How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

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

Not sure if this belongs in this thread since you guys were talking about Chicago, but I started a Wizards association with real 2kinsider's rosters/tendencies.

The only trades I've done so far:

Indiana gets
Javale McGee (C)
2011 2nd round pick

Washington gets
Roy Hibbert (C)

I wasn't liking McGee at all. He wasn't that good on the glass and his free throw line performance was subpar at best. Time to go McGee. I've been pretty pleased with Hibbert's performance thus far, although he has gotten into a little foul trouble lately.

Just curious but, could I have done better on this trade?

I guess I like it...but what's not to like with McGee. For me he's averaging 7 PPG, 11 RPG, and 2.5 BPG and I don't run any plays for him. He gets Pick 'n' Roll dunks and offensive rebounds is how he scores for me.

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

I got Amare back finally, which is great. He got injured at a horrible time in the schedule; I had like 9 or 10 games in 2 weeks. Worked out well, though. I only lost once to the Sixers, because apparently Iggy is as good of a shooter as Ray Allen. They were killing me with their screen game, too. But anyway, Amare's back, so I'm keeping Bass @ PF and starting Amare @ C. Bill Walker, Sean Williams & Roger Mason have requested trades, but I probably won't trade them. I like using Walker for little spurts.

Quick question: How do you determine who you are running plays for? I mean do you select a few PG plays (maybe some pick n rolls), then select a few SG plays, then a few PF plays? Or do you just base it on who is shooting well and who is shooting cold at the time?

I usually leave my playcalling on Auto, but I'll intervene if a particular player is cold...I'll start picking plays for anyone else but him.

How do you do it?

I run more for the better scorers (Wall, Young, Blatche) and will do a lot of pick 'n' rolls too. And yeah, if a player is cold I'll look to sub them out and usually don't give them the same amount of plays. But also, I just like to roam a lot. For a good portion, I don't run any plays and PnR and Isolations.

What do you do with Hinrich??? He's not getting it done.

He's shooting 8.5 PPG, 4 APG in 30+ MPG. Not what I want. Problem is, he's too old to have any value so I guess I'll just try to get what I can for him.

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

Need some help. Been doing a very good chise on the dynasty section. Would like to pull of a trade for my sonics. I already have a 3 team deal that will go through took me about 4 hrs. Was wondering what you guys would think. The Kings pulled off a huge trade at the start of the season for David Lee.

Sonics Get:
Dirk

Kings Get:
Marvin Williams
Hawks 11' 1st round pick

Mavs Get:
Carl Landry
Jason Thompson
Kings '12 2nd round pick
Nuggests '12 2nd round pick

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

Can anyone tell me the settings that they used for Association?

Like Season Length, if they have the D-League Games on, Team Chemistry, Player Roles (which is a hassle to me), Fantasy Draft etc.

I did 58 games, Play D-League Games off, Team Chem. and Player Roles OFF, Fantasy Draft Off, Quarterfinals best of 3, conference semi best of 5, conference finals best of 7, finals best of 7

Mav's wouldn't trade Dirk, unless they were getting a star in return, even then its questionable.


Anyway, back to my BUCKS association...

trade deadline 2 weeks away

I deliberated on a trade for an ailing Brandon Roy, decided ultimatley not to pull the trigger. I'm 25-20 ATM in my second season, and have just pulled of a couple moves to help improve my future cap situation.

I acquired Thaddeus Young last off-season on a 4yr $36mil deal, hes been playing out of his mind, leading the league in threes, so i want to keep him on. Plus I have to re-sign Brandon Jennings next off-season,

trade 1:
CHA recieve:
Maggette(75, 2yrs/$21.19m)
MIL recieve:
Boris Diaw(69, 1yr/$9.00m)

reasoning: Bobcats are 30-17, 4th in the east, Diaw was unhappy with his role behind Tyrus Thomas. They take on an extra year and $10mil in coreys contract for a legit scoring option(cats only have henderson, jackson, on the wing), so they can make push into the playoffs.


trade 2:
ORL recieve:
D.Gooden(70, 4yrs/$26.24m)
Malcolm Delaney(54, 1yr/$473k)
(rookie second rounder, acquired from Mavs in Dooling, Ilaysova, Barea deal)
MIL recieve:
C.Duhon(68, 3yrs/$11.06m)
Q.Richardson(67, 2yrs/$5.07m)

reasoning:I loved Gooden but 6mil a year for 4 years was too dear. Plus this frees up space for Sanders at PF. Q-Rich can come of the bench, or fill in during injuries. Orl get a solid C who can score in the block, rebound and defend when Dwight is out, a backup big they've need since the Gortat trade.

overview:
I save $22mil over 4 years. btw, stole ORL trade idea of realgm bucks forum.
Will have $12mil free cap next off-season(not including draft picks, plus we remain in playoff contention).


Lineup at trade deadline:

Jennings/Barea/Duhon
Salmons/T.Allen/M.Daniels/
Young/MbMoute/Q.Richardson
Diaw/Sanders/Brockman
Bogut/D.Jordan

Valanciunas is still getting preped in D-League

I'm prepared to let him walk in the offseason unless I can get him for dirt cheap. Wall went down with an injury, so I'll bring him off the bench and start Hinrich; hope he starts producing.

Blatche went down in the same game, 109-102 victory over Detroit. 7-1 in my last 8 games. For the next 2 weeks my roster will look like this:

Hinrich
Young
Thornton
Lewis
McGee
6th-Wall (hurt)
7th- Howard
8th- Jianlian
9th- Booker
10th- Martin
11th- Armstrong
12th- Hudson
IR- N'Diaye
IR- Blatche (injured)
D-League- Seraphin

Up next: 76ers, they beat me 106-95 earlier...trying to continue my hotstreak and get my revenge.

What injury sliders do you have yours set to? Curious.

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

What injury sliders do you have yours set to? Curious.

I had durability, injury frequency, and injury severity at 50 for about 8 games...no injures.

Now durability:48, injury frequency:51, and injury severity:52...I have seen 4 injuries in my past 3 games. Ray Allen, Zach Randolph, Andray Blatche, and John Wall. Allen and Blatche are out; Randolph and Wall are hurt.

How do you know they requested trades?
