Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Playing w/ a fantasy draft until the season starts. 29 game season.

My lineup

PG: Stephon Marbury
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Josh Howard
PF: David Lee
C: Shaq

PF: David Bass
SF: Jason Kapono
PF: Joe Smith
PG: Roko Ukic
SG: Damien Wilkins
SG: Matt Carroll
SF: Mickael Gelabale
C: Roy Hibbert
PG: Jeff McInnins
SF: Bill Walker

I like this team alot, just played a game last night w/ them. Not really looking for Marbury to be a scorer. He makes nice passes, but can score when I give him a chance. Kobe is Kobe, gets nice double teams to leave others open. Shaq looks ten years younger getting a double double. Lee and Howard confused me. I got Howard knowing I got a good young player who can drive and give me a jumper when needed. I picked up Lee b/c he was the best rated PF left. Now, Lee is great for me w/ rebounds and against smaller PF's. Howard I have no clue how to get in the game. I'll see Kobe cutting or raiseing for the ball, Shaq putting his man down, Lee getting open b/c of Shaq, even Marbury going back door when he doesn't have the ball, but Howard just seems to be in another world.
Kapono off the bench is great, especially when I want to start a run, a three off a pick.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

So after beating the Pistons by 17, I almost have a letdown against the Knicks. I won on a layup with 5 seconds left. That game was pathetic too. To many turnovers and missed shots.

Now I play my former favorite team, and now the team I hate the most, in the NO Hornets. Should be fun, the game is being played in Charlotte.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

You guys are making me want to start an assotiation but I have to fix the screwed up rosters first. Can't wait to start one.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

I think I'm going to sim the first year and then use my Charlotte Bobcats in Year 2.

I like simming the first year so I can get into the offseason and draft/make moves.

I'm turning CPU trades off BTW.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Oh yea and I'm going to edit about 40 draft prospects to reflect what I see here...

Going to do the 2009 & 2010 when next season rolls around. It will take some time but will add so much to my Association!

EDIT: Nevermind haha. Did two guys and it took too long! I give up! Generic for me!

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Currently 12-5 (Suns). Shaq has picked it up a bit since the Amare injury, but still very inconsistent. Goran Dragic is really playing well. His last 3 games he has gotten 22pts 6asts, 30pts 8asts, and 19pts 10asts. I gave him more minutes once Amare went down.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

I am currently 2-0 with my Hawks. No trades made, as I have to play with the real rosters, it just doesnt seem right if I dont. I am loving playing with Mo Evans off the bench. He brings alittle of everything. The only problem is that Randolph Morris is not in the game so I am missing one of my big men. Joe Johnson is a beast, he hit the game winning shot at the buzzer in both games so far.

How can you stand to play with Dragic? The picture looks nothing like him. It bugs the hell out of me. I hope that gets updated or I'm going to have to trade him, lol. Speaking of, how do you edit player's appearance? Or can you not? I want to give Diaw his new fro, and I want to add goggles to STAT, but there are only options for headbands and what not and no apperance changing options. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Once I figuire all that stuff out, I'll be able to play my first game with the Suns.

Yeah a lot of people have had this issue. All you have to do is delete your settings and it should go back to normal.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

5-7 with the Bulls so far. I can't win a road game to save my life. I'm coming closer though. I was down to the Lakers by 20+ with 5 minutes to go and some how came back with the run of my life and lost by 2 points. Rose turned the ball over on the last possession with a bad pass. It was quite the game, lost the next game to the Blazers by 4. Hopefully i can pick up my first road W against Golden State.

I have never had this happen to me. When you say delete your settings, does that mean JUST your settings? What if you don't delete them? Will it keep happening over and over again?

Yeah all you have to do is delete your settings. If you don't delete them it will just keep happening even if you restart the game.

They already know about it and it'll probably be fixed in the first patch.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Anyone playing with the Nuggets? I'm just want to know because I have tried them about 3 or 4 times and it isnt easy to get Iverson and Melo going at the same time. I know one will do well and the other will struggle but never dominating at the same time, but this could just be me. I havent started a franchise yet, won't until 360 gets fix now but when I do ill probably use my favorite teams the Blazers or the Sixers.
