound just help simmed games or what? because with my PF i have no problem pulling in 10+ rebounds when i play, i just don't see where upgrading rebound helps in the game, except maybe simming

I think it does help your in game performance. Many rebounds that are contested by two opposing players will often seemingly go to the player with the higher rating.

I'm talking when they are both practically touching the ball at the same time.

But I could be wrong, just my opinion.

Just got my 5000th career points and 500th steals. A bit angry with the management for trading Rondo for Oden. The team now only have 1 pg.

It helps both.
I want to average high rebounds.
But, i noticed with my other PF. that once I got rebounds to 90+, I was able to get more rebounds and the contested ones easier
