The Association - What do you want to know? (2K10)

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

If you control all 30 teams in association mode, and set the distribution of mins for every team, does the CPU alter them after every Sunday just like in 2K9?

I'd like to know this as well.

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Are the All NBA, All Defense and Rookie Teams still G-G-F-F C, or are they 2G, 2F and 1 C/PF?

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Question for Mo: Has the asking price for the lower-level free agents been fixed or toned down? I would always get a tad bit frustrated in 2k9 when a guy like Dee Brown or Orien Greene would demand $2-4 million per year, when in reality they would be lucky to obtain minimum contracts. Has this been addressed in 2k10?

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

do teams like minnesota hold a draft rights of ricky rubio and can it be traded in the association mode?

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

In the MVP race, are there 5 players from different teams or are there multiple players from the team that is leading the league. This happened in 2k9

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

- Association or Season Q´s:

1. Are there still the same problems like last year individuals simmed stats (huge FG%, few RBS, lots of AST) ?
2. If so, is there any coaches FA pool (be it with real life unhired coaches and/or created ones) ?
3. Can we edit the created ones ?
4. Can we promote asistant coaches to coaches ?
5. Besides the FA pool, is there any Retirement pool where you can put the players that retire whitin the season, so they wont be consider as FA´s for the next season and we wont have to alter their ratings to avoid that (this could also be used to place the players that went to Europe with multiyear contracts) ?
6. Are there any weird simmed team stats (like PHI leading the league in 3pts made) ?
7. Can you post shots of the league leaders and the team stats ?

Does the playbooks and play style come with coaches. If you hire Mike D'Antoni will your team now run and gun ? Thanks

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Thanks again Mo, I asked these questions before but didn't really get an answer.

1. I was wondering if you could start a Franchise with Houston and tell me if Yao starts the season injured (Steve had a screen shot showing headlines to start the season and one said "Yao will be out indefinitely due to surgery").

2. If you sim through the year could you tell us T-Mac's stats and how much he demands in Free Agency? Basically, can we offer him low money because he's low rated or will he only take big money because he's a big name (assuming he's happy with his playing time)?

3. How does the D-League work? If we send players on our roster down there, do we still keep their rights, and do they improve while there?

4. What is the "Rumor Mill" about in association? Is it just "the trading block" or is there more to it?

5. Are a lot of teams handing out 10-day contracts and have you tried it?

Thanks again for the hard work!

1.) It says he is out indefinitely on the front page but he is active on the roster. I would assume that the first roster update will make it so he isn't active, so if you start an Association that message on the front page will actually make sense.

2.) McGrady's stat line for the season I just simmed is:

16.4 PPG
2.7 RPG
5.2 APG
1.3 SPT
2.5 TOPG
.412 FG%
.33% FG%
.73 FT%
33 MPG

He's asking for ~6 mil a year

Rumor Mill





I am not seeing ANY 10-day contracts being handed out by the CPU. I've simmed about 3 individual seasons with different teams and I haven't seen one yet.

I'm also not seeing any type of progression/regression in the D-League. Players will progress/regress when they come up but they don't seem to do anything when I send them down.

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Thanks a bunch Mo!!! The T-Mac info makes me VERY happy as 6 mil a year is a pretty big pay cut, and it seems as if he is willing to re-up with Houston on the cheap. However, those stat... atrocious. Looks like we won't be able to dominate with him this year.

I'm also not seeing any type of progression/regression in the D-League. Players will progress/regress when they come up but they don't seem to do anything when I send them down.

That really sucks, because that's the point in sending a player to the D-League. So they can get some playing time and improve their game.

I thought the point of sending them down was so that they progress. If they really don't, that sucks.

Did you sim a full season with ____ in the D-League the entire time?

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

I sent someone down and simmed an entire season, went to check on him and he didn't progress/regress. Then I realized he was 32 years old so I thought maybe that was why, but he should still regress at least, he shouldn't remain the same.

Tried it again with a 24 year old, sent him down and simmed to the ASG, haven't seen anything. I will keep testing to see what happens.

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Maybe the D league stops them from declining....or maybe its bugged

in sim games, do every player play in all games like in past versions or do teams only go 8-10 men deep?

[TheFiasco87]

Re: The Association - What do you want to know?

Do you notice any dynamic attendance, where for teams that struggle people don't show up, or people leave during end of game if it's a large deficit for the home team?

I'd like to know this as well
