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

On paper those trades look terrible, but I guess if it fits for you...

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

Are you guys seeing crazy parity, especially in the East? Maybe its just the strength of the West, but only the Heat and Magic have won 2/3 or more of their games.

The Bulls won 58 games, the Heat, Hawks, Celtics, and I believe Magic all won at least 50 games or more too for my association season1.

Just won the championship in my franchise

Congrats.

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

I truely feel something is wrong with this game or it's just completely random and it doesn't take into account team ratings, player ratings, etc.

I play as the Wizards and my record is currently 7-7. I beat the Lakers and the Heat in back to back games (yes i know unrealistic but they were very close games), but yet I had 3 straight losses against the Kings, Warriors and TIMBERWOLVES? Are you joking? The Wolves are the worst in the conference and they have 1 player that is 80+, the rest aren't even in the 70's in ratings.

I just don't understand. I use the same sliders for all these games but yet these weak teams obliterated me. I'm not even talking about close wins, the Timberwolves beat me 115-90. Ridiculous.

Not sure if you do this but what I do is before each game, I check the opposing team's stats and player stats and from there I use the coach profiles and defensive settings to compile a game-plan against them, sort of like a "scouting" report. E.G, they're in the bottom third for defensive rebounding, I would have the crash the boards setting at very high (even though OR rebounding is broken). Or if they're say in the bottom third for blocks, I would set my attack basket and inside/close shot to very high as they wouldn't have much ability to change shots. Another example would be if they have a poor 3pt percentage, I would sag off and have defensive pressure at very low and force them into putting up bad 3pt shots. I think it really helps and because I play a 29 game season, it makes each game feel even more important. Try it and see how it works..

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

Back to my original Nets Association.

After 3 games with Corey Brewer, the Nets went 1-2. That doesn't mean Brewer was to blame though. The two losses were both close with one being in OT against the Hornets who have been having a horrible season thus far.

Corey Brewer isn't that great offensively, but his defense is very good with his size and length. Much better than Travis Outlaw, in my opinion. I'm looking to keep Brewer for the future and develop his shooting.

Nets are now 8-7. Next up is their river(soon to be city) rival - the Knicks.

Unrealistic. You need to give up way more.

SG Ginobili | Nick Young
SF Wes Johnson | Donte Greene

what do you mean ? They accepted it, so i am asking if it's good move or not

Lol wow! Very good move then.

They really accepted Korver for Wallace straight up?

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

Knicks Association. I created myself (as a solid defensive center) and stuck myself in there. I was doing pretty well, I believe 4-4 and then I made a trade for another created player (I actually didn't know he'd be imported but he was), dishing out Chandler and Felton for this guy Jevon Banks (expy of a friend of mine. I created my whole high school team) and I''ve caught fire. Dropping 110 a game. I need a better d, but I'm still learning. Amar'e is a BEAST. He scores pretty much at will, but he really makes Gallo and Azabuike better and I'll get about 30 a game between the two of them. Gallo had one huge night where he put up 50. I love this game.

There has to be something else that we don't know about.

Trade override on?

Korver got a ratings boost from the user?

Something. If not, that's by far the worst trade that I've seen.
