Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

What rosters are you using that has Julyan Stone? I can't seem to find a good one with him in it. Also are you on ps3 or 360?

Hyperballer21's on 360. Roster is real good. Hex editing is sweet. All the jerseys, 2nd rounders, etc are unlocked. No tendencies or ratings though I don't think. That's for the roster teams I guess.

The only problem is that some or all of the 2nd rounders have messed up birthdays. Quincy Miller is only about to be 20 but he's 22 on these rosters.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Alright Started My Assocaition With O-Town And I Plann On Rebuilding Them Around Maurice Harkless The Young Stud Out Of St. John's Plan On Making A Youth Movement Linda Like Detroit Pistons... As of right now I have made no moves but I know I need help in the front court I'm thinking about signing Greg Oden or possibly making a move to get Fab Melo... I know Hedo is on his way out and I'll probably let him go for a second round draft pick or trade him to the C's for Fab Melo do you think that trade is cheese trying to keep my moves real as possible.. I need help with the direction with this team.. I'm thinking about getting younger at the point maybe have J.Nelson come off the bench..

Starting Five
1.J.Nelson
2.A.Afflalo
3.Hedo- For Now But Harkless will be taking over
4.Glen Davis
5.N.Vucevic- But looking to move himaybe get Oden or Fab Melo

Sixth Man- A.Harrriington

Any tips or advice to help me turn this team around would be great.. Just playing this association until Bed's Roster and draft classes become available then I'm starting one with my Hometeam Pistons.. Help me bring O-Town Back Fellas!!! Lol

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Any ideas to make association mode more challenging/any restrictions to put in place?

It's too easy to take a bad team, get good draft picks, sign big free agents, use trade finder, and you're an elite team in 3-4 years. Anyone have any ideas/restrictions to put in place? I like simming and only playing a handful of games each year. One idea I had was to make some guys like Howard and Paul and LeBron have long-term deals (or long-er for some guys like LeBron) by default so I can't sign them. Also, I was thinking of always trading my draft picks for nothing so then if I wanted a draft pick, I'd have to get rid of a player. And also so I couldn't trade draft picks for player packages.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Just finished a game at home against the bobcats in what can only be described as ugly.



The final score was 74-67 Raptors and neither team shot particularly well, both under 45%. Andrea Bargnani led all scorers with 18, while Kyle Lowry chipped in 16 and Terrence Ross had 13 for the raps. Demar Derozan was disappointing, scoring only 6 points on 4-10 shooting.

Gerald Henderson and Ben Gordon led the cats on scoring with 12 each. Even though we got the W, it was not a good performance from us offensively, we need to do better. We have a hard stretch of games coming up against Boston, Indiana, Detroit, Oklahoma City and the Knicks. We currently sit at 3-1, lets see where we are after.

Also I'd like to trade Ed Davis. He does nothing for me offensively and doesn't rebound how I'd like him to be. Any suggestions?

Yes. Don't use trade finder. The AI offers WAY too much for your players when you use Trade Finder, so it's just safer to leave it alone. If you want to do trades, check out my Official OS Trade Finder thread, and also the guide to realistic trading in Offline Associations I link to within that thread.

When it comes to Free Agency, just use whatever you feel is realistic sense. For instance, if you're a bad team like the Pistons, Raptors, etc., no aging, big name Free Agent (or any player looking for a title) is going to sign with your team. So when it comes to those players, don't even offer them a contract and instead try to build your team with multiple lower-level pieces.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started Lakers dynasty to try and get Kobe one more ring and then rebuild. Played Dallas first game and got drilled 103-86 gasol played horrible with only 6p 4r. Kobe had 32p and Howard had 22p 10r. For Dallas mayo hit everything and had 29.

I normally play with minn and wanted to start another one so that I don't get bored but the change in style of play between the two teams is drastic and hard to get used to

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

So I'm 1-2 In my Orlando project it's fun and really Frustating at the same time.. A.Afflalo has become a staple player in my offence my go to guy he's averaging 25ppg 5rpg so he's balling.. Hedo is acting like a crybaby doesn't want to sign a comtract extension and his morale is becoming a cancer to my team.. He has to go.. My home opener we got smoked by the Nuggets too much Iggy and faried with a little Jordan Hamilton on top!!! We whooped the Suns by 10 points and my game against the bulls was horrible (Charles Barkley voice) Maurice Harkless my rookie and the guy I'm rebuilding my team around is coming along slow 16ppg 7rpg 4apg he's a little raw on the offense side he can't finish around the cup and his jumper forget about it!!! Lol but man can the rook run the fastbreak dish out some nice dimes... But with development he will be a future star in the league.. Glen Davis is playing alright mainly the clean up guy.. Jameer Nelson is playing descent but I'm thinking about going younger in the backcourt.. I want to run!! And head coach J. Vaughan wants to run like his old days in Utah!!! Lol The team is still in tact the only move I made was trading Nikola Vucevic and Daniel Orton and a second round pick to the C's For Fab Melo.. Realistic Trade that's what I'm about...

Starting 5
1.J. Nelson- want to get younger any suggestions
2.A.Afflalo- Balling He's good no moves with him
3.Hedo-Cry baby team cancer he gots to go Moving M.Harkless in to that spot
4.Glen Davis- playing good might want to ungrade
5.Fab Melo- superman replacement possible star of the team if M.Harkless doesn't step up to the plate
Sixth Man- My Dude Al Harrington Provides that spark of the pine

Bench
1. Ishmael Smith- Might give him the keys to the car if J.Nelson game falls off
2. J.J.- Come on you know what he does jumper is wet!!!
3. Q. Richardson- man surprise of the team Q is balling like the clipper days!!!
4. A.Nicholson- Not sure about him might be trade bait
5. Gustav- decent might upgrade

Any tips on younger Point guards I should go for?? I'm also thinking about signing Hassen Whiteside a young 7 footer free agent coming over the bench I'll have some beef in the front court.. But I'm willing to address the backcourt and bring in the youthmovement Hedo and Nicholson have to go!!! Fellas give me some moves to help this team become the more fast pace!!! I need point guards and maybe a Powerforward thanks.. Also how do you change your play book I'm a PS3 guy

If I'm not mistaken Hedo's contract is almost done so you might be best just riding it out until he opts for free agency in the offseason. As far as young PGs take a look at either Isiah Thomas or Aaron Brooks (whichever one has the lower morale) in Sacramento. I'd look to dump Ayon, Nicholson, and/or Richardson.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Decided to continue with my Heat association, Now 5-1 standing. Mike miller is unhappy with his role so i decided to look for a trade with and pulled out this one:
- Heat gets Biedrins (61 overall, high post D and Reb; unhappy with GS), and Charles Jenkins (62 overall but B potential)
- Warriors gets Miller (71) and Anthony (61)

Lost a game vs the hawks as JSmoove went 29 and 16 against me. Lebron is playing hurt for 1-2 weeks but still unstoppable. So no excuse on that.

Won against Denver with my very first 2k13 triple double for lebron, as he had 14pts, 12reb and 14asst. Im having problems with his scoring lately, due to his injury though.

Current stats: Heat 5-1
James 22.3pts 7.8reb 7.8asst
Wade 20.5pts 6.4asst
Allen 19.8pts
Bosh 13.4 pts 6.5reb

Thanks Brutha I preciate it.. And Hedo is pissing me off off his morale is killing my squad so off season he can take his *** somewhere else!!! Lol And yeah I'm getting rid of Nicholson And Ayon.. But I might keep Richardson for that vet leadership... Lol You know I could make a move for Dragic since the suns have Marshall maybe Hedo and Nicholson make it as realistic as possible.. Any young power forward you would suggestion??? Oh and Monta Ellis is going to be a free agent too!!! Lol

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started one with the Hawks. I made a thread about a Trade Finder roster I had, I decided to scratch that and go with a more realistic lineup.

1. Jeff Teague/Lou Williams
2. Anthony Morrow/DeShawn Stevenson
3. Delani Galanari/Kyle Krover
4. Smitty (Josh Smith)/Z. Pachulia
5. Al Horford/Greg Oden

Traded Devin Harris for Galanari, now I need to upgrade the two guard position. I may do it through the draft, idk yet, depends on how we look on the court.

Re: Check out my Cleveland Cavs association

I am excited to get the season started! I may start a dynasty blog on here if there is interest.

Of course. Keep us updated.
And where do i find the overall strength of my team (like 75 in the Cavs' case)?
What drill did you make with Thompson? I tried one with Evans (Shooting) and Cousins (Post) and failed both times.
