    I know that lots of trades lowers team chemistry, but thats about it. Anyone got good team chemistry tips?>
    The only things I know that really control it are winning, keeping the team together and keeping the players you have happy.

      [20-9 TOR year 1/All-Star/82gm/10min]
      Last 2 games got my arse handed to me 111-103 by LAL, and 103-101 by DET. Sputtering a little, currently in 5th place in EC. There've been alot of trades in the past 3 weeks and i'll recap those just for the hell of it.

      BOS:Robinson,Perkins >>>> CHA:Stephen Jackson,Kwame
      PHO:Gortat >>>> OKC:Krstic
      PHO: Dudley >>>> NJ:Sean May,'12 2nd round
      MIL: Delfino >>>> MIN:'11 & '12 2nd round
      IND:Hansbrough,Foster >>>> PHO:Childress,Sean Williams
      WAS:Flip Murray >>>> GS:Carney,Amundson
      DEN:Kenyon Martin,Anthony Carter >>>> CLE:Jamison,A.Parker
      GS:Reggie Williams,Charlie Bell >>>> NJ:Humphries,'11 2nd round
      DAL:Chandler,Ajinca >>>> PHI:Brand, '11 2nd round
      DET:Hamilton,B.Wallace >>>> ORL:Jason Richardson
      GS: David Lee,'11 2nd rnd >>>> DET:Charlie V,T-Mac

      The NBA landscape has changed dramatically and we're not even in January. A little too much for my taste but i allow CPU trades.

        Well i have a New Jersey Nets association going on.

        The first thing i did was trade for Carmelo before i even played a game. I got him by doing -

        Nets Receive :
        Carmelo Anthony

        Nuggets Receive:
        Derrick Favors
        Troy Murphy(expiring contract)
        2011 1st round pick
        2012 1st round pick

        During the regular season i went 15-14 and got the 7th seed. I just got eliminated by Miami today in the playoffs(1st round)...i couldn't stop LeBron at all. Lost the series 3-1. Then the finals ended up being Boston vs Dallas and Dallas won 4-0. In the off-season i stayed relatively quiet(except for re-signing Melo and getting a good sixth man in Azubuike).

        I have yet to start the 2nd season but this is how my lineup looks as of yet;

        PG: Devin Harris(81 OVR) - Jordan Farmar(70 OVR)
        SG: Anthony Morrow(73 OVR) - Sasha Vujacic(69 OVR)
        SF: Carmelo Anthony(94 OVR) - Kelenna Azubuike(73 OVR) - Travis Outlaw(72 OVR)
        PF: Kris Humphries(76 OVR) - Ersan Ilyasova(72 OVR) - Darius Miles(65 OVR)
        C: Brook Lopez(80 OVR) - Johan Petro(64 OVR)

        It's a pretty decent lineup imo. I love shooters so the SG spot is perfect...i can easily drop 15 ppg with Morrow and about 10 ppg with Sasha off the bench.

          My association is going good 31-3 with the Bulls but...

          I have been averaging 25-30ppg w/ D.Rose...but for some reason his stats say that he's only avg 16ppg after 34 games..his stats also show he's split time playing for the Eerie D-League team and the Bulls playing 84 games total...I never sent him down to the D-League...another weird thing in my association is that I was checking the All-star voting..saw Monta Ellis as one of the top vote getters in the West and shows he has played 56 games...funny thing is im only in January now of my association.

          is there a fix for this? or am I better off just restarting my association ?

              Somehow I go to sign Yao and it says I am over the hard cap? This is stupid because it shows in his re-sign screen I'll have $4m in cap room after I sign him for 2011-2012.

                Is my OKC Team stacked?

                1.Simed first yr and lost in first round against Spurs...
                2.Resigned JGreen
                3.Went to draft..got offered 6th pick from GS for JGreen and Cole A
                4.Drafted Sullinger from OState
                5.Signed D.Jordan C and T.Young SF and A.Miller PG in FA
                6.Started season...20-8...CPU offered a bunch of trades...
                7.I wanted Mayo...got him from Grizz for Harden and Maynor and a pick
                8.Cavs offered me Anderson V for Young and some scrubbs and a 1st round

                Team is:
                PG: R.Westbrook/A.Miller
                SG: OJ Mayo/ Sefolosha/ added Dunleavy
                SF: KD/ D.James
                PF: Ibaka/ Sullinger
                C: D.Jordan/ Anderson V

                Sullinger was a steal yes..but I gave up Green/Cole
                D.Jordan who is playing great now was available for a bargin in FA

                This team is beastly...played only one game so far and I am loving the rotations and possibilites
                Play on Allstar w 8min qtrs and custom games sliders around simulation levels

                Is it stacked???

                  Wow, this team is nice, it isn't stacked at all, my association is crazy, I like Deandre Jordan very much, he is a beast also Ibaka both great shot blockers and you have OJ Mayo, really nice pairing up with KD on the wings

                    Wave! Nice to see you on here....

                    Like BlueNGold said winning is key, and if you are not winning but you are giving players their desired playing time you could still see a -1 or more taken from their overall rtg.

                    This is what is going on with the 2nd season 76ers squad I am currently running with. My record is 11-20 and although Jrue Holiday and others are seeing plenty of minutes they still show a negative one on their ratings.

                    Also player roles affect as well.

                    Basically its:
                    1. Winning
                    2. Role
                    3. Minutes
                    4. Player personality
                    5. Maybe even usage...

                    Player personality is a real modifier of how your players morale will be affected. I mention usage because in yr 1 running with the Mavs I gave Brendan Haywood 30 minutes a game and had him starting and he was still unhappy. I think because he hardly touched the ball on offense, was the reason for his morale dropping and ratings dropping too.

                        Started a fantasy draft Association with my Cleveland Cavaliers (now you know why it was a fantasy draft).

                        Hopefully I'm not the only one, but I was tired of trying to play 10min, 82 game Association seasons so I switched to a 5min quarter (6 sim) and 29 game season and so far I am having a BLAST! With the sim quarters down, everyone is on the same level stat-wise and the games are just good solid contests for 20 minutes.

                        Started the season 6-1 so far, with my only loss coming on a Hoopcast Sim game 59-42 thanks to Dwight Howard. I have decided to play 15 and sim 14 using Hoopcast and make the substitutions and sim strategy because I feel like it will put more importance on how I build up my personnel and not just how I play. So far I am 3-0 playing the games and 3-1 using hoopcast sim.

                        Overall Team Rating: 85
                        Starting Line-up:
                        PG - Derron Williams
                        SG - Jason Terry
                        SF - Kevin Martin
                        SF - Paul Pierce
                        PF/C - Luis Scola

                        Sixth Man -
                        C Gortat

                        Role Player -
                        C Joel Pryzbilla
                        SG Anthony Morrow

                        Only move so far has been a dissatisfied Kyle Korver for some size inside with Joel Pryzbilla.
                        Hopefully I'm not the only one who plays 5 min quarters for association in order to play multiple seasons.

                          That's a nice team as far as racking up points is concerned but how does Pierce fare when guarding PFs? and Scola handling the 5 spot? I mean you have Gortat who could start and Przybilla backing him up. Just a thought. Kudos!

                            I like to get out and run so I usually will start the game small with Luis Scola (82 overall), but the minutes are actually split pretty evenly between Scola and Gortat/Pryzbilla with Scola getting around 10-12 minutes a game and Gortat and Pryz splitting the other 10-12 minutes (out of 20).

                            Against larger teams, like when I played against Dwight Howard, I like to start Pryzbilla (67 overall) because his defensive awareness and low post is actually better than Gortat who is 70 overall. I'll even occasionally go with Gortat and Pryzbilla together but never in a starting situation.

                            This is actually one of the few teams that I have had major success getting out and running.

                            Kevin Martin started the season hurt but has come on strong in the 3rd game. D-Will is averaging 15 points a game and dropped 29 on the Bobcats (team scored 56). Terry is the wildcard with around 12 ppg and Pierce is a steady 10 ppg and is mostly used to keep the three ball an option.

                            Defensively, D-Will and Terry are quick on the ball and my defense (although not extremely talented) is ranked 15th overall. I haven't shot under 45% all season so obviously it is more a offensive team.

                              Like BlueNGold said winning is key, and if you are not winning but you are giving players their desired playing time you could still see a -1 or more taken from their overall rtg.

                              This is what is going on with the 2nd season 76ers squad I am currently running with. My record is 11-20 and although Jrue Holiday and others are seeing plenty of minutes they still show a negative one on their ratings.

                              Also player roles affect as well.

                              Basically its:
                              1. Winning
                              2. Role
                              3. Minutes
                              4. Player personality
                              5. Maybe even usage...

                              Player personality is a real modifier of how your players morale will be affected. I mention usage because in yr 1 running with the Mavs I gave Brendan Haywood 30 minutes a game and had him starting and he was still unhappy. I think because he hardly touched the ball on offense, was the reason for his morale dropping and ratings dropping too.
                              JBH! Nice to see you too.

                              Thanks for the info. I'm currently in year 2 of my Nets dynasty (simmed first year) and I'm sitting at 27-19, third place in the conference. Alot of my guys have -1 though, but I think its because they're unhappy about playing time (or some of them are, anyway). Ill have to get rid of some the unhappy guys soon.

                              Also, I'm about to start running an all-30 team association, just for kicks, and play the good matchups. Should be alot of fun.

                                after going 5-8 in my NYK association, i experienced glitches that stopped it cold [teams around the NBA having 41 games played when only 13 have been actually played, as well as player being shown as having way llower stats then they do], so i will wait for the trade deadline then start a casual one with MULTI save spots lol
