My player: play all games or sim?

[pats3553]

Do you play all the games in My Player? How much do you lose by simming and only playing key games?

I'm gonna play every game in my first 2 seasons JUST so I can ask fo the max deal when my rookie contract is up...I'm gonna lead the league in scoring, steals, and have plenty of awards to back up my asking price....

Right now I'm just playing key games. Just trying to get all the achievements first. then hopefully when 2k fixes the the terrible trade logic, I will make a new my player and play every game.

People who play key games only, seem to have horrible trades... Same when someone gets injured. It seems like when there is some sort of "Simming" involved in the game, the game just goes ape nuts crazy...

I play all of my games. Been doing that since the first time My player came out... I haven't had any bad trades... I dont know who we traded off to get Tim Duncan (Bobcats)... But that and a few other trades were made around the league in my 20+ games so far...

I feel that like the OP said, its more important to play every game your first two years. And since the game is gonna be here for a year, I like to stretch my time out playing it. It might take me like 2 months to complete my first two seasons, but I will come out of my rookie and sophomore year BEASTING. And I can get the ULTIMATE asking price.

I play the key games and a handful of non-key games. With 12 minute quarters that's all I can really do...

I'm gonna play all the games, just like I did last year. At least for the first season anyways. I like the feeling of playing the whole season and building the emotion of putting the time and effort into winning.

The main thing that can help help you and not force you to play all games is boosting your Overall. By boosting your Off and Def Awareness. My full attention was to play all games in my Rookie Contract. But, I play 12 min Qs and it takes a hour to play.Before the end of season(in mid 2nd year), I plan on boosting Off and Def Awareness. So, I can probably boost OVR to about 80+ before end of year because I am comfortable with my ratings right now.

Yep that's what I'm doing too except I play 10 min quarters. Right now I'm leading the league in points and 3PM (LOL @ this though. I'll probably break Ray Allen's record by the ASG) I got injured so I'm like 14th in steals, but I'm confident I can get top 10. I'm going for that milestone too. Still though I don't know how contract negotiations go yet, but I'd imagine they do have something to do with OVR.... still though I made the ASG my first year in the league in the mid 70's so maybe they changed this as there was no way that would have happened the last couple years.. I'll look later, but from memory the MVP race/All Star votes may be based on metric stats (Which would make FAAAAAAR more sense than what usually happens where the guy with the highest OVR just happens to win almost every year_
