Multiplat NBA 2k12

[Mitchell Madness]

yeah, i play pf/c and am always getting called for goal tending.

i wish the system was smart enough that your player only grabbed the ball if it is out of the cyclinder.

Disagree on the not grabbing it at all, but it needs to be smart enough to realise when it's not in the cylinder

Got drafted to the Bucks as a SG, played first game just then in season proper only as a PG, so far it's a lot easier to play the actual season games than the preseason / draft trials i've found.

 

[Deddy]

My Sac Kings association roster is as follows.

PG: Darren Collison
SG: Paul George
SF: Thaddeous Young
PF: J.J Hickson
C: Demarcus Cousins
6th: Jason Terry
Klay Thompson
Epke Udoh
Jordan Hill
Earl Boykins


We are currently 2-2.

6 games in, gone from a C- to a steady B, suddenly up pops Miami Heat are interested me for a trade... Hard choice, i have zero chance of pushing Wade out of being the starting SG, but in current season they're sitting undefeated.

 

[Childish Gambino]

Do you guys use the control stick to shoot or just use the shoot button (square)?

 

[Drummer_19]

Shot stick for sure. It can take a bit of getting used to but its infinitely better to use since its paramount to doing the advanced moves.

 

[Shade]

Yea shot stick for sure, tried square before and can never time any shots correctly with it.

 

[zimma]

I use square at the moment since well coming from a older game first i can time it perfect 9/10 with a button, switch to the stick and i end up with a 0% shooting percentage... Just can't consistently nail shots with the stick.

 

[Drummer_19]

I was a square guy upto 2k11, can't imagine ever using square again after switching. Just feels so stiff compared to the shot stick.

 

[zimma]

Did a pickup game as LA, will say the shot stick seems a lot easier to manage when you're using kobe instead of a 49 overall SG.

thats what i meant...

 

[Childish Gambino]

Cheers, I've give the shot stick a go.

You'd be surprised, the AI is very generous to the user player. I pushed out Iguodala who had a rating about 20 points higher than me.

Shoot button except for layups and dunks. I only play PC games, so I'm not as used to the stick as most players.

 

[LionMen]

AI in the last quarter is so bloody annoying i was up by 8 with about 2 minutes left with sacramento against Atlanta 56-48 and then somehow every shot they took managed to go in for a 3 pointer... four 3 pointers in a row and all my shots were just rolling around the ring or bouncing off. 2 agonisingly frustrating minutes later and i lose 58-60. Is the AI programmed to do that?

 

[mrbewbs]

Yeah its called Rubberband AI, gets worse the higher up you go in difficulty apparently. Were you contesting the shots?

.

Yeah I'm 12 games in and already pushed Salmons out of the starting SG slot at the bucks, so far top scoring everygame, yet the commentators keep saying "no real threat of being a top scorer but has a hand in every offensive play" or something along those lines lol...

Got a bit bored so made a 7'2 center for my player, my god that position is easy in my player after a SG, averaging a B and would be higher if i didn't get stuck at Washington. Honestly so sick of getting turnovers when team mates pass it to my feet / back of head, or worst i've had is getting boxed in the key by my own team mates. Few times i've actually yelled at the tv for that one, ruined my A+ game

 

[LionMen]

Yeah i was contesting, but that explains it, it sort of makes for some nailbiting contests late in the games, it just really frustrates when your on the wrong end of it.

 

[ROSEMVP]

I love the create a legend mode

LBJ is a beast on it.
Played with Kobe for awhile went off for 61 in one game.

 

[zimma]

My god Washington would have to be just about the worst team possible to get drafted to...

 

[silverscope]

I don't know.. Toronto and the Bobcats are right up there with the worst destinations.

 

[Deddy]

Going to Utah is good. Decent side, and you get a decent salary. We are currently 14-12.

I'm averaging a nice 23ppg, 3.5rpg and 5apg. Got the western conference player of the week as well.

 

[zimma]

Yeah, I managed to finally get to being the 6, pulled off 2 consecutive double doubles to help knock off Houston and the Cavs, getting played at pf a lot though. Most frustrating thing I'm having now is when rubbish shots keep going for 3s when I'm on the edge of the key. Still will probably go for a trade to Knicks or heat, both have rubbish centers but strong in other spots

 

[ROSEMVP]

Do you guys play every game or just Key Games

i only play Key Games. Also CP3 always seems to go to Charlotte for some reason

I play every game, 5 min qtrs.

CP3 was traded to my team, Cleveland, in my game. He's helped us out a lot but I still think the team should be performing better than it is.

We are rated 89 overall as a team which is equal third and yet we are down the bottom end of the conference. I've gotta think it's me but when I check my performance after each game, I seem to be breaking even or slightly edging out or losing to my direct opponents.

Since CP3 arrived and Kyrie Irving was moved to starter at SG in place of Ramon Sessions, my team has improved but we seem to always lose by only a few points. The team is fairly young I suppose so maybe it's that...

PG: CP3 - 28yo - 93 overall
SG: Kyrie Irving - 21yo - 83 overall
SF: Rashard Lewis - 34yo - 71 overall
PF: Me - 23yo - 81 overall
C: Stacey Eisley - 24yo - 77 overall

Finally finished my 82 game, 8 minute quarter season.

Finished 6th, copped Bulls in playoffs, beat them 4-2. Then lost 4-3 to Celtics to end the season.

Picked up Felton to make my starting five:

Felton
JR Smith
Melo
Amare
Chandler

I have very little depth but a great starting 5. Got offered pick 1 and Maggette for Melo and nearly accepted, decided against it last minute. Didn't help that it was my first draft and I had no idea what a pick was worth. Probably should have done it in the end because my lack of defence (team, not me personally) is what cost me against Boston.
