How to unlock the Shooting Star achievement in NBA 2K12 - Definitive Guide

Excellent guide by Yellow Screams, but I wanted to expand on it a little. Here's a little trick you can do to make it alot easier as well. Before you create a CAL, you want to adjust the rosters on your NBA2K12, minimizing all the players attributes. It took me about a week to do this, but I'll share my roster (HAPPY HOLIDAYS):

go download my roster "min attributes roster" Every player on every team is minimized completely, height reduced to 5'3", abilities changed to poor (dribbling, shooting, etc.) and on shot tendency minimized all shots to "0" except for 3pt shots, I made it a 99 (this will make all players basically shoot nothing but 3s, and their attribute for that is minimized). You'll see 3 maxed out players on the Jazz, I traded those to the Bobcats. Now, I started a CAL using Tyreke Evans on the Bobcats. Easy Easy!

Question though, you can't simulate any of these Legend games? o_O Dear Lord I hope so. I doesn't appear to allow me when I go to the schedule.

The absolute best solution ever. I did not play a single full game.

You have to go to 2K Share and select Download. From there you should be able to find the roster, just search by gamertag, enter my gamertag, and it'll show up. Just make sure you load it and save it over the original roster once you've downloaded it.

Adding this for a easy way to get Shooting Star. This is how I did it:

1. Choose anyone of your liking (I picked Dwight Howard because he can score and get rebounds, better for the MVP.) Go into the menus and into the rosters to update all his stats to 99.

2. Take out anyone over a 80 on your roster. I went as far as taking out every single center over 70 just to be sure.

3. Put your player on a team that doesn't have a'lot of rivals. I did Charlotte, as their only rival is the hornets but keep in mind you also have key games against other star players at your position, so that would mean you have to play a few more games, nothing major tho. Maybe the raptors could work? Idk.

4. Go to the rotations menu, and put your players minutes to 48. Just so he plays about every minute.

5. Start your CAL, put the simulation time to 12 mins and the other one to 5 mins, meaning you will play only 5 mins. Simulate, playing only key games, and there should be no competition, and you should get your achievement. When i did mine i ended up having to actually play about 8 or 9 key games.

6. Also if you do not want to play the key games just start it up normally and once your in the game hit the back button to intentionally foul out( takes 6 times to foul out)

Hope this helps everyone, and if any problems arise, just let me know!

Good Luck!!

Excellent guide! Very helpful.

I also thought I'd share a way to help speed things up a little bit. First off, definitly go with Dwight and Charlotte. Before starting up CAL change the rosters so that Al Horford (Atlanta), Joakim Noah (Chicago), and Kevin Garnett (Boston) are all on the New Orleans Hornets. You'll then want to move Nene (Denver) and Al Jefferson (Utah) to the Lakers with Andrew Bynum. Doing this will result in only having 4 key games all season.

It also wouldn't hurt to lower the ratings of LeBron, Wade, and Nowitski to remove any MVP competition.

The easiest way I found to do it is to just choose Lebron since he'd have a pretty good shot at winning it anyways. Then use whatever skill points you have to increase his free throw shooting attribute and then increase whatever you want after that. After his free throw is at a 99 he will easily average 40+ points a game so just play the key games and you should easily get the achievement

This achievement is easiest with someone like Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, or LeBron James.
Leave simulation quarters to 12 minutes, as you will be simming to the next key game for this achievement

*Easier Method*
1. Choose anyone of your liking (I picked Dwight cause he can score and get rebounds, better for the MVP.) Update all his stats to 99
2. Take out anyone over a 80 on your roster. I went as far as taking out every single center over 70
3. Put your player on a team that doesn't have a lot of rivals. I did Charlotte, as their only rival is the hornets
4. Go to rotations, and put your players minutes to 48. Just so he plays almost every minute. Although it may go down throughout the season
5. Start your CAL, simulate, play the key games, and it should be no competition for you, and you get your achievement
(You should edit rosters before starting this mode, for whatever postilion you play trade all players above a 77 to one team on an opposite conference team. Also any superstars should be traded to a team on an opposite conference. This should limit your key games with the Bobcats to 6 or under).
