Re: Living in the Past with NBA 2K11
When I get the game I'm going to add all of the Classic teams, but I'll just keep it to 3 Bulls teams and 1 Utah team. I'll run with 86 Bulls (try to build a team around MJ) and include the first year team of each 3 - peat. Something like this:
West
Memphis
96 Utah replaces NO
92 Portland replaces Minnesota
91 Lakers replace Golden State
96 Seattle replace Sac town
East
Atlanta replace Toronto
86 Boston replace Phliadelphia
94 New York replace New Jersey
Cleveland replace Cleveland
91 Bulls replace Indiana
90 Detroit replace Detroit
86 Bulls replace Charlotte
Not sure where to put the 72 win Bulls yet. I'll probably just replace Toronto and find a spot for Wilkins' Hawks.
Hopefully someone will have a PS3 classic roster with Bench players by then.Comment

Very soon 2K will probably release a code or DLC w/ the hall of fame players listed. If you go to the hall of fame list in the Association Mode you will see who's on the list. The only players I didn't see was Jabbar and Barkley.Comment

Re: Living in the Past with NBA 2K11
Thanks. I'm thinking about keeping Sac-Town and replacing Denver. Put Carmelo and maybe CP3 on the current Knicks roster.
The East would be loaded but so would the West. I'd be the 86 Bulls but I wouldn't be able to not play some of the other games.
I probably wouldn't finish one 82 game schedule. Considering I've been playing 2k9 since Dec 08 and I'm only in the Finals of my second season.Comment

Re: Living in the Past with NBA 2K11
LOL, I know what you mean. I always have good intentions of finishing seasons but it rarely happens outside of football. That's why NBA Today is such a blessing b/c I can just play out the big games and use a bunch of different teams and then run a Franchise on the side; if I finish a season, that's great. If not, it's really not a big deal.Currently Playing:

For my association I made it so the Non-Bulls teams pretty much got the current team's benches, and maybe a star or two if that particular classic team was a bit thin...It turned out with Bulls being #1 overall)only 9 in offense tho), and the lakers and Celtics at 2 and 3....I put Allen on the Sonics,but left Pierce...lakers got to keep Kobe and Odom...So it is a rich man/poor man's league, but it is really all about the playoffs(hmm, maybe just do a playoffs then dork)There are about 14 good teams this way(the 10 classic along with Heat, Magic, and afew others). so it is pretty fun...Most of the top teams have pretty weak benches to balance things out...Even Da Bull sbench is pretty weak really..Kucoc a 74??!?..C'mon, he was pretty durn close to an 80 during the second threepeat...Good 3 points, midrange, passing, and ball handling skills...defense and rebounding were pretty thin, but still.The guy was a big part of the winningest team ever, and was also quite a standout when he was starting before Jordan came back and they got Rodman.One of my favorite years ever was the 1st year Jordan retired and Pippen, Grant, Kucoc, and Armstrong made a quite impressive run until that cheap call the Knicks got in the playoffs...Just as well, the Rockets probably would have smashed themComment

Why on the OS front page is this labeled "An NCAA Football dynasty idea"?
Very misleading....Comment

I didn't really watch NBA games until the Thunder came about, but it's cool that you went back and changed things into what could have been.
I've done the same thing in Madden games, like picking Suggs and Big Ben for the Jaguars instead of Leftwich and Williams.Comment

Re: Living in the Past with NBA 2K11
Great topic for a great game. I'm still playing quick games to get my timing down, but to have the tools to create fantasy line ups makes me feel like a kid again. For fun I decided to pair Kobe up with Shaq again, and a chubby out of "retirement" Magic to challenge the 96 Bulls in a best of 3 Match up.
One thing that people forget about the old Bulls team is how great they were at rotating on defense. Most people just remember MJ and Pippen's dunks, Rodman's rebounds, and Kerr and Kukoc's 3 pointers. But when these guys wanted to lock you down, they did it.
Another thing I started doing was recording games to DVD's and I'll be darned if it's not like watching the real deal. A tip for recording is to keep gameplay speed at 40 with the Broad Cast view at 5 zoom-5 height (default). If you're running play's, you'll be amazed at how accurate it looks just watching your recorded sessions again.
Anyway, just want to thank 2k for knocking it out the park with what they have available technology wise. By 2020, if they're still making improvements, it's gonna be scary with the accuracy of players etc. Also GREAT idea having signature plays after the game to relive every player's moments CGI style after each game. That's like the ultimate pay off for all of your work during the game lol.
One final thing. Any B-ball game without MJ just feels incomplete, so keep bringin him back. 86 bulls, 91 bulls, and 97 bulls should keep everybody happy (along with accurate kicks of course).Comment

Re: Living in the Past with NBA 2K11
I'm playing with the old Lakers. I've mixed in a bench that I think compliments the starters well. Chris Duhon, Peja, Ebanks, Sean Williams, & Steven Hunter. It's interesting to match the Lakers precision offense against the much more athletic teams of today. When I start my association I'm replacing the current Lakers with the old. I'm sending Kobe to the Clippers (not a bad team. ) Im putting in the old Pistons with Prince at sf & some of the current bench. Same with the Bulls & Utah. I'd put Bird & the Celtics in but the current team is too good.Comment
