NBA 2K12

[Maxx]

How do we want to handle signing free agents?

[DYSI]

Should probably make a new thread for the league and all. Took the Nets. (Y)

Now there's a task I can handle!

[HeyThereVelvet]

We'll discuss all the rules regarding trades and FA once the new thread is up

Amazing game, just got it yesterday at EB Games, $34.99 used and no scratches at all. Though I get angry, losing can be really fun sometimes. Big step up from the last 2K game I had (6) and even from playing 2K10. Only gripe I have is the "AI causes intentional fouls when they're losing and there's only a minute left" thing, it bugged me a little in 2K6, but really bugs me here because this game is just tremendous, without a doubt the best sports game I've ever played. Just got done a game with Boston (me) against 76'ers and it was back and forth through every quarter. In the 4th, the scores were 46-46, then 48-46, then it went up to 48-51 and I knew I could've made a 3 with Garnett, but my player intentionally fouled and Jrue Holiday made both freethrows to end it at 48-53

You know under the coaching settings you can put intentional fouls to manual?

[Tyrone]

Wow, thanks a lot I only messed with the NBA rules. Can fix the time outs and subs too.

In the rookie showcase...do I have to play full 7 min quarters? I only wanted to do 4 >_>

I believe it's tailored to whatever your settings are under your options from the main menu.

I could be wrong because iv'e never touched My Player, but, I think that's what it is.

[Ruki]

Weird.....

[Ruki]

My second game in My Player I make my first basket of the game and....I go down with an injury. Back spasms >_<

But I sim past payday and now have 200k in the bank

[Meacon Keaton]

Who do you play for?

[Ruki]

I got drafted by the Bucks. We suck! We are 4-9

Edit: 5-9!

My shots are going in more, training a lot of that...and raising my consistency.

[JasonM]

I am sure I read somewhere on the 2K forums that shooting efficiency is also dependent on what jumpshot you got.

Makes sense, Shawn Marion's shot put drops less than Durant's jumper.

Mostly it is attribute related though.

Also a tip, always play the dribble course. Use the hez to beat the defender and take it in.

If you get your speed up to high levels you can start selling points for more skill points in other places.

...is there seriously someone named "World Peace"? :/

...is there seriously someone named "World Peace"? :/

Yup. FKA Ron Artest.

[HeyThereVelvet]

He's a bit, crazy. But, I have to say his intentions are good.

[Ruki]

.....wow.

Edit: Also, any tips on how to dunk?

[HeyThereVelvet]

Hold down the right trigger when going toward the hoop and do what you would normally do to shoot.

[KevinStorm]

Boost the dunk stat up as far as you can, too. I think players with lower dunk stats will only do a lay-up if they're in traffic.
