    Well, had my best game yet. In an 81-75 win over the Pacers, my player ended with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and one block (all career highs). I did, however, commit my very first turnover of my player's career. Not bad, not committing a single turnover until the 4th quarter of the 6th game of the season, but definitely liked having that 0 on my stats for turnovers.

    Started My Player last night. I really liked the whole opening of this with the interviews with team GM's and such. In the rookies game, I ended up with 12 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals for a B+ rating. I wasn't a lottery pick, barely, Houston drafted me with the 16th pick.

    Yeah, I loved those interviews. Not only gave me an idea of exactly what teams were interested in me and gave me a good idea of where I would end up, but it also gave me some insight into what the teams wanted to do. Phoenix was the best case scenario as they wanted to groom me as Steve Nash's replacement when he retires. The Houston Rockets would have been my second preferred choice, as while they are rebuilding, their GM said they would rebuild and build up the team around me as the centerpiece of their team.

    The Pacers were the team I wanted to avoid. Not only were they in long term rebuilding mode, but their GM was talking about how they since they're a small market team and not as flashy or key destination as teams like New York, LA, Miami, etc, that they gear their franchise towards players that will spend their entire career with Indiana and wanted me to give them a commitment of spending my whole career with them if they were to draft me.

    While I can certainly leave anytime I wanted, either by requesting a trade or by signing somewhere else after the completion of any current or future contracts, I just didn't really feel like getting myself into that situation, with the state of the team, and the hits I'd take to my chemistry ratings.

    As for my player, getting better with each game. Just set a new career high for points with 19 points in a 100-90 win against the Bucks and was the Player of the Game. My player and Vince Carter finished tied on top in leading the team in scoring with 19 each. Also ended the game with 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 block. I was really hoping that I'd get to 20 points, and was at 19 at the end of the 3rd quarter, but that apparently was enough for me, as the Suns kept my player on the bench for the entire 4th quarter.

    Doh never mind. The Sixers drafted me man my memory is shot today.

    I could have sworn that Phoenix at 13 or Houston at 14 were going to take me.

    Those were the three teams that talked to me.

    I liked the billboard they had put up in Philly for my arrival...that was sweet.

    I will also say, I am very happy the Suns took my at 13th, as I was able to just barely squeak into the lottery picks and get the Dawn of an Era achievement for getting drafted as a lottery pick.

    And oh boy. Next game for the Suns, sitting at 3-4 now on the season after winning two in a row, we go on the road to 5-0 Detroit. I think I'm going to leave that one for tomorrow evening when I get my next chance to sit down and fire up the 360.

    Haven't gotten a chance to start yet, but I'm hoping to make use of the new dribble controls for a better PG setup. These new controls are AWESOME compared to the last two years. Just gotta get used to the post move stuff (which are definitely cool - makes me want to learn how to do the dream shake ).

    Okay, got some clarification from Ronnie at 2K. This isn't so bad. ONE NBA day is advanced every 24 hours on SLOW.

    I don't know what's up with this game (or maybe it's something weird with the PC version) but the playcalling system seems fucked up to me. It feels cluttered and ends up just being a clusterfuck when the CPU tries to run a play. I haven't tried it in Association Mode yet where I'm making the play calls completely and can change them, but, for the My Player Mode, the playcalling system is pretty fucked up. Anyone else experience it?

    I haven't really messed with playcalling yet on 2K12, just been playing freestyle ball so far in My Player, getting used to and learning the various moves that I can make and use to my advantage when I have the ball. I've started up a Denver Nuggets Association, but I haven't done a single thing in it yet. Any and all of the time that I've spent in NBA2K12 since it arrived on Wednesday has all been in My Player. But I'll keep an eye for that when I start getting playcalling up and running.

    I put the qtrs to one minute and finished all the classic games to get the classic teams...and theres a couple more that were thrown in to the classic lot as well...oh yeah, now i remember,it was the 76-77 Sixers that were added, with Dr Js fro



    an odd thing...when you use the 65 Celtics in play now , its in color, not black and white and there is a 3 point line on the court.

    I have it on autosave but when I went into rosters to change classic players shoes, it didnt save when I used them in a game.

    The game displayed that since I unlocked all the classic teams, i could use them in games online of 2 or more players

    Well now, after literally not having a weekend at all (the entire weekend was spent either at work, driving or riding in a car, or sleeping, I finally got the play the Pistons this morning in My Player. Despite being 5-0, the Pistons literally were pushovers. We were winning 30-6 after one quarter, had a 55-25 lead at halftime, and just completely bitchslapped them on our way to a 93-58 win, our third victory in a row.

    As for my stats, best game yet. Led the team with 22 points, the last two of those points coming on a layup with 28 seconds left (Steve Nash had 21), 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Went 8-22 on field goals, 4-10 on three pointers, and 2-2 from the free throw line. Also had my best performance of the season. Had my individual performance rated as good, ended with a B+ teammate grade, completed all three objectives (Teammate grade of B+ or higher, take at least 5 jump shots, and hold my matchup to 48.0% shooting from the field (matchup ended with 12.5%).

    I also completed my dynamic goal of not committing a turnover for the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, and completed the milestone of scoring 20 points in a single game, giving me 1374 skill points from the game. And damnit, why couldn't I have gotten a extra point somewhere. I'm currently sitting at 99 career points. Just need one more for the 100 career point milestone and another 500 skill points. Now I just need to get a better contract. A mere $100K every 14 days isn't going to cut it.

    Also, we apparently suck at home. So far, with a 4-4 record, the Suns are 0-3 at home, 4-1 on the road. If we have the lead after 3 quarters, we're golden, currently 4-1 with a 3rd quarter lead on the season. 0-2 if trailing after 3. 3-2 when ahead at half, 1-2 when trailing. Some other stats, we're 2-3 against .500 or better teams, 0-3 against teams with a better FG%, 3-1 against teams with more rebounds, and 3-0 against teams with fewer turnovers.
