Tony Allen is ruining my life onthe grizz.

I'm the 6th man (though I'll have connleys spot soon, he sucks) so I often find myself out there with this moron. He is the worst. Everytime I dish it to him, he dries against three people and turn it over. He always runs to help me double for no reason and can't fight through screens.

Luckily I normally have Marc gasoline and mayo on the floor so I can freeze him out, but points for realism on his basketball iq NBA

One myplyer gripe from a pg. If one more low post player puts his hand up for an entry pass then moves before I can finsh the passing animation for a turnover, I'm going to punch my tv.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I haven't dived into the myplayer mode yet - any tips on stuff to consider while creating my guy?

What ever position I make I always choose athletic so I can can dunk from the jump.  Other then that it is all whatever your play style.

I started out as a 6'10 240 lb SF, and the first thing I "pimped out" was my 3pt ability, then speed..through games I bulked up my layup ability, ball handling, and dunking.

By now I can score from anywhere on the court competently but not well. I'm automatic in low-post mismatches against 1's and 2's, but falter against some 3's, 4's, and 5's. I'm automatic taking 4's and 5's to the hoop from outside, but some 3's and all 2's, and 1's can usually stay in front of me 2/3 times. Beyond that I'm faster than most 4's and taller than most 3's, and I get a lot of buckets in transition.


Why did I tell you all this? Because I love this game and I love talking about it.

Once you guys complete your first season.

Or you feel comfortable enough with your my player you should join the Celticsblogger crew I created so we can all team up online and have fun.

I don't care about win/loses in crew I just want to have fun.

Fixed for spelling lol

i dont care if you are a 39 I just want to run with some people and have fun.  Wins/Loses I only care about in ranked 1v1 matches.

Name of the crew is Celticsbloggers I will be listed as the GM.  XBL GT is same as on this site.  It is open to the public anyone is free to join up.

We should pick a day and time and play together and either get schooled or play people worse then us and win.

Keep in mind you can play your My player or chose a player from the Celtics roster to play (or both when one or the other get tired you can sub) with since the team is based on the C's

sounds good to me, tuesday or sunday nights are generally my nights where i can play xbox a bit.

Also, while i like my PG im not auper attached to him, I know indeed plays a nasty SF, what are you playing?

If we need one I'll make a Big man and turn the difficulty down and ramp up his stats and rating.

I actually had to swallow my pride and turn it down the diff last night, as a 48 over all with subpar skills besides speed and passing, im getting destroyed. Gonna bump it back up after i run off some big skill point games and steal the starting job from connley.

Also, i need the ability to ask for trades so i can get tony allen the fudge out of here. I like the grizz minus our horrid bench.

About 25+ games in my first season of my player.  Waas getting way to easy blowin everyone out by 30+  Bumped my difficulty up to HOF and still killin em.

Averaging 30p 6a 2s have not lost a game since my trade.

Only difference in difficulty is that you cant just freestyle it.  You have to take your time and call set plays to score.

Also you shot seems to get blocked much more.  But creating space fixes that easily.

I LOVE THIS GAME!

Heard the ROY achievement is glitched.  It wont unlock if you win the MVP and ROY (which I am on pace to do).

assassin, you are a god at playing this game!! o_O those are some crazy numbers!

i've finally finished all that summer circuit and i got drafted by the Grizzlies (25th overall). 3 games in, i'm only averaging a B teammate grade :( we have a record of 1-2 and i'm comin off the bench and for some reason, Lionel Hollins likes to play me and Conley together even though i'm a PG. that dude is the worst PG ever! lol, i exaggerate. but i want to request a trade after the 5th game but the only team interested in me are the Heat. i'll die of egos there! haha!

how the heck do you average such great numbers? am i not playing the game right? I'm averaging about 6-2-1 after 3 games and i'm playin on 6min/game. any tips to boost my overall grade? I'm a 50 overall right now

My player has already been traded three times. I kind of felt like making him a headcase.

Got drafted by the Wiz, didn't like playing PG with Arenas, Wall and Hinrich. Got traded to the Pacers, they sucked so i wanted another trade and ended up with the Jazz.. they were the 3rd seed before they got me and then went on a huge slide. Always played me at off-guard with Deron Williams, too. Extremely annoying.

I'm with Golden State now, starting PG with Curry off then bench. working on the 7th seed right now.

Averaging 18 points and 7 assists.. Not bad for a three point specialist... And seriously, my guy does not miss midrange or threes. I put Ray Allen's jumpshot on and it's been butter ever since.

Up the minutes in the options menu. Go from 6 per quarter to 12. 12-4-2 isn't bad.

Averaging 18 points and 7 assists.. Not bad for a three point specialist... And seriously, my guy does not miss midrange or threes. I put Ray Allen's jumpshot on and it's been butter ever since.

As a big man, Melo or Dirk's jumper is butter, if you're playing a 3 or 4.

Here is my approach:

1) Go big, and all-around (you basically only lose quickness, vertical, and speed, but gain a good foundation)

2) BEFORE you do any drills, use up your 10,000 skill points, preferably on the expensive skills...probably the ones you're not originally good at. For me as an all-around SF, I bumped my 3pt and speed. (there is a trend here) Buying them while they're cheap maximizes their value. If you wait, you'll pay more assuming you upgrade the skills you want through drills

3) Do the drills before any game, and repeat them until you get the bonuses you want. if you're shooting, you want 3pt. If you're dribble course, you want speed, etc.

4) Use the skills points you got through the drills to bump layup and maybe dunk (but I wait for dunk)

5) In the games, learn to spot the defensive rebounds your team will get, and break while the shot is still in the air. You'll get 10-12 ppg easy that way, and you'll prevent falling in any cold streaks. You'll also get on hot streaks which means the midrange and 3pt shots you would normally miss (because of your 60 or so rating at this point) would go in.

6) At some point during the combine games or summer circuit, upgrade your layin, dribbling, and dunk abilities. Being able to finish at the rim is a big deal. You'll also want to up shoot in traffic.

The rest is up to you.

Being able to dunk is essential.

To get that boost from B to A's you are going to need some run out fast break dunks.  A fast break dunk is one of the biggest boosters to your grade.

this was a very good suggestion. I only upped it to 10min though, because when i played 12, it seemed a bit too long for my tastes. made a huge difference though! i'm getting A+'s now. Although maybe the fact that i played the Suns and the Kings also had somethin to do with it :P

My Player is going alright.
6'8" SF. Went with the 'athletic' mould and have used my skill points in an 'all-rounder' way. 

Went so badly in the combine, I was lucky to be drafted at all!. Had some shocking summer league games to the point where the insider said "If you don't perform in the next game, your going to the D-league". Luckily for me, the game started clicking for me. Started running the fast breaks and crashing the boards like crazy, however my player is still an awful jumpshooter.

Made the reg season squad. After about 15 games I took Magette's starting spot and have been getting around a B-/B teammate rating  think I should just about make the Rookie squad. I think his best attribute is his blocking, I dominated the Nets one game. Blocked Terrance WIlliam's 3pt attempts twice, broke away on the second block for a monster fast break jam!

I am free Sunday nights too.  You can run the point I can play the 2.  I come off screens like a UCONN product and knock down the J :D
