Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

Ah, I'm using Real FG% so he's fine from deep with me. I only shoot when he's wide open so it's all good. I think we need to change Felton's sig shot. Not accurate at all. I'm still trying to find a good one for Chandler. Using Kaman's for Gallo like 2K10.

Re: trades, it's funny I'm finding when I go into the trade finder during the season the CPU is always trying to rip me off badly (just messing around I asked about Kaman and they wanted Amare and AR lol). But you can negotiate like crazy to get a better deal. Then when it comes to the draft you will get a dozen offers and most will be terrible but eventually you'll get a real sweet deal.

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

I hope those YouTube vids aren't horrible quality for you guys. At home they look great but at work they look terrible.

What are some thoughts on this:

Getting rid of Azubuike? He has some good ratings but I just don't have the minutes for him and Bill Walker outplays him. What is realistic to ask in return? I could let it ride as he only has a 1-year deal but I'd like to get something in exchange.

Rotation:
PG: Felton | Douglas
SG: Chandler | Mason | Azubuike | Douglas
SF: Gallo | AR | Chandler | Walker
PF: STAT | AR
C: Turiaf | STAT | Mozgov

Also if an injury happens I want to give either Landry Fields or Andy Rautins a look to see how they perform. I think Azubuike just has not place on the team.

Also I'm ready to annoint Mozgov as the starting center, even after one game. The Russian is a beast and I could use Curry as the backup.

If I package Turiaf and Azubuike, what should I expect in return? Honestly in 2K11 I did the trade finder and it's ridiculously easy. You rip off the CPU AI like none other.

I could trade them to a contender for a late 1st round pick. Any players I get in return will be 1-year guys who I'll put on reserve.

Thoughts?

You could send Turiaf and Azubuike to the Spurs for Tony Parker....they don't need him since they are content with George Hill, plus Azubuike could be their starting SG with Manu coming off the bench. That's what i'd try to do!!

now that I think about it, I might try it out!!

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

Curry is my top frontcourt backup, Mozgov's ratings are just too low, especially scoring near the hoop. Curry can rebound and get some cheap, Danny Manning-esque garbage buckets on putbacks. Turiaf works hard and gets baskets off sheer effort.

Co-sign. That's why I go with Turiaf & Curry. They're much better finishers than the rookie. I eked out a nail-biter over Cleveland last night because of Turiaf's putbacks.

What are the best quick-hitting plays for each position?

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

So glad to see this thread - so signed in only to give it some love. I'm still holding out hope for Carmelo (I chose him in that 2002 Draft over LeBron and also said he'd win a ring first - unfortunately my brother chose Dwayne Wade (who knew)) as long as we keep STAT, Randolph, and Gallo. I'll start my Association November 1st and then post here.

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

Galli is leading scorer what roster and slider sets are you guys using?
ALSO: I am only getting double digit points from Amare Galli and Randoplh how do I get everyone else involved?

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

I just started my franchise. I am using Nagster rosters. I started Randolph but he splits time evenly with Mozgov. Mozgov's length is just an asset I cannot ignore.
Amare is a beast and has impressive range for a big man. All offense runs through him when he is on the floor.
Felton - meh. I 'm sticking with him for now.
Gallo - a bit to streaky for my taste. But we rolling with him
Chandler - I have a love hate relationship with him. He's too inconsistent with shooting (hate) but he is acrobatic on the brake and around the basket (love).

Turiaf to me is most likely gone. That big stiff doesn't score and is virtually useless to me. Only saving grace is his defense - which my team is sorely lacking.

I'm using Rashidi's latest update with the 200+ edits. Raymond Felton is the only player I have a hard time getting points on the board with. Any advice would be helpful.

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

T-Doug is a beast for scoring in my game. I don't drive to the inside with him much, but I definitely catch him hitting 3s at a good rate. I play on HoF too. My roommate actually refuses to play with me when I use the Knicks.

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

I lost to the Bulls and I am 1-4 now. However I'm prob going to end up starting over because I started with the default and I want Fields and Mozgov and I heard the new update is supposed to help out the game. I'll keep you updated Assuming i dl the roster update that is

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

Kelenna Azubuike is sooo frustrating. His jumpshot is so hard to time correctly. If its from 15 feet or in he has a later release, but if you do a fade away or a 3pointer u have to instantly release his shot or else you are holding it too long.. He is horribly frustrating to use in my franchise because of his signature shot, its soooo hard to time right for me even 50 percent of the time.. and this sucks because he has a 89 rating for 3's and is a good young player.

-- for anyone who has watched him as a real pro could you suggest a better signature shot for him? i can't stand his shot in this game.

Re: NEW YORK KNICKS Franchise users!

also icant believe all the hate for toney douglas, i like him a lot at the pg, i traded felton earlier, and douglas plays big minutes for me... I suggest using the shotfeedback thing in the options so you can get his shot down.. he's a very good shooter for me and my pg for now and the future...
