Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

[petz_e]

What is your rotation if you are using the Celtics? In real life, Shaq, West and Perkins are injured, but once they are back it is impossible to keep everybody happy in my Association. All the Role Players are unhappy. Shaq wants to start, West and Robinson want more minutes, i don't know what O'Neal wants, Wafer is unhappy... I don't have any flexibility, because the starters and Davis also want their 36+ minutes. It's a nightmare. Shaq and West already lost 18 points, Robinson is -9. I will have to trade them. The bench of the Celtics is too deep, they have too many goog players. They only other thing I can try is to restart my Association with player roles turned off.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

I have the same problem, I'm considering restarting my association and starting the season by trading away some of the bench. Both Nate and Shaq seem to have impossible to fill ego's and even though in real life they are fine, this game over does this and makes it impossible to manage the Celtics properly.

I might trade Jermaine and West/Robinson away for some younger rookies or good draft picks.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

Proof that 'Player Roles' is a broken system. I've been turning it off for many years now. Us users are the coach, we (think we) know whats best for the rotation. Any player unhappy can sit down and shut up. (clearly as the topic creator mentioned, this is not a problem in real life, especially for the celtics)

Where do you turn off all these options

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

i think everyone in my celts association is unhappy except for the big 4. perk is unhappy at 28-30 per, baby is unhappy at 24 per, and nate is unhappy at 24 per. shaq and nate want trades now, and delonte, baby, jo, and perk are probably not far behind. perhaps i spread the minutes too thin to start the season, thus i pissed EVERYONE off instead of just a couple dudes, and apparently there is no repairing these relationships either. and we're the 1 seed in the east. not sure how much better i can make it for these a-holes. as they say, "boston is a brotherhood," but you wouldn't know it from all these disgruntled dudes. next time around, i'm disabling player roles.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

I think i'm going to have to restart my association and disable these player roles, but i really do think that they are a very good feature for the game if they weren't so bugged. Currently they are just unusable.

Before you start your Association, try editing the player's role in the roster file.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

Shaq is stater in my association, Nate is a role player, Perkins is the 6th man, and West is on the bench and he's not even complaining. Jermain is the only one complaining but I don't care cuz I suck with him. Also to the guy that said he's trading Nate...you are nuts he's a beast in this game if you know how to use him. I have him as my starting PG in my Fantasy draft association, because I got rid of Mo Williams for a good SG.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

Haha, decided not to trade him, instead i'm going to restart my Association.

The higher the ratings the more minutes they want....

if 2k didnt overrate guys and continue to boost in updates, no one would complain about this...

You can turn it off

or

use better roster with much better ratings

Its not a bug

Just like whe it comes to tendencies and sim stats, the person who does the roster continue to prove that he doesnt know how other parts of the game work...

2k needs to either

Adjust the ratings all around to fit into their current system

or

Make it less harsh (which will make the feature pointless)

I'm just started a new Association again, and my players are still happy cause I havn't played a match yet. But could anyone give me some hints on what sliders to use to get a realistical gameplay and what rosters to use?

I know how to edit sliders so that they changeable, but can anyone tell me how I can get 'player made rosters' ?? I play on the ps3 and my rosters are currently the 2K roster.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

If you do't want to go through the trouble of restarting your Associations, you can increase their Moral by editing their roles to "Bench Warmer" in the edit player option, and then go into change roles and set them to "Star". Do that a couple of times and their moral will go way up.

I know that it's kinda cheating; like the previous poster said, however, its not our fault 2K overrates the role players on all of these teams. I use this method often on the computer controlled teams that should have good chemistry. Also if I don't want a player to resign with a team, I will do the oposite. For example, I always knock down Carmelo's moral so that the Nuggets will either trade him, or he'll walk in fee agency.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

i really dont pay too much attention to if theyre complaining. I'm controlling all the teams so i dont care who asks for a trade or what, if someone gets traded in real life then i'll trade them in my game but if not then they gotta suck it up. I have Shaq starting, getting about 25 mins and the Big 4 are all over 30 mins and the only others getting time are Perkins, J O'Neal, Nate, West, Big Baby & Marquis (who's now hurt). I try to balance the bench guys out with the big guys getting more time since Shaq doesnt need too many mins while the other starters do.

Re: Celtics Rotation with Shaq, West and Perkins?

2k need to revamp the roles by letting play for winner affect it. Right now a player at least 73 ovrl wants to be a sixth man with at least 20mins. If play for winner is 'very important' for a player, than they should be willing to accept a role below what they want. So instead of being a sixth man they will accept being a role player. But their morale will only go up to like an 80 and not any higher. So it shows they are happy but would be happier if they had their preferred role. If play for winner is extremely important, than maybe a sixth man will accept being a bench warmer and playing less than 10mins but their morale won't reach 100.

And then make it so if the team is not in the top 8 or top 4 of the conference, morale will start to drop below 75.
