How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

im planning to start a 58 game season with the suns as soon as the trade deadline roster update is up

I had today off and spent about 7 hours simming through season1, making ALL the real life trades as they occurred on the schedule, and worked my way through the first offseason.

It's a labor of love...and is definitely a tedious one when controlling all-30 teams.

The conf Finals featured the Lakers/Mavs, and Heat/Celtics.

The Lakers beat the Mavs in 6, and the Heat beat the Celtics in 7.

In the NBA Finals the Lakers got down 2-0, but came back to win the next 4 games and complete the 3-peat. Judging from the boxscores it was the depth of the Lakers that prevailed. The Lakers had more players in double figures, and spread their scoring more. There were a couple of 40pt games in the series. Lebron dropped 47 in a game 2 win, and Kobe dropped 40 and 42 in games 3 and 5. Seemed though that Lebron was spent after his outstanding 47 pt effort, as the rest of his scoring production was very inefficient.

So I'm ready to start season 2 of a brand new association.

Probably gonna run w/ the Wizards. They happened to land the #1 overall pick again, and now have a very dominant backcourt between John Wall (83 overall) and SG rookie Ronnie House (81 overall); he's a 6'7" stud.

Josh Boone is a decent rebounder. Maybe you should consider making a trade though. Azubuike, Brewer, Walker might not be bad to put on the trade block to see if you can get a solid center. It would still leave you with Fields, Mason, and Rautins at the position.

How do you put players on trading block?

I'm just wondering do the majority of you guys handle trades and free agency yourselves in association?

I started 3 new association's today as the recent trade flurry has got me excited about a few teams. Started an association with the Thunder, Nets, and Knicks, and plan on starting one with the Nuggets as I love their new balanced team. No trades whatsoever so far, but I might make a move eventually with the Nets as they don't have a whole lot of offensive weapons outside of Williams, Morrow, and Lopez.

I won the first game with both the Thunder and Nets today, and have only played a single quarter with the Knicks so far, but I plan on finishing that game tomorrow. I seem to be doing pretty well with all 3 of these teams.

I'm best with the Thunder as I love Perkins' addition to this team. He creates balance between the scorers so it's not just Westbrook and Durant. With him getting shots in the post and drawing men inside, I'm able to score with most everybody.

An underrated acquisition for this team is Nate Robinson, he is ridiculously quick and athletic and can get his own shot, as well as hold his own on the defensive end of the floor. They needed another shot-maker and that's exactly what Robinson gives them.

Will update as I get farther along in these association's.

Im 2-1 in my Nets association.My team is playing really good defense.I got Derozan for outlaw and Farmar.My only loss is to Portland, where Deron Williams had an extremely awful game.He shot 3/17 and had 10 turnovers.Next game we won Dallas 79-73.We had a very good foruth quarter and Williasm was clutch in the closing mintues, htting a hard 3 and next possesion a 2+1.
