Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

i created my Athletic SF

Name: Shane Galloway
Height: 6'9
Weight: 260
Number: 0
Postition: SF
Playstyle: Athletic
College: OSU
Drafted: #13 Suns

I really just wanted to make a guy who is plays primarily SF, but is big enough to play PF and fast enough to play SG. now i can step in at PF and cause mismatches with my speed, as well as play SG and cause mismatches with my height.

In the showcase i had like 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists or something. i shot only like 40%, i was forcing a lot because well its the showcase and i really didnt care about my %

i got interviewed by the Jazz, Pacers, and Suns. the Pacers wanted me to move to SG since they have Granger, told them no. i already have a player on the Jazz so i told them i wasnt gonna play for them. and so i told the Suns i would play for them, because i didnt want to drop way back into the 20's since then my contract would suck

i love Nash, and i will love playing with him, even though we probably wont win much, and they usually trade him eventually. but still should be fun for a while. i will probably leave either when they trade nash, or maybe stick it out til my contract is up. unless they trade and get some talent or sign somebody good, i will leave for sure.

This is what I did (although my SF is only 6'4"). I haven't played a basketball game since PlayStation... the first one, so I'm learning as a go. LOTS of losses at the beginning, but as I, and my player, improved, so did the team. I'm thinking Team Chemistry effects team play a lot. That's mainly what I go for in the press conferences, and, even though my player is much better then when he started, Gortat & Morris are grabbing mad rebounds now. Rebounds I was getting. Also, there seem to be more makes by my team.

Nash and I get along great and he hasn't left yet. I only have two problems:

1. I can't drive the lane worth a crap. I'm sure this is just me and not being smooth with the controls, but I am constantly bumping into players and losing the ball.
2. If we play an elite point guard, we lose. Nash's virtual defensive self mimics the real thing and the game goes after him hard.

CENTER/ATH/KINGS/2nd/OVR: 83

Nothing less than a playoff berth for The Eraser!

The Eraser, is proud to announce that his Jordan brand shoe is on the market.

Just in time I need an away shoe for my Guards. Both of the Brand Shoes are +4 - 3-Pt ; since that is the skill point I emphasis the least, but, they will work great for my Guards outside shots from deep.

Skill Points:
At the moment the AI is being a real pain with Stamina, so I boosted from (80) to (85) and dropped a little into my Off Awareness after some pretty "rugged" (bumping) play in Minn (Timberwolves).

Based on my Player Card (Pos Avg Ratings), I only need to boost my Pass (34), Hands (51), then I intend to MAX OUT Off Rebound (85). Still have not really gotten to my Free Throws (77), it needs a bump to (80) before I save for my Abilities. After that enhance Layup, Shot Medium and give him some Emotion every now and then.

Kings: We are really starting to gel as a team. Still having problems with Jimmer Fredette (68) inexperience and poor perimeter D (C+). We are still overly dependent on the 3; but, when the cub needs a basket, no one shoots until the Eraser get a few in the Low Post....it's good to be the No. 1 option...

Key Game(s) - Back-to-Back;

@Mavericks: A little saavy play by Jimmer and the Eraser and we had Dirk Nowitzki in serious foul trouble (3) in the 1st Quarter! Meanwhile the cheese began with Vince Carter and Jason Kidd draining 3s to keep it close. The 2nd half more cheese as Dirk returns and instead of shooting his fadeway he is constanting driving and pulling off spin/layups (no he didnt dunk or I would have needed a new controller) . We keep them at bay (10 pt cushion) until 1:53 left in the 4th Qtr when they close to within 6.

<img src="http://media.nba2k.2ksports.com/screenshot/a053eb0d.jpg" height="375px" width="610px" border="0" />

Were not having it, the Mavs in the full court press fail to account for the Eraser just over the mid-court line, he gets the long in-bound pass and drives all the way and slams it down. The next possession they foul Jimmer (not in the penalty); again the Eraser gets the inbounds pass near the right corner; Dirk turns his back and the Eraser sprints to the hoop, thru Dirk, and WINDMILL SLAMS it Down over Vince Carter!!!

DIRK: 26 PTS
THE ERASER: 28PTS; 3 REBS, 3 ASST, 3 BLKS
KINGS 107; MAVS 98

@ Bulls: Was surprised that they consider a matchup with Joakim Noah a Key Game, but, who doesn't want a 2X skill point multipier, so no complaints. Plus Noah is the player I used as a Skill Set template for creating the Eraser.

However, I knew this was going to be a tough one for Jimmer to handle Derrick Rose. I spent most of the game grinding it out in the paint on offense, boxing out Noah and helping jimmer in the lane.

We had them by 7 at the half, and it stayed pretty much there until the end. No spectacular slam dunks to close this one out, just grit and hustle in the paint!!!

<img src="http://media.nba2k.2ksports.com/screenshot/3617403d.jpg" height="375px" width="610px" border="0" />

The Eraser would deny (block) Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose (blocked 3 of his shots) in the last 00:52 while Jimmer buried 6 consecutive foul shots for the win.

ROSE: 24 Pts, 6 Asst, 3 Steals, Zero Turnovers
THE ERASER: 32PTS; 14 REBS, 1 ASST, 4 BLKS
KINGS 89; BULLS 81

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Instead of playing my Center; I spent the last 24-48 manipulating the Draft Showcase and creating new players. I now have made a big ball of confusion.

The highights and low lights:

PG - Shooting - Jazz - 6-5/207 - Draft glitch neutral and a team that needs a "Star"
SG - Athletic- Wizards - 6-5/217 - From the bottom to the top?
SG - Shooting - Pacers - 6-6/207 - Draft glitch neutral and a team that just needs another young "good" player
SG - Shooting - Warriors - 6-6/217 - A total mess here, they already have Monta Ellis (83) and they draft me (62) and Klay Thompson (65).

Leaning towards playing the GS Warriors my player 5 games, then asking for a trade, that should land me somewhere @ 11 games that actually needs a SG before he becomes a Starter. Potential Trade: Nets or Magic...Raptors, T-Wolves, Suns (not Draft glitch neutral)

This has turned into a NIGHTMARE!!!

Instead of starting a reasonable challenge, MY GREED FOR SKILL POINTS (11th pick overall) takes over and I decide to try and AGAIN manipulate the game.

I followed my plan and played SG-Warriors 5 games (minimum) and asked for a trade to the Nets, Wizards or the Magic

Warriors: Monta Ellis (Ovr: 83; has a 4 yr contract); Interested teams:Celtics and Kings

So I took my lumps (booing) and at the 10th game management comes back to me and says they were UNABLE to make a trade at this time! Game 11; I am now the Starter over Ellis and the only team interested in my services is the Cavs. On top of all that while creating the "trade" file for this exercise I SAVED OVER the Wizards file I already created!!!

Sorry for my Rant, you would think after specifically telling the Warriors I was un-interested in playing Small Forward they would have passed on me? And yes, I spent most of my time on the floor guarding Small and POWER forwards @ 6-6, because Ellis (6-3) is small for a SG!!!

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Since my SF only has 2 key games in season, I will continue playing it in a few hours. I am not sure if I want to stay with 76ers. Not because of draft glitch, but because of players in rotation. With our record, we wouldve been in top 5 in draft and with the lottery pick, we couldve have been given the #1 pick. If we draft a frountcourt player, I will stay. If we draft a backcourt player, I will leave no question. We NEED a PF. I am tired of getting exploited by Amare and other PFs. If I knew I was going to play alot of PF, I wouldve made him taller. Plus, 76ers are good at the wing positions.
This season I focused on certain areas of offense. next year I will focus on Vertical, Consistency, and Defense.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I had my first win as a Grizzly against the Pistons. Randolph was going off the whole game and I believe he scored 36 or 38 points. I had another double double and hit my first career three I finally got it up to a 70 after spending a lot of skill points into it. The only downside from that game is the 6 turnovers I ended up with, at least 4 of which were undeserving. I love playing for Memphis but I don't know how to get Rudy Gay involved in our offense. I play with run plays on and almost none are for him. Should I specifically call plays for him? By the way I got an endorsement for 2K Sports magazine which is pretty cool.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I signed with another team (Clippers), but they are still using the playbook from my old team (Sixers). Plays are being ran for Blake Griffin to shoot threes and other plays that worked for Sixers but just don't work for the Clippers.

How do I make the correct playbook for my new team show up?

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Made a 6'6 Athletic PG.

14 points, 6 assists, and 3 boards + A- rating in the Rookie Showcase. Had great interviews (or so I thought) with the Suns, Rockets, and 76ers.

Ended up getting taken by the 76ers at #16...

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I ended my final key game of the season with 24 pts, 2 rebs, assists, and steals. I am finding more ways to get into scoring positions.
I wasnt sure what was my rookie avgs were, but I think it was 8 pts, 5 rebs, and 31% shooting.
We drafted a SG with the 1st pick and didnt pick up a PF, so that means I will ask for a trade. I wont leave so soon. I dont have a key game until the middle of 2nd month. So, I will do all those drills then ask for a trade.
I just bought Tony Parkers Layup.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

finaly had a good game in my player mode. I have found the player i like best is SG scoring. I made my own Michael Jordan Jr. lol. Made him look just like MJ with the same height and weight. I used the my player request thread for making him.. looks really good.

Anyways, through 6 games I am leading rookies in scoring with 22.8 PPG 2 RPG and 1.3 APG. I am on the 76ers.. i don't know why but whenever i pass it to the post or iggy they always miss but when the other players pass to them they hit it more often.. pretty annoying. But I am top 10 in SG's for PPG, FG%, and 3 pt%. I had my best game in the last one even though it was a losing effort to the clippers. MJJR when for 45 pts.. 78% from the field, 3 rebounds, 2 assists. ended up losing by 6... his step back jumper was literally unstoppable in the 2nd quarter getting 26 of his 45 in the 2nd alone.

Hopefully I will get the starting position soon.

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

I won Player of Game for the 1st time with my SF in one of my last few "Audition Games". I requested a trade to the Magic right before this game. I had my career high in points and minutes. I had 29 pts in 30 mins.
I got On-Ball D to 84.

[illwill10]

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

In probably my last games as 76er, I probably had the best game I will have in a career in a win over #1 Celtics. I had 49 pts(75%), 10 rbs, 1 steal off the bench. I only shot 26 times, I was 11-13 from FT. I didnt care about not getting 50. I didnt get the 10th reb until right before I got subbed out. I got 11200+ XP for that game. I will save up to get EuroStep Layup to Good.
I got traded to Magic for a 1st round and Orton. Last 2 key games with 76ers was Boston and 1st key game with Magic was against Boston. I am tired of facing Boston. We loss. I had 23 pts.
I became the starter in time for a tough matchup against Bulls. Since Hedo, isnt rated high, I took his job.
I got Eurostep Layup to Good, maxed On Ball D, and got Steal to 73. I will max Steal at 90, then max Vertical and Consistency to 90. I will work on Consistency because when I want to add a jumper to my offense, it will be a easier transition. I got Speed to 82, Quickness to 84, Layup to 84, Stamina in upper 70s, Ball Security to 81(maybe82) using dribble course. After Steal, Vertical, and Consistency, I am free to boost any rating I want. Playing for Magic changed the way how I was going to boost my player. Since I wont play the 4 spot much, I dont have to boost Strength anymore. So, Ill probably boost Shot Med to expand my offense and Off/Def awar for better stats. I do want a add a jumper to my game because I currently HAVE to be driving or near the bucket score. After those, there isnt anything I would have to boost. I want to boost some of my abilities. Mainly dribble abilities. Not post because if anything I wont start developing a post game until 4th or 5th year. I think I only have 1 career milestone I think I can get before end of next season, which is 1000 career rebs.
I think I will stay with Magic as long as Dwight is there. Ive been wanting to play with him as a teammate in MP. I really like being here instead of Philly because dont have to deal with #1 picks EVERY year and I dont have to PF. I didnt play PF AT ALL in my 1st game with Magic compared to mostly playing PF with 76ers. We were actually playing well together towards the end, but lack of depth in the frontcourt and losing Hawes to a injury sealed the deal. With Magic, I will be a wing player 90+ of the time. If Hedo and Anderson comes in I will move down to SG, but will play the wing exclusively.

I will continue with my PF, since I will almost at the point where my SF less then a season(5-6+ key games) behind my PF and almost comfortable with him since he is the starter and no milestones and no ratings that will make a huge difference in game(besides Steal, Vertical, and Consistency). I will be fully comfortable with him, until he has a consistent jumper. I think my PF isnt too far from contract

Re: Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

Finally started one. 6'5" scoring SF. Drafted by Pacers. Promptly got the starting spot over Granger. Predictably, team starts losing. I started running plays and playing in the offense, but if something stupid starts happening I'll call for the ball and usually try to move it to Granger, Hibbert, or West. I nail threes off the screen, which is really fun. We've started winning again after the all star break. Beat the Heat in Miami, I D'd up LeBron, season highlight for sure. Still 8 games under 500, trying to make a playoff run.

Started at 63, up to 69. Most investment into consistency, shooting, passing, and on-ball D.

Just trying to be part of a winning team. Seems like when I try to score a lot, we lose, which is predictable since I am after all rated lowest of the starters. So I've been moving it around, finding my spots, ding up hard, trying to spark on transition when I can. Having a lot of fun with it. Dudes name is Milos Flowers, which is awesome. He has a gothic D tatoo on his neck.

What's your Dunk and Strength? I notice in your screens you have a lot of contact dunks. Unfortunately, my SF will only do layups with a dunk once every three games.
