After hours & hours of trawling through the NBA 2k forums on here and hours of wasted time playing Association mode only to have to restart it because of glitches/bugs, i've decided to compile relatively short but essential list of what to do (settings) & why when starting an Association.
1. Player Roles: Turned off (Only if you have downloaded Patch #2) - This will stop a glitch where the Bigs in the game will throw stupid amounts of 3pt/Long range shots causing their stats to be messed up.
2. CPU Trades: Turned off - This will stop the most stupidest CPU trade logic in a sports game from ruining your Association (top players being traded to 5-6 different teams within a single season!) To get around this: Only turn cpu trades on at the start of February (that way you only get 2 weeks of crap trading before the trade deadline)
3. D-Leaguer Glitch UPDATE: The cpu only seems to start signing D-L'ers from 11/7....so you have a week to change the D-L'ers potential's to 35. But if you dont want to change all the D-L'ers in that week, if you check your Transaction news every other day and if some teams have signed a D-L'er, simply go to Rosters, find the player in whichever teams roster and edit his potential to 35. Afterwards he wont get a game all season unless the team really really struggles with injuries (rare) and come the off-season the team wont renew his 1yr contract meaning they'll be back on the FA list and no team will ever sign them again.(This stops the cpu from signing all the D-League players and leaving all the free agents to get old and ****ty - its just not realistic)
4. Set the cpu to sort out Pre-Draft workouts: This will 9/10 avoid you losing the pre-game team & player intros in the rest of your seasons.
5. F.A. Contract Glitch UPDATE: If you use custom Rosters from 2kshare, read on. If not and you start an Association with Living Rosters then this glitch doesn't effect you.
BEFORE you start your association, you have to go to those players that have the "2010 - 2011 contract glitch" like (Boykins, Udoka, Antonio Daniels, Tinsley, Barry) & so on.... sign them to a team & then edit their contracts so that is only a value in the first year & the others are grayed out & then save.... then release the player from the team & repeat steps for all of the problem players.... save the roster & start a new association using that roster & the issue will be resolved.
If anyone has anymore suggestions or if i've missed anything off the list then please post them up.
