Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

How was the Brand vs Bosh matchup?

Both of them were the best players on their team. Bosh had 24 and 13, and Brand had 20 and 14. Other than Brand no one really played that well for philly.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Is there a way to view your schedule as an entire month so I can see what I'm up against as a whole. I'm not liking having to scroll through the month in the simcentral vs. a calendar.

So far I'm playing Superstar mode with 10 minute quarters as the NJ Nets. 0-5 and have been blown out every game. I may drop down to All-Star difficulty or move the sliders even more than I already have.

Harris and Williams have played well for me and Yi has been great mid-range and on the boards.

I may drop the Coaches tempo down across the board for all the teams because some of this SIM scoring for non user teams is showing scores into the 120's and 130's.

I've turned trades off because it was just too much and too silly. I'll open the trading up with 4 days to go before the deadline.

They should put up a prompt when a trade goes down so we can act like a commissioner and approve or negate the deal. This would be a great feature.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

How does the scouting report work on this game? I had the Bulls, and I scouted Derrick Rose, Lebron James, and someone else, but I don't know how to view the reports, nor do I know when they are available to view.

Click the left stick (360), you now have access to their numerical ratings, rather than just the A/B/C type grades.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Once you've scouted the player you can go to the roster screen in your Management tab and push the right stick down and it will toggle between the letter value and the full blown numerical value. Each month the amount of scouting available recharges however I did not recharge on Dec 1 so I'm waiting to see if I will next month or if its a glitch.

Agree. That would be great. At least turning CPU trades ON/OFF at your discretion is a temporary solution.

How's Carter playing for you, and the rook Lopez?

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

So I am the Knicks. I put myself as starting PG with an overall 80 or so rating. (I just used a mixture of Duhon's and Mauberry's ratings.)

Thus far I am 0 - 2. Both games I have lost by around 20 points. The games start close, then someway the computer goes on a scoring run and it's all over.

Jamal Crawford and I are our leading scorers. Curry is good in the low post and I'm not sure what Quentin Richardson's strenghts are so I don't know how to use him. Zach Randolph is also pretty good, again though, I'm not sure about his skillset. Any tips would help.

I will stay at it though.

Like others said...As soon as you purchase the report the info is available. You just need to click the left stick to see the hard ratings.

Once you've scouted the player you can go to the roster screen in your Management tab and push the right stick down and it will toggle between the letter value and the full blown numerical value. Each month the amount of scouting reports available recharges however I did not recharge on Dec 1 so I'm waiting to see if I will next month or if its a glitch.

I wish I would've scouted my team (Suns), rather than using the 12 reports I had to scout the FA pool players.

And now that you mention it, I should have 12 new reports since I did all my scouting during the last couple days of October. My 1st gm wasn't till 11/1. I'll have to check that tonight, and turn auto-save off and do a little simming to see if something isn't working right.

If you're getting blown out like that then maybe go down a difficulty or make some heavy slider adjustments.

Q-Rich is a perimeter player w/ some slashing ability, but mostly good beyond the arc. Z-Bo is a back to the basket low-post player w/ a little bit of mid-range game. He's good for almost a double double most nights.

I think it states in the game, as it says above, that your scouting reports don't get recharged until DECEMBER 1st, and every '1st' thereafter. You won't get any extra on November 1st (much to my dismay, as I hired a new head scout on Oct 31st). I haven't gone far enough to see if this feature works or not, though I hope so!

Thanks...I remember reading the tip at the scouting menu, but couldn't remember everything it said.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

No worries, I saw the tip about 50 times, as I kept trying to sort the columns to decide who I wanted to scout in the FA pool. I was ready to turn the game off right then and there when I exhausted all of my options to get it to sort.

That's probably the biggest factor that led me to use all but one (Sweetney, FA) of my scouting selections on my own team (and now I'm glad I did!).
