How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

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

Recently made the switch to the Purist's Sliders from All-Star Simulation. My first game was against the Heat with my rebuilt Bucks:

1-Brandon Jennings
2-JR Smith
3-Gerald Wallace
4-Larry Sanders
5-Andrew Bogut
6th Man-Ronnie Brewer

At one point I was down by 22 but after a 40 point 4th quarter, I lost by two. It was a crazy game where I couldn't get anything going and they could. Finally in the 4th I was just on, I was getting Smith, Wallace, and Brewer to the basket with ease. Jennings was money with his passes. With less than three seconds left I dished the ball to Smith, pump fake getting the defender off his feet, then get the yips and oddly shoot double clutching the right stick. So pissed. I know I would have won if I made it to OT.

Currently I have a 9-12 record putting me at 9th in the East. And Bogut is hurt. My strength off the wing needs to compensate for my lack of bigs. We'll see. Here come the Rockets and Yao.

Also, once Bogut is healthy, how can I use him? I have no problem with boards and defensive play, but I cannot score consistently for the life of me. Thanks in advance.

Get into practice mode and work on post moves, soon as you have some of those moves down you should be good!

Im currently 2-0 in my Magic association with this rotation:

Arenas/ Alston/ A. Daniels
C. Lee/ Redick/ D. Cook
G. Wallace/ E. Clark
Odom/ R. Anderson
Howard/ Thabeet

The starting lineup is pretty good, especially on defence, but the bench could be better. A little bit scared that if Wallace goes down with an injury i might have to start Earl Clark...
After beating the Wizards by a point in my first game, i thought i would have a hard time against the Heat, but surprisingly i won 111-83. Wallace and Lee defended Lebron and Wade pretty good and the pick and rolls with Arenas-Dwight vs Bibby-Ilgauskas were just completely unfair. Dwight had a monster night with 45 points, 13 boards and 13 assists. The game was perfect except for that awkward moment when Erick Dampier totally posterized Dwight....

Beat the Thunder 4-3 in the 2nd round. 1 seeded Rockets vs. 4th seeded Thunder.

Win order was: OKC, HOU (OT), HOU (OT), OKC, OKC, HOU, HOU

Won game 7 by 18...led by 38 at one point. On to the Western Conference Finals vs. the 3rd seeded Mavericks.

BTW, I forgot to mention that I lost Kevin Martin for 2-4 weeks during game 1. Had to finish the series w/o him and with Courtney Lee as the starter. Lee actually ended up being player of the game in game 7.

I am starting with the Knicks, and using the official 2K rosters from 5-13-11, and I need to know a few things:

• Since Billups is gone on these rosters, who should I get?
• What other players should I sign/trade?
• How can I improve the defense without ruining the amazing offense?

I definitely need to practice with him. The thing is, he has similar ratings to other big men I've had success with. Anyone know any post moves Bogut is especially good at?

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

Ugh this game is so easy. I started out on the 76ers and traded everyone and started with all 60's and lower (kept only my picks). Going into thte 3rd or 4th season, my lineup is Rondo, Mayo, a made-up player who is a beast, Favors, and Howard. I had signed Howard and Mayo, and traded fairly for Rondo and Favors. Wish association mode wasn't so easy.

Season 3...

After starting 9-1, the I have lost 9 of my last 10 since switching from PRO/SIM to ALLSTAR/SIM... Most of the games are competitive but usually end up with the CPU going on a run in the 4th quarter to put me away. You know what kind of run I'm talking about I'm sure. The kind when the CPU simple doesn't miss for a 4 or 5 min stretch, combined with me, not being able to hit anything... Any tips?

With the recent 9 of 10 losing skid, I am now 10-10 on the young season. I've been playing every game to this point, but, I might sim until the playoffs as I'm not sure I will be able to get an entire season done before the end of the real NBA Playoffs. I don't wanna lose interest half way through my association, so I think thats what I'm going to do.

I was the Bucks a long time ago but I vaguely remember the up-and-under being my go-to move with Bogut.

I'm going with a sim 2 games in a row, play 2 games in a row thing.

To two people above...

When i said made-up beast, I meant a rookie I had drafted and now he's an 89 or 90.

And for the person telling me to be the Cavs....I started out with all 60's and lower...can't get much easier than that.

You have to set some house rules bro, you have to limit yourself at times. Somethings come easy in the game, so you have to restrict yourself to keep it realistic.

Can you tell me what your doing that makes this game "easy" to you???

I made the switch from PRO/SIM to ALLSTAR/SIM and have lost 10 of my last 11 games...

This is by far the hardest game I've ever played...

What are you doing that makes it SO EASY for you???

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

I am near the playoffs in my 3rd season with the heat. Lost in the finals in a **** game 7 against the Lakers, lost in the 2nd round against the Hawks in year 2, and am I 2nd in the conference towards the playoffs in yr 3.

I sim a fair amount of games, but I have NEVER made it this far in any association mode before. Plus, I haven't tweaked sliders in nearly 2 full seasons.

This really is the best Sport game of all time.

Bravo 2K, Bravo.
