Multiplat NBA 2k12

[PykeDream]

I've been playing My player and I'm currently half way through my 7th year playing for the Heat, I was playing against GS and I think the game has made their coach President Obama or someone that looks exactly like him.

I requested a trade from the Houston Rockets to the Miami Heat in my rookie year (almost play offs now). I reckon the Heat coach/owner/president/No 1 fan is a dead ringer for Morgan Freeman.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

4th season (playing 12 min quarters, so only 2-3 games per day) at lakers.

was drafted by the suns at 13, im a 191cm SF.

broke steals record (4.2 p/g) 3's in a season, and 3pt% (thanks to a glitch which says I had a 1.5 record instead of .15 ), won MVP

currently in conference final, leading series 2-1 vs OKC.

hopefully get through and win finals MVP, as prior to the season, the lakers decided not to renew my contract, what a mistake that was

should add, the semi-finals were a pain

got the grizzlies, gay and mayo were invincible, ended up winning 4-2, but bloody hell! in the season they were useless, playoffs they were hitting fade-away jumpers front outside 3 in the middle of double teams!

Anyone know if there is a way to increase load times for this on PS3?

Takes about a minute (sometimes more) in all modes to load a match, and I've tried on the 360 and the load times are fine (normally about 15 - 20 seconds).

Im improving. Have gone from bench player to go to guy after averaging 20 points over the last 4 weeks. Pity the rest of the pacers are shit. 6-14 we are sitting. So often ill work us back in the game only to be ignored for 2 minutes whilst clowns like hill and collison take it on themselves to turn a 2 point lead into an & point deficit with turnovers, shit shots and general spudiness. Might ask for a trade

So you mean decrease? It's a bug that was introduced in their first patch. It sucks ass.

 

[JordanWCE]

Oh shit, yeah I meant decrease.

Apparently placing the HDD with a SSD is a really effective way of decreasing load times. Unfortunately that's probably a bit convoluted and I can't think of any other way to decrease load times. You're not alone though - mine takes forever as well. Often freezes during gameplay for 15-20 seconds at a time before it resumes again.

Haha. Sounds familiar.

Asked for a trade for my PG to the Heat in my 2nd season. Problem is at that point I was good enough that they traded me for Chris Bosh and Craig Brackins who is the biggest lliability ever. Stands on the 3 point line when he can't shoot 3's but shoots straight away when he gets the ball and bricks everyone. Maybe made 2 out of 50 attempts. Now we're extremely thin for bigs he gets a fair few mins when swapping with Haslem.

Dont your team eventually ask you about trades? I want him gone. Anyways in my 2nd season rated 80 averaging 23 PPG, 4.5 reb, 6 assists, 1 stl, 0.5 blks. Made all star team and a favorite for MVP. We're 1st in the east. Problem I'm finding atm after playing this for a couple weeks is All Star difficulty is too easy but the next level Superstar is too hard. What do people here play on?

Unbelievable, they still haven't properly updated the rosters.

Does anybody have the same problem as what i am about to describe:

When in my player mode during transition defense and there is a bunch of opposition players gathered at the top of the key and it is telling you to guard lets say ron artest/meta world peace.

And when you run out to guard ron artest/meta world peace it then tells you too guard kobe and then kobe sinks the 3/2 pointer or runs it to the bucket and lays it up or dunks it.

And if you have worked your way up to a decent team mate rating lets say you have a b rating about halfway full towards gaining a b+ rating once it changes who to guard you lose a big chunk of that rating taking you down to c+ about halfway full.

I also have a problem with the way the game words the " allow man to score " even though you try to defend the shot there is a difference between leting your man score which is what the game is stating and just bad defense not maning someone properly or not defending properly.

the later was more of a gripe than a problem, but if anyone else has a problem with this in the game is there a way to counter-act this.

 

[grrofunger]

Pretty standard gareth. I hate my teammates blocking me when i am trying to defend and getting slugged for allowing my man to score

Yes it's quite frustrating. I'll be guarding someone then my teammate sags off a player on the 3 point line and it changes my defensive rotation to him and I have nowhere near enough time to get to them resulting in an easy 3. Best way I found to counter it is just stick to your preset player as much as possible. Ie if a PG the opposite PG. Just run to them most times and your defensive rotation will change to them and stick to them.

The teammate grade is still not perfect. You get punished a lot for the dumb shit your AI teammates actually do which is ironic. Could list so many hilarious things that have happened apparently from my bad play. Just have to put up with it because overall the mode is great.

Thinking of starting a 2nd MP but a big this time. I love the rebounding part of the game and love to rack up rebounds with players in other modes. Was thinking C at first but a 6'11 or 7 foot PF should still be able to dominate at that part of the game while naturally their scoring potential would be better. What do people think is best in this mode, PF or C?

 

[Drummer_19]

If your more offensive minded def go with the PF. I have PG (My main one), sg, sf, and pf my players and it's nice to switch over to one of the others if im getting a bit bored with my pg and will also give me something to continue on with as my main one when I reach the hof with my pg.

 

[RoosterLad]

I'm considering picking up this game today, need a break from FIFA.

If I do get it I will be a PF in MyPlayer, did that last year and it is my preferred role as you can grab plenty of boards as well as have an impact offensively. I'm another that loves rebounding in this game. Few questions though.

What are your AI team mates like? Do they still like to dribble down the shot clock and dish off to you after 23 seconds? Do they ever run decent plays? Last year it seemed the opposition would run a lot of plays while your team was pretty stagnant.

Also what minute quarters do you lads play? I want to be able to have decent size quarters without the season/s dragging on for too long as 82 is a lot of games before you get to playoffs. Are there still crazy trades if you skip forward to key games?

 

[Drummer_19]

The AI team mates are a lot better than 2k11, they'll do some things that make you go "wtf are you doing" but overall compared to last year they are more competent for sure, you can turn off plays if you want to freestyle it and not have to put up with the shitty ai called plays which arent all that great but I still think they are an improvement overall.

I play 9min quarters and only play key games, I think something around 7 - 9 mins gives a good balance where it's not to short where you don't get close to realistic stats but also not to long that it drags along. They patched up that trade glitch, so yeah during the sims you won't come back to a completely diferent line up

 

[RoosterLad]

Sounds good mate, cheers.

Will definitely pick the game up this afternoon.

 

[Macca19]

7 minute quarters, playing every match at the moment.

If you only choose key games, does your player still play the other matches/gain skill points?

Yeah you do get skill points and other things like 100 rebounds in your career etc.

I got drafted by Philly as a PF after telling the Rockets to **** off as they wanted me to play the 3!

Pretty tough going though as we are just outside the playoffs about 50 games in or so.

I have skipped forward playing a bunch of key games but will start to play most games now simply because key games are few and far between.

So far they have been... my NBA debut and Knicks/Boston. Do key games change as you get closer to the Playoffs? Getting sick and tired of playing the same two teams and want to beat up on some of the shitty teams from time to time.

Yeah both are annoying. The allow man to score thing seems pretty erratic. Sometimes ill be in an opponents face and he'll hit some ridiculous shot and you drop half a bar. Other times i'll be non plussed and not even jump to block a shot and ill gain half a bar for 'good shot defence'.

 

[RoosterLad]

I have just stood near an opponent as they have chucked up a last gasp buzzer beater attempt and got 'good shot defence'.

If any of you guys are interesting in joining an Online Association. We have one going on at http://*****************/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=3281 it's a pretty active league and as of right now we have around 15 owners (give or take, cbf turn on my ps3 and check) settings are on Pro, 58 game season, 7 min quarters, we're almost into the playoffs of the first season with around 15ish games to go.

I only played key games in my first season, but have played EVERY game in my second season thus far. I stopped playing a few weeks ago (made it to early March), i'll have a break as i dont want to over play it like i did 2K11. And resume around the same date.
