MLB 2k12

Since it’s another cold/wet weekend in Minnesota, I finally went and picked up Major League Baseball 2k12 to give myself a little break from NBA 2k12 and Mass Effect 2.  So far so good in the ‘My Player’ mode on MLB 2k12, seems more fun and not discouraging as NBA game is at times.  Go TWINS!

NBA2k12 Update

So, I’m 40+ games into an NBA2k12 My Player season with a 6’8 Shooting Guard.. all of a sudden every 5’10-6’1 guard is blocking my layups and stealing the ball.. and shots not blocked roll off the rim like there is plexi-glass over the rim.. was averaging 30 points per game for 15 games and got an Eastern Conference player of the week.. since then all the above strange stuff has been going on.. One other strange thing is all of a sudden every rebound attempt is now an ‘over the back’ foul and the only way I can get a steal anymore is have my back turned and the ball hit my ‘My Player’ character.

Right after I posted that I was boxed out .. at the 3 point line.. with my 6'8 player.. by Earl Boykins.. WTF!

NBA2k12

Finally picked up a copy of NBA2k12 last month and been playing it on XBOX 360 whenever possible.. the game has some great qualities and some not so great ones.  In creating a ‘My Player’ and playing the season.. some of it is a major joke..

You’re in a close game and your computer controlled teammates act like they couldn’t give a damn about the game.. 4 points down 30 seconds and they run the shot clock to nothing and run out the entire game. 

Another is the My Player AI-Teammates defense.. or lack there of.. you are assigned someone to guard, with blue arrows.. yet that jumps around and changes so much during a possession .. your teammates switching on defense over and over without any warning to you and it costing you ‘teammate grades’ and ‘skill points’..

I haven’t played just regular season games, but the opponent teams hit so many 3-pointers that they’d be shooting at 80% for a season if they did what they do against your ‘My Player’ team.. incredibly inaccurate also that point guards who are 6 foot tall block 6 foot 8 or taller players shots over and over on layups.

 

Thus concludes a random thought.. or thoughts..
