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

    second year of my 30-user controlled association with the Wolves (real shooting % on)...play 1 out of every 4 games, sim the rest. Believe I'm currently t-6th in the West about 48 games in.

    Rubio/Flynn/Ridnour
    Wes Johnson/Shannon Brown
    Grant Hill/Webster/
    Love/Randolph/Boris Diaw
    Tolliver/Darko

    Shipped Beasley off to Phoenix for Hill/Diaw/next 1st. He just wasn't working out in my halfcourt offense.

    Rubio's a very mediocre scorer, but he's currently top 7 in the league in assists. Wes/Love are my primary scorers in the first unit, though Hill occasionally has his 20 point games. Signed Shannon to my mid-level during the offseason...he's kind of hit or miss. One game he can't get a shot to fall, then the next game drop 25.

    I'll likely move Wes to SF when Hill retires and look to add a SG through the draft. I know I'll likely lose Randolph through F/A, but I want to hold onto him for a possible playoff run.

      for some reason the timberwolves wanted arenas, and orton, and offered love and a '12 1st. obviously i accepted that deal right away.

      howard/love/wallace crash the boards, and everyone on the team plays great D. only giving up about 83.5 ppg right now.
      You have a really good defensive team, but ideally you should start J-Rich at the 2 spot for offensive reasons. Dwight needs shooters on the wing.

        Also have:

        Evan Turner
        Blake Griffin
        Kevin Love
        Andre Miller

        What you have to remember is that all you have to do is match the contract amount. Being that Wall, Griffin and Turner are Rookies, their contracts aren't $20 million per year like in a Fantasy Association, where you draft. In that Association, the people in the first round (like Tyreke and Rose) will have HUGE contracts. In this real Association, cheap as dirt.
        Yea what Keyser said. You had to use trade over ride or some thing because there is no way to get that stacked of a team with out it.

          Update to my Bulls dynasty
          Trade: Traded Rush, junk and a second round pick for Bibby and junk

          Played games 2, 3 and 4
          2 - Home vs Suns: game went into OT and Bulls pulled out a victory.
          3 - Home vs Clippers: close for first half but eventually Bulls pulled away
          4 - Away at Kings: Closer in first quarter then Bulls open game up to 16 only to have Kings bring it back to 4 before one last push to pull away with another victory

          So 4-0 thus far playing all poor teams. Every game has been close at some point in the 4th quarter. Will be interesting to see what happens when competition gets much better.

          MVPs: Gay, Curry, Curry, Curry
          Curry is leading the league in assists. Durant is yet to go OFF but he is playing solid. He is ICE cold from 3 on the occassions that I shoot them with him. Curry was ice cold from 3 in week 1 but is starting to heat up in a BIG way.
          Throwing OOPS on the ALLEY play with Gay is very cool. the passer needs a high PASS rating for it to work and after a few times the CPU learns and takes it away. I picked up Bibby instead of Rush simply because I now appreciate precision passing. Its amazing the difference in my entry passes to Durant from Curry vs. Gay.
          This game is a blast, looking forward to my first game against a playoff team.

            I understand if you want a dynamic duo, but keep it realistic damn. If you want to play all the stars on your team, wait till the AllStar game.

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

              Played game 5 away against the Warriors and it was pretty cool how different the game felt against these guys. The game was much FASTER paced and it was easier to score with their defense. Bulls came away with their 5th straight victory relatively easily (I think I won by 12ish) and now will start its stretch of games against playoff caliber teams!

              Curry was named MVP again. He leads the league in assists/game (also leads the league in turnovers per game thanks to failed OOPS!) and he is doing DAMAGE from outside! I am getting better with Durant and Gay continues to dominate off screens on Alley type plays from Curry. Neigher Durant or Gay have been able to get anything going at all from beyond the arc. In process of looking for some new plays for Gay.

              Question: I am doing the 58 game season. Is there any downside to not scheduling any practices? Thus far I have ignored this feature but I don't want to if it is going to make my team worse somehow relative to the rest of the league.

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

                I haven't played a Wizards association yet so I decided to give it a shot...

                In year 2, just had a very successful draft and now my line-up is looking like this..

                John Wall/Luke Ridnour
                Austin Rivers/Jordan Crawford
                Harrison Barnes/C.J Miles
                Yi Jianlin/Andre Blatche/Markieff Morris
                JaVale McGee/Tyler Zeller

                My only problem with this line-up is I'm not very good with Barnes...any trade ideas?

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

                  Hmmm, If your really wanting to ship Barnes off somewhere. Then I would try to go for maybe a veteran for that position, seeing that your a very young team.

                  A couple of veteran's to look for at the SF would be..
                  Richard Jefferson
                  Grant Hill
                  Andre Iguodala

                  Or you could reach out for some young talent..
                  Wilson Chandler
                  Danilo Gallinari
                  Terrence Williams
                  Nicolas Batum

                  And of course theres other draft picks in that class that you could trade for.

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

                    Man I just started my Orlando Magic association using "The Purist(s) NBA 2K11 Sliders" and I was gotten embarrassed in my first two games.

                    I lost to the Washington Wizards 134-99...I couldn't hit any shots early scoring mostly from the free throw line...the Wizards opened the game shooting 15 for 16...they hit EVERY shot...I mean every single thing they threw up went in.

                    In my second game I played the Miami Heat, which was a better game, but I still lost 120-98. Lebron James scored about 35 points while D. Wade added about 26(I can't remember the exact totals)...in this game my three point shooting was on early and I actually pulled within 5 points in the 3rd quarter before James was subbed back in and starting hitting every shot and dunking on everybody.

                    So far, Dwight Howard has been a non-factor...he scored 17 points in the first game and 11 against the Heat while being in foul trouble most of the game...and he keeps missing close buckets...he's the spark I'm missing.

                    I think I'm gonna start giving Gilbert Arenas a few more minutes per game...he's starting to whine about his playing time.

                      Okay it's really easy to make the Nets into a superteam and as you saw before I got
                      PG Deron Williams
                      Sg CourtneyLee
                      SF Durant
                      PF Blake Griffin
                      C Dwight Howard

                      but this time I want to develop draft picks and prospects, what team should I be?

                        You should get the Cavs because if you keep it realistic (no big free agents are going to a LeBronless Cleavland) then you have to work on developing the little bit of talent thats in place to either play or trade and draft wisely. If you do it just right its a very fun team to to use... after year 1.

                          Cavs association / All 30 Teams update... Kinda long, but I hope you enjoy it...

                          So, as you all know, I've created an Association, and I am controling all 30 NBA teams, but, mainly just playing as MY Cavaliers... The idea, obviously, is to rebuild my team in the "post LeBron" era, through the draft and smart player developement... Honestly so much has happened, its gonna be tough for me to remember it all haha...

                          Here's a quit rundown of the first 2 Seasons so far...

                          Season 1 - Cavs
                          - Simmed the entire Season
                          - Made the real life deadline trades... IE- Melo to the Knicks among others...
                          - My Cavs finished with the worst record (no surprise)
                          - Won #1 pick in the draft lottery with my Cavs pick, and won the #2 pick with the Clippers pick acquired via the Baron Davis trade... (I did not cheat, I swear)
                          - Cavaliers draft PG Kyrie Irving, SF Harrison Barnes and SF Jon Diebler in the 2nd round... (I had this draft class before I found out Barnes was going back to UNC)

                          Season 1 NBA
                          - LeBron wins his 3rd straight MVP
                          - Lakers over Heat in 7 to complete their 3 peat

                          Season 1 Offseason
                          - Cavs pretty much stand pat, not making any bigtime FA signings... Its tough to bring in big time FA to Cleveland, but, having young studs Kyrie Irving and Harrison barnes could help that in the future...
                          - No real superstar Free Agents moved in the 1st offseason, just a few solid roles players
                          - SG Shannon Brown heads to New Jersey to team up with Deron Williams and Brook Lopez to form a respectable 3 some...

                          Draft
                          - Hawks were big winners in the draft, as they drafted PG Brandon Knight...
                          - PF Jared Sullenger goes to the Sixers and looks to be the eventual replacement for the ageing veteran Elton Brand
                          - The Jazz land youngster from Baylor Perry Jones
                          - Kings draft PG Kemba Walker, which will move Tyreke Evans to his natural SG position.
                          - SF from Arizona, Derrick Williams lands in Toranto
                          - Wizards draft SF Terrance Jones from Kentucky
                          - SG William Bufford, on his way to Minnesota

                          Season 2 Cavs
                          - Played roughly 20 games or so and simmed the rest...
                          - Improved my record to 36-46, a +20 improvement over the previous year...
                          - Harrison Barnes win rookie of the year, Kyrie Irving finished 2nd...
                          - Cavs record gives me a 1.9% chance of the #1 pick in the draft lottery... I didn't hit it this year, and am sitting in the #10 slot in the upcoming draft...
                          - Cavs draft SG from North Carolina Reggie Bullock with the #10 pick...

                          Season 2 - NBA
                          - Some big deadline deals changed the landscape of the NBA...
                          1) The New York Knicks were at it again, as they acquired Chris Paul from the Hornets for Chauncey Billups, Tony Douglas, Landry Fields and a 1st and 2nd round pick next season. It was widely believed that Paul was going to sign with the Knicks in the summer, much like the Melo drama from the previous year but the Knicks didn't want to wait, and were able to pull off a deal before the deadline. This gives the Knicks arguably the best "Big 3" in the NBA with Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Amare Stoudemire...

                          2) Dwight Howard had made it clear that, in the offseason he would not be resigning with the Orlando Magic. He would in fact be testing the Free Agent waters and looking to go to a larger media market to help build his "brand". Knowing this, the Orlando Magic decided to place their franchise big man on the trade block in hopes of not being hung out to dry, ala the Cleveland Cavaliers after the LeBronw "decision". The team that was willing to give up the most turned out to be The back-to-back-to-back NBA Champion LA Lakers. The Lakers sent C. Andrew Bynum, Luke Walton, and 2 1st round picks this season, along with a 1st and 2nd round pick next season. Some may say they paid too much, but, having DFish, Kobe, Lamar, Pau, Dwight on the floor gives the Lakers one of the best all around teams in the league.
                          - Lebron wins his 4th consecutive MVP award... I think this might be a record but I'm not sure...
                          - Knicks, and newly aquired Chris Paul defeat the defending 3 time Champion LA Lakers in a great 7 game series...

                          Season 2 - Offseason - Cavs
                          - A big offseason for the Cavaliers as we were nearly $30 Million under the salary cap...
                          - The main focus going into the offseason for the Cavs was trying to keep 23yr old PF JJ Hickson... After having two very solid seasons of 18ppg and 8rpg, JJ was looking to get paid... Knowing that we didn't have a respectable replacement and the fact that JJ has been a solid player, and someone that we considered to be part of our "core" we decided to accomodate JJ and give him exactly what he wanted... A max contract, 6yr $104mil... Some may say that we overpayed, but, we felt like JJ has the potential to be one of the best PF in the game...
                          - The Hickson signing ment the Cavs only had 5 players signed to contracts. Some smart FA Signings would be needed... The Cavs signed some solid young players in Free Agency, SG Brandon Rush, C. Hasheem Thabeet, and veteran PF Antwan Jamison (re-sign)

                          Season 2 - Offseason - NBA
                          - Since the headliners, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard were traded before they were able to test the FA Market, the FA class didn't have the "star power" of FA classes of the past...
                          - The key FA was SF Michael Beasley, who, after receiving offers from Charlotte, Minnesota, and Sacramento, decided to sign with Charlotte.
                          - The 2nd best FA, SF Nicolas Batum, signed a 3yr deal, for the mid-leval exception to join the LA Lakers...
                          - 40yr old Center Shaq O'Neil signed with the Spurs

                          Draft - Recap - NBA
                          - The Jazz won the draft lottery, select SF - Michael Gilchrist from Kentucky
                          - Wizards draft PF/C - Andre Drummond

                          Season 3 - Preview - Cavs

                          - Cavs starting lineup
                          PG - Kyrie Irving / (at work, forgot name :/ )
                          SG Reggie Bullock (R) / Brandon Rush
                          SF - Harrison Barnes / Jon Diebler
                          PF - JJ Hickson / Antwan Jamison / Brandon Wright
                          C - Andy Varejao / Hasheem Thabeet

                          - Cavs start, Season 3 as the 6th rated team in the NBA Power Rankings.

                          Season 3 - Preview - NBA
                          - In the West, The Lakers, now with Dwight Howard for a full Season, are probably the favorit in the West, but with the Thunder are hot on their heels... The Jazz, the Kings (yes the Kings) are young and might be a factor... Oh yeah, and don't sleep on the Memphis Grizzlies who are young and very exciting, along with the Golden State Warriors... The Dallas Mavericks will be there as always as well, but might be a little too old at some key positions...
                          - In the East, the New York Knicks (last Seasons Champion) might be the favorite. With PG. Chris Paul, SF. Carmelo Anthony, and PF Amare Stoudemire, they probably have the most dominate "big 3" in the league. With sharpshooter Jimmer Feredette coming off the bench, the Knicks can score a ton of points. Of course, you have the Heat with LeBron, Wade and Bosh and the Celtics, although ageing fast, with Rondo, Allen, Pierce and Garnett who wont go down without a fight. In this tier of teams you can include the Chicago Bulls with DRose, Boozer, Noah, and the Hawks with Brandon Knight, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford.
                          - Up and coming teams like the Wizards (John Wall, Terrence Jones, Andre Drummond), the Cavs (Kyrie Irving, Harrison Barnes, JJ Hickson) and the Sixers (Evan Turner, Andre Iguadala, Jared Sullenger) could also be a factor this season...

                          The NBA as a whole appears to have more parity than ever before. There are 5 or 6 legit NBA Championship Contenders in both conferences...

                            Well I just finished my first season and my Chicago Bulls won the NBA Finals! They beat the Mavericks 4-1 and Derrick Rose was the Finals MVP.

                            Now, the off-season was a little tricky. The Clippers got the #1 and #3 draft picks and the Cavs got the #2 pick. I (Bulls) drafted Demarcus McNamey (I think that's how you spell) and G Nolan Smith. I also signed G Marcus Thornton from the Kings, but I then traded him to the Nuggets for Aaron Affalo (nice, I think?) so here is my lineup.

                            1 - Derrick Rose/C.J. Watson/McNamey
                            2 - Aaron Affalo/Ronnie Brewer/Nolan Smith
                            3 - Luol Deng/Kyle Korver/Rasual Butler
                            4 - Carlos Boozer/Taj Gibson/Jordan Hill (from Rockets)
                            5 - Joakim Noah/Omer Asik/Kyle Koufos (from Nuggets)

                            Other key signings:

                            SG Marco Belinelli signs to Pacers

                                Who plays association with HOF SIM setting and having fun/doing well? I bet nobody. I mean... NOBODY. NO ONE. NONE PERIOD

                                I'm playing HOF SIM for association and it's bunch of BS it's not even funny. My team is the 91-92 Bulls and everytime there's a close game with only few seconds left, all of a sudden, the players I was controlling started not to manipulate as I wanted them to and began to do some BS plays. For instance, the score was 90 for both me and the cpu, a tie game, with like 30 seconds left. I had a 2 vs 1 fastbreak chance by intercepting the pass. I dribbled the ball with MJ then made a pass to the teammate. Of course they were all running like hell. It was a perfect pass and a perfect chance to dunk it off. But guess what happened. The teammate suddenly stopped and decided to pull up a jumpshot right under the basket while I was pressing R2(ps3) and the shotstick. I was like WTF? It was so unexpected I ended up missing the jumper. This just happened and still can't believe it as I'm writing it down. Yea I lost the game.
                                Want to hear another one? I was winning the game by 1 point against the Magic. It was the Magic's possesion with 3 seconds remaining.Turkuglu(however you spell his name) got the ball and Pippen was defending him just right infront of him. As he shot the ball from 3pt line, Pippen jumped. It was a perfect timing. In fact, it was too perfect that I worried of the foul call. Anyways, the ball went through Pip's hand but I was like whatever cause I knew it wasn't going in. But the result? Yea you guessed it, SWOOSH. I was like WTF seriously. I'm in a daze of the HOF SIM CPU CHEATING "LET'S PISS PPL OFF" mode. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing BS in HOF SIM. (Please don't tell me to lower the level. I changed it to HOF since superstar sim became too easy.)
