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?

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

Started a new association and sent someone down to the D-League at the beginning of the season and then simmed until next year, he went up to a 65 from 64.

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

I have a question about Weight Training Camp drills during the off season. Now that our players have an actual weight (at least in the create-a-player options and I'm hoping that actual NBA players now have an editable weight too) will their weight increase as result of the weight training? It says that 5% will be added to the player's weight and 7 points in strength. Could my player go from being thin and scrawny to a decently built player after a few years of weight training?

If so, that would be awesome.

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

It doesn't look like the D-League players progress during the season. I've simmed another 3 seasons and the players I sent down either went up or down a point while they were in the D-League. I don't know if actually playing the games will change anything since I'm just simming but right now it's not looking good.

edit: The only real regression I'm seeing is for injured players. Injured guys drop like 10-20 points, other than that no one is changing.

Damn that sucks, hopefully this is fixed with a patch.

If this is truly the case 2k needs to know about this.

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

Mo - what are the options for the number of games to run at the beginning of starting a new Association?

Also, can you save in-game at any point, or do you have to save between quarters?

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

Question about free agency. Last couple of years of the 2k franchise cpu teams were able to sign free agents even if they didn't have cap space. For example, Ben Gordon would become a free agent and the New York Knicks would be over the cap but somehow offer him a contract worth 10 or 11 million and sign him. Never understood how this happened but it always did and this is just one example. Could you check and see if this is still the case. Its kinda unfair if you can't sign a free agent when your over the cap but the cpu teams can. Thanks in advance.

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

Hey bro been reading this for about an hour thanks for the info. I got a few questions that kind of have been answered but I'm asking in more detail.

1) Do the contracts have a certain way of working?? For example in NBA 2k9, seems like every player rated 85 or higher that's under 30 years old was asking for a max contract. It also seemed that almost every that was rated 75-80 would ask for contracts that were worth around 6-8 million a year to come off the bench. Did they fix this?? Or is it now every player that is 80 overall is gonna ask for a max contract?

2) I saw prospects in some screen shots that were an rated in the 80's. Does this happen often?? Do players that come into the game usually whind up in the mid-high 90's or is it rare?

3)Are there finally rare stars who were drafted in the late first round/ second round picks?? Like do any of these players become great at all?

4) I doubt this but it'd be a nice feature. Are you allowed to create a team and bring them into the NBA as an expansion team? Once again I know this is most likely NO.'

5) Do some players/prospects get a really high rating and not do much?? In nba 2k9 I've had players rated from 90-95 and average like 8 ppg and 5 rpg... I think that's ridiculous, and they ask for max contracts.

6)to start the game off there are 4 players rated in the 90's and 39 rated in the 80's... 3 years into the game, how many 90's and how many 80's are there??

Ok man thanks, sorry for asking so much.

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

1. Is the championship celebration the same or better? How about reaching the finals? Is there any team celebration for that?

2. Do indivdual teams have a trophy case section, where you can view the championship trophies?

Thanks

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

Does every point guard play like chris paul (dominating the ball, best court vision, rarely shoot when they're a shoot 1st like AI), causing them to generate an insane amount of apg (therefore creating screwed stats in association)?

u might of overlooked this...

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

1. So if this year is like last year with so many coahces getting fired, what can we do about it? Us people that like to update their own rosters? Are we out of luck again?

2. While you are in the Draft Class portion of Association mode, they show an overall rating for those prospects BEFORE they get drafted. Now, does this overall rating remain the same for each player AFTER they get drafted?

3. Stats: Is there a tracker for individual player double doubles and triple doubles like Online Leagues had in 2K9?

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

Important question.
Last year everytime I played against the Lakers in my association, the computer would always have Kobe starting at the point and someone else play as SG, is this fixed cause it was the most annoying thing ever and made the Lakers not play like themselves.

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

More questions sorry.

1) It is said they have league leaders for every year and stuff, does it whind up erasing the older years stats as it goes by. for example all those leaders from the 70/80s, are they dissapearing the more you sim?

2) Do they have franchise records like franchise leaders in points, rebounds,assists and other categories. Last year they only had those stats for one game.

3) Do they give you a list of all career leaders so you can see where players stand? Like last year I saw over 5 people who beet Kareem's scoring record, Is there like a top 10 so you can see who are the top 10 all-time scorer's and stuff for other categories?

Refering to #2, if they do, their rating better better drop like a rock if they don't produce fairly soon.

The ratings of incoming rookies are way high. Blake is a 75 I think and he was clear cut #1 pick type guy (I know it was looked at as weak draft).
