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.

yeah, I finally figured that out after while, but it still happens quite a lot; like an offensive play doesn't get called or whatever. when a play does get called I can see the lines/play I'm supposed to make, but it seems a lot of times I stand in the spot, and the entire team stands in once place.

I'm sure part of the problem is my lack of basketball know-how etc. too.

I also need to figure out how to call plays when I get subbed to PG; or determine if the computer automatically calls one for me etc.

I think a PG can only call plays when your rating gets passed a certain overall number.

Loving this game!

I thought it seemed when you built your teams trust...answering professional and loyalty in the interviews basically.

I won the ship with the thunder in year 1, then demanded a trade to the Heat in year 2

Been playing online I like to play as the Heat, Bulls, Warrior, and Thunder...and that's about it

I can't wait for that. Loving the My Player mode, but it gets frustrating sometimes not being able to call plays.

I just lost a game to a buddy by 3 pts when i was up by 18 in the 4th..

Dayze · 04-18-2011, 08:51 AM

Ok,
I played this game a TON on Saturday; didn’t have much going on, the wife was out shopping etc, so I played it for a few hours.

I got MUCH better. I’m not sure if it’s because I was able to get a few more skill points or what. I’m still only at an overall level 44, so I don’t know if skill points really helped much etc. But for some reason, my team went off. Up to that point, we were like 12-38 or something really bad like that. then we rattled off a 7 game streak; and during that time I was named player of the game.

That REALLY helped because I received a ton of skill points (more than the typically 100 points I had been getting each game etc). Then over the course of the next couple hours, I got player of the game again like 4 more times.

Not sure what I was doing differently; maybe letting the offense run (instead of me running around like a fool); I really concentrated on defense and rebounding.

I can’t tell you how good it feels to actually shoot the ball and have it go in the hoop. Lol. Before I was lucking to drain about 10% of my shots. IN the last couple games I was shooting about 65%; had about 12-18pts per game (compared to like 4); about 6 rebounds PG.

This game is awesome/addicting (and this coming from a non-basketball guy)

Mr. Arrowhead · 04-19-2011, 09:17 AM

to get your ranking up, get your offensive and defensive awareness up, that alone will get u to 65 overall.

**dirk digler** · 04-19-2011, 09:39 AM

I am on my 2nd year in My Player playing PG with the Clippers, rated a 99 and won the MVP and the Championship my rookie year. I am undefeated and 61-0 so far in my second year.

Hammock Parties · 07-05-2011, 09:47 PM

Anyone else playing My Player mode?

Fun as hell.

I did that for awhile. It was fun and addictive. Heck, this whole game is very addictive. But I had to stop playing My Player mode because it was making me worse in the Association mode.

Hammock Parties · 07-06-2011, 09:43 AM

I'm a 6-3 athletic PG about 3/4 done with rookie year.

Concentrating on jump shooting and defense.

Most of my points are in medium, 3 point, shoot off dribble, consistency, defensive awareness and on ball defense.

It's funny because I have no points in layup right now and last game I missed about four point blank layups, but hit 5 three pointers.
