Since everyone seems to be posting their exploits, I figured I'd share mine.

Made a 3pt specialist PG and I'm about 30 games into the season.

Got drafted #12 by the Jazz. Did crap my first game. Had a much better 2nd game. Something like 7 points, couple assists, and a rebound.

Struggled shooting for all of the first month (like 30% each game, though mid to upper 30s from 3), but still managed to beat Devin Harris for the starting spot because he sucked. Eventually I got tired of losing with the Jazz, so I requested a trade to the Bulls, Lakers, or Celtics. Yeah...

Beasted my last couple games with the Jazz getting around 22 points, 7 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 3 or so boards both wins. Then got traded to the Bulls in the most ridiculous trade I've ever seen thus far in the game. Me and Devin Harris for Noah and Gibson. So now the Bulls have like 6 PGs and no frontcourt and the Jazz have no PG and a ridiculously good frontcourt. Despite all that, we've managed to win I think 7 of our last 10. We're starting to lose a couple close games though. Lost to the Kings and Pacers due to DRose missing some game winners. Oh well...still 2nd in the conference behind the Heat (they're so OP in this game...and they traded Chalmers for Gortat so they have a legit center now as well)

Right now getting about 41 minutes per game with the Bulls and for some reason starting ahead of Rose (I can't fathom why they would do that), however we close out games together (it's who closes the game that matters?).

Averaging about 14 ppg 3 rpg and 5ish apg and almost a block and a steal. Shooting percentage is gradually increasing, right now at about 39% but my 3pt shot fell off a cliff somewhere and is only at about 32%. Lately though, I've been shooting over 50% and at least 30% from 3.

Does anyone know an effective way to draw fouls? It seems like I keep getting mugged at the rim on some drives.

i hate that rookie showcase thing because even if you play great you dont get picked that high

I saw someone get picked like 6th overall I think. I'm not sure if anyone has gotten into the top 5.

 

[Uman85]

I hate playing for the Suns. Aaron Brooks is a ballhog.

To box out hold the L2 button on PS3 or LT on 360 I think. Free throws...hold down the right stick and release it at the "proper" time. Go practice free throws somewhere to get an idea of how it works. Each player has a unique release so you have to kind of figure it out for yourself when to release.

my rebounding is improving

still cant hit those FTs though

my guy cracked the starting lineup:yeah:

Up your free throw rating. xD

Free throws are actually starting to frustrate me a little as well. Early in the season I could get a early or late (like 65% either way) and make the free throw. Now my rating is higher and those same results are mostly misses now. Needz moar practice...

Gotta up my steal as well. Those entry passes into the post are easy pickings...

just got this game

What position is your guys' My Player?

 

[DCguy]

PG out of Georgetown, drafted number 10 to the Utah Jazz.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

PG is the easiest imo, you get the ball the most and you dont have to rebound as much

 

[Crystallas]

I'm weary of starting another MyPlayer. I was close to finishing my career on 2k11.... and then 2k12 came out!

I REALLY hope that they release a transition in future releases, so you can just pick-up where you left off. Like import 2k12 files to work on 2k13. Most of it is just statistical information and create-a-player sliders anyways.

for me..i liked it because i hadnt gotten an nba game since 08....so i liked this new mode but i agree with you..i like the interaction with the interviews and stuff but besides that its basically drills,games,and stats

(though i havent gotten out of my rookie season yet)

 

[Uman85]

I'm going to request a trade. Aaron Brooks is a ballhog on the Suns and never passes the ball. Lol

6'6 PG from Illinois. LOL

Also dropped 33 points and 8 assists last game with 81% shooting. Starting to get the hang of this game a little. Could've had more assists if the opponent AI wasn't so ridiculous with shot blocking. That's probably the most unrealistic part of this game.

You could adjust the CPU sliders. I may have to do that pretty soon myself.

Yeah I'll have to up my teammate's defensive awareness slider as well. I can't tell you how many stupid moves by them have resulted in open 3s. That and the game's constant desire to want some teammate to switch defenders with me in order to make my teammate grade go down frustrate me to no end.

I hear you. Haha

I'm a 5' 11" PG and I always get matched up against a PF or C inside.

Yeah I know right? Nasty pick and rolls and your teammates always wanna switch. I've had to spend a lot of points upping my strength and post defense because I get posted up so much. The one advantage of making my player so tall though is that I don't necessarily need a high vertical or block rating to get blocks. I'm actually leading the team in blocks...but we don't have Noah or Gibson so that doesn't mean anything because Asik barely plays even though he's our only C. Freaking stupid trades...I think they're gonna trade Rose too because I'm a PG. :smh: At least if they trade Harris with him we'll get a good big man if the AI is smart (but I'm not banking on that).
