MLB 2k12 How's Your My Player Going Thread?

[DHMN69]

So far I'm liking having a starting pitcher in My Player for MLB 2k12.. Not so much my two batters.. a 1B and a CF/RF because you don't see enough of the actual game played.. miss batting a bit but I didn't pick a National League team

Phil Franco update got traded to the Giants and switched to SS to give them a legit SS who can hit and play D. wears number 20 5 more games and i should be at the big leauges

I just made my first SS/2B and now have to learn to steal bases for the first time.. but I can always do the 1st/3rd deal to get my steals I need to get the promotion later.. when I am at 1st with a guy on 3rd anyway

Can anyone tell me how hard it is to make a closer on 2k12?

I tried making one on 2k11, but it was nigh-on impossible, after 5 or 6 seasons I was the 'set-up man', but being brought in when we were 4 or 5 runs down.

Maybe I just got the technique wrong though?!

Now I know game developers likely never actually PLAYED baseball.. but a SS/2B who's holding a runner at second.. is NOT going to turn his back and run 15 feet behind him to get in position to field .. aesthetics maybe but it's not real.

My SS won't get a callup in this season I don't think.. already have 16 throwing errors in 23 games while slowly fixing the accuracy stat.. and can't steal a base.. 0-10 so far.. not enough base running points to fix that quick enough

Not happy.

Went with a 1B through the Nationals organization and was having a lot of fun with it. Had my overall up to a 75 at the end of the season (while playing for the Nats) go to go through the offseason, and it freezes every single time on the player progression screen. Every.single.time.

Well....that was wasted time, back to scratch now.

I have been promoted to Closer after playing one full year as Set-Up (which was my first full season in Majors). White Sox organisation.

So I'm trying to build my SS (Nats) up to get the 10 steals to get the call-up (without moving sliders, but it seems impossible).. almost got the fielding percentage back up to 90% after the many throwing errors and dropped line drives..

I did the Leadoff and Jump drill on 'drill day'... stole 3 straight just fine.. then the pitcher decides to throw a pickoff for 7 straight.. use up all my 2nd base attempts.. 3 of the 3rd base attempts were pickoff throws instead.. the drill should allow for another chance if you're not actually picked off

[DHMN69]

I had to change the base running slider to get my stolen bases in.. it wasn't happening otherwise.. now on the Nats roster my SS playing 2B behind Ian Desmond at SS.

Hitting .263 in 14 games.. 15 hits .. 2 double 1 triple 1 homer 8 RBI.. only 2 runs scored because Wilson Ramos hits .308 but hasn't got a hit with me on base in any game.. keeps taking called third strikes. Team was in first place when I got the call-up so I should get a playoff run .. 119 games into the season 76-43 record .. amazingly after Ramos' .308 average the best on the team is only .273.. the rest average about .230 and the 2k12 game has Laroche as a bench warming backup only getting pinch hitting duties

Had some free time before work this afternoon.. played 5..maybe 6 games and have a 5 game hitting streak in the majors.. the problem.. my average has dipped to .237 because.. my 5 game hitting streak is 4 1/5's and a 2/5!
