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

Also would I have to restart my Assc. if I go up to All Star from Pro?? Thanks in advance

Nope just change it in the options.

I find i win easily on pro but get smashed on allstar but i haven't tried it post patch. Maybe play 5 games and if you win every game by a blowout move it up a notch. Kinda hard to know because the Lakers did start out dominating every team in real life. If you were doing that with the Raptors i would def be suggesting bumping up the difficulty.

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

bad trade for who? Noah is a beast in 2k11, gobbles up rebounds like a 6'11 Rodman.

I've never found Horford that effective when I've used him.

yea i was really just looking for defense and rebounds in a center, and i dunno, i just couldnt get the hang of horford or something. another factor may be my slight man crush on noah

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks the new Big 3 isnt going to work, D- Wade will eventually become unhappy when Spo' or Pat Riley make the Heat LeBrons team, so I'm bringing him home, Bulls Franchise, just don't know for who... thoughts or ideas? Wade said if bosh hadn't signed he was signing with the Bulls, google it.

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

Now the patch has dropped, I'm pretty keen to start a Bulls association.

Wondering if I should stick with Taj at the 4 and trade Boozer straight up for a 2 or 3. Someone like Iggy would be good

Though I'll play a few games to see if I can get a feel for Booze.

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

I've started around 5 Associations since I've bought the game. I guess most of them have been "experiments", up until a few days ago I didn't know you could call plays. Once I learned how to do that I blew teams out on Rookie.

First of all, I really like this game. It's my first NBA game so I'm still figuring this all out. One thing I can't figure out is how to keep a players morale up. It seems like my players get so fatigued so fast, and then if they get injured, they want a trade. I was running with Nash and the Phoenix Suns, but now I think I will probably run with the Raptors.

Sure, they are ranked 30th overall. But if you have watched them, or played them in this game, you'll know that Andrew Bargnani is a serious threat from the 3. He constantly hits 3's and the mid range jumpers. Jose Calderone is a great passer also, so he will be good for a PG.

I believe Jarret Jack was traded a while ago though ... Anyways, I hope everyone is enjoying this great game.

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

Maybe I'm missing something but when I went to start my Association tonight with the Lakers why is Andrew Bynum listed as a reserve and not on the IR? Yao Ming is also starting. Can someone explain why this is happening? Bynum is a reserve coming off the bench???

Are you using rosters? I know the rosters with the dunk edits and all that done by many of the members here had a rotation update at the beginning of the year (done by DueceDiggla - 360 GT for rosters) - and they put in what would be the opening night rotations at least in those rosters.

If you are using the defaults, it's unexplainable unless you altered his player role and then told it to change lineups because of it.

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

restarting my hawks chise. first order of business is to get marvin williams the hell out of here. i traded him and some guy i found at the bottom of my roster for dahntay jones, so now, my lineup looks like this.

PG Jeff Teague
SG Dahntay Jones
SF Joe Johnson
PF Josh Smith
C Al Horford
6th man Jamal Crawford
Bench:
Zaza Pachulia
Mike Bibby
Maurice Evans
Powell
Jo. Crawford

First game against the grizzlies, i lost 100-95, making some stupid turnovers late. Johnson scored 17, grabbed 6 boards, teague had 10 assists and 12 points, horford had 2(i dont really use centers), jones had 15 w/ 5 assists, j crawf had 22, and josh smith had a surprising 31, w/ 5 blocks and 8 rebounds. The pick and roll w/ him is a beast. During one, he pulled off a between the legs dunk, something i didnt think happend in real games. thoughts? suggestions?

Suggestion - learn to use your center. Horford is ridiculously beastly.

The game was just patched yesterday, my friend - and it was extensive and fixes your problem (Players becoming injured and then bitching because their minutes do not meet their role - EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE INJURED!)

That problem is fixed, and you should not have to restart your association. Good luck.

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

In January of my BUCKS association, loving Jennings, havent quite nailed the post moves with Bogut, but everything else is cris.


the only move i have made was to sign Dampier, I'm in the process of trading Michael Redd whos really unhappy with his role, so Ive lined up a trade of;

Bucks trade;
Michael Redd

OKC trade:
Nick Collison
Mo Peterson

might try and squeeze a future second out of them, but the move will free up time for Delfino, and Douglas-Roberts.

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

I just restarted basically all of my Asso's after Carmelo hit a buzzer beater from like 10 feet behind the 3pt line while INJURED to win Game 7 of the Finals . Then again my other Asso I hit a buzzer because Ty Lawson decided to let me shoot a wide open three. I started a New one with the Bulls


I traded Deng and Noah for Monta Ellis.

I then proceded to sign Larry Hughes.


Deng in my opinion is a great player but a scoring threat like Monta is a great second option when Rose is not getting his Jumpshot off or When he is on the bench.

I absolutely dispise Joakim Noah because of the way he carries himself in real life. I also would rather have Boozer at the 5 with a Mid Range PF like Taj Gibson.


I also forgot to mention that I could easily drop 30 a night with Kyle Korver.

I'd keep boozer over gibson, because Gibson doesn't really give you a consistent presence down low. He has a nice mid-range game, and is athletic but boozer is just such a consistent force down low, unless you went with a up tempo offense cause that would serve Gibson's game better than being stuck in an half court offense. That's just my take though.

I agree with this, Boozer is an absolute monster down low for me. I can always count on him to put up some points when I'm down. He also has a pretty decent mid-range, was able to knock down some big shots for me.

Anyways, I'm also using the Bulls in association and am looking for a solid SG that can come off the bench and play some good defense. Anyone have any suggestions?

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

Sefolosha comes to mind straight away for me. I'm looking to start a Timberwolves association up soon, a solid base to work with but they are missing that one marquee player!
