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

Just bought the game, Im an avid madden player looking for a new challenge. I jumped right into association with only one game under my belt, so we'll see how it goes. I havent played a basketball game besides a few games of 2k10 at a buddies.

Started one as the celtics (Ray Allen has been my favorite player since he was on the bucks) but the file got corrupted. I was 4-5.

So now I started one as the Knicks.

First thing I did was trade 2 shooting guards, honestly cant remember the names, and a 2012 first round draft pick for Kendrick Perkins. They had 6 SGs and only One Center so I decided I needed another one, and I used Trade finder and Perkins came up.

Im 1-0. Mello had 34 points and 12 rebounds in my first game which is unheard of from me seeing as though I only have a few games under my belt.

Im looking to improve my bench, anyone have any suggestions? It seems I cant do much when my "Big 3" is all out at the same time.

BTW, Im new to association mode so if anyone has any tips theyd be greatly appreciated.

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

I just started a season with the Pistons. Right now I'm doing my rotations the same way Detroit has been doing it for real the past couple games, which is brutal lol.

I'm 2-1, losing by 10 to the Nets, then winning by 1 against OKC on 2 Rodney Stuckey FTs with 0.4 left on the clock! Then beat the Bulls in Chicago after they collapsed in the 2nd half. I outscored them 57-39 after trailing by 9 at the break.

Stuckey is averaging 13 pts and 10 ast so far. Ben Gordon has been my best player offensively getting 24 ppg, but I think that will come down a bit as the season progresses.

My rotations have been:

• Stuckey
• Gordon
• Daye
• Wilcox
• Monroe

(seriously)

my bench:

• Bynum
• Hamilton
• Summers (DaJuan)
• Villanueva
• Maxiell (yup Maxiel at center lol)

I also use a third rotation for late in games, but my lineups seem to screw up in-game sometimes, not sure why it does that:

• Stuckey
• Gordon
• Hamilton
• Villanueva
• Monroe

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

Now that the deadline passes alot of people are starting new associations with the updated rosters.

How many games are you guys putting in a season? I want to do 82 to make it as realistic as possible but I know I'm not gonna be able to finish it. Or if I do then I won't be able to do a second year.

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

I'm doing 82 games but only 5 minutes per quarter. I can't have the time to play 12 minutes. 5 minute quarter games last about an hour which is good for me. I've almost finished my first season. In Western Conference Finals vs Jazz tied at 3-3

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

Just started my Franchise last night with the new rosters and all the buyouts. I went with the Knicks, I just like that I can add some good pieces to them and make them a good contender. I played my first game against the Raptors, All-Star,Sim,12Min also it's a 82 game season. I had a pretty close game against the raptors but the duo of Melo and Amare was just to much for them in the end and I won by 7. Billups had 14 pts 16 Ast so he did well, he's just real slow I know the young PG's will kill him. I made a trade after the game, Corey Brewer to the Suns for Pietrus I need some scoring off the bench hopefully he can provide that. I'm also thinking of going after Ibaka from OKC cause I don't know how Turiaf will hold up against the west. Devin Harris is also on my mind for a PG to go after but I might just see how Billups holds up this year and save cap. Next game Boston tell you how it goes

5 minutes games take you an hour? I play 10 minute quarters and it only takes about 40 minutes.

I play 82 game seasons, but only play about 20 of the games.

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

Yah 12 takes me about an hour

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

Hey guys I was wondering if anyboyd had a post-trade deadline association file with all of the correct draft picks. Is there a easy way to assign all of the draft picks that were involved?

[Wavebird99]

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

Currently 17-12 with the Grizzlies, liking how the team is rolling so far. I'm definitely gonna dangle Mayo and see what kind of solid defense I can get for him. Defense NEEDS to be improved. Gasol + Randolph are very good offensively though, and Gay is the man.

I'm thinking about drafting a solid PF if I cant trade for one, or maybe a shooting guard if I trade Mayo.

What do you guys think?

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

I restarted once again lol and decided just to try to have some fun and make a team I would actually keep I chose the Lakers and boy was I able to put together a dynamic big three. I traded Pau Shannon Brown and Ron Artest for Deron Williams and Travis Outlaw and then I got Danny Granger and Dahntay Jones for Andrew Bynum and I think one of my picks I can't remember which one there may have been another player included in that one too. I haven't played the 1st game yet but I'm sure having Deron Kobe and Danny all on the same team will be loads of fun no way am I restarting this one lol.

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

Ok so in my Knicks franchise I ended up making a trade for ibaka, I gave up George mason and my first round pick this year and 2nd round pick for next season. So I moved Ibaka to start over Turiaf but they will play about equal mins. So I thought I was ready to play Boston and boy was I wrong. It started off ok but we kept turning the ball over and Melo was on lock by pierce. By the third qtr we were down by 22 and it was pretty much over from there. So now my record is 1-1 with Portland up next. I'm not too worried yet I will just need to play better D cause i couldn't stop no one Boston shot like 60 percent on me. So I hope to start winning again

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

Denver Franchise, the only change i've made was sending Wilson Chandler to New Jersey for a first round pick. We're currently 33-33 were fighting with OKC,Utah,NOH and Houston for the last 2 seeds which me and OKC are currently holding down

I just blew out New Orelans and we're riding a 5 game win streak and the great thing about this final playoff push is I play Utah one more time, and OKC three times I think. The rest of my schedule has me playing 11 playoff teams and only 5 teams out of the playoffs

Gallo has been a complete monster for me averaging 22/7/9 and i picked up a d-leaguer who dropped 20 in both games and hit the game winning lay-up the other game so I think he'll be on my team next year. Gonna let Nene/Martin/Smith go after this year, since they're struggling besides Nene who just wants to much money and try to trade Felton and try to get Sullinger and Terrance Jones in the draft along with some shooters

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

Anyone know how to get CP3 with Deron Williams as the main piece?
