How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

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

NJ Nets, about to start year 2.

Traded for Melo last season, in exchange for Favors, Murphy, 2 first round picks (one of them was Houston's pick). Also received Raja Bell in the deal from Utah. Forget what Utah sent to Denver.

I snagged the sixth seed in a weak east with a 14-15 record, but was swept by Miami.

Roster as of now looks like this.

72 OVR Brandon Knight, PG (1st round pick, 8th overall)
74 OVR Arron Afflalo, SG (FA signing, 2 years 8 mil [part of MLE])
93 OVR Carmelo Anthony SF
85 OVR Josh Smith PF
84 OVR Brook Lopez C

Bench-
74 OVR Marcus Camby C
71 OVR Jordan Farmar PG
70 OVR Kris Humphries PF
68 OVR Anthony Morrow SG
68 OVR Joey Graham SF
63 OVR Reggie Evans PF (not in rotation)
58 OVR Mike James PG (not in rotation)

To get Josh Smith, i dealt Devin Harris, Kenyon Martin (who I had signed in the offseason to be my starting PF, but that changed) and two first round picks in a three way deal that also got me Joey Graham from Cleveland.

To get Camby, I dealt Raja Bell and Brad Miller (who I had acquired last season), a 2nd rounder and 1st rounder. Love this deal because Camby is an expiring 9 Million, but also a very good backup center.

You might wonder where I have all these first round picks...what I did was (to mirror real life) force the computer to trade me first round picks that the Nets currently have the rights to in real life. Right now, I'm left with my own first round pick for '12, and a second round pick for '13.

Team is rated at 82 overall.

Nice. I got all the picks like they did in real life as well. My team's only rated 78, but that's because I just did the Melo trade and a trade for Corey Brewer and signed free agents. And the rookie I drafted was Jared Sullinger who's rated a 64 in the draft class I downloaded (everyone's overall was low).

Blah scratch that. I can't play Wizards..just miss my warriors too much. Made a new association with them.


Curry/Sessions
Ellis/R. Williams
Batum/Carney
Aldridge/Udoh
Varejao/Udoh

Not sure about Curry and Ellis yet. I might trade Monta for a catch and shoot SG.

Which one did you use? I used the Mario's one (Ps3). Didn't really do any research into which class was best so I just chose what I saw. But it came out realistic IMO.

Corey Brewer was a guy I was trying to trade for...Since I had Melo as my scorer I was looking for a perimeter defender and he had an A- PER D rating. Instead I wound up trading for Raja Bell (same PER D) in season 1.

Arron Afflalo wound up fitting the mold for me in the offseason, Bell's took a hit in progression.

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

Ok, so I came up with a nice idea to do a 29-game fantasy franchise. Decided to do serpentine, and took the Mavs with the 9th pick.

My starting 5:

PG Derrick Rose/Derek Fisher
SG Leondro Barbosa
SF David Lee
PF Ron Artest/Luis Skola
C Randy Turiaf

I actually just lost my first game however, at home to the Kings. I'm rated an 83 overall, they were rated 81. We lost 108-91. The Kings had Amare and Jrue Holliday, which was enough to absolutely murder me. Jrue Holliday is fast as hell, he kept blowing right by Derrick Rose.

Rose finished with 11 points and 13 assists, so he did decently. Ron Artest went 17-7 and David Lee went 20-5. I'm hoping for some more rebounds from them.

Hopefully I can make the playoffs and have some fun with this team.

Season1 [as] Mavs (All-30 Teams) Association:


So again....to recap my current Mavs playoff matchup: Dallas is once again looking down the barrell of a round 1 exit, and having finished w/ the best record in the league, to only be sitting in an elimination game in round 1, I find oddly realistic...but very disappointing.

Season1 [as] Mavs (All-30 Teams) Association:

Dallas got their ish together and put together wins in game 6 and 7 of the first round vs Utah.

Scores:
Gm1: Utah 99 - Dallas 107
Gm2: Utah 105 - Dallas 100
Gm3: Dallas 99 - Utah 86
Gm4: Dallas 105 - Utah 109
Gm5: Utah 110 - Dallas 100
Gm6: Dallas 123 - Utah 94
Gm7: Utah 90 - Dallas 95

Qtr Finals Matchups:

WEST
#1 Dallas vs #5 OKC
#2 Lakers vs #3 Spurs

EAST
#1 Chigcao vs #5 Atlanta
#3 Orlando vs #7 Charlotte

In the West, Denver lost 4 games to 1 to the Thunder, not suprising, and the only West matchup that saw the lower seed move on.

In the East however, the Bobcats upset the Heat after falling into an 0-3 hole. The Bobcats battled back, and it looks like Gerald Wallace must have given Lebron some trouble because in games 6 and 7 Lebron was held to 12 and 17 pts respectively.

Another upset was the #3 Celtics losing to the #4 Hawks. Atlanta won games 3 and 4 & 6 and 7 to clinch the series. Should make for an interesting ECF...

Playoff Leaders:
PPG: Kobe 43.0, Durant 35.8, Dirk 30.1
RPG: D12 12.0, Duncan 11.5, G.Wallace 11.1
APG: Deron 11.6, Kidd 11.1, Rondo 10.1

I want to know why people do 30 team association and Just playing as one team . How do you do you do trades,offseason, etc

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

Jesus has Aldridge always been this garbage? :/ Should've kept Lee.



Won my first game against Clippers 104-97. Monta (7 assists, 5 steals) and Steph (9 steals) had 33 points each.

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

1-0 with Chicago. Traded Deng/Gibson/ two 1st rounders to Minny for Beasley and Darko.

Traded CJ Watson for Illyasova and James Johnson for Nick Young

Nice team right there, but I don't think you have enough big men to backup the starters

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

I have Gadzuric and I put Carney at 4 sometimes for small ball

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

Last night my Wizards lost to Chicago 97-96 due to a buzzer beater 3 pointer from Derrick Rose. I was piiissssssssssssssssed. The crowd went wild, and I went home with my tail tucked between my legs.

What a frustrating game. I was doing so well too. My record is now 4-3.

Some stats:

John Wall: 21PPG, 15APG, 1 Steal
Rashard Lewis 29PPG, 6-9 from beyond the arc, 7 RPG
Roy Hibbert 14PPG, 12RPG, 4 Blocks

Derrick Rose owned me like a little school girl, and Noah vs Hibbert was a good matchup. Was a fun game, just a frustrating one.

I used DaRebirth's (PS3). He made ones for 2011, 2012, and 2013.

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

I do it because I like all the control...setting the rotations and everything. For example D'Antoni keeps an 8-man rotation, he won't do that unless you make him. I like doing the trades too. If people are unhappy or not producing, I make realistic trades. For example, I traded Tracy McGrady to the Spurs because Richard Jefferson went down for the season. Jermaine O'Neal was unhappy (with PT) is Boston, so I traded him back to Indiana.

The offseason, for free agents I get a few teams that would *realistically* offer the player contracts and then lets the player choose. For example, I would have the Nuggets (maybe), Nets, and Knicks all give Carmelo a contract and then let the CPU decide where he plays.
