NBA 2K12- The Year Of 3-Point Shooting

[TheArchangles982]

It used to be easier, but my player has a high 3 point shot and he misses wide open A+ quality perfect release shots, I haven't hit a three in 9 games. WTF

[Cheers201]

This isn't true at all in my player...at least not for me. I have a good 3 pt (87) and I take open shots, but I never, ever make them.

[Troxxity]

turn down the sliders in game to 44-46, then take everyone's ratings down 10.

every game, even on HoF in 12 minute quarters, I even take a snails pace and slow the tempo way down and we always get damn 130 point games

going against the spurs and magic is impossible, every game I play the magic J Rich breaks the records for 3's every time, and Ginobili has 20-30 3pt attempts.

can we go back to basketball simulation?

[DeafJamSC2]

you cant make three's anymore...

you miss every shot

[iGoDuffy]

@gilless429 yeah then the unrealistic dunking on people a dude was dunking on me with Galimari or whatever his name is on Denver. Dunking all in Mark Gasol and Kevin Durant can't dunk on everybody either that's what Lebron or Rudy Gay somebody big does

[Med6666666666]

i was 75th like!! :D

[ChosenOO7]

What is the best online team overall? and What is the best 3pt shooter team?

[kathweezy14]

@ChosenOO7 magic

[954theking]

Can someone please tell me how to view your hotspot please

[Tockwork]

@954theking

go to the edit player option and look at his shooting statrs

[FinalSurge020]

HANDS UP D# PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER

[FinalSurge020]

HANDS UP D# PEOPLE, GET IT TOGETHER

[TheRJBeats]

Its hard play on ball d cuz in 2k12 the playrs feel iike there on ice sliding around the Definder

[DownloadDoctor1]

Damn, this nigga took almost five minutes to just say shoot as many 3's as you can. smh I hope they patch this shit like tomorrow so bums like him won't be competitive online anymore.

[bulgokiburger]

YES VERY TRUE...ITS VERY UNREALISTIC. I know they are pros but you got people shooting ridiculous 

[lightbulbs95]

Yea shooting is so fuck in unreal

[tintin4561]

if they nerf the 3 point shooting they let you drive in and not get pick pocketed every time

[hulk315]

Tayre dattup

[jesuibete0]

oh my god 3 points are crazy this year and what about the pump fake event though you don t do anything when the guy pump fake the defender raise his arms and freeze like a dumb idiot and you cannot move then the guy (lebron most of the time) drive for an easy dunk

[iGoDuffy]

2k12 is horrible you turn the ball over like 20 times even though your not being fancy with the ball no matter who it is. I remember I had tony parker and got the ball stole 13 times just dribbling up court. Terrible game

[gilless429]

@iGoDuffy And sometimes when you dribble a bit toward somebody or by them, especially in late game situations, the ball will bounce on the guy's foot, making you lose it, the referees don't call the kicked ball violation, and the other guy gets it in a hurry.

[cut2e]

True 2k12 sucks

[ninnalove73]

Fix this mess. I just want a realistic game of bball. 2k is better than this.

[IamPrettyboyJ]

Even if your in people grill's they still knock down 3s. Plus on ball d is horrible its impposible to stay in front someone when they make a simple dribble move. Remeber last year when 2k11 dropped, NO ONE could hit a 3 to save their lives and the patch made it easier. This will def. be patched because it to unrealistic, people like D-wade,Derriclk Rose and Russel Westbrook can dropp 4 or 5 3s on you like nothing. I mean one guy i played took 13 3s with Kobe and 7 with shannon Brown...

[1l2nb]

2k12 is gay as hell

[leggoleggo1]

I love when he says " Tear That Up" :)

[keazy26]

Oh and the slow motion shot contesting

[keazy26]

You need to address Ronnie 2k on that little blue light under your feet...talk about that shit......address the fake fouls....and the bad passing....the patch that mad online worse....they swung and missed with 2k12...2k11 was better minus the hopstep and spin moves......talk about the CPU hittin errthing.....talk about the bugs period...fuck online....the game is borderline trash

[keazy26]

purp u fake as shit...you know that shit is fake but your prolly hitn em all day so why would you care..........all of yall are dick ridn ass niggaz........keep it real wit yaself if you cant do that...how can you be real wit me

[shoneym517]

niggaz be cryin cuz we hit all 3'z...get offline den...dont get made cuz u didn't choose ur parentz!!!

[nigel36r]

everybody and their mommas have a 3 point icon next to their names.

[ThaGreatCJ]

Keep up the vids bro..Always good insight

[antibrotha]

Man the computer make every body door like larry bird. Derek harper hit 8 threes on me fake as hell

[demass216]

church

[jkblackburn1911]

man people like u make da gameplay boring n wack...just shoot 3's...its caused abusing exploits bro...how do u find just shooting 3's fun...isn't what we gamers complain about is how certain games are unrealistic...shooting 60+ percent from 3's with D on u...come on man...u sound like a solid bball fan...so I'm surprised ude even post this flaw in the game out...it jus encourages more boring games...i wanna block layups, steal passes, dunk and get dunked on, see dribble moves...n etc...

[jkblackburn1911]

@jkblackburn1911 only positive thing from u pointing this out is that when too many people start abusing it, 2k will fix it:0

[thebingandbongshow1]

Nigger!

[sxyjavon]

@thebingandbongshow1

I thought racist were an extinct species. Fuck are u doing still alive?

[NoName1325]

the game knows it's got some fucked up three point shooters. Jeff Green is on my team and he shots around .770 from deep. The top 5 in the league are all over .550 percent. That's not even realistic.

[NoName1325]

I always shoot threes on fast breaks. The far left and the far right seem to hit the most. They hit more than open jumpers it's fucking weird.

[JustINformU]

The online gaming is hot ass, I've stopped playing and thinking about selling it on ebay

[llouldeng]

3pt shots r decent. Why r so many noobs commenting here & on forums like they knw wtf ther talking about?

1) Making OPEN shots is a GOOD thing

2) If you can't contest shots, that is on U. Quit playing that gimmick zone D (rare in the real Nba), quit using broadcast cam if u cant see shit.

3) Play on-ball D

2K12 is BRAND NEW. Learn the game in & out before you b*tch.

Ya'll noobs need to step your game up & practice instead of acting yer a master at the gm and it's the gm's fault

[tallperson696]

@llouldeng play online

[uptemposystem]

@llouldeng How do you stop the Miami Heat then? It's pick your poison. I'd rather give up 3s than Lebron, Wade and Bosh dunking on me. No way I would ever play man to man against them with on ball d.

[Num1priority]

2K12 is rubbish !

[XspaceGraphicTuts]

i really like your videos keep em comin'

[paki123]

they fix the servers yet? I might be getting the game sometime soon.

[dontsay10]

I notice to man.. Why does everybody have a 3pt icon like Mike Conley he is not a 3pt shooter...

[ShakeDown2012]

No doubt MP... I've got a 68 pt gameplay with Bird, can't remember but I'm sure it was more than 12 from down town.

[BigFootOwl]

Yo can you make a vid on defending yourself from steals or something along those lines..people be gettin mad steals on me,I mean like Andrew Bynum is stealing it from Westbrook or Deron Williams like nothin..not even a reach in call wtf...i play on HOF too.

[demontay3]

PURPLE JUS TOLD U WAT 2 DO PLAY MAN ON BALL D DATS DA BEST TYPE OF D DA BEST PLAYERS PLAY ON BALL D N I ROLL WIT DA LAKES BLACK MAMBA ALL DAY I'M STILL ON 2K11 GETN 2K12 SATURDAY MY RECORD IS 60-20 SWEAR GT AT ME XBOX360 LIL CALICO! PS3 LIL CALICO 504

[MaBn3]

I played a guy that literally snow bird and shot threes. He.shot 40 threes. Like seriously they need to change this

[MultiStodd]

hey Mrpurple0, thanks for the heads up with the 3 point shooting, i dont have the game... yet. But i just want to know if the servers are up cause if they are, i would possibly buy the game for xbox 360 so i can maybe join your league or even give you a friendly match. would like a reply thanks Mrpurple0. :)

[lebrontae23]

Yo its mrbossman2306 from xbox live my has been stolen so it may take me a while to replace it so if its possible i would like if i can be apart of da second tournament/league on 2k12 thanks

[hotsause1]

Jesus Christ Ray Allen is already a knockdown shooter, NOW HE MAKES EVERY SINGLE SHOT EVER CREATED BY THE HISTORY OF MAN!!!!!

[330Mellymel]

purp there are ALOT OF 3 POINT SHOOTERS

[bosshogg331]

The three pointers are a little easier but its not like you cant make changes in the game-sliders. i mean my god either play tuffer d or make changes. an as far as 2k11 goes i thought the three pointers in that game was to easy. O an don't forget alot of you guys are waiting on versus slider set anyway so stop bitching

[THEFOOTBALLFANATIC25]

Nice vid man

[Swagcessful1]

woooa der

[PostLikeHakeem]

Let's get a defense video mr purple

[Shazuma]

In my opinion this is the worst 2K game ever. It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep them from hitting the 3. It literally makes me not wanna play cause all anybody has to do is get a 3 point shooting team and its over.

[TheNewBrucefu23]

idk if its just me but i usually always use the indiana pacers and i made lots of 3s

[JReel17]

Im glad they boosted the 3s accuracy and hit percentage because in 2k11 when I play online, I play with Phoenix Suns and almost all my threes miss (i can shoot with everyone)....the shit is ridiculous man, theres no reason Nash should miss open 3s

[JReel17]

What I like about 2k12 is in my player, when I pass the ball to an open man, THEY ACTUALLY MAKE THE SHOT UNLIKE LAST YEAR, ITS GREAT¡!!!

[JReel17]

@sexhayjay: word they steal EVERYTHING smh

[23ogloc]

@DaTbeast215 no

[RicThomason1]

Not trying to be a dick but who died and made you the king and genius of NBA 2k?

[sexhayjay]

I think that 2k12 was built for so many turnovers . Its crazy

[MrChicagoToros]

What team hat is that?!?

[MrChicagoToros]

Sick ass name bar thingy next to the sub button!

[WrestlingGeniuses]

i have nba2k12 too.. i cant wait til the servers start working... my gamertag is "Whole Dam Show" hit me up on xbox 360

[PS3Snow]

Nice vid I'm looking forward to getting 2k12 soon and by the time I get it I hope the servers will be up and never be down ever again I'll keep watching ur vids

[JaYBLaZe7301]

thats crayyy i went 10-15 with paul pierce yesterday for 3 i knew u were going to make this video lol

[Alex44343]

I don't own the full version but I noticed in the demo that I was hitting 3 point shots like nothing and I think people will pick teams online like the Mavs,Magic and Knicks more this year cause of that.

[Tripplee22]

Every team is a three point team smh but I still play my inside game don't need it :D

[GangstaChief08]

rondo's stealing is crazy too..especially online

[kevoEnT]

agreed on that on the ball defense subject , on ice skates foreal lol

[ChillyCloth]

4:40 is that a fly?

[stankmaw]

Taking a 3 point shot on a fast break? Lol it's that easy? I have it on PS3 but havent even opened it yet..

[ChillyCloth]

so THIS is why Ray Allen is my favorite and most used player in 2k12...

[ShawtDawg240]

Purp i like ya vids but ill have to disagree with you on this one. I play 100% on ball d but the way the game let you defend the mid range and 3ptr is ridiculous. My defender seems like hes in quick sand or i can jump both hands up and they still hit the contested 3. Its an exploit rite now and Mike Wang is already on the forums saying that the team is going to patch it-so really it is a problem just like the hop step, euro step, spin dunk etc but this year its 3s. Cant condone cheese...

[MrPurple0]

@ShawtDawg240 I sed they should tone it down, but i have been locked down by someone defending the 3 well it can be done, but ur right the 3 point shot is kind of gimmicky, so they should patch it

[n8roketson]

@ShawtDawg240 whos mike wang



[crazyazndriver23]

The post system has gotten a lot better.

[Motivationn]

Almost everyone is a 3point specialist in 2k12 it's actually broken

[fudgyyy]

The computer hits everything in team up!!!!!

[stos5363]

it dont even matter if its 3's or 2's if you open that shit fallen lol

[MaBn3]

Three point friendly = NOOB FRIENDLY!!!

[megamrdaz]

thanks for this mr.purp... can you post vids for defense? its really hard to play on-ball D... what are your thoughts about this? thanks sir...

[XxKiiDAcExX1]

1@MrPurple0 yo purp wass GUCCI G i just wanted to know few things i dont know if you are familiar with the jumpshot feedback from last year but now i see in 2k12 that a blue light goes off under the players feet when a shot is taken does that play a part in the outcome of a shot?

2 in my player do u have to get a layup rating of 85 to do the j.crawford s&bake? thanks in advance ps great vids and NYC^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Kusanagi2014]

Can't wait till you post gameplay GET HYPE!

[iugoeswest]
