NBA 2K9 Online Leagues FAQ (XBOX 360)

[stewaat]

How do I link up my XBOX 360 gamertag to the site?
You have to register at the 2ksports site. Then you need to click on "Edit My Account" and then go to the "Link Account" link. At the bottom you need to click on the XBOX 360 portion and it should automatically link.
**Make sure to use your email that is on your XBOX.

How do I set my coach settings online?
1. Sign into XBL
2. Go into "Online Features"
3. Go into "Online Options"
4. Go into "My Game Settings"
*From here you will have access to the following:
Coach Settings/Coach Sliders
Offensive/Defensive Playbook
Controller Setup/Options
Situational Lineups/Team Rotation

How can I play anyone I want on my schedule?
Step 1: You need to have your XBL gamertag linked to the 2K site to have access to editing your schedule. You can only edit the schedules online. (However if you don't you can have somebody else do it for you by removing you from their que.)
Step 2: When in our league mouse over "My Team" and select "Edit Schedule"
--- This will take you to a screen with two tables. One will have the 5 games in your que and the other will have the other games. Games you have played will have COMPLETED next to them.
Step 3: Drop/add any game to your que you want.
--- Your first table can not exceed 5 games for you or your opponent, so make sure that if you are adding someone they have a slot open. Also if someone is adding you make sure you have a slot open.
*** I highly suggest removing played games from your que because they are pointless just sitting there.

That's all you have to do but there are a few little things to make it run smoothly.

#1: If you are logged into the league on your XBOX and make these changes they will not show up in the league until you reset your XBOX.
#2: Let's make sure the HOME TEAM always sends out the invite so the game will register!
#3: You can check the website to see if the game is going to register by viewing the homepage. After a basket check the website and see if a boxscore is up and if the score is being checked. **This is IMPORTANT**

It's a very simple way to make the scheduling flexible.

Remember, this is an option, and you don't have to do it! I encourage everyone in this league to NOT REMOVE AN UNPLAYED GAME! This way you don't mess around with someone's schedule.

Once you play a game use that spot as your flex scheduling spot.

NOTE: If you are in a league and a game is played but not recorded the ADMIN can sim the winner so you don't have to worry about playing the game over. Stats will be a little off, but you don't have to play it over and the correct winner is determine, which all that really matters.

Can I set Real FT% to apply to my online games?

I'm having a tough time setting my lineup, what's up?
Alright well there is an easy way to set your lineup without it resetting.
1. Go to "Manage Roster"
2. Go to "Team Rotations"
3. Set your lineup as you wish and then hit "Start" and then hit "Yes"
4. Back out of the Team Rotations page and go into anything else. When it prompts you to save your changes hit NO.
5. If you go back into Team Rotations it will reset your lineup, so just stay outta there!

Here are a few roster problems you might run into!

#1: You can't have less than 12 players on your roster. If you make an uneven trade to bring you to less than 12 players you will not be able to play in a game!
#2: You can't have more than 15 players on your roster. Same deal here.

In both cases, you have to find a team you can trade with to get your team in the 12-15 player range. Remember you can make trades via the league website so if you can't get into your league on XBL you're still good.

That's all I have for now. If anybody has questions about online leagues let's post them here and try to resolve them!
