Official NBA 2K12 My Player Thread

[funkworthy]

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.

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

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.

A question that's probably been answered lots of times. Do you have plays turned on or off?

I had them on for my first season and we got to the playoffs but I wasn't getting many points. I then turned them off, I got much better team mate grades from all the screens I set and scored more points but we play worse because I call for the ball too much and it gets turned over.

I suppose I should turn them off and play more patiently but now I'm rated 76 will I get the ball more with the plays on?

Thanks

80 Dunk and havent touched Strength.
I think it is because I do EuroStep Dunks. When I do those type of dunks it happens 2-3 times a game

Forgive me. I'm new to the world of NBA 2k, but what is a EuroStep dunk? Is that like the layup, but holding turbo instead of ISO? I didn't realize the dunks could be modified beyond what is shown in training.

I made Len Bias as my player. If you dont know who Len Bias is you should look him up. Long story short he died 2 days after he was drafted #2 by Boston, never got to play in the NBA. He was like a bigger, stronger, faster Jordan.

In the middle of my third year with 6ers, just took the starting job from Andre Iguodala. My best game so far is 36 pts, 11 reb, 9 ast, 6 stl, 2 blk.
Id like to get a trade to the Celtics since thats where he would have most likely played most of his career but we'll see. Current rating is mid 70's.

So my 6'9 SF Finally got the starting job in Golden State. Ellis went down with an injury so I got bumped to the starting SG spot.

Debut at started 31 pts, 6 rebounds, and hit the game winning shot.

I dont like playing the guard with my player because It keeps my rebound totals low.

I have run plays on and if I don't like what I see I call my own play.

So I finally bought Rondo's layup package and I don't know how to use it in-game? Any help please? I would really appreciate if someone told me.
