Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

[h2oPr00f]

This thread was around last year, and i found it pretty useful. Has anyone completely retooled the team in their own image?

I trade Douglas every year (i need pass-first PGs), and am definitley moving Fields to make room for Shump, as he is a blast to use and only going to get better thru drills.

Not sure what other moves i might make, I doubt I am the only one considering trading Amare (no, it won't in real life, but this is a video game damnit!)

Anyone else? Thoughts? Bueller?

Hears a thought use a different team the Knicks don't play D...and need new coaching

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

Yeah, I don't like using the Knicks because D' Antoni sucks and he is under a expensive long term contract. Makes it impossible to get better defensively.

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I have. Mainly because as others have mentioned, I want a team that plays better defense. But what I have in mind is a little more radical and very video game based, but if its fun for me, that is what matters, right?

This is what my starting five would look like:

PG - Aaron Craft (CAP)
Point guard out of Ohio State. Plays defense like there is no tomorrow, can pass the ball, and can slash when he needs to score. I don't need a scoring PG like CP3. I want a ball general that can pass and play defense.

SG - Allan Houston (CAP)
Recreate him as a rookie without the blow out knees. 'nuff said. He's my scorer and deadly sharpshooter from beyond the arc.

SF - Harrison Barnes (CAP)
He's my other scorer.

PF - Amar'e Stoudemire or CAP
Not sure about this one. Still thinking about it.

C - Tyson Chandler
He's the only one I'd keep because he plays good defense and rebounds.

I would round out the bench with the current Knicks bench.

I know its pretty radical and purely fantasy, but it looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I always fire D'antoni after the first season, so that's not a worry. I also go after players who play D, i end up turning over most of the roster. Hording draft picks is always fun too.

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I usually stick with the same core. Starting line up would be:

Davis
Shumpert
Melo
Amare
Chandler

6th man is Fields.

I will try and make a trade (usually using Douglas and maybe a 2013 1st or 2nd pick) for a decent big to backup Amare and Chandler. I develop Shumpert and I usually sign AK47 from free agency.

I have blown the whole team up before but I find that I have more fun keeping most of the players that are already on the team.

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I kept the team as is. I signed kenyon martin and wilson chanhe team sucks defensively but, Shumpert is beastly so you should be fine.

LOL CP3 is a general, a natural PG. He doesn't score a lot, he mainly assists, I don't know what have you been seeing, just saying

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I traded Douglas, Fields, Bibby and 1st 2013 for Eric Gordon, 2nd 2012..
I traded Balkman and a 2nd for Markief Morris from PHX (PF)

Signed AK47
Signed Dalenbert

Signed Stackhouse and Charlie Bell, was able to trade both for James Posey
Signed Antone Wright SG for 12th man spot

Davis
Gordon
Melo
Stat
Chandler
------------
AK47
Shump
Morris
Dalenbert
Walker
Posey
Wright (0 minutes)

I probably won't resign AK47.. will look for a better 6th man. I did resign Baron Davis but next year him and Shump will basically spilt the role..

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

Im sticking with Davis for the first season but my starter will definately be Shump after. His size and speed is just crazy, he outmatches any pointguard put aginst him. Im gonna let Fields walk with the hopes of signing JR Smith. Bill Walker is a must stay. Then sign defensive front court players, gonna try to acquire Chris Anderson for his defense and cool factor.

[GOBLUE_08]

My first order of business this year was to fire Pringles but i couldnt afford any of the other coaches lol. I did sign Ak47 to help out our D but the rest of that bench is incredibly suspect and my scoring is halted any time Stat and Melo arent on the floor. I split minutes between douglas and BD at the point, i like shumperts game alot though so i probably wont be bringing davis back next season. Im only through 4 games so far and im having some trouble scoring, I hate playing run and gun ball so thats probably the reason why im strugglin right now

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

Douglas is terrible, I had to deal him

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

Quick 41 pick and roll with chandler alley oop get the garden going stupid. I bust the stupid dope moves.

Re: Knicks 2k12 Association users: what have you changed?

I traded Barron Davis, Tony Douglas and a 1st rounder for Steph Curry and their 2nd rounder.

Did you trade override? I didn't think GSW would trade curry. I think I was messing around one day and somehow got them like four number ones (12+13) and amare and they said nah.
