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

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.

These are awesome questions!!!....Whats the word on these?

Disappointed about the D-Leauge progressions but it's nothing major.

Injured players. Injured guys drop like 10-20 points, other than that no one is changing.

Where is the drop coming from? It would be interesting to see all the drops come from their physical attributes and leave their skills quite close. So if Josh Smith suffered an ACL tear, he'd lose from Speed, Quickness, Vertical etc...

I don't have 2k10 yet, but I would imagine that what Mo said about injured players dropping 10-20 points is temporary like in 2k9. For example, let's say Kendrick Perkins (72 overall) gets hurt for 2 months. For those 2 months, his rating might just be in the 50's, but once he gets healthy, he'll be back to his normal 72.

Sorry if this was asked Mo, but how is David stern and MSG implemented in the draft?

thanks in advance.

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

my question has to do with the "signature styles" in the beginning of a game. say im playing with the cavs in my association. i heard that lebron and daniel gibson do their salute handshake in the begining!!! well my question is what will happen if daniel gibson gets traded, what will happen, will he do it with another player, or will it just stop???

From what I'm hearing and seeing from the association pictures, that is only in player mode, we still only get that same boring view from last year in assocation. But any clarification from the guys that have the game, would be greatly appreciated.

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

Is it possible to choose which teams you want to control after you start up Association mode? Say I choose to be the Celtics, but I see a team with a very good shooting guard sign another good shooting guard to an expensive contract or draft a future superstar at the same position. Could I take control of that team long enough to clear up their logjam while maintaining control over my original team, or will I need to save an extra game at the beginning of every offseason again?

Agree 100%. Maybe something for next year, injuries affect the relevant stats. eg: leg injuries affect speed/jump stats, whereas finger dislocations/breaks, or arm injuries affect shooting/stealing hussle stats. Something to look at maybe?

Of course, I was thinking of end of season progression. Nevermind

How are the weekly practices this year?

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?

This is something that I have had a great deal of interest in myself. That type of stuff can kill an association given the right situation. Hopefully you can get to this once you have the time, Mo.

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

D-League progression is fine, so before you go calling for a patch (without ever playing it mind you), consider these two things:

1) Progression happens in the offseason.
2) Sending any ole player down doesn't mean he will get better. The player needs to have potential, or more specifically, a ceiling he can reach. This ceiling can only be reached by getting him minutes (whether they be in the NBA or the D-League). Just because you send a player down to the D-League doesn't mean he automatically pops up next year rated 2-5 points higher. That would be silly.

When a player gets minutes, do they have to give a positive output for progression (good stats), or do they just need playing time?

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

Simballer or MO

Any word on dynamic attendance? Is it in the game?

A few of the guys here have asked about this in this thread + the other thred, but it seems to get missed.

Is it in the game?
