Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

So I will be playing one game a week in this association
I will update after a NBA week progresses.
I will only trade using trade finder, I won't set up my own.

Tried to keep most of the team, though I only managed to keep 4 people .-.

PG: Devin Harris/George Hill/Zabian Dowdell

Devin Harris is not a bad PG but he is getting up there on the years. I am hoping George Hill can replace him in a year or two, but until then, he is a back-up PG using minutes to improve. Zabian Dowdell is a great 3 point shooter, and is there if one of the point guards, most likely Devin Harris, gets injured.

SG: Stephen Jackson/Deshawn Stevenson/Ime Udoka

Stephen Jackson was acquired by dishing out Kirilenko and Hayward, and while it is sad to see Hayward go, we still have young talent in Derrick Favors among other players with a few years of experience. Jackson will very greatly improve Raja Bell's previous starting position. Deshawn Stevenson will be a valuable back-up, capable of taking Jackson's place if he gets hurt, and Ime Udoka is a FA scrub I signed just to have an emergency back-up.

SF: Jared Dudley/Danilo Gallinari/Antoine Wright

Though not as solid as AK47, Dudley will be helpful for the Jazz, for a team that sucked from three point range last year, I am hoping Dudley can help Jazz get back on track. Danilo Gallinari will be useful and may even swap Dudley spots if Dudley doesn't produce, and Antoine Wright, like Ime Udoka, is a FA 3rd string SF

PF: Paul Millsap/Derrick Favors/Jeff Adrien

"You've just been Mill-Slapped!" I would never get rid of fan favorite and ever-improving Millsap, but Derrick Favors may just demote him to starting SF or 6th Man in a few years, until then, Favors will be a handy replacement to #24. Jeff Adrien is a D-Leaguer who can be valuable in a year or two, until then, he was hired, and sent to the Stampede.

C: Al Jefferson/Brad Miller

The only undermanned spot in my roster, Al Jefferson is sure to stay, but you will see Derrick Favors spend a lot of time at both PF and C positions, and Brad Miller, though being my only other C, won't see much time due to lack-luster defense and promoting younger player development, Brad Miller is an emergency reserve due to that.

I started at association with the twolves and downloaded the best rosters I could find and the best draft class for 2012 I could find and made a few edits to potential so the league isn't full of 2 year kobe's.

At the moment my team is lookin good in year 2. I acquired Nash through trades for his last season in the league and to give Rubio another year to develop. My team is young and most of my key players are under long-term contracts now. My focus was to build an offensive juggernaut and currently my team is 4 in the league offensively and 16 defensively.

PG: Nash, Rubio, Ridnour
SG: Johnson, Austin Rivers
SF: Beasley
PF: Derek Williams, Jared Sullinger
C: Love, Randolph, and M. Morris.


Im enjoying playing with this line-up but I dO struggle defending the post. I've been debating trading either Beasley or Derek Williams because they play a lot alike and Williams is a bit undersized for the PF spot but Beasley is a terrible defender in the post. Anthony Randolph is easily my favorite player and I put him through weight training in the off-season to add a little weight and strength. Next season I'll have Rubio starting probably so I'm working with him a lot as well. I'm currently 4-1 in year 2.

Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

So a few things before I make my week 1 update.
I was going to edit these into my previous post, but decided to wait for the update instead.
Ime Udoka is the SF while Antoine Wright is the SG but considering both play both positions, it doesn't really matter. What I did mess up on though is that I forgot to mention my other PF, Ersan Ilyasova, who I plan to play the 4 spot with to free up Derrick Favors to focus more on the 5 spot.

WEEK 1 UPDATE

I found out that of my many expiring contracts this year, the only one set on not returning is Ersan Ilyasova, and while saddening, my 4 spot is particulary strong, though his outside shooting will be missed.

GAME 1
The first game of the season was against the Houston Rockets. While Houston led the whole game, it wasn't particulary a blowout, the game ended 108-104 with Houston winning.

Louis Scola had 27 points, and 12 rebounds, and made a good percentage of his shots. Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry also played solid, with Lowry also getting a double-double. Courtney Lee was quiet, and had only 2 points, on 0-2 shooting, and didn't really contribute defensively with only 2 rebounds and a steal.

Stephen Jackson didn't have the best FG% but had 23 points, and 8 assists. Devin Harris had 6 turnovers but 5 steals, and Al Jefferson had a double-double. Deshawn Stevenson didn't produce, and had no points, and was 0-3, he also had 3 turnovers.

GAME 2
We played the Grizzlies, and it was close until the end. Jazz won 95-91 however.

The most productive player was Stephen Jackson once again, with 23 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and a few blocks and steals. Devin Harris produced as well, and Paul Millsap almost had a double-double (9 Points, 10 Rebounds). Deshawn Stevenson once again had a 0 point night, out of 0-3 again! He didn't turnover the ball this time though.

The Grizz had Zach Randolph with 25 points and a few steals and blocks. Rudy Gay and Mike Conley both were close to double-doubles as well. Shane Battier had a quiet night, 0-1 and 0 points, with three rebounds and one assist... just horrible.

GAME 3

Rematch with Houston yeah! The game was back and forth, but with the Jazz's Spurtability (I couldn't resist) They came back from an 8 point deficit to a commanding 14 point lead, the high scoring game ended 124-110

Paul Millsap was a monster in that game, carrying the team with 39 points, and 14 rebounds. Jackson had 16 points and 2 steals and 3 blocks, and Harris had 12 points and 8 assists with 4 steals. For the 3rd time in a row, the back-up SG Deshawn Stevenson struggled, with 2 points, and a block and steal, and 1-4.

Luis Scola was once again dominant, with 18 points and 18 rebounds. Terrence Williams produced well, and Patrick Patterson had a double-double. Chuck Hayes had only 2 points on 1-1 shooting, and 5 rebounds and was quiet.

BAD NEWS
In Game 3, Devin Harris twisted his ankle, which should heal in a few days, but then soon after George Hill replaced him, Luis Scola got caught onto Hill and Hill sprained his ankle badly, and is out for 2-4 weeks. I probably will sign a free agent PG, and if I like him, and he produces, I'll send him to the D-League, if not, I'll waive him when Hill get's better.

Week 2 probably going to be updated Wednesday.

Online Association injuries?

Just wondering if anyone is getting any injuries in association online mode. I have played 15 games and there has not been 1 injury in the entire league, is this normal or does the offline mode have more injuries thus making it more realistic?

I'm still wondering how is that team rated 16 in defense, the only guy who plays some kind of D there is Wes Johnson. Ricky should be the best defender but for some reason 2k believes he is an offensive player and didn't give him the defensive attributes he deserves

Nice team by the way

Oh, and Antoine Wright sprained his wrist during a game on week 2. You should consider yourself lucky to not have any injuries yet, but they will come eventually, just revel in not having any for the moment.

Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

Currently sitting at 2-1 in the first year of my 58 game Cavs association. After getting stomped by 20+ in the first game by the Pacers i've won the past two beating the Hawks and Suns. Made a few moves after the blowout and here's how my startin 5 is looking. C-Andy V PF-Antwan Jamison SF-Casspi SG-Shannon Brown PG-Kyrie Irving. Next game up is against John Wall and the Wizards.

Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

I was going to update today instead of tommorrow, with two weeks update, but I've had a **** day, and just when you think your ****** day can't get any worse, and just when you are on the melting point and just want to relax and play some 2K, you have the most annoying, most cheap game ever against the Thunder and get blown out.
I was getting called for fouls when the player wasn't even doing anything, while they were hacking me, but they just counted the hacking as blocks or steals. This is all typical 2K12, but the rate at which it was happening, as well as how horrid the AI was ******* me over was enough to have me yelling obscenities at the screen. This was how bad it was.

Total Fouls
Mine: 33, 4 players fouled out, all starters...
Them: 10, yeah, something wrong yet? they were being more aggressive than I was.

The game ended in a 25 point slaughter, with the Thunder getting away with everything. They ended up with 153 points in the ******* game, the only way I kept up was to jack up threes.

I'll update tommorrow, I don't even give a **** today anymore.
