"Gana Diop Have It All!!!" The NBA2K13 Thread

Post #121 » by **Diop** » Wed Oct 17, 2012 11:44 am

the GM asked me what players I would like on the team.

I made the list, knowing it would shoot me in the foot, and sure enough he traded Derozan and Calderon for Eric Gordon.

Great trade in real life, but Derozan was my go to man, he was unstoppable.

Always go for the scoring big man who can hit from mid range and in the post. That'll get you an automatic six assists right there. Brandon Bass and KG are awesome at that. Even Tyson Chandler hits most of his shots in the post (contested or not) and even hits the occasional shot out to about 15 feet.

Yeah I love bargnani for that. He is money if he is open

The same thing with Scola in Phoenix. I reached double digits in assists for the first time, yet this time I missed out on the rebounds - 22pts/7rebs/10asts. Making that run for the 4th place with 5 wins in a row, only problem is that Denver hasn't lost the last five games as well, so we're still 3 games down and there are only 10 left.

Scola was my go to man on 2k12. Drive into the paint, kick out to Scola.

I've managed a triple double once so far. I can't remember who it was against, but my point guard managed 12 or 13 rebounds.

my rockets started 5-0 and now we have lost 5 straight. last game we got destroyed by the lakers 140-116. my player was getting negative ratings because i was matched up on nash, then kobe and then gasol - as a 6-4 point guard. what is mchale thinking? i went to gm and told him that toney douglas needs to go, be he just told me to be patient. argh. i spend half the game at shooting guard. what are some tips for playing off the ball? my last game 16pts, 2reb, 7ast, 2stl and 7tos. OUCH. any pass i threw near the paint the lakers picked it off and ran the fast break the other way. kobe and 40 and howard had 39.

when I play SG, I wait at the 3pt line for the Pg to bring it up and then demand the ball.

I then pretty much play as a point guard. Drive and kick is probably my most successful way to get assists.

The fact that I'd play a game with either the Sixers or Wolves and Love or Bynum only end up with like 5 rebounds on 8 minute quarters really messes with me man. Anybody know any decent sliders for PS3 that could alter this a little? I'm so tired of not getting rebounds with good rebounders.

well thats what i am doing for the most part. but lin and douglas NEVER pass. those two just run as fast as they can towards the rim and then attempt a layup.

on the other hand, its cheaper and you get the far superior basketball game once the modders get going. all the filler crap gets old anyway

such as already getting our new court

one day im gonna buy a gaming PC so I can enjoy modded NBA 2k

I had NBA 2k12 on PC, and used a better site (NLSC) to get my mods. But by not having VC's or anything they KILLED the coolest parts of the Myplayer mode this year.

Post #131 » by **Diop** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 1:44 am

ive only ever played the PC model. what am I missing. I still enjoy my player.

except for my common frustrations which I will vent now.

I hate how it changes who your direct opponent is. I see that we need help on the boards and crash them. My opponent gets changed to the centre/pf who gets the rebound and puts it back in. My rating gets smashed and the coach cracks it.

I want to pass the ball by my opponent as my player is open. In real life you would either bounce it or lob it, somehow go around.
But not my point guard, he tries to pass it through my opponents chest. So an easy assist becomes a turnover.

Also Lowry is a brainless **** who I would happily kick in the balls if I see him. Doing the screen and read training and he will never use the screen. Doesn't matter where I set the screen, he will go the over way, do some fancy dribbling and throw up a brick. Then I get the fail. Every other player manages it.

thats all for now

i really love the venting about my player in this thread (side note: i am really enjoying it and i am amazed at how far basketball video games have come along)'

the "points responsible for" stat is all kinds of jacked up. tonight vs the bulls boozer and nazr combined for 57 points. asik and patterson were only responsible for giving up 7 and 16 points respectively. every time down the floor boozer was scoring over asik. in fact, if the real version of asik is anything like the video game version, the rockets are in trouble. he gets destroyed in the post every game. gave up 42 to boozer, 40 to howard, 25 to jefferson... thats just the past 3 games.

i have yet to play an actual real game, only my player. one day i will get around to playing the bobcats in association.

don't be jealous Fat's but I got Vinnie from Jersey Shore following my player on twitter. Apparently my play had him "fist pumping"

the reason why I'm sticking only to the my player mode for now is because of this annoying glitch when playing 5vs5:

so, if you do start an association - beware. I guess a patch is coming out soon though.

Virtual Doc Rivers is an idiot.

I've been scoring between 25 and 40 in each of my last ten games, but during that stretch, he's been consistently cutting my minutes down from 25 to about 15. I can't figure out what I did to deserve that, but it didn't matter, I just scored my new career high of 43 in 17 minutes of action against the Knicks. Went 8-13 from distance and 15-27 from the field. My percentages are finally coming up.

i guess you cant adjust sliders during my player, right? people would cheat so they can build up tons of points. i just wanted to adjust the slider so the CPU didnt grab 20 offensive rebounds each game and to make it a bit easier for my player to rebound.

stats through 12 games (no sim):

8.9ppg, 1.8rpg, 6.8apg, 0.5spg, 0.4bpg 47%fg, 45%3pt, 68%ft

am i the only one playing every game? is that crazy? does my player get SP points if i sim a game and he does well? or do you have to play the game to get SP points?

wow, thats a bit ridiculous. i guess this glitch doesnt happen during myplayer? half the time when i try to make a long pass like that my pass goes sailing 10 feet into the stands.

I've only been playing key games and I've enjoyed doing that. At the end of the year my guy only averaged about 13 points but he went off in games I controlled him. I ended up dragging the Suns to the 2nd round of the playoffs only to lose to the Thunder in 6.

You don't get SP if you sim but you do you get "paid" more often so you level up faster than you would playing every game. Also the fact you get double points in key games. Only downside is you are not as good in your career as quickly as you could be.
