The "How is your Association going" Thread

[The X]

Ah yes, I remember that. It is a good one, but I don't own NBA 2K8 (I'd do it slightly differently).

I don't see how you'd need 2k8. Maybe I'm missing something.

[Martti.]

I haven't given up on you, do something great like the Craptors or Nellieball.

[kibaxx7]

(And good luck on lasting 38 more games + playoffs, Thierry - you can do it!)

Hey, I'm halfway already I have a good feeling with this one. Really no reason to stop it -- my fav team, my fav players, nice record...

[Radioman]

...

In short, you've got to take the star out of their game and force them to do what you want by making them pass to the player that they don't want to shoot with...

I should have accept your proposal ... i didnt ... So Kevin Durant scored 71pts against me

Really hope next time you will see such a performance from my players.

It was fascinating though, if someone is interested here is the video 47sec.

KD 71pts

[Houndy]

Holy crap. 71 points

[Bucket]

KD time

[Radioman]

In 20 years we will have the Durant challange,

SCORE ... 71 points against Indiana

[karlsanada10]

In my association.

31-11.
Lost in Magics 95-100. Damn Tracy McGrady and Johnny Flynn is injured. I might trade Ridnour, he's not doing good, his shot is pretty quick.

Anyways, before T-Mac got injured, he scored 26 points in the 1st half.

[karlsanada10]

31-12

Oh Gawd. They just keep coming back on the 4th quarter. Lost on Trail Blazers by 5. 82-87.
Traded Kenyon Martin and Ridnour for Gilbert Arenas and Sasha Vujajic.
Their debuts were both great. 20+ points for Gilbert Arenes. And 6 points for Sasha.

SCORE ... 71 points against Indiana

VERRRRRY simple. Just use Live 2003 and do 12 min. quarters.

[Houndy]

Played an amazing game. Down by 21, in the fourth I went on a 32-13 run and won, forcing a Game 7. All sim but I play the playoffs if theyre losing the series. 10 min quarters. I love LeBron. 26 points and 21 assists

[karlsanada10]

Got Bored and simmed. Damn. My team is great! But they lost at the 2nd with the Thunders, and Thunders won the championship versus KNICKS!

[Martti.]

Simmed with the Kings. Traded Garcia, Udrih to name a few for expirings. (Jamal Crawford, Jared Jeffries, Marcus Banks). Despite my serious lack of depth, was 28-17 at one point. In the end, injuries came (thank god), finished with 36 wins, was 2-14 in March. My hope was for a Top 3 pick, that went to hell as I got the 12th pick.

Had 35M in cap space, offered Carmelo a max contract, the bastard stayed in Denver. Consolation prizes were Wilson Chandler, Kenyon Martin among others. Won 28 games, best chance at #1 pick, but got the third. Was hoping for Austin Rivers, got some SG. Signed Kirk Hinrich and Lamar Odom.

Current depth chart :

G - Evans/Hinrich/Nolan Smith
G - Rookie/Redd/Marcus Thornton
F - Chandler/Mbah a Moute
F - Landry/Odom
C - Cousins/DeAndre Jordan

At the start, I should have taken advantage of the Trade Finder. For Cousins, who was 71 at the start, Bobcats offered both Jackson and G-Wallace (Both rated over 80), Bulls offered Joakim Noah (82). Cousins is 80 now, so not too bad.

Looking forward to the next season.

Evans didn't want to re-sign with me, bastard, so I traded that SG, whose trade value was very high for Austin Rivers. Had the 2nd best chance to get the #1 pick, won the lottery and drafted some kid Thornton from England, who looks like the next LeBron James. 24-7-7 in his pre-season debut, one game with 18-9-6-4-4 too.

Line-up :

G - Austin Rivers/Hinrich/Nolan Smith
G - Rookie Thornton/Marcus Thornton/Redd
F - Chandler/Mbah a Moute/Greene
F - Landry/Odom/Whiteside
C - Cousins/DeAndre Jordan/Dalembert

Really looking forward to this season. I like my line-up, lots of youth and athleticism. Redd, Marcus Thornton and Dalembert are 'fed up', but I don't give a shit.

[rise]

Nice. You have two Thorntons.

That rookie Thronton is a beast. 18-9-6-4-4, you don't come across numbers like that from a guard very often

[|)e8*]

Just finished the third season with Pacers, and we won the Championship.

Lineup:
PG- Darren Collison/Jeremy Lin/ Patrick Beverley
SG- Jordan Crawford/ Lance Stephenson
SF- Danny Granger/ Paul George
PF- Jeff Green/ ilyasova
C- McGee/ Pachulia/ some guy

Good young lineup

[Jeffx]

Knicks scoring at the All-Star break, Year 2;

Amar'e--------30.8(leads NBA)
Fields---------20.4(19th in NBA)
Chandler------15.1
Gallinari------12.7
Randolph------9.7
Curry----------8.9

Amar'e leads the MVP voting for the second straight year. Fields is in the lead for Sixth Man.

[The X]

Damn, Fields is doing great for you Jeffx. Maybe he is the next John Havlicek (at least in your Association)

[Patr1ck]

Couple of weird things happened in my second season. I got to the free throw line with Eric Gordon and shot one freethrow. He was apparently injured during the foul or something and got subbed after the free throw, with the sub shooting the second one. He didn't eve walk to the bench, he snapped there and the replacement ran out.

Later, I scored a basket and the opposing team took it out on the sideline after a cutscene skip. I also noticed a weird pause when checking replays so I shut it off to be safe.

[Jeffx]

Damn, Fields is doing great for you Jeffx. Maybe he is the next John Havlicek (at least in your Association)

Fields does great with the second unit(Curry, Randolph, Azubuike & Douglas) because he gets the most touches. When Curry's doubled, Fields gets wide-open looks for the 'J' or a drive to the hoop.

[Houndy]

Really mad right now.

In a sim association, just made the playoffs with the Suns for the first time in like 5 years. And then I see this

Serge Ibaka- Broken Back, 6-8 weeks

And then on the last game of the season, my star Jared Sullinger gets this

Jared Sullinger- Torn ACL, Season

God dammit Sim Engine. This is in 2017 by the way.

*Amar'e is in his second straight All-Star game as a Knick.

[karlsanada10]

Reinstalled NBA2k11, started with the clippers.

Blake Griffin played very weell, but I really suck at rebounding only 3 for his first game and 24 points, second was big time, 49 points and 7 rebounds.

[Patr1ck]

Don't use him on defense, just let Deandre Jordan play defense, and go for the rebound, like real life.
