Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

I am still Planung my Kings Association, Standing at 12-10 right now. Cousins scores 23.5 ppg and leads the League in Rebounds with 12ppg.
There are some Things i really don't like in the Association Mode: it Takes just 25ppg for westbrook to lead the League in Scoring. Is it the same in your Associations? And 12 RPG shouldn't be enough to lead in rebounding.
Because of the Player royals the typical 6th Men get mad because of their roles (Jason terry has been traded twice, nate Robinson wants the Bulls to deal him and so on).
But the baddest Thing: today i simmed the rest of the Season just for fun (didn't overwrite the file and will Play the Season) and in Offseason, way too many Players became too good. This is pretty unrealistic. Has somebody found a Way to stop a Guy like tyreke Evans to get a 90 Overall After two Seasons? Does it help to put everybodys potential (except for guys like anthony davis) down to 60 or something like that?

Derozan's a slasher and decent spot up shooter.

As for closing out games, TAKE EVERYTHING inside. Take no jump shots if you're up in the 4th. Drive the lane, force your way to the FT line. Play solid D (no stupid fouls, button spamming). BOXOUT BOXOUT BOXOUT, rebounding is everything in the 4th

Okay,but most of the time im not leading, i get really close and then suddenly i collapse...really frustrating,like i don´t have any ideas any more,what to do on offense...Okey, Detroit isn´t that good team also and im not that frustrated to be 1-5...i don´t think of winning the title with this team,cause it would be too unrealistic ,but i think fighting for play-off spot will be thinkable.Also,i play Derozan as sg,should i play him as SF like listed in the game?im quite happy with Prince so far.

Its the same strategy my friend. I say play Derozan where the mismatch is. If he can dominate the opposing 3, play him there. If the opposing 2 is garbage play him there. But wherever you play him GO TO THE CUP, get fouled.

Sometimes you just wont be able to catch up

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

I have problems with driving with guards and stuff...i don´t seem to get by anyone,even if i should be faster or something,noly if i make a really good ribbling move...Maby it´s about sliders or something.Haven´t really tried much of these.

Gotta get used to the dribble stick, you dont have to do "And 1" moves to get by a defender, sometimes it just takes a simple hesitation. Look for open lanes and even if a defender seems to be in the way go for the layup, you'll get the call more often then you get the charge

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

I just started a franchise with the BK Nets, pulled out a close win against the Kicks in my first game. D Will had 31 pts and 12 ast while Johnson had a horrible shooting night. After the game i traded Jerry Stackhouse to the Kings for a 2nd round pick i also want another backup PG because i don't like CJ Watson handle but i will wait a few games to see how he performs before i make a move. My next game is against the raptors which should be easy

Game 11 vs. Indiana Pacers:
The Celtics won this game by a score of 95-93 at the buzzer, but by an unlikely hero! Courtney Lee in for his defense in the last 40 seconds of a close game decided it was his turn to be hero for once. down by 3, Pacers had the ball with 40 seconds left, Lee made the massive block on Granger (He was in for Defense on Granger who was playing great). After the block he went all the way for the dunk over Augustin. 30 seconds left , David West scored so it was on Boston, 93-92 Pacers. The ball was sent in to Amare who missed his attack to the basket, Green gets the offensive rebound and kicks it to Rondo who swings it all the way around the arc to Lee who nailed the three pointer at the buzzer to give Boston win. Rondo was the player of the game for Boston scoring 16pts 16ast, while Granger put up 26pts in the loss for Indiana. The Celtics scoring was very spread out this game, here are the stats:

Martin - 17pts 2ast 1stl
Rondo - 16pts 16ast 3reb 2stl
Lee - 14pts 1blk
Stoudemire - 12pts 5reb 1blk
Battier - 10pts 4reb 2ast
Green - 10pts 5reb 1stl
Sullinger - 8pts 2reb 1stl 1blk

Granger - 26pts 3reb 3ast
West - 15pts 7reb
G.Green - 13pts
George - 12pts 5reb 4ast 1stl 1blk
Augustin - 7pts 11ast

- The Celtics will play the surprise 8-3 Pistons next as they only have 3 games left to the season.

Rajon Rondo racked up 19 assists to go along with 10 points, and continues to improve on last season where he was named MVP.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Decided to start up with Golden State again, I am using the most updated rosters by 2k (11.1.12 rosters). Will control all teams for GM purposes because the game's AI is terrible when making moves, contracts given and how they hand out the minutes. Will update after each game. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

These are the trades i did what you guys think trying to stay realistic

Brooklyn gets chris paul, lamar odom, matt barnes
Clippers: Deron williams, andray blatche, brook lopez, 2nd round pick
(forced trade but paul is my favorite player and he never resigns with the clippers so i figured this makes them better so fair trade then i resigned howard, harden, iggy to deals to keep them with their teams)

Brooklyn: rasheed wallace, kurt thomas
Knicks: 2nd rounder, tyshawn taylor, reggie evans

Brooklyn: Ben Gordon, Reggie williams
Bobcats: Richard jefferson, 1st round pick, Lamar odom
(figured they would get a 1st round pick richard jefferson 3 point shooter less money then gordon, and a 1 year contracted vet in lamar odom)

Brooklyn: kenneth faried
Nuggets 1st round pick, marshon brooks
(figured they would develop anthony randolph now get a 1st round pick, and a real shooting guard so they can move andre to the small forward in the future since i resigned him with denver

Brooklyn: Andrew Bogut, Richard Jefferson
Warriors: get Kris humphries, Gerald Wallace, Cj Watson
( figured get just as good a rebounder with kris humphries also unload bogut who has health issues while grabbing wallace for some vet toughness and grit and get a back up point guard to deal with curry's injury problems)

Brooklyn:rashard lewis, james jones
Heat josh childress, reggie williams

Brooklyn: Thabo sefolosha, Eric maynor, Hasheem Thabeet
Thunder: matt barnes, keith bogans, kurt thomas
(figured thunder don't play thabo since they start martin they get a good defender in matt barnes, some front court depth and bogans)

My lineup

Pg, chris paul/Eric maynor
Sg, Starter Thabo/ben gordan sixth man majority of minutes
Sf Joe johnson, rashard lewis
pf kenneth faried/ rasheed wallace
C Andrew bogut/ hasheem thabeet

Gonna start that this weekend 8 mins hall of fame simulation what you guys think?

I think you shouldve done a fantasy draft instead of skull banging the CPU.
