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

I'm the same way, regardless of which sport I'm playing. I just need to feel like all the stats are mine.

Yup, that's how I feel. If only I could get over that! lol

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

I'm in the second season with the Bucks, got the fourth seed in the first season. I needed some defence so I made a three team trade and gave up Redd and Ersan Ilyasova and I got Stojakovic from the Hornets and Marcus Camby from the Trail Blazers with a few other fillers thrown in. Andrew Bogut got hurt right before the playoffs, I played the Magic in the first round and got eliminated in 7 games. Tough series, really missed Bogut.

Camby retired in the off-season, had 2 second round picks in the draft. I got two draft day trade offers, so shipped out Salmons and Gooden for draft picks to free up cap space. In the free agency I wanted Melo but I was aiming to replace Salmons and Gooden. I made offers to Troy Murphy, Carmelo Anthony, Shane Battier, Shaun Livingston and Shannon Brown. Brown rejected me but the rest agreed.

I was very happy at this stage, I couldn't believe Melo signed with me. I wanted a better power forward now though, Maggette didn't really have a place in the team now that Melo and Battier were there. So I saw what offers I could for him and one that I liked was Luis Scola and a 2nd round draft pick. I agreed to that trade, thus capping off a very successful off-season for my Bucks.

My team looks like this now.

PG. Brandon Jennings
SG. Shane Battier
SF. Carmelo Anthony
PF. Luis Scola
C. Andrew Bogut

Luc Mbah a Moute
Carlos Delfino
Troy Murphy
Keyon Dooling
Shaun Livingston
Ryan Hollins
Jon Brockman

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

Do you think I have improved or worsened the Pistons? This is my lineup as of now, only 4 games into the season.

PG: R. Stuckey (74 OVR)
SG: R Hamilton (77 OVR)
SF: T Prince (76 OVR)
PF: C. Villanueva (71 OVR)
C: S. O'Neal (77 OVR)

B. Gordon (76 OVR)
J. Maxiell (71 OVR)
W. Bynum (71 OVR)
G. Davis (67 OVR)
G. Monroe (67 OVR)
A. Bradley (65 OVR)
V. Wafer (61 OVR)

I think I have made the team slightly better. The addition of Shaq has helped the offense and so has Big Baby. The other two players I acquired from the trade look like they should be good players in a few years. I am hoping Davis, Bradley, and Wafer will be able to lead my team in the future to the playoffs and become a contender.

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

I randomy took over the Bobcats, and made just one move

CHA gets: G-F Thabo Sefolosha, F-C Serge Ibaka
OKC gets: G-F Stephen Jackson

I HATE Stephen Jackson and immediately got rid of him.

Now my main rotation looks like this:
PG- Shaun Livingston
SG- Thabo Sefolosha
SF- Boris Diaw- 16.3 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 4.3 APG
PF- Gerald Wallace- 17.7 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 2.4 SPG
C- Serge Ibaka- 10.1 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 3.1 BPG
6- Tyrus Thomas
7- DJ Augustin
8- Nazr Mohammed
9- Gerald Henderson

We're 12-12 now.

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

I chose to run with the Hornets. To me, this is a really fun team to play with.
Chris Paul is absolutely sick!! And he plays just like himself IRL. Throwing alleys like crazy and cutting through the defense.
Marcus Thorton is a good addition to this team, as well as Ariza. Okafor and David West playing in the back is awesome for defense and rebounds.
Nice team right here.

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

Restarted everything. Now that I am really much better with playcalling and the controls I had to.

Game one Heat at Celtics. Pro/Sim 12 minute Quarters Real FG/FT%. The game was ****. Jumped out to a 13 point 1st quarter lead. Went into half up 4 went into the third quarter down by 9. Ended up winning the game by 1 point after Wade got a piece of Rondo's last second shot from the top of the key beyond the foul line.

AWESOME game!!!!!

Heat 1-0 and heading to Philly for the 2nd night of a back to back.

Wade had 40 points
Mike Miller sparked the 4th quarter rally with 4 three pointers to finish with 14 points in 16 minutes.

Running plays pretty much 90% of the time. This game is sick.

Question. How do you call up a player from your D league team?

You would have to sign him and add him to your roster.

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

Loving this thread.

I'm about to start an association but I wanna run with a team other than my Bobcats...


Also, about that thread talking about association being broken, whats that all about?

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

Ok then D league confuses me. I am assuming the springfield armor is the Sixers D league team cause thats the first place it takes me when I go there and where SG Meeks was sent to when i demoted him.

However there is a guy there ( B.Walker SG/SF ) that i want to bring up, he already has a contract though. Isn't giving me the option to promote him.

Another question, when a person gets injured. How do you work around this for player role and minutes?

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

Started my Suns Association, and I'm currently 0-3. Played the intrasquad scrimmage a bit and realized yet again that Hedo as my starting PF(or on my team at all for that matter), just isn't gonna work. Traded him before the first game to cleveland. Here's the deal.

Hedo Turkoglu
2nd round pick

for

JJ Hickson
Jamarion Moon

I really expected to get something better for Hedo, but this was the best looking deal I got as far as youth and potential. I really wanted Beasley but man, Minnesota wanted the world for that guy(steve nash lol). After 3 games, even though we lost to the blazers, Utah, and LA, we're getting better. Jason Richardson put up 36 vs Utah in a 105-101 lost. Steve Nash is putting up about 19-9 a game but 5 turnovers so far. I went right ahead and put JJ in the starting lineup and surprisingly, he's giving me 15-8. I originally thought him and warrick would fight for the starting spot, but he's 10 times better than him. Here's my rotation.


Steve Nash
Jason Richardson
Grant Hill
JJ Hickson
Robin Lopez

Bench:
Goran Dragic(he's really good this year)
Jared Dudley
Josh Childress(great in this game as well)
Warrick
Frye

Moon/Clark/Collins
