Makes the game less fun because you can't follow logical actions you would take under certain situations because it's an automatic turnover now. (except Bynum banked in a 3 once).

You're 100% right as well. Meant to say those two modes. Most of the "regular" 5 on 5 bball game modes don't see it.

Those that started a new association mode, did you stick it out with roles/chemistry on, just chemistry on or both off.

I'd love both but roles have to go. Thing is I'd at least like chemistry but with roles off and chemistry on all players get better by 1-3 points and there are no declines except injury.

If I keep both off do players still progress in the off-season?

I was actually just testing this out last night because I am dying to get my Bulls association going.

I simmed a season and a half with Roles OFF Chemistry ON and another season and a half with Roles OFF Chemistry OFF.

Basically I saw what you had mentioned—with Chemistry ON everyone gets better 1-3 points with no declines. With Chemistry OFF, there were no constant increases and it seemed only guys with good potentials saw attribute increases in the offseason.

Some other things I noticed:

• Rookies got a lot more realistic playing time and production with chemistry OFF. With chemistry ON, John Wall was only averaging 13 or so minutes a game but was playing the most MPG of any rookie. With chemistry OFF Wall was averaging a little over 30 MPG and was averaging 15+ PPG and a few other rookies were getting significant playing time.

• There seemed to be a little more parity with Chemistry ON more than OFF. With Chemistry ON the best team in the league ended up being the Cavs with 63 wins. With it OFF the best team was the Jazz with 56. I'm not drawing any conclusions on this point though because I'd have to sim several seasons to really see if Chemistry had any affect on league parity or not.

So, it looks like I'll be going with Roles OFF and Chemistry OFF. Also turning CPU trades OFF because I saw the perfect amount of player movement in the FA period.

Thanks for the info.

At this point it seems both off is the best bet. I simmed a little yesterday and noticed because of the chemistry jump that almost all teams were rated above 80 now.

correct. 100% agreed with rspencer. with CPU trades on, you will see an insane number of trades every month. if you want some variety or movement, turn it on for a little bit like a few weeks maybe then turn it off.

I was really pleased with how FA turned out in my sim. A couple of big name players stayed with their teams, a couple went elsewhere. The biggest was that LeBron signed with the Clippers, which I found to be awesome (Kobe vs. Lebron... who owns L.A.?).
