NBA 2K12: My Player Mode

[Rake2204]

I was asked about teammates crying after a loss t othe Wizards. My answer ended in "Real talk..."

I nodded in support.

Haha, good stuff.

[Clippersfan86]

only thing i dislike is that the team i got drafted too loves trading

was drafted pg of the raptors.. so i was thinking ok.. me, derozan, ed davis

but then they all get traded.. they all got traded to different teams, got harden and nazr from okc.. and got udoh from gsw. so completely different team cuz of our trigger happy gm.

but me and harden.. BAWSE

Haha yea Harden is with me on Sixers now too. I agree the GM's are WAY too trade happy. Usually they are neutral or beneficial but still! I hate having new teammates every 10 games. It's unrealistic.

[Clippersfan86]

Man I'm having more fun than ever. I demanded a trade and ended up on Nuggets with my boy James Harden. Nuggets built up a nice young core (different core).

It's


Louis Williams
James Harden
Tayshawn Prince
Darrell Arthur
Michael King (me)

Spencer Hawes still has my starting job but I typically play all game anyways... so I'm sure I'll get the spot soon. I'm happy that Nene immediately was traded to make way for me. I also love how Denver loves fastbreaks and post dumps. Perfect system for me to thrive. 5 game winning streak since I arrived. Love playing with Arthur in the post. He's a scrappy defender, grabs my missed shots and finishes strong inside. For whatever reason he gets like 2-3 tip dunks a game off my misses.

I'm struggling a lot on the boards. I'm great at boxing out and getting position but the jump timing from 2K11 to 2K12 is way different. I often jump way too early. If I timed my jumps better I'd get 10+ boards every game... but I end up getting 5 ish every game instead. Simulated games have me at an 8 rpg average.

DAMN. I just spun off Batum in the post and had a nasty 2 handed contact flush over Aldridge. I feel bad for Aldridge after that.

A huge key is matchups. I'm noticing though that just because you post a smaller guy doesn't mean it's easy. Quick handed defenders like Gerald Wallace keep knocking the ball out of my post attempts and forcing me to rack up turnovers. It's all a strategy. I love it because it's not simple and mindless like 2K11.

It's funny though when my 7 ft 300 pound center gets Earl Boykins in the post.

[Clippersfan86]

Man the team has a REALLY bad habit of benching me with like 1-2 minutes left in games and costing me games. I get us in a tie game at the end of the 4th quarter or get us momentum back.. then get benched at the worst times .

Wow the trades that are made in my season are insane. JR Smith for Ginobili, Duncan AND a pick for Brand and Nocioni, Josh Smith and Zaza for Devin Harris and Okur (cuz apparently Utah needs another PF), Marreese Speights and Antonio Daniels for Marc Gasol, Aaron Brooks for Paul George and pick, Childress for Jack and pick, Derozan and Bayless for Love, Gortat and pick for Hansborough and Jones, Baron Davis for Blatche, Brandon Roy for Larry Sanders and Udrih, Tony Parker for Collison, Rudy Gay for Nash, Dudley and Hill for Udoh and some others.

They really need to wind down the amount of big names being moved and make it so teams stop taking redundant talent. And I play for the Suns and we keep making horrible moves, they trade away the two PGs (Nash and Brooks) and bring in Chalmers so we can split the minutes at PG, they trade away our two bigs (Lopez and Gortat), and the coaches rotations blow.

my player is so much easier this year. last year i got destroyed in my player mode, could barely make it out of the d-league.

this time i made a 6'4" 3pt specialist pg. I ended up getting drafted by the thunder, who made me come off the bench behind westbrook and harden for the first half of the season. then i started playing only key games and the team went on like a 15 game win streak on sim mode. at some point the thunder also traded away westbrook and harden for d rose, which seems strange obviously chicago would never trade away rose. i started putting up big numbers on the last few key games of the season vs the blazers and warriors. ended up getting rookie of the year and sixth man of the year as well as rookie first team.

just now finished my first two playoff games vs the lakers. i got moved to starter for the first game of the playoffs, so the starting lineup is me, drose, durant, collison, okafor. First game i put up 46 points, second one 35, thanks to jacking up tons of 3s. I cant make a layup unless there is no defender within 15 feet but i make it rain from outside.

I think you're the first person I've heard to go to the d-league in 2k11. 2k10 is a different story but 2k11?!

Seriously. I didnt even know they had Dleague in 2k11. Did they?

[ballup]

Seriously. I didnt even know they had Dleague in 2k11. Did they?

I heard that some people's my players were stuck in the dleague in 2k11 no matter what stats they put up there.

I find it hard to unintentionally get drafted in the 2nd round, let alone the dleague, and I'm not even good at this game.

Yup. It's my only real complaint. Bad trades and nonstop trades. Not to mention the poor rotations. I'll be the reason we are in a game yet I get benched with 1-2 minutes to go every game.. and we lose 80 percent of them. My stamina isn't low so I don't get it!

Another hilarious post game interview for you guys.

"You guys got the clutch win with great 4th quarter play. What gave you that confidence?"


"I was feeling confident the entire time. I knew that if they got close enough, I'd just drop another dagger on them. These are the kind of situations I thrive in man. But we sucked it up and got it done. I didn't even have to hit the buzzer beater like I'm sure many of you were hoping I would. There'll be plenty of chances for that moving forward. For now, we'll just take the win."




BTW guys found another trick. Since your simmed games account for most of your averaged stats anyways when you don't want to play key games.. intentionally start fouling a lot and you'll get benched. Basically you can sim entire season this way. So I don't lose skill points... what I'll do is on offense I'll try to score... but then on defense intentionally foul.

[Fiasco]

Much better My Player mode. My only real complaint: I got drafted by the ****ing Pistons.

Possibly because out of the Bucks, Wizards, and Pistons (teams that interviewed me), they were the team I pissed off the least.

[Clippersfan86]

More info for you guys. In season 1 I only had 9 key games. Season 2 15 key games. Now in season 3 I have 20. It increases as centers around the league emerge as high caliber centers. Now I have to play all Al Horford, Joakin Noah, Brook Lopez and Roy Hibbert games in addition to my 2 team rivals and Dwight Howard. I prefered it at 9 games... vs 20... because I want to hurry and get to end of season 3 and sign a 5 year deal. So I can buy more skill points.

[G-train]

6'9 athletic small forward, Bo.

Dropped 26/8/5/3 steals in draft game, despite going 0/0/0 after a quarter, just couldn't get in the flow.
Interviewed strongly for the bobcats as I wanted to take a nothing team to the top over my career, and they duly drafted me at 8.

Will start playing game tomorrow, hopefully I can get mins immediately.

So there is no simmin games like 2k11?
