    about to start my association up, will control all teams for GM reasons since the CPU's A.I. is still terrible. not sure what team I'll actually run with but will be one of the bad teams with a good young rook.

      After one season some interesting results.

      MVP: Wade, ROY: Irving, 6th: Sessions, DPOY: Josh Smith, MIP: Shannon Brown, COY: Spoelstra
      Heat fell in 1st round to the Knicks after being up 3-1.
      Rose went off and lead the Bulls to the championship over the Warriors in six.

      Draft:

      1. NO - Jeremy Lamb*
      2. PHX - Harrison Barnes
      3. IND - Andre Drummond*
      4. CLE - Jared Sullinger
      5. WAS - Anthony Davis
      6. HOU - Marques Teague
      7. MEM - Terrence Jones
      8. HOU - Michael Gilchrist
      9. TOR - Austin Rivers
      10. ? - Perry Jones

      In free agency, Dwight Howard signs on with the Magic for one more year. However, Chris Paul doesn't re-sign with the Clippers, and leaves for Charlotte. I almost had to use trade override to send him back to the Clips, then I thought about it for a second and it made sense that CP3 would go to the Bobcats because of his relationship with MJ. It's kind of dumb now because they've got CP3, Augustin, and Kemba. I switched Kemba's position to SG, but still they're going to start two short guards.

      Here's my (Cleveland) roster going into 2012-2013:

      PG Irving
      SG Stevenson
      SF Gee
      PF Thompson
      C Varejao
      6 Sullinger**
      7 Sessions
      8 Terrence Ross**
      9 Samuels
      10 Christian Eyenga
      11 Dewayne Dedmon
      12 Manny Harris

      *Traded for each other
      **Ross and Sullinger could definitely be starting sometime this season, but I don't want to rush into things.

        I decided to restart my NBA Association. I will be using the Los Angeles Lakers, 82 game season, 10 minute quarter's.

        Starting Lineup:
        Pg. Steve Nash
        Sg. Kobe Bryant
        Sf. Ron Artest
        Pf. Pau Gasol
        C. Andrew Bynum

        Backups:
        PG. Carlos Arroyo
        SG. Aaron Afflalo
        SF. Devin Ebanks
        PF. Jeff Green
        C. Chris Andersen

        Benchwarmers:
        SG. Trey Johnson
        PF. Derrick Caracter

        So far I've only made 3 trades while only using trade finder. The trades were:

        1. Steve Nash & Grant Hill for Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher & Shannon Brown.

        2. Jeff Green & Carlos Arroy for Grant Hill, Luke Walton & Joe Smith.

        3. Chris Andersen & Aaron Afflalo for Theo Ratliff, Steve Blake & Matt Barnes.

        I would say that I've upgraded over Derek Fisher. The only downside of the bench is at the PG and SF spots because its Carlos Arroyo & Devin Ebanks and their not that good but other than that its a pretty good team if I would say so.

          Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

          In the next day or so I plan on starting an association with either the Raptors, Kings, or Wolves. Im a big Raptors fan and have always liked the Kings and Wolves, but just less than Toronto. Im waiting on either 2K to release a new roster or until I have the time to really look at some of the ones on 2k share so that most the 2nd rd players not in the game now are there, as well as Chandler, Martin, Smith, and maybe BRoy.

          I will most likely go with Toronto as they are my favorite team and are the furthest from being successful. Ive been thinking a lot of who I would trade from them and who to get, but I do like to keep it somewhat realistic. I would be surprised if I did not trade Calderon, since Toronto has tried to do it anyway. Bargnani is a tough one for me. I like him as a shooter, but he is bad as a center as his D is weak. IDK what my plan with him is yet. Either way, Ill have updates once I actually start the thing

            Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

            I have a question for the ppl who have played a season or two and have the draftees either from 2kshare or 2k created drafts. when you go to freestyle practice mode is all of there hotspots cold?

            And if they are is this affecting their play? Cause i have anthony davis on my team and i cant hit a LAYUP. I have a video of him short arming a wide open layup and i think it has something to do with the cold zones.

            I used another player and gave him the same attributes and he's an absolute beast. Please somebody help me out and reply.

              My Team
              PG: John Wall / Eric Maynor / Earl Watson

              SG: Joe Johnson / Nick Young

              SF: Kawhi Leonard (Defensive beast) / Jan Vesely

              PF: Zach Randolph / Kenneth Faried / Reggie Evans

              C: McGee / Omer Asik

              Used all of my picks. Thats the reason why i have joe johnson and zach randolph. NO TRADE OVERRIDE

              Current record: 4-2

              Rate my team and give me suggestions on what i should improve with the current lineup.

                Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

                14 game season with the Magic (I want to progress through multiple seasons instead of getting bored with it and starting over + I hate simming games.)

                2-5 now I simmed two games before i actually started playing games and we won a game. So I technically only have 1 win which is my first win ever on 2k12 so far...on pro lol safe to say I'm not good at this game yet. Getting near the trade deadline and my team is nowhere near championship contention let alone playoff contention so I basically have to start Dwight Howard shopping.

                The Magic are a hard team to build because of these terrible contracts that Otis Smith signed these players to so it is basically trade Dwight Howard and build around that. No clue what I do at the deadline but I know Dwight will not be on the team. I will keep you guys posted on what I decide to do.

                    You could leave out at least one of the firsts easily

                      Whatsup guys, I run a sports gaming youtube channel and my subscribers are requesting a 2k12 franchise series, so here I am!

                      The top requests for teams are the Cavs, Kings, and Magic (would rebuild after trading howard.) What do you guys think of those options, both for entertaining viewers and fun factor?

                      Also if anyone can advise some solid 2kshare rosters and draft classes? I used Rashidi's rosters last year and was happy with them, but what is currently the best roster for association? I am also interested in some realistic draft classes especially the 2012 one.

                      I would really appreciate any help you guys can give me, so I can make the best series possible!

                          If you're on xbox, I'd suggest the Dynasty rosters.

                            Officially got under way with my Raptors franchise. I plan on rebuilding the team but as a fan of them I didnt do much to help them out this year. Basically this is what Ive done:

                            Lost: Calderon, Kleiza
                            Gained: Arenas, Charles Jenkins, Lance Stephenson

                            I sent Stephenson and Valanciunas to the D-League. I ended up with these players through numerous trades, and I added some 2nd round picks, but I gave up my '13 first rounder in the process. I actually may have acquired one as well but i dont remember.

                            I am 1-1, as I beat Philly in a game i simmed by mistake, and then I played the Cavs and lost by 5. It was a ridiculous game. It was my 2nd game Ive played at all of 2k12, and I started off like a joke. I was down 14 at the end of the first, and 12 at the half. I made no progress in the 3rd, but in the fourth I figured out my gameplan with this team. Shoot with Bayless and Bargnani from 3, Drive with DeRozan and post up with Davis. Thats all I did, and I came back quick. I got within 3 in 2 minutes, but I never once took the lead and cut it down to 2 with 10 seconds left but had to foul and was down 4, and then I didnt score anymore. I liked my ability to comeback, which gives me hope that as long as I dont start off bad I can win some games and can always be in it. Of course IDK how well I want to do because I am hoping for a top 5 pick and a top free agent to bring in next year, as well as Valanciuas. Im definetly excited to see where I go from here

                              NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
                              Im a huge Hornets Fan. So naturally thats the team that i started my association with. Tried to do some an association with the Bobcats but i got bored because it wasnt my Hornets.

                              Now i feel that the hornets arent to far from a playoff team if they just had some help for Gordon scoring the ball. Love the bigs that this team has with a rotation of Okafor/Kaman/Landry playing the PF and C positions. Got two good defensive SF in Aminu and Ariza and have great shooters in Gordon and Belinelli at the SG position. But that leaves one problem. Who is going to get them the ball but can also score the ball. I want to keep this realistic and not give up any of the pieces that i already mentioned because i think if we want to win and make the playoffs that we need all of them to work together. So that gets me back to my problem. Who is going to start for my hornets and PG. Well i went out and signed one of my favorite PG Gilbert Arenas. I felt like he could help Gordon out scoring but also be a good vetern to run the offence.

                              Lineup looks like this
                              PG-Arenas
                              SG- Gordon
                              SF- Ariza
                              PF- Okafor
                              C- Kaman
                              6th- Landry

                              Role players
                              Jack
                              Aminu
                              Belinelli

                              Bench players
                              J.Smith
                              M. Banks
