Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

- Tuning down Homecourt advantage during the regular season as well as during the playoffs.

Can someone explain this please. It's obvious that homecourt advantage is something of importance in any sport! Is this an isolated case for simulated games or also for games actually played by us? I would hate to know that I am going into the Staples Center for a road game and there is no sense of urgency to win by the Lakers and no need for me to pre-game strategies how I am going to win if this is toned down.

the glitch is that when you sim playoff games, the home team always wins by like 30 points. series often go to 7 games, with the home team winning everytime

It would be really nice if we could know approximately when this patch will arrive.

And if we could continue with our Association or if we have to restart?

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I have a problem where, deep into Association (15 years or so), the stat engine just completely goes bonkers. People averaging 300 points per game and the like. Just totally throws everything off. Fine one year, and then for certain players the next year it just goes crazy.

I'm sure this was mention in the bug glitches thread but just for the sake of it I will post it here if someone didn't yet but other users including myself have gotten the bug where the coach would walk on the court during in game play action. It didn't do anything major but it just looked weird and funny.

Also is it possible 2k can fix the custom soundtrack more so specifically the intros are too short. The 2k theme plays throughout the most part and then when tip off is about to begin for about 4-5 secs that's when the custom track plays. Last year 2k10 did it perfectly allowing it to play during the intro when the commentators were speaking about the match ups and tip off.

If this has been mention and being looked into the disregard my post. Awesome job again guys can't wait for the patch, take as much time as you need to fix every possible scenario

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Great hearing that you're working on a patch. Here's my take on possible improvements:

1) Adjusted overall ratings have been mentioned already, but besides more realistic ratings, individual tendencies should be improved, too.
Every player is pretty low in all the categories, so all rookies play pretty much the same.
Especially touches need to be redone, there is no rookie above 50. Tendencies should be more related to player skill.

2) There are too many rookie guards over the years. It would be nice if there could be some random variation, for example some years with skilled big men dominating the league instead of athletic guards only.
Also, skills itself should be more balanced.
There should be more multi-skilled players like rebounding guards(Jason Kidd) or passing forwards (Lebron,Grant Hill). More diversity would be nice.

3) Generated coaches only use the generic plays of their assigned playbook, so coaches with the Celtics-playbook will only run screen plays for their SG without any variation or adjustment to the players available.
Don't know if it's possible to make the AI use plays according to team style and player skills, but at least make the playbooks randomly generated instead of generic.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I dont know if it has been mentioned, does anyone know why i have two players that are both in the top 15 in scoring but both dont show up in the league leaders stat category. I know that both of these players were injured for a game or 2. Anyone else have players that are not listed in the league leaders that clearly should be.

I've experienced that with an association or two. Moved Jordan to the Bulls, he led the team (and should have led the league) with 34PPG, but he didn't appear in the league leader list.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

After season one a few players I traded for are asking for 1yr/480K when they should be asking for a multi-million dollar contract.

Sticky this thread please. Association is as important as online to a lot of us.
