He's a moron in the sense that the video posted made his point in about 30 seconds, not the 6:30 listed.

I have 2k11 cause I'm cheap when it comes to video games, but reading this thread makes me wanna pick up 2k12. It appears that a ton of work was done for "My Player". I thought the differences between the two would be minimal, a la the differences between different madden or ncaa games. I guess that just shows why 2k sports > EA sports

3/6/2012 12:52:44 AM

they basically added some bells and whistles for 2K12's MyPlayer

the biggest negative difference in 2K12 compared to 2K11 MyPlayer is that you can no longer do the Online Team Up mode. Getting in a 5 on 5 game with your MyPlayer and 9 other humans was great, I guess they took that out of 2K12 to avoid the people who glitched their players to 99. Although they also want you to buy the DLC which adds some of that ability back.

Playing with a center is easy mode

Never sniffed an A+ grade with my SF, but my center had one in the second quarter of the rookie game

My Warriors scored 45 in the first quarter of my second game

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 9:57 AM. Reason : eight minute quarters]

3/6/2012 9:56:53 AM

i created a PF but i cant score with him at all. his inside scoring is at 80 but i cant hit a shot. i'll finish a game with 2 pts, 10 rebs, A- teammate grade but only get a few hundred skill points cause my performance was poor.

3/6/2012 11:22:05 AM

post up and pump fake, you should be able to score that way until you can increase ratings.

3/6/2012 11:24:41 AM

Invest in the post spin, post drive, and post hook abilities.

Then when posting up, spin out of it towards the other sideline so that you cross the paint.

Push the shot stick in the direction you are traveling and you will throw up a hook shot. This is my signature shot with my center (besides the 16 footer I hit constantly but that's not really "signature").

"Invest in the post spin, post drive, and post hook abilities."

these are all kind of expensive until you get a couple seasons in, assuming you spend most of your skill points on boosting actual skills like rebounding, passing, vertical, etc etc

the Spin Dunk (or layup) is pretty effective at at least drawing fouls...drive to the basket, hold turbo and rotate the shot stick 360 degrees...you'll do a spin move on the ground, and either dunk it afterwards, lay it in, occasionally miss, or sometimes get fouled. You can also let go of the stick right before you start the shot and be right under the basket without getting called for a travel...then you can pump fake to a layup, or pass to an open teammate...that move is pretty unfair if your My Player is tall and has decent Strength

"DLC?"

yeah the Legends Showcase downloadable content...i don't have it, but based on the achievements like "beat Michael Jordan in a game of 1-on-1 with your MyPlayer" it adds some additional stuff

3/6/2012 5:39:21 PM

^yeah i don't have that add-on either, i refuse to pay $10 more on a game i already paid $60.

3/7/2012 9:41:46 AM

I got some free points from MS the other day, thought about using them for that DLC

3/7/2012 9:59:44 AM

I think my Center is up to either a 90 or 91 overall, 2nd best center behind Dwight, 8th best player in the league

once I get my Shot Inside and Shot Close up to 99 I wonder if I should start working on my 3-point shot

3/7/2012 4:29:44 PM

i'm at 91 right now...improvement has been very slow since i hit 90

i think now i have to invest in abilities to make ratings jump faster

3/7/2012 4:44:12 PM

when i go to my 3 graphs, i'm a 99 in defense and 99 in rebounding (even though my offensive rebounding is in the low 80s) and 80-something in offense

if you havent done so already, max out offensive awareness and defensive awareness...they'll help your overall rating regardless

also if its a key game and i know i'm gonna get double SP, i'll gladly restart the game a couple times until the 2 goals are reasonable...A+ teammate grade is simple, but I'd rather have "score 6 buckets from post moves" or "prevent your matchup from getting more than 6 assists" than something like "get at least 13 defensive rebounds" or something else thats gonna be a pain

3/7/2012 5:06:22 PM

Hit my first game winner. Wild back and forth game with the Bulls. My SF nails a 3 in transition with 50 seconds left to cut it to 1. We make the stop and on the next possession I get the ball with under 5 on the clock, Horner-fake Deng and hit a 20-footer from the wing as the buzzer sounds. The crowd goes wild, I get a handy from Doris Burke at half court. I love groove, Kevin!

3/7/2012 9:24:24 PM

Yeah, I bet you did a Tiger Woods fist pump in real life and then jerked off about it into a Wigwam sock, didn't you

3/7/2012 10:35:44 PM

went triple OT with my friend last night. in the 3rd one I was down by six with 30 seconds left and won that shit. i don't remember exactly how. but SWAG

took a brief break from MyPlayer to play some of the Legend challenges or whatever...I unlocked the Hornets when I first got the game, but I'm on the 5th one right now...Kareem is beasting Chief

3/8/2012 10:37:23 AM

JCE2011

All we need now is StateCole and some ferrets and that FAT FUCK MAYHORN we'll be good to go

3/11/2012 11:24:54 AM

just finished my first contract. 94 overall, #1 center in the league. and all the offers were 4-5 years, $18-20 million. why don't i get top player money?

3/11/2012 4:02:49 PM

Just had the all star glitch happen for like the 4th time, still on the bench of the all star game but got 47 points in like 14 minutes so its all good. Still on the bench for the LOLcats

wierd glitch though, it let me simulate every game after that, it took every "key game" off the calendar and let me sim through it. Down side is I am still on the bench in the playoffs.

EPIC GLITCH, it only counts the New Orleans vs Bobcats "rivalry game" as a key game. I am going to simulate until I am 50 years old.

^^ Bro are you gonna get 2k12 or should i get 2k11 for cheap?

[Edited on March 11, 2012 at 6:10 PM. Reason : lawl glitch]

3/11/2012 5:44:54 PM

^^i noticed that although i signed for 5 years $20 million, my actual contract is 5 years $70 million. i don't understand.

3/12/2012 10:44:10 AM

finally just got my 10th steal of the game to get that challenge

now with 5:37 left in the 4th, i have a new dynamic goal, "Break the team record in steals"

i hope i only have to get one more

3/12/2012 7:13:53 PM

Scott Wood My Player is boring as shit

3/12/2012 7:57:25 PM

console froze during save, had to manually reset

Manute is gone forever

god dammit

3/13/2012 2:05:40 AM

Defensive Center did have some limitations

I think maybe I'll go athletic center and make Vandenberg

3/13/2012 2:48:39 PM

Through three games with the Bobcats, Wood has played at all 5 positions, including some time at center against Dwight Howard. Virtual Scott Wood is the slowest human ever.

3/13/2012 2:55:32 PM

damn, your initial speed with a Defensive Center is 30, with an Athletic Center its 60

3/13/2012 3:06:52 PM

Athletic is the type I chose. able to do a little bit of everything except pass and play low post D effectively.

3/13/2012 3:50:17 PM

i can actually run the court now, its crazy

3/13/2012 3:59:27 PM

I almost always pick athletic, as those attributes cost the most. Not sure if it affects tendencies though

3/13/2012 4:27:54 PM

i did All-around. my rebounding is low 70s, but the pg comes down with it if we both jump for it at the same time. i am at least slowly figuring out how to score. i had 15pts in a game once, so i'm kind of a big deal.

3/13/2012 4:46:26 PM

If you want easy jumpshots and have maxed the shooting abilities...

Go to my player, edit, signature moves, outside momentum:

Bowed, Normal, Normal 4

With that shot you get way more space doing a moving fadeaway jumper, can get A shots off from 3 at anytime, A+ from mid range if you use it right. I was trying other shot forms and noticed most dont separate form the defender at all and the shot quality suffers

3/13/2012 6:42:24 PM

TBDV makes his presence felt in his 2nd career game

3/13/2012 7:35:17 PM

^hahahahah tbdv, RIP

3/14/2012 12:03:35 AM

^^haha did he crush his tailbone?

MyPlayer up to 98 overall. i think i played drunk a few times and had no idea i went from 94 to 98. i am now the highest rated player in the league. suck it Lebron!

3/14/2012 10:17:09 AM

I, too, played the Bucks last night with big-ass center

Earl Boykins kept trying to defend me in the post

This game is weird sometimes

3/14/2012 11:04:00 AM

yeah that happens to me in almost every game. for stretches of the game, i'll be guarded by the other team's PG. makes for easy alley-oops and post scores.

3/14/2012 2:04:34 PM

is it possible to play in the Rookie/Sophomore game? seems like with every character I've gotten into February, I'm one of the top rookies in the league, yet don't get invited to play in the Rookie/Sophomore game, same thing in my 2nd season on the other team

3/14/2012 4:17:19 PM

^I never got into it either i don't think its possible

Scored 75 points IN ONE HALF, then my coach gives me limited minutes and I only get to 111

3/16/2012 10:45:19 AM

do you get 2x multiplier to skill points towards milestones in key games or just in-game stuff like challenges?

3/19/2012 8:40:03 PM

In game challenges only. You got double milestone rewards in key game last year but not this year.

3/19/2012 9:01:07 PM

oh snap, Vandenburg made the all star team as a rookie, and right before the All Star Break here's what the reporter asked me in the post-Heat game press conference:

Quote :

"As this game was ending, the selection committee released the rosters for the upcoming Rookie-Sophomore game at All-Star Weekend. Your excellent play has been recognized, having earned a spot on the roster. Your thoughts?"

3/20/2012 5:42:25 PM

these things take like an hour to show up on youtube

3/20/2012 6:52:25 PM

what's his body count at now?

3/20/2012 8:46:57 PM

3

after he sees them wincing in pain, he tells them "I'm the landlord, and you've just been evicted"

3/20/2012 8:57:52 PM

I maxed out Ball Security, Off Hand Dribbling, Durability, Stamina and Layup, so now when I do the Dribble Challenge I'm guaranteed of getting a boost to either Speed or Quickness

3/21/2012 6:32:15 PM

^JCE^

Probably gonna stick with 2k11... But that mode where you play myplayer against other people is sick. Same with the jordan challenges. But its weird to have the old rosters (no rubio, cp3 on the hornets, ect)

What's the most ya'll have played in myplayer? As in, how many seasons? I'm ending season one now but I only play with 5 min quarters to save time.

3/24/2012 9:09:15 PM

yea the team up mode is legit but the 2k servers were/are shit. got disconnected each game i tried. Im on my 6th season, started 15 min quarters this season. took a shit on wilts 50 ppg record so i will 5 min quarter now. next allstar glitch i am simming from the bench and will only have to play 10 games a season... but bench sim stats will suck.
