Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Hmmm... with your last point about Wall, looks like I'll be editing player roles and minutes and all that in general settings before playing Association.

Yeah but when I simmed it before, he won RotY, avg. 17 ppg. Dont know what happened now

In 3rd season there was just 2 trades, and no FA singnings... There was like 10 FAs above 70 ovr (Antawn Jamison). I`ll have to play 30 teams assoc and just sign them

Now watching game 1 of Western Conference 1st round - Clippers @Kings (Melo in Kings, with Tyreke, Cousins and 2year pro PG Carl Fisher (75ovrl, 12ppg, 6apg)), and Kings are killing Clippers In 1st Q Kaman with 3 fauls and Aminu with four and they still playing lol

Hmm... odd.

Hope the trades and FA signings gets patched.

GO KINGS!!! LOL

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I'm currently running with the Hawks (2-0). I didn't want to sit thru seasons of mediocre play just to build a winner. I think the Hawks are one or two pieces away from contending.

I want to move Joe Johnson (averages 5ppg right now) but that contract holds me down. I really don't need him because I have Horford/Smith dominating the inside and midrange game and Bibby/Crawford knocking it down from outside. I need a center so that I can move Horford to the four and Smith out to the 3.

I may try to keep Johnson and try to package something for Shaq and look forward to FA and the draft to find my ideal middle man.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

In the halftime report (3rd season)there was no highlights from best players... that sucks...

I edited Utah Flash`s players age, and they were replaced by few FAs and rookies I suppose...

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I am 1-1 with the Nuggets having a blast, My loss came in OT to utah one of the best games i have ever played, Carmelo hit a 2 to send it to OT then in OT last possesion they double teamed Carmelo and I wasn't expecting the AI to be so smart and I shot it with two players on me and yea shot went of. I haven't made any trades or moves, I'm thinking I can win it all with this roster.

Thanks for the info! So there weren't many trades/FA picks up during your seasons in Association? I was hearing this yesterday. That is disappointing.

Did you get any offers for trades?

How has Evan Turner done/progressed?

I didnt get any trade offers, there was no FAs signing accross the league for 4 years. Nowitzki (75 ovr) was FA Maybe there was single trade in one season. Turner left 76ers after rookie contract and sign big deal with Cavs. But they still struggling

There is option to edit draft classes, names, apperances, everything. I like that rookies have random accesories, shoes, tatoos, not like in NBA 2k10.

Lebron get 4 straight MVP awards, then Rose get one and then Lebron again after signed new deal with Heat (140mln$/4years) when he was 30 years old Same Bosh - re-signed with Heat. In 2015 or 2016 Durant signed with hopeless Mavs

I like that rookies are doing their job They progress (not all of them offcourse), they playing a lot, and RotY has mostly a very good stats (i. e. 19ppg, 10rpg, 1.5 bpg)

I dont like players morale, and roles. Had a rookie (82ovr), 32 mpg in his debut season, his morale was 0 cause his role was prospect not starter. When I get my X360 copy I will turn it off for sure. The trade finder is great tool, but sometimes offers are really odd

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I am 3-5 with the Pistons so far. In the first few games the injury bug hit with Rip and Jerebko getting ankle injuries they could play through. I tried to rest Rip during his injury but then Gordan went down in game 4 with back spasms. He's due to be back in a week or so. I just got beat by Portland in the first game of a my 4 or 5 game West Coast road trip. Brandon Roy is a beast!

I am loving this game so much, it's the most realistic sports game I've ever played.

What was Evan Turner averaging? Do you recall?

That's disappointing now FAs signigns or trades were made during the season...hmmmm

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Dont remember his stats, but in his 5th or 6th year he was playing in All-Star game, so I suppose he was really good

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Along with evan turner...I simmed ahead and John Wall left Wizards after rookie deal and signed huge contract with the Pacers lol...Very good fit for them, and they ended up trading Darren Collison which was cool to see. Simmed more, and saw Lebron left to the Mavs(after winning only 1 title in Miami lol) And they won back to back championships with him has Finals MVP both times!

Rookies def do progress...my only worry is player roles and morale. I think i'll play with player roles off and prolly team chemistry off as well. CPU doesn't change the roles correctly imo and it screws up morale big time.

Oh yah, Wall ended up being like 94ovr

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

2-1 With the Bulls right now. I traded away some picks and Ronnie Brewer for Xavier Henry. One thing im noticing is that the shooting percentages are quite low Im getting around 55 rb's a game and Noah is averaging 16.5 and Boozer 13.0.

Im playing on pro/sim and the cpu is pretty tough. The only game I lost was the game I played on all-star/sim in which the cpu came back from 24 down to beat me by 2. Loving this game

Anyone know how to get shooting percentages a little higher. Im usually around 42% in games I win and the cpu around 38% I would like to see these be higher. Any suggestions?

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Strated with Lakers and kept roster as is.

Then I did the Celtics: so I can rebuild while contending

Starters:

PG: Rondo
SG: Allen
SF:Pierce
PF:KG
C: Perkins

6th: Beaubois- Traded Nate to Dallas for chemistry purposes
Rest of Bench:
J. O'Neal
Shaq
Davis
Daniels
Elliot Williams: traded Delonte to blazers
Paul George: signed A.I. then trade him to Indy for a good prospect could be a future star
Scal
A. Bradley: D. League

I want the Celtics to be a running team once Allen/Kg/Pierce retire. Aiming for Rondo to wim 1 league MVP

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

So, I think I accidentally made The Bucks into a powerhouse, and here's how...

Brandon Jennings refused to resign with me at the end of his contract, he ended up signing some huge 5 year deal with the Jazz, he now plays SG opposite Deron Williams in Utah..

Alright, so I think i'm screwed, and I was.

Our starting lineup was in shambles, our only bright spot was Andrew Bogut and a rookie PG I drafted with the 3rd pick after trading some players and my 2nd round pick to the Raptors.

I took Tracy Payton out of UNLV. Yeah, name sound familiar?

So I come into the season with Payton at the point, Bogut at C, and another exciting prospect at PF, Jimmie Eppins.

We finish with one of the worst records in the league, winning only 28 games. Bright spot is Tracy Payton averages 22.1 PPG with 4.2 assists, wins rookie of the year and made the all star team.

We get the first pick in the draft and take SG Howie Lawrence from UW who comes in at an ourstanding 81 overall. I think cool, we have some set pieces for the future, little did I know the future was now..

I see we have money to blow in FA, I pick up 83 overall Wesley Johnson and 74 overall 3 point bomb threat Marcus Thorton to be the 6th man, and Manu Ginobili for a veteran precense.

Our starting lineup going into the season looks like this..

PG: Tracy Payton (81 OVR)
SG: Wesley Johnson (83 OVR)
SF: Howie Lawrence (82 OVR)
PF: Jimmie Eppins (81 OVR)
C: Andrew Bogut (83 OVR)

6th Man: Marcus Thornton, Manu Ginobili

Our team chemistry is at a measly 7%, it's a brand new team, but we shock the world! We win 59 games, an over 25 game improvement over last season, and Scott Skiles wins coach of the year.

We have the best record in the East and are the number 1 seed. We storm through the playoffs all the way to the finals where we have to face Kevin Durant and the Thunder. It goes all the way to game 7, at OKC..

Who would have expected this young team of thrown together (good) talent would have had the number 1 seed in the East, and rampage there way all the way to the Finals? Either way, we were there and we loved it.

Kevin Durant came out on fire, finishing the first half with 18 points, but our star PG would not be outdone, he finished the half with 16 points and 5 assists. The Bucks led 48-46 at the half.

Durant did all he could to keep his Thunder team in the game, but the second half proved to be too much for him and the Thunder. Marcus Thorton came off the bench and provided just the spark that the Bucks needed to pull away. He came in and delivered 24 points, 10 strait at one point in the third and that allowed the bucks to pull away with a 101-88 victory.

PG Tracy Payton was MVP of the game, 26 points and 10 assists.

Marcus Thorton was on fire and finished with 24 Points

Howie Lawrence had 12

Bogut finished with 10 and 10

And the Bucks are your 2014 NBA Champions!

Did I accidentally create a dynasty here? None of these guys are going to retire anytime soon, and as long as they don't get greedy and want to test free agency, this could be the first of many NBA Titles for this group

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I love it! Bogut needs bigger numbers though! :s
