How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

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

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?

For a cheap fix, I'd take a look at Alonzo Gee. On updated rosters he's with washington, if not he's either in the FA or with the Spurs. Nice little jumper, athletic around the rim, and he plays good defense for me. He's only like 24 too.

I started with Cavs and traded Jamison and some scrub for Tyrus Thomas and some scrub.
I play very fast paced game and shoot alot of threes. Defense sucks but hey you gotta give in somewhere. I won because I was lights out from three but then i have lost 5 straight very close games.

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

I started one with the Knicks to get them back to greatness.I made a couple of trades. I wanted to bring OJ Mayo to a bigger market so i traded for him.
Trade 1 Wilson Chandler,Timofey Mozgov and a first pick for OJ Mayo
Trade 2 Roger Mason and Landry for Jerrd Bayless
Trade 3 Raymond Felton and Bill Walker for Josh Childress and Earl Clark
Signed Gerald Green
Andy Rautins sent to D-league
Hopefully I can bring a ring to the Big Apple

Here is a question for those with Bulls Associations:

What have you done with Scalabrine?

Thinking of packaging him off with a bunch of other scrubs for a roleplayer or a more talented scrub.

Maaannn I love Scal' don't trade him, depending on your plans, I'd keep him. I always keep him, he can come up big for you, he saved me a couple times. Ran with a Rose-Reddick-Korver-Scal'-Noah line-up down 15 against SA, we lit them up, Rose got these guys wide open shots then, ran the Pick-n-Pop with Rose and Scal', works to perfection. Other than that, he'll play a solid 3-4 mins a game.

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

Sup guys?

Bulls Assoc:

Quick question, Option 1 or Option 2?

Option 1:
Make a trade for Josh Smith and Mike Bibby

Option 2:
Make a trade for Pietrus, Reddick and Gortat

If I take option 1, I'm going to trade for Turiaf and Landry Fields also.

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

0-3 with the Nets.

Been lights out with Devin Harris and Iverson from 3 point land. Lopez has played strong. Only problem, I just can't seem to hold on to a lead.

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!

Hi, finally again makes someone a Association with the Timberwolves. I was wondering what you have made fo reasonable trades or want to do? Because I think the roster actually is pretty good until one probably on the center and shooting guard position. But does not know which player I could take here, maybe Perkins for Center ?

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

Been dying to play association, so even though Rashidi's rosters aren't association ready yet, I had to start my "real Detroit" franchise. I limit myself to one trade involving my starting roster and play through until dictated otherwise by the game (If the CPU offers me a fair trade) or if in the Pistons case this year, we need to be sellers at the deadline.

Anyways, my main fix if I did take over as GM of the Pistons would be to get rid of the contracts that got Joe Dumars fired... oh wait, he's still GM? I should have guessed.

So, I traded Ben Gordon, Charlie Villaneuva, and my entire draft in '12 for Kevin Love, Corey Brewer, and the Wolves '11 2nd rounder. I am a huge Kevin Love fan in real life, and feel his rebounding will be huge for the Pistons. I felt this was a fair deal, as Love seems to be in Rambis's doghouse every other day, and they did get two quality players, both with high NBA2K11 potential (regardless of how they will suck IRL.)

Brewer had a starting role, so I used the trade finder and was offered Jamario Moon and Cleveland's '12 1st rounder for him and my 2nd rounder in 11. First round pick + Cleveland? Sign me up.

I forgot to move Austin Daye's role from starter before the season, so I traded him for Julian Wright. Then came out and socked the Nets. News to come, but thoughts on my early start?

EDIT: It should be noted, I still have a full draft in '11, and a 1st rounder in 12 after the moves. Also 33.02M under the cap for 12! I think this is a great start to rebuilding, and also as fair as possible for trying to maintain realism and fair deals!

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

THis new update is doing both goods and bads to my association. I use the C's and Ray Allen's shot stick timing has changed -_- and today I went from shooting at 49% 3's, to shooting 0/8.

But the AI seemed to have changed a bit, I played the OKC today and I lost by 1 point -_- 103-102. And Kevin Durant only shot 47 shots and scored 42 points on crappy shooting. I still think some of the AI are still taking stupid shots and I've noted that Westbrook didn't drive against Rondo at all and instead just stood there for 5-6 seconds waiting for Durant to come off plays for the open shot. And it pisses me off to see predictable AI. Any help?

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

Hello from Norway! I'm currenly using Wizards, playing 10 min quarters and HoF difficulty.

PG Wall
SG Arenas
SF Howard
PF Blatche
C McGee

Have played 3 games and is 2-1 and here is a little about the games.

Wizards 106-101 Orlando
Pretty even game and I outscored them in the 4th. Wall, Blatche and McGee were huuuuge.

Wizards 103 - 115 Hawks
I was struggling all game long and it was Hawks deserved the win. They went for 43 points in the 4th quarter, it was just insane! Joe Johnson is a true beast.

76ers 90 - 101 Wizards
Relatively easy game, controlled it all the way. McGee beasted.

I'm pleased with the opening. A win on the road against Magic is big! My three top performers are Wall who averages almost 21 points, 7 assists and 2,7 steals McGee is a giant in paint on D, averaging 11,7 rebs and 5,3 blks, also has 15,7 ppg! Blatche has also been big and is doing a little bit of everything

Fun game, love playing with Wizards!

I just started a Bulls Assoc. Simmed season one, made it to the conference championship after beating Miami 4-2(Simmed the series until the decisive Game 6)

Simmed the ECC, lost to the Celtics

Drafted some bust. And in free agency I picked up Gee. Hes the guy off the bench behind Ronnie Brewer.

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

in my hawks franchise, i've been playing well but a lot of people on my bench are seeing dips in overall because of bad morale. The biggest is mike bibby. I've been using teague as my starter, so is it just that he's not starting? he gets around 20 minutes a game, and i don't want to give him anymore. Another player who's morale is affecting him is pachulia, and his agent says he wants more minutes. well, im giving him 20 right now as a back up to noah, so seems like he should be happy. im afraid to trade any of these guys because then the players who come in after them are going to have the same issue. anyone else have this issue?

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

Started a new Nets franchise and I took into account that OJ Mayo's role has been declining. I ended up trading Murphy, D. James, and 2 1st Rounders for Mayo and Thabeet.

This was an absolute steal for me since it gives me a starting caliber 2 and a better backup C than Johan Petro. The Grizzlies now have size behind Randolph and a big expiring. James will fit in behind Rudy with Arthur, Carrol, Young, etc. lol

Anyways, we're 2-0 now after pulling off close wins against the Suns and Blazers. Unfortunately, Kris Humphries who I have starting over Favors got injured for 4-6 weeks.

Rotation:
Harris/Farmar
Mayo/Morrow
Outlaw/Williams
Joe Smith(Humphries will have this spot putting Smith on IR)/Favors
Lopez/Thabeet
