I'll kill someone if that's the case!! I'm through 65 games in regular season with the Kings, I'm averaging 19.5 ppg, 1.8 steals, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1.6 steals. Played in Rookie vs Sophomore, and been player of the month once and player of the week twice. Overall 64... And yet, Kings are 14th in the West... Kevin Martin is jackin shots like Ron Artest...
check this out...i played the lakers in my 2nd regular season meeting with them and it was neck to neck, must have exhanged leads like 15 times, and it was tied at the end with 23 seconds left, aaron brooks got doubled up bc he was killing them the whole game, he dished it out to ariza who had someone on him as the clock ran down to 2 seconds left, he jacks up a long range jumper and drains it just as the buzzer goes off, and luis scola throws his hands up in the air and goes to high five ariza so far Scola is the leading scorer after 10 games avg. 18ppg, then it's Aaron brooks at 15ppg and ariza around 14ppg. So i dont really have a go to guy, one thing that's not too realistic but good is that brooks is leading the league in assist with 13 pg!
I've gotten around to actually playing regular games and not My Player and a few things: 1. Alley-oops. Good god, I never want to see another alley-oop again for the rest of my basketball watching life. The things cannot be blocked at all, and you'll see about 6 to 7 per game. 2. Jump shots in general. Maybe it's just playing with Yao and Houston, but I find it more productive to give it to Yao in the paint and let him battle three guys than to throw it up to McGrady or Ariza for an open jumper that'll inevitably clank. Brooks will make them, but the other two are just arrrggghh. Budinger is fairly fun to play with, as well as Mensah-Bonsu, but Taylor and Hayes are utterly useless.
17 pages is going to take a while to read. so i am just going to ask; hows everyone that plays "my player" mode doing? are you guys with a NBA team, d-league?
http://www.operationsports.com/forums/nba-2k/ Download a good set of sliders and read what settings to adjust. They are still trying to figure out a good way to lower PiP (points-in-paint) and make teams and players play more authentic to their styles but I think they have already dealt pretty well with things like alley oops, sliding and jumpshots. Look for a patch announcement tomorrow.
Just check the last 4 pages, many have described how they are doing. My player (6"8 PF) is the sixth man with the Rockets. I average about 9 points (60% FG) and 7 reb 1.7 assists. He made the team from training camp. Ratings still somewhere in the 40.
If you play like a douchebag, yeah. Hopefully they address the ease of scoring in the paint in the upcoming patch.
Ok tried the My Player mode, one quick observation don't make hybrid or combo players and expect to get far in this game. Meaning its a mistake to make a 6'3 shoot first pg or 6'8 athletic PF. Go with the the normal mold of each position and you'll have more success. PG should be 6'2 with handling and passing skills beforehand, SG need to be atleast 6'6 with 3 point range, SF should 6'8 athletic, PF 6'10 inside scorer, Center 7'0 defense and rebounder.
I'm a 6'7" PF. Overall 56. Made the Rockets team from Summer League and am starting by the 15th game now. About 30 games into the season. This is such a fun mode. Yao My Player Ariza T-Mac Brooks
Patch notes are out. Seems it will be at least a few weeks before it is released however. http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241487
Dang this MY Player mode is addictive, I went through summer league and half the D-league before I realized you could edit height, my guy was a 6'3" point forward...and getting owned on the glass. So, I am now a ripped 6'9" 222 pound SF/point forward, and just got signed by the Bucks to a 10 day contract....I am nailing from the midrange, and pass like a mother scratcher.... Now, I need to work on my 3pters and get my dunking going.....so far, I am like Luis Scola, I have not even touched the rim. My plan is to go to the Rockets next year..... And did anyone else put their REAL NAME in as their character name? It is AWESOME hearing the announcer saying your real name over the loud speaker. There are some faults......in the rankings etc as to how to move up, but overall, very challenging and a blast to play. BTW - 2K is not getting bought by EA......EA is short of cash right now....and 2K is killing....."The Ballad of Gay Tony" comes out soon too....woot. DD
You guys see the details of the patch? 2K Sports has finally revealed the details of the upcoming patch for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of NBA 2K10. The game, which was released early this month, has hit a snag with players experiencing poor frame rate, online issues, lackluster A.I and various other glitches. According to reports, the much awaited patch is now being evaluated before being submitted to Sony and Microsoft for certification. This massive patch is expected to arrive within two weeks' time if everything goes on as planned. Patch Notes: GENERAL Improved game performance in all arenas and camera angles. Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown in the paint in specific arenas. Corrected a framerate issue that was causing noticeable slowdown during NBA D-League games. Fixed an issue where Coach Settings were not properly saving to the user’s Settings file. Addressed an issue where the user would enter into a game where there would either be no crowd present or the opposing team would not appear on the court. Fixed an issue where users would get NBA Blacktop rules (no intentional fouls, no 3-in-the-key, etc.) turned on when attempting to play a Quick Game. In-game saves should now load up correctly in the Playoffs game mode. Users are now able to assign any jersey number to a player, on any team, when playing outside of The Association game mode. Games played in the NBA D-League should now have appropriate sized crowds. Fixed a slowdown issue during stoppages of play with created teams. Made a change to where the value for headband colors is stored at. These changes can now be made through Living Roster releases once the patch is released. If you see any discrepancies, make sure and let the 2K Insider know! GAMEPLAY: Tuned shooting percentages across the board, particularly in the paint where more shots are now initiated with contact. Fixed a soft hang on an inbound where the inbounding player would miss the ball handoff from the referee. Plays will no longer break when the user strays slightly from the intended path. Both User/CPU alley-oop success has been toned down such that only realistic attempts should now be completed. Assists should now only be credited to the passer at appropriate times. Only 1 timeout is deducted from the total when the CPU calls a timeout for the user. The CPU should no longer pass the ball to a teammate when the recipient has a foot out of bounds. Bad passes should be less inaccurate now. They still happen with similar frequency, but some passes can be recovered now. CPU players now have better logic behind their turbo energy management (which will keep them fresher for key moments in the game). CPU players should now be more aware of being called for 3 second violations. Defensive assist is now turned off when the ball is not in play. The dribbler should no longer teleport back a few feet on the court following a two player steal attempt. Players with unique free throw stances (ex., Paul Pierce) will no longer slide into position to shoot the free throw. Point Guards should no longer end up out of bounds during baseline inbounds coming out of a timeout or dead ball. Fixed a case where the PG would run in a circle (in anticipation of receiving the ball) in the backcourt during transitions. Players should no longer get stuck in the post in a single player hold-ball animation (often leading to a 24-second violation) when trying to drive to the basket. Fixed an issue where the user was unable to give certain players their player-specific animation packages. Fixed an issue with a baseline layup where opposing defenders weren’t able to create contact when the animation played out. Addressed a specific dunk animation that would sometimes not result in a made basket despite a successful dunk. The user should now notice more over-the-back calls on rebounds when the boxed out player attempts a rebound. Improvements to the ‘walk the dog’ inbounds play including increased velocity on the inbound. A good number of other changes aimed towards increasing user satisfaction have also been made in this release. These will be apparent as you play the game (ex. The referee will now utilize a bounce pass rather than a chest pass when passing the ball to the shooter during free throw situations, plays will now start quicker when the user manually calls a play, etc.). PRESENTATION: During NBA Today/Association games, the ‘Upcoming Schedule’ overlay will no longer obstruct gameplay. Fixed an issue where the substitution overlay would sometimes briefly cover the action on the court. Blank overlays should no longer quickly appear/disappear during gameplay. ONLINE: Improved performance and stability for all online game types. Corrected an issue in Team-Up play where all players would sometimes see the same player (PG) listed in all substitution slots. Ranked game difficulty has been changed to SuperStar for Team-Up games. Removed the spotlights for online play only to improve performance during stoppages of play. Corrected an issue with the My Player Pick-Up games that would sometimes cause games to diverge upon initiation. Fixed an issue where online Association games would diverge at halftime if neither user skipped through the presentation sequence. Fixed a hang that would sometimes occur when making substitutions during an online Association game. Fatigue should now behave as expected during private Team-Up games. Fixed a hang in Who’s Online that would occur when the user scrolled quickly with a large number of friends on the list. Replays uploaded via GameTrack should now play properly when viewed at 2ksports.com. Fixed an issue with the Screenshot Upload feature that would sometimes upload an incorrect screenshot. Fixed an issue where a user’s consecutive win streak would get reset to zero if the user won a game where his/her opponent quit out of the active game. Fixed an issue in private matches with friends where all users would disconnect when attempting to play a second game. Fixed an issue where games in online leagues would diverge if users made changes to the default roster. Addressed an issue where completed ranked games would sometimes not report the results to the server. MY PLAYER: Fixed an issue that would cause a clone of the user’s player to be created when changing teams at the end of the Summer Circuit. Existing cloned players will be removed with this patch. Tuned the substitution logic such that users should no longer be substituted out only to be substituted in at the next dead ball. The logic that determines whether or not you get an invite to Training Camp, make the NBA team, and get an invite from an NBA team while in the NBA D-League have all been changed to be a little more forgiving. Resolved an issue where the 2K Insider was not informing the user of his/her contract status at the conclusion of a 10-day contract. Fixed a rare case that would cause a hang during the offseason following a My Player season. Animation packages will no longer be reset to the ‘best’ package every time a corresponding attribute is upgraded. The user’s ‘Drills Remaining’ value will now be properly saved as new drills are accumulated throughout the NBA/D-League season. ASSOCIATION: The ability for the user to upload their Association stats/standings to the blog interface on 2KSports.com has been added. Fixed an issue where player ratings would drop upon the successful completion of a Development Drill. Tuned the Player Progression system such that Shot Tendencies will progress/regress over a player’s career. Additionally, general Player Progression/Regression has been slightly increased as well. Fixed an issue where the number of players the user had sent down to their D-League affiliate wasn’t getting reset despite recalling players back to their NBA team. Fixed an issue where draft classes loaded in future years would change the age of the prospects inside the draft class. They should now have the same age they were created with. 10-day contracts should now work in year 2 and beyond. Lower rated players should now be more accepting of the ‘Role Player’ role. Stats accumulated during NBA D-League games will no longer register as Season/Career Highs for players. Corrected an issue where users were able to continue drafting players once the NBA Draft had ended. Users should no longer have an obstructed view of the court when performing Development Drills. Users should no longer be able to see the overall rating of players during the NBA Draft. Corrected an issue where backloaded contracts were getting incorrectly multiplied in the latter years of the contract. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
