I do the same thing in Madden. Trade away all the older players, leaving behind a few young cornerstones and build my own team through the draft.

I'm a huge fan of this game. What I can't consistently get is games online, it just keeps searching 90% of the time.

opening ports is huge, you may already have it open and its sometimes a pain to find a game on the ps3, but on the 360, its pretty easy to do.

Yeah, I have a PS3. I have no idea how to open ports.

Think it takes you whole team. So if you got some shitty ass dude thats last on the bench thats going to affect the overall team rating big time. At least i think.

I was in desperate need of a new game, after playing the abortion of a game "Homefront" for two days (didn't even finish the campaign). ...huge disappointment for me as I was looking forward to it.

So, i went outside my comfort zone and bought a Basketball game. I know virtually nothing about baskeball in terms of defense/offense etc. I bought NBA live 2010 for like $18. So far I really enjoy it, but after reading reviews of 2k11, i'm seriously thinking of picking that up instead. looking at the videos online, it's like night and day difference between the two games.

...clearly apparent - even for myself who has always suspected as much - that EA sports 'mails it in' each year with their sports titles. I think I'm piciing up 2k11 tonight after work to give it a go.

Yea I'd say do it. Just FYI though 2k11 doesn't seem like your typical game i'm mean there is some strategy involved.

I've looked at rosters for teams that are 97, and I'm higher at every respective position. There are teams that have a rating in the mid 90s that don't have a single player in the 90s, and have multiple players in the 60s.

So after going 1-5 in the last 6 games I made the playoffs as a #2 and i'm about to sweep the Hawks. Go figure.

I just bought this game about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I love it. It is absolutely the best hoops video game ever. I mean yeah, 2K8 was great and I like college better. But this game is even better. The presentation, the many game modes, the tutorials...Fantastic! I even played a pickup game last night online using My Player. That is awesome that you can play a pickup game with real people each playing their own My Player over the internet.

I have noticed that some people I have played that are great at playing My Player I have kicked their butts in the online league. They tend to forget that hoops is a team sport.

Urc Burry · 04-01-2011, 10:43 AM

In my player, i'm in my first season in the playoffs, 53 overall...got drafted by the thunder, and the starting lineup looks like:
PG Me
SG Rip Hamilton
SF Durant
PF Kevin Love
C Perkins
6th man: Westbrook

Pretty badass lineup

DBOSHO · 04-02-2011, 04:46 PM

I won the nba finals in myplayer on the nets after being down 3-0 to the spurs lol. You get to take pictures with obama!!!!!1!

Dayze · 04-13-2011, 10:17 AM

i've been playing the "My Player" feature.

Overall, my basketball knowledge is pretty limited, so I'm not sure how well I did distributing my points when setting it up. And, I'm not all that sure what the different positions are - so I went with SG.
I'm rated as an 'all-around' type player, with only a 43 rating.
I think I've played like 42 games so far; only averaging like 6pts a game, but don't do too bad (I don't think...) in defensive rebounds and assists; about 5 each per game.

Shooting is becoming a 'little' easier now that I've been able to bump up my attributes slightly.

The thing that drives me nuts - and I"m not sure if this is a 'user' thing or 'game thing' - is at times my team will transition to offesne and set up; and the PG will stand there for nearly the entire shot clock until about 3 seconds, then either shoot a low percentage shot or dish it. Meanwhile, my entire team stands there...no one running or moving. I'm the only one running around, trying to set screens etc. I've tried even standing in my own spot in the offense, thinking maybe the computer needs to recognize you there in order to select a play etc; but no dice. Doesn't happen all the time; but probably at least 60% or more. very frustrating.

I may even consider creating a new player now that I know a little more as to what's important from an attribute standpoint based on how I play. my guy sucks at dribbling, ball security, layups, shooting in traffic.............basically everythign lol.

But overall, awesome game. I'm not even a 'basketball guy' at all, but I've been playing the sh*t out of this. very fun.

On offense are you going to the blue spot, your offense usually won't run until you go to your spot so they set the play.
