Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I've seen a few mentions here and there of people saying they are hanging on a black screen between quarters. If you are one of these people, please get in touch with me ASAP.

Yeah I'm one of those people

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I am getting the black screen from an in game save. It wasn't during a timeout.It was the fourth quarter, after a score before inbounding of a pass. When reloading the file the screen goes black and lock up the xbox 360 and I have to do a hard reboot.

Thanks

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

Thanks for the update!

If all of these issues can be fixed, then this will be the greatest franchise mode in a sports game ever.

Thanks for the update Simballer. If there is a way to tweak foul sliders, non shooting fouls need touched(reachin, loose ball fouls, and over the back are not called near enough. I have commit fouls to 100 and all those mentioned at 100 as well.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

What about 6th Men players always becoming starters? Guys like Jamal Crawford, Manu Ginobili, etc.

This has been an issue in the past 2K games as well. This occurs because the 6th man has a higher overall rating than the starter.

So Manu Ginobili is higher than George Hill so Ginobili ends up taking his spot.

See, sometimes 'Complaining' can be a good thing

Looks like everything i've had a problem with is being fixed on top of things I didn't even realize.

Although we would all like that, if they're smart they won't touch that query with a ten foot pole. The should stay silent until 5 minutes after it is actually available. Nowadays too many things can and do go wrong, often delaying things by several days, really causing people to lose their religion.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

I assume that since the title says "Association: In-Progress" then that means these changes will works with our current Associations. No?

Either way this is great news and I'll still be slowly plugging away at my current Association while we wait for more info.

Thanks for making such a great game.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

So this would work with current association?

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

That's it, I'm sold.

I was leaning towards buying this game, but wanted to see if the Association bugs were going to be fixed. Looks like all the major issues are going to be dealt with.

That's all I needed to know. Sold.

Re: Association: In-Progress Patch Items

This is not a final list. Not all of these have fixes just, I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up so you are aware of what I am looking into for the Association. As you guys know, we are always listening to the community; so if you think we missed anything important, this is a good place to let me know.

Items we are looking into:
- Tuning down Homecourt advantage during the regular season as well as during the playoffs.
- Issue with players having their roles adjusted downward when they become injured, which results in a low morale, which ultimately results in skewed Team Chemistry values around the league.
- Issue where performing Weekly Practices makes your players have 1-star trade value.
- Issue where Intentional Fouls are disabled after participating in an Intra-Squad Scrimmage.
- Tuning Draft Class values to be more in-line with the players they are replacing in the league. Players will be less uniform in size/weight to their position as well (meaning there will be small chances for talented 6'6 point guards, 7' small forwards, etc.).
- Issue with trade frequency being greatly reduced in future years. Also, tuning the timing of in-season trades.
- Issue with good players still in the free agent pool after the Free Agents period has ended.
- Issue with the Qualifying Offers time period being automatically skipped on occasion, causing the loss matching rights on restricted free agents.
- Loosening the logic the CPU uses to decide whether to accept or decline team contract options.
- Issue with undrafted free agents signing unrealistic contracts (PC users won't notice this issue).
- Issue with in-game saves when the save is made while the game is in a timeout situation (don't create in-game saves during timeouts until the patch is released).

Mind you, this list isn't comprehensive. These are just the core issues we are looking at right now. I've seen a few mentions here and there of people saying they are hanging on a black screen between quarters. If you are one of these people, please get in touch with me ASAP.

First of all, thanks for a great game, and thanks for listening.

haloofduty mentioned in the Association thread (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...broken-64.html) that rookies in association mode remain in the Prospect role their entire career.

Someone also noted in the same thread that prospects that have an F potential can still rise to be superstars.

Lastly, not sure whether it's generated classes or custom classes, but someone said that all rookies, no matter when drafted, show being from the class of 2011.

This happened to me. Luckily I had a backup file saved!
