Not sure why the Grizz and Spurs did not dump down into the post. Raise pass to post and also post shots into the 90s.
The sliders should be fine that far into association, the biggest problem with 2k in future years (assoc mode) is that the coach sliders do not change with the personnel. So say the Grizz draft a team that should play like GSW, 2k would still have them w/ the original Grizz coach profile, which would make them go to the post more and negate the drafted players.
Each year or each month in assoc, resign from your team, change teams, update coach profiles, resign, next team, change profiles, etc etc etc, until all teams get done. It is a pain in the A, but its the only way to get teams to resemble real life gameplanning.
