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

Just done beating the Pistons on my first game as a Nets. 95-78.

Starters:
PG: D. Harris - 11 pts, 9 ast, 2 stl
SG: A. Morrow - 15 pts, 4 ast
SF: T. Outlaw - 9 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast
PF: T. Murphy - 12 pts, 10 reb
C: B. Lopez - 21 pts, 12 reb, 2 blks, 3 ast

Bench:
PG: J. Farmar - 3 pts, 4 ast
SG: Q. Ross - 2 pts, 3 ast
SF: P. George - 15 pts, 3 ast, 2 reb
PF: D. Favors - 10 pts, 8 reb, 1 blk
PF: K. Humphries - 3 pts, 4 reb

I found out that playing the Nets is alot harder than the Cavs. The Cavs isn't as bad as it looks in the papers, but the Nets need alot of work.

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

looking to move elton brand for a more atheletic PF. any suggestions? not looking to spend a ton and only need a one year move. will get one in draft (should be a lottery team) cause i am STRUGGLING. wanna keep iggy and build with him and turner. brand is getting upset early and isnt really my type of PF.

How about Jason Thompson of the Kings or J.J. Hickson of the Cavs?

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

I've won my first two games. An OT win over the Griz and a 6 point win over the Bobcats. Wall got 7 steals vs. the Bobcats. I added Arron Afflalo and Chris Andersen for Ronnie Brewer, Cartier Martin, and a 2nd rounder in 2012 (Hawks). Afflalo is a better shooter than Brewer, which is what I needed. Taj Gibson and John Wall are my only 20 point scorers. Wall is averaging 18.5 APG because of my pick and roll based offense. Rashard Lewis is shooting about 30%, but he is a terrible ball handler. I have Josh Childress, though.
Here is my lineup (Suggestions of someone to trade for please
C Javale McGee/Udonis Haslem/ Chris Andersen
PF Taj Gibson/Boris Diaw/ Rashard Lewis
SF Josh Childress/ Rashard Lewis/ Damien James
SG Arron Afflalo/ Josh Childress/ Goran Dragic
PG John Wall/ Goran Dragic/ Sherron Collins

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

My team is losing figured it was andre miller and stoudemires fault.

Ended up putting andre miller stoudemire and landry fields in trades and my 1st round and i edned up with

Wesley Johnson, Evan Turner and Derek Fisher

STAT is a monster for me, he's great on the pick and roll and can hit the midrange jumper with ease. Probably my favorite player on the game. Well him and JJ redick coming off a screen for 3

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

Amazingly, I STILL have yet to start an Association. With all the uncertainty around where Melo will be, I am finding it hard to commit to starting up with the Nuggets.

I was thinking of going with the Thunder, and perhaps also running with the 76ers.

I do have a custom Association going, where I've put 2 Bulls classic teams (85-86, 95-96) and all the other in-game classic teams into Association, subbing out teams like the Kings, Nets, Raptors, etc. I'm using the 1990-91 Lakers and am 5-1 so far, playing a 58-game schedule.

Magic Johnson is an absolute joy to use in this game.

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

Just won the championship (Celtics) in my first year. Beat the Lakers in 6, very fun series ending in a surprising blowout. I'll take it. Finals MVP was Rondo.

Notable Retirees
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
Don Nelson

Hall of Fame Inductions
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash

Sucks that Kidd and Nash are both gone from my Association, but oh well. The Hall of Fame feature is a pretty cool touch.

Now the offseason starts, which should be really fun as I am controlling all 30 teams. I'm gonna have to rebuild the Nuggets and Suns for sure, and I'll let the CPU control Melo's destiny after I make the same offer to him with the Knicks and Nets. As for the Celtics, I am hoping to retain Perk, Big Baby and Delonte but I only expect to be able to keep 1 or 2 of them. I'll let Daniels go, even though I like him. I want more of a shooter behind Pierce next season. I may also look to deal Jermaine and/or Robinson, but we'll see.

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

Played about half my season as the Celtics and Lakers. Both ended up in the Finals. Lakers swept the Celtics (won the first 3 games by a total of 6 points and blew them out in game 4). Went through the off-season, got to training camp, and Big Baby was injured during training camp and I can no longer advance to the next season, so I'm about to just start playing online I think and maybe give Madden a try because I'm so frustrated

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

stat is a monster but he kept getting injured on my team, same with andre miller. Id figure id cut my losses and trade them away

How about Jason Thompson of the Kings or J.J. Hickson of the Cavs?

If u like some size and physical stre, try glen davis of the celtics. Hes awesome, my first year association i set him as my sixth man and he ended up winning it. Guy likes to do backdoor cuts or straight through mid cuts and i just feed him with my pg. Likes to draw fouls. Hes great

If you want a strong player, go with J.J. Hickson. He has a 91 STR. Build around him if you don't have any decent PF.

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

Just started my Pacers Association. I really believe they're one of the best teams to play an association with. A lot to build around and a lot of skill to win games early.

Just played my first game and beat the Spurs 75-73. I havent fiddled with sliders at all and played 8 min quarters. Honestly, it really bothers me that I won't get real scores... but I dont feel like playing 12 minute quarters at all. Any thoughts?

I'll probably try to pick up another big man because I have no respect for Foster as a back up center.

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

hickson was actually on my radar. i might go that route. have to move brand. his age and money along with declining morale is not helping much. im 0-6 right now. lost 1 to wizards on a buzzer beater by nick young and lost 1 to cavs by a missed buzzer beater by iguadala. having a blast playing this game and can see myself playing every game. at least in the first season. thanks for the replies

[mistamike]

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

I dont like hickson, i dont need an atlethic 4 with the way i play. I play very similarly to the old 99 lakers.

Feed the middle and get easy baskets. if i get double teamed id kick it out to my shooters for the 3.

My lineup right now in my 4th year fantasy is

Pg - Stephen Curry
Sg - Evan turner
Sf - Kevin durant
Pf - Kevin Love
C - Kendrick perkins.

6th man - Glen davis

I play an attack the basket type of half court play. Works well, only thing is at the end of season you gotta work on free throws. Other than that Davis and perkins together is beastly they are a little undersized but there physical play makes up for it.

I get an average of 30 ft's easily a game and atleast 14 blocks per game.

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

I just want to ask you guys, what's the entire point of FANTASY(Draft) BASKETBALL?

Because as for me, I'm more of a realism type of guy.
