How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

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

posted in the glitches thread that injuries are causing teams to change player roles which causes a lot of CPU players to drop morale really fast. End result is players wanting to switch teams so there's a lot of player movement that probably shouldn't be happening.

Seems like association ia broken in the best ball game ever

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

I'm running with the Nets

PG: Harris
SG: Morrow
SF: Outlaw
PF: Murphy
C: Lopez

6th: Terrance Williams
Role player / prospect Derrick Favors

My plan is to leave this team intact for the time being. Williams will be playing just as many minutes as Morrow at sg and backing up outlaw at the 3. Once i get his outside shooting up he's going to be my starting 2 guard and the player i will be building around offensively. I'm also going to work on developing Favors and will be looking to start him in year 2. I dropped Damion James down to the D league so he can get some playing time and to make playing the d league games more fun. I'll probably bring him up if i get hit with injuries or by next year if he improves enough.

Can anyone give me any tips about getting past the low post offense drill? I am trying to build up Favors inside scoring but he is so raw that i have virtually no chance of scoring enough times to get any boost. I need 1210 points so at 100 points per shot i need to hit 13 out of 20 shots from the low post which is very hard when he has limited skills and not much of a jumpshot to speak of.

I also need a better back up center as Johan Petro is a bit of a stiff so far for me. Might look to free agency for that.

Also does anyone else not like the trade finder thingy? Sure it's convenient but how realistic is it to have 28 offers when you put a player up for trade instantly. I think i preferred the 2k10 version where you could sit them on the trading block as that seemed more realistic than an instant 20+ offers like it is now. Overall i am loving association and the game so far though.

Is there a way to get a classic player like Dominique Willkins into the Association?

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

Wow that is quite egregious. I can confirm that there's something strange going on.

Year 2 - 1 trade
Year 3 - 1 trade
Year 4 - 5 trades
Year 5 - 0 trades

There's a lot of d-league transactions though. There is also no signings during the season which is strange. Looks funny but I can live with that. No trading is ridiculous. Guess I need to play 30 teams until they patch this.

I'm sure they WILL patch this guys so don't worry! My question is, can I start an association now(already have), and not have to restart when a patch comes to fix this???

Please don't clutter this thread with bug/glitch talk. There is a thread for that. This is for Association progress & plans.

Thanks!

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

I started with the Wiz, played a game with Wall and Arenas back court and decided this wasn't going to work.

So did the trade finder and Arenas is a valuable asset to trade. Had a lot of offers that could have made the team better right now (Rudy Gay....) but decided to go empty cap route.

Kings
Arenas

Wizards
Dalembert
1st round draft pick.

I'm guessing the Kings think they are close to building a solid team and Arenas can play PG for them for the next 5 years at least...I guess they also think this immediately makes them better since they are giving me their first round pick.

So, we are going to suck 1st season...but say I can snag Melo in FA and draft a good prospect and depending on how the Kings do I could have TWO lotto picks.

Wall is pretty good in this game...can't get him to hit a open shot but meh, if he could he'd be unstoppable.

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

The teams I have played with lately have moved/acquired players I like/don't like. So I am looking for new teams to play with?

Nets, Kings, Timberwolves? I could use some opinions. Or maybe this could be the first time I run with my favorite team...

I'm personally going with T-wolves...Very young, quick pg in Flynn, good rebounders with inside game with Love and Beasley off the bench. They could use help on outside shooting but solid team. Oh yeah, the rookie Wesley Johnson is flat out Awesome!

Lost my first game in a close one to the Kings tho Tyreke Evans had a career high 37pts on me lol

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

Also, the 76ers are a very real possibility...

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

I decided to run with the T-Wolves only they are a very new look team now. My starting lineup after using the trade finder for players I just didn't like on the roster is this. Flynn
Salmons from the Bucks
Wallace from the Bobcats
Scola from the Rockets
Varejao from the Cavs
I noticed the team had a bunch of one year contracts so I decided to trade for guys who will be locked up for my team for the first few seasons at least.

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

and I was meaning Johnny Flynn by the way, he has huge trade value but I wanna see if he will resign once the season is over. I got some good offers for Wes Johnson too but I couldn't let him go either.

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

Rolling with ok city I love kevin durant.

Simmed through year 1 ended up with pick 3 and pick 5 at 3 I took a sf named cisse and at 5 took a pf saunders I moved cisse to sg and green to c baron davis is westbrooks back up

Westbrook
Cisse
Durant(god)
Saunders
Green

2 games into season 2 and durant is averaging 42 a game.

Wow, I'm going with that team as well, but you totally blew that team up lol...I don't plan on trading anyone honestly. Milicic is the only one that I'd actually look to trade since Beasley can start at PF, and Love at Center. It'd be a small frontcourt tho so I dunno. I like Beasley givin me the points off the bench along with Webster(my 6th man).

I'm currently 1-1 with them, losing the 1st game(simmed second). Winning big over Memphis currently 55-42 at the half. I love Flynns speed and ability to get down court and cause the defense to have to react. I have 7 assists with him already this game. Simmed game he had 16pts and 10ast. Looking to easily grab Rookie of the year with Johnson, he's a beast!!

Which reminds me, I just gave a Grizzlies player a facial with Johnson on a dunk lol...uploading to 2k now, will link to OS if I figure out how to do it.

0-2 with the Blazers so far. Lost 64-61 against the Clippers. Roy had a chance to send it to OT but missed at the buzzer.

Playing 8 minute quarters but will probably bump it to 9. Completely in love with this game.

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

what settings/quarter lengths do you guys use? 12 min quarters seems like so long that after 2 games ive had about enough of playing. but its the only way i get close to real NBA stats. ~80+ shot attemps, ~40+ rebounds, 90+ points.
