Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Beware the 2kshare draft classes up right now. The ratings seem okay (only a few players above 75) but this is only because the awareness is low on most of the players. Shabazz had a 89 rating for inside,close,midrange, and 3pt! And the pass ratings are too high (usually in the 60s or higher for the good sfs). This compounded with the ridiculous progression system leads to multiple guys averaging 15+,5+,5+. Shabazz averaged 23,7,7 in his 3rd or 4th year (and this is after I lowered some of his ratings and tendencies). I hope the guy who made realistic draft classes last year does them again (His name is escaping me right now).

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Just started an association with the Bulls.

Never played an association before, but I do like I can lock myself in to just 1 position.

Might bump it up to Superstar as I was destroying the opposition with D.Rose.

Anyway, I was under the impression you would earn VC by playing Association games as well?

Just finished my first game and didn't earn anything, does it matter on what kind of options you play?

I do 5 minute quarters on All-Star difficulty. Default sliders.

Edit: Oh and yes, I am online. I know you can't earn any if you are offline.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Meh...sounds like you took advantage of the CPU...no way that comes close to getting done in real life.

Based on what we think Cleveland is going to do this season I agree. But if you look at how they rank (or at least on my association) that would project to be right on the cusp of the lottery. In my sim only league they finished right under .500 with like the 10th or 11th pick.

Asik has some value, not in my personal opinion but as far as potential goes. He was coveted by a few teams before getting overpaid by the Rockets. Forbes isn't a bad prospect and Delfino could be a contributing player in a young backcourt. Plus Cleveland is shopping Varejao and everyone knows athletic bigs who make it on hustle tend to fall off after 30.

I've seen way way worse on this forum. But I see where you're coming from.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started with the Hornets.......great young core I think.....Gordon and Davis are the great 1-2 punch also I signed Tracy Mcgrady and Mickael Pietrus for bench help.Also I traded my 2013 1st round draft pick and a low level player to Kings for PF Thomas Robinson.At PG I have Rivers so I think I can do some good here......what do you guys think?

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

These trades have been flat out horrible.

Varejao has awful trade value. I was looking to start an association with the Cavs and put him on trade finder and the offers were pretty bad...even after improving his rating.

A fix to autosave in association is to delete your save after its loaded. Then save right before you exit. You should also be able to create a new save after your association loads, delete it, and then autosave is disabled as it is looking for the most recent save. Meanwhile your original save (the one used to initially load your association) is still there.

I'm going to do one where i play as the Bulls, Wolves, and one other team that I rebuild. I'm torn between the Kings (i would trade Tyreke for Evan Turner), and the Cavs (I would like to deal Kyrie for Anthony Davis).

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

I started with Timberwolves and simmed the 1st season as i always. 41-41 7th seed. lost 1st round. Heat over Lakers in finals.

Off Season:
traded Roy and Kirlenko for Ibaka - I put out a trade finder and this was offered. Not sure why OKC would do this in real life but Roy is rated 80 and kirelenk 74.

resigned bulinger - although he sucks. I will trade him if i get an injury to a big.
signed SF Gee

16th pick - a top 5 SG was available. 78 rated
traded barea for 17th pick as it was offered - picked up a lottery pg/sg - 75 rated


So, i cheated a bit by the cpu making dumb offerss. but this does happen in real life too.

pg - rubio
sg - rookie
sf = Gee
PF Love
C - Petrovic - can only play 27 minutes a game because he is too tired.

bench
Ibaka - great defenese but always in foul trouble
rookie pg/sg
Ridinour - horrible in the game
Bulligner - horrible too
Williams - i play at both PF and SF
Steisma - quite good in the game

Season 3-0 on pro sim . beat Dallas, utah and hawks - all bad teams
my offense seems good at about 100 ppg. but cpu is only scoring 89 ppg. utah had 22 offensive boards. but they start devin harris? he is 79 rated in the game for some reason. I need to fix cpu lack of scoring. but i am going to wait until i play a good team.

rubio 14 ppg, 9.0 ***
love 21 ppg, 9 rb
rookie 21 ppg - this guy is just great in the game. he hits all open shots - i play real player % too.
pertrovic 9 ppg 7 rb
gee 9 ppg 5 rb - he is a very good defender i the game
rookie 11 ppg 5 ***
ridinour - horrible
bulinger - horrilbe
william - 7 ppg 4 rb
ibaka 5 ppg 8 7rb - in 22 minutes a game only

overall, fg% a little over 500 but 3 point less than 300. i could not score inside on utah but killed them with kickouts.

hawks were tough because josh smith is everywhere and played 40 minutes. but, horford was horrible against petrovic and ibaka.

dallas was horrible too. dirk had 18 but after him marion was their only good player. mayo did nothing and collison was horrible.

orlando and charlotte are also 3-0??

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Not to mention, Indiana wouldn't trade away their best perimeter defender and someone with that much potential for Eric Gordon. Especially when they already have an influx of guards and scorers on their team.

It's a lot more even of a trade than most people think. Eric Gordon is a better scorer, but is injury prone and has pretty much reached his potential. Paul George is a better defender and has a ton of potential, but his offensive game is still really raw (other than his three point shot). Eric Gordon also is and Indiana native, so a TON of fans want him on the team, and trading for him is a constant discussion on Indiana Pacer forums. He also skill wise is just as good of a perimeter defender as George is, he just is a lot smaller (if you don't believe me watch some of his play from international games with team USA).

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started a Wizards fantasy draft association. I randomly got my sister to pick a number from 1-30, and they were team No. 5 in the draft order. Decided to build a grinding defensive team, since the pick I'd get in the 2nd round (55th) wouldn't yearn another superstar:

G Derrick Rose (29 PPG, 5 RPG, 9 APG)
G Thabo Sefolosha
F Gerald Wallace (15 PPG, 7 RPG, 3 APG)
F Paul Millsap (17 PPG, 10 APG, 2 APG)
C Greg Oden (16 PPG, 8 RPG, 2 BPG)

G Eric Maynor
G Anthony Morrow
F Andrei Kirilenko
F Kenneth Faried (11 PPG, 8 RPG)
C Anderson Varejao

After the 1st season, we finished 56-26 (1st league, 1st East); D-Rose won MVP (28 PPG, 5 RPG, 9 APG), and got named to the All-NBA First Team. I love the new Sim Game Control!

Unfortunately, Millsap tore his MCL on the second-last game of the season while simming...and championship dreams are slimmer, but not unrealistic.

Andy is on a decline and they got 2 young promising players and a veteran.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Out of Washington, New Orleans, and Charlotte, who do you think would be the most challenging to build up?

[project86er]

I'm trying to decide between the Hornets, Kings, Warriors.
