Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

A question on 30-control free agency period....how do you switch between teams within free agency without advancing a day each time?

You go into the first free agency screen as one team (shows team overview with accepted and pending offers); then to view free agents and make offers you press Start, but that automatically advances the free agency period by one day. In order to sign free agents for a 2nd team, you have to back out to the Offseason Tasks main page, switch teams, then re-enter. This advances free agency another day.

30 teams and only 16 free agency days...is a problem. Can someone help a confused guy out?

You can't...2k's FA period sucks, and not made for 30 team control, barely good enough for 1 team. What you have to do is figure out who is going to resign and re-sign players during the season...do this under the "contract entensions" page.

Then to sign players to new teams you're going to have to map it all out before entering the free agency perio. Meaning, decide who is going where and for how much, then do that. You will run out of days though which is the problem...you'll have to manually go to the FA screen and sign players. I haven't figured out how I'm going to do it exactly but that's wha I'm thinking we have to do cuz their FA system is the worst I've ever seen in a sports game.

Thanks Irish, really helpful....and you're right, that's terrible. Even given this, you, Beds, and others are making quite a bright time of this excellent, but flawed, experience.

Seems like a very simple solution would be for 2K to offer an option in association mode for user approval of all CPU trades or signings, or a much improved association mode and interfaces. But for now.....

Wasn't Houston prepared to send nearly that much for Gasol in the Chris Paul to LAL trade?

Yes but the trade would have allowed them to sign nene also which is who Houston really wanted as for that nj trade why would Houston give up there leading scorer and star pg for Lopez and hedo that fills 1 need and creates 2 holes and then also give up a 1st

Both valid points. Point is, doing a D12 trade to the Nets is incredibly difficult.

A couple of points:
I think you misunderstand my post. This is between LAL, HOU, and ORL. I'm still struggling to find a way to trade Dwight to NJ. The trade invlolved Houston getting Pau Gasol in exchange for Kevin Martin, Chase Budinger, and Goran Dragic. Martin is not a PG. That is Kyle Lowry. Houston's 6th man is SG Courtney Lee so Lee can start at SG.

They were going to try to sign Nene, but they were also going to trade Louis Scola to the Hornets. They now keep Scola and would have a front court of Gasol, Scola, Patrick Patterson, Samuel Dalembert, and Jordan Hill. Budinger would be replaced in the lineup by Terrence Williams and Dragic by Johnny Flynn.

This would be the lineup before and after
Before
Lowry, Dragic
Martin, Lee
Parsons, Budinger
Scola, Patterson
Dalembert, Hill

After
Lowry, Flynn
Lee
Parsons, Williams
Scola, Patterson
Gasol, Dalembert/Hill

No problem. I'm still trying to think of a way to get Dwight to New Jersey lol

Dwight shouldn't be going to New Jersey though. As he's it made it known that he doesn't want to join a crappy Nets team until the off-season. The only trade I would make with Dwight is to the Lakers

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

Hmm, thats a tough one.

You'd think it would only make sense to send him to a playoff caliber team. But you need a playoff team, with alot of cap room, and in need of a power forward...

Anybody know of a team that fits that mold?

Im sure you could trade him for some type of protected 1st round pick

Boozer is moveable. I know I kind of got in on this late. If you wanted to go all out, there is/was talk of the Bulls trading Boozer and Noah and possibly Deng to the Magic for Howard. I doubt the Bulls would ever do this but it was talked about. If you want to get Dwight that could work.

Other than that, Boozer could be traded for a team desperately in need of a scoring PF that is on the edge of making the Playoffs. Nuggets would be in need for a little bit until Faried get's going. The Spurs "could" use a PF scoring threat. The Warriors could move Lee to center and play Boozer at PF. The Warriors have been looking for another post presence for a while.

amnesty Boozer.. thats da only way ur gonna get rid of him w/o taking along another horrible contract with it..

n if da Bulls were to get D12.. i think they have to give up Noah, Deng and Asik or Gibson.. n of course Hedu has to go wherever Howard goes.. because da Magic will need da cap space to continue to rebuild..

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

i have a scenario that seems realistic for my franchise.. but i would like to get the OS community thoughts..

Lakers get:
D12
Hedu
2nd rd pick

Magic get:
Bynum
Gasol
1st rd pick

then in a seperate move..

Rockets get:
Gasol
Jason Richardson

Magic get:
Monta Ellis

Warriors get:
Kevin Martin

of course this is just a base.. i will need to add some filler players for cap space purposes.. and send some more picks to the Rockets.. but i just wanted to see what u guys think.. my reasons for the 2nd deal is.. the Rockets (for some odd reason) really wants Pau Gasol.. the Warriors will now put the franchise in Curry's hands.. and he now has a player who doesnt need the ball in his hands to be effective.. and now the Magic can build around Bynum and Ellis..

Warriors wouldn't do it. The only way they move Ellis is if they get upgrade at the 3 that gives them defensive presence while also being a solid scorer or if they could get a good center back

i could add Terrence Williams to the deal.. he's under rated but can play good D and can create his own shot.. and he plays the 3.. lol.. would this sweeten the deal??..

Boozer was never talked about with the Magic it was always Deng and Noah for Howard. The Spurs wouldn't want Boozer as that forces them to take on too much salary and their offer would be pretty crap to Bulls anyway. The Nuggets have Nene and need to take care of Lawson and Gallinari in the future so they wouldn't have much interest. The Warriors are trying to get better defensively so they wouldn't want two of the worst defensive players in the league down-low. Also, Boozer doesn't provide that great of post presence as he's more of PnR and Pick and Pop player
