    Random Association Challenge

    I came up with this earlier today and I've been having a lot of fun with it so far, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

    This challenge involves you controlling a team of completely randomized players. Your goal is to win a championship. Once you win a championship, the challenge part is over, but you may go on with the Association as long as you wish.

    Here's how to form your team:

    Paste this into a list randomizer:

    If you're wondering why it's all messed up, it's because I copied it directly from the Reditor.

    Here's a good list randomizer: https://www.random.org/lists/

    The first fifteen players is your roster.

    My roster turned out to be:

    Spoiler


    Second, you need a city to play in, obviously.

    Generate a random city here: http://www.randomlists.com/random-us-cities

    Now, the name of your team depends on the city. Make the team name the same as the city's:

    - NBA Team
    - Defunct Team
    - D-League Team
    - ABA Team
    - Other Leagues

    If all of the above fail to make a good name, then just make up a team name! Or look up the city's local teams and name it after one of those. The team colors should be the same.

    I ended up with Reno. Reno has a D-League team, the Reno Bighorns. So, my Association team will be the Reno bighorns with the above randomized roster.

    That's all there is to it, basically. If you're removing a team from the league, but want to keep that team's players, just take your new CAT into Season mode with cloned players you don't need, quit, and go to work editing the roster. The clones should be on the team you're removing from the league, and that team's players should be in free agency.

    Re: Random Association Challenge

    My team turned out to be (I ordered them into a rotation):

    NEW YORK KNICKS (I got NYC, but as a Knicks fan, no way I'm choosing Nets )
    PG - Steph Curry
    SG - Kent Bazemore
    SF - Gerald Wallace
    PF - Ryan Anderson
    C - Robin Lopez
    6th - Jason Terry
    RP - Hedo Turkoglu
    RP(Prospect if possible) - Chase Budinger
    Prospect - Eric Murphy
    RP/Prospect - Hasheem Thabeet
    RP/P - Tyhsawn Taylor
    BW - Steve Novak

    It actually is a decent team, with Steph Curry and Ryan Anderson being the main scorers. It gives a lot of opportunity for the younger players to have a break out season, like Bazemore and Taylor. Tt's not a real title contender though.

    And it might be possible to make this team from a fantasy draft, so I'll try that out first.

    NBA 2K14 is the last 2k sports game I get on PS3, way too many bugs that are never fixed.

      Re: Random Association Challenge

      San Francisco Warriors (the old school colorway)
      (this team is stacked)

      1. Goran Dragic
      2. John Wall
      3. Kevin Durant
      4. Kevin Love
      5. Nikola Vucevic
      6th. Carlos Boozer
      Prospect. Giannis Antetokounmpo
      Prospect. Kyle Singler
      Role. Udonis Haslem
      Role. Chris Copeland
      Role. Belinelli Marco
      Role. Prigioni Pablo
      Role. Jared Dudley
      Role. Chris Kaman
      Bench. Daniel Orton

      Way too many role players to keep everyone happy. But i feel this team has what it takes to win it all in the first season.

        Definitely.. good lord man, that's an All-Star lineup.

        To be honest, it'd make more sense to have Wall at PG and Dragic at SG. Are you gonna do that?

        My team is scrub central after the first 6 players:

        PG: Kyle Lowry
        SG: Courtney Lee
        SF: Manu Ginobili
        PF: Chris Bosh
        C: Omer Asik
        6th Man: Gerald Green

        Backup PG: Maalik Wayns
        Backup SG: Gerald Wallace
        Backup SF: Chris Copeland
        Backup PF: Tyler Hansbrough
        Backup C: Matt Bonner

        Prospect: Otto Porter
        Prospect: Fab Melo

        Bench: Trevor Booker
        Bench: Ryan Hollins
        Bench: Jeremy Evans

          It's possible this team can lead the league in 3PT %. Lots of good shooters there; Novak, Curry, Anderson, etc. Pretty awesome. You may or may not sneak into the playoffs in your first year.

            Re: Random Association Challenge

            Team: the Buffalo Braves (defunct NBA team)

            Roster:

            David West
            Anthony Morrow
            Joel Anthony
            Ray Allen
            Jarvis Varnado
            Luis Scola
            Kyle Lowry
            Charle Villanueva
            JJ Redick
            Mario Chalmers
            Ed Davis
            Greivis Vasquez
            Andre Drummond
            Brandon Knight
            Carl Landry

            I like my team. Perimeter scoring via Allen, Knight, Lowry, Chalmers, Vasquez and Redick. Drummond is good in 2K. West will be more than servicable, but he's old.

              Re: Random Association Challenge

              This seems like a refreshing and fun idea, I've been kind of bored of 2k14 lately. Just wondering, what roster and sliders are you guys using? Also, which team do you know to remove? Anyways here's my team.

              Starting 5
              PG Avery Bradely
              SG Joe Johnson
              SF Kyle Singler
              PF Andrea Bargnani
              C Amir Johnson

              6th Man
              Jamal Crawford

              Role Players
              Nene
              Martell Webster
              Brian Roberts

              Prospect
              Ray McCallum

              Bench Warmers
              Alan Anderson
              Alexy Shved
              Meyers Leonard
              Arnett Moultrie
              Keith Bogans

                Re: Random Association Challenge

                Fort Wayne Mad Ants
                PG: Pablo Prigioni - Archie Goodwin
                SG: Dion Waiters - Alec Burks - Belinelli
                SF: Batum - Dorell Wright
                PF: Zach Randolph - Trevor Booker - Speights
                C: Gortat - Kaman

                Reserves:
                Darius Miller, Daniel Orton, Jonas Jerebko

                This team is good down low with tough players in Randolph and Gortat. Good starters at the 2 and 3 with good role players. Point guard is a big problem though, and Archie Goodwin doesn't have enough experience to play a large amount of minutes, and he's not even primarily a point guard. This team is very deep at most positions, every player (except Goodwin) average 15+ minutes a game.

                      So if this is a challenge does that mean we have to keep the team we start out with or can we make trades throughout the season?
