    Re: Association Q and A

    Roster saves were around 2MB in size, so I doubt it was a space issue.

      Speaking of my player, I was interested in that mode when it was first introduced because I was able to come up from the draft combine and work my way up thru summer league and even D League if I wasnt good enough. Now its just a get to the point mode so I have no desire to create a guy anymore. I rather play My Career and use Rondo like I did last year.



      Also how are the injuries looking this year?

        Either the tweaks they made to the AI and/or the adding of new CBA in Association/Myplayer forced them to remove it or perhaps they no longer have the rights to use the D league teams?

        Either way sucks that they removed it when even though they fixed a lot about Association they added very little feature wise imo

          so why removing a nice feature like that? i mean last year i was also playing (on pc) with real d league rosters and it was really nice to send players there and to sign some REAL players to fill roster spots...i really wish that this "i want myself into a videogame, give me everything i want who cares about the rest" trend never started

            That's terrible news. We've been asking for this to be fixed for a couple of years. Seems like it wouldn't be so difficult to do. What a shame.

Bid on free agents on day 1 and didn't have to advance. I bid on a lot players with over 10 teams on day 1. Same with day 2 and day 3. Didn't have to advance to the next day to bid with a different team. I also made bids to the same players with multiple teams without having to advance.
              This is huge!!!One of my biggest gripes about last years game.

                Seems the same to me. Players playing through injuries instead of sitting out.

                    What about AllStar Weekend? How is the selection for the dunk contest and 3pt shootout, is it based on ratings, or what the player did in the season,etc..

                    Thanks

                      A couple of questions

                      If the cpu is stacked at a position, like 2 pg rated in the 90s, does the cpu start both or does it bench the lower rated ones?

                      Does the cpu value draft picks correctly? I remember being able to trade a scrub to a potential lottery team for its first round pick.

                      BTW thanks for doing this. I didn't really know what total sim control was until you explained it. It says something about a game company when I have to learn about an aspect of a game from someone on a message board than from the company itself.

                        First I want to say I REALLY appreciate you doing this for us, you have been the only person I've noticed giving us the details we seek on association mode. A few questions to get clarity...

                        Potential so far still seems like a problem. Be thankful for editing draft classes. ---
                        So after year 5 or so years are you seeing much more players rated highly in the NBA compared to the start of the association? Could you take a quick look that an estimate how many players are now 90+?

                        Can you look at a few rookies like MKG and Davis and let us know what sig skills were added in later seasons if any? Thanks.

                          This really takes away some of my excitement for the game knowing that the D-League is gone and I can't send any of the people I want to develop down. Can't make veteran decision's anymore when I know a rookie won't help the team.
                          The Buzz is Back in the Queen City. Cho........I have no idea what you are going to do in this draft man.

                            Seems like its ratings based.

                              Actually after year 5 I noticed less high rated players. Better than last year. I would have to go back and count how many 90 plus. Didn't see many. A. Davis developed active hands. MKG developed Chase down artist and Lock down defender.

                              The great thing about sig skills is they developer over the years not in 1 year. I made a guy all 99s and it took him 4 years to develop 4 sig skills.

                                The most I seen was 5 so far. Have to check that out.
