Hows your Association going?

[CaseIH]

Or is their anyone even playing Association on last gen consoles, with the incompetence of the NBA2k crew not fixing Draft Classes?

I had been waiting hoping they would fix it, but I think were SOL, which is awful darn sleezy of them to do, although I guess I shouldnt be surprised considering how NBA2k team does things the past few years.

Im planning on starting my Association with the Pacers tonight since I think were SOL on getting generated Draft Classes fixed. In the past I have always used roles, but a while back I decided to run a test just to see if they happened to fix the issue with players being upset all the time, although I figured they hadnt since its been a issue for years now, and it was actually worse this yr than its ever been.

With 2k jacking up ratings for bench guys and scrubs this yr it dont take long before half your team is wanting traded, so you dont really have much choice but to turn off roles.

In the past I always edited my own roster and lowered ratings down so guys that were bench warmers IRL were constantly demanding a better role, and to be traded, but I just dont have the energy this yr to do as much eiditng as it would take to fix this issue. In the past I was able to get it down to where only the real pricks like JR Smith, Kenyon Martine, etc would be ticked off to where they wanted traded, but it would take weeks and weeks for me to do fix this issue, and then I would have to work on sliders to get gameplay right, and I dont want to do that. I actually have the game playing great with my sliders and I dont want to have spend time getting sliders right.

Not really much to choose from in Draft Classes, but I did find 1 which I think the guys name is INKompleteBeatz, and its not bad, other than it dont have the full 80 real life draft prospects. Im going to just use that one, and as I play thru my Association I will finish out the draft class.

The way I play is I play every game, and 12 minute qtrs, I have always been one who has to play with realism, dont know how anyone can enjoy basketball playing less than the actuall 48 minutes, but whatever.

I will use 30 team control but only play with the Pacers that way I can keep lineups right for all teams and keep dumb moves by the AI from happening since the 2k devs do such a bad job at this aspect.

Plus since I wont be using roles thi syear for once, Im going to keep guys that are injured IRL out. Which means I will start the season shorthanded with the Pacers, and wont have PG all yr unless he makes a miraclous recovery from the broken leg, although I dont see that happening, I think Bird will just hold him out rather than risk his future.

Should be interesting playing this way with all the injuries to the Pacers, so I should have quite the challenge on my hands. Hoping to get atelast 1 game in tonight once I get all the teams rotations set.

Well I think I done with NBA2k and even the PS3 altogether. Really considering going too PC gaming.

I think since my health has went all to hell gaming has not been as much fun, just harder for me to concentrate because of pain, along with pain meds, that Im just losing interest in playing. Still enjoy playing, and what I will miss most is MLBTS, but that OOTP baseball game on the PC I know is amzing, and I think Im going to have to go to more of text sim based games anyway.

So it looks like my Association is done before it really got started,lol. I definitely wont miss having to try an sypher thru the lies that the NBA2k guys give out yearly, by going to the PC. Heck I think even the PC NBA2k players are able to mode that game and fix what the incompetent people at 2k cant seem to do from my understanding. Although I doubt I give 2k anymore money to buy a PC game, probably will just go with a text sim their as well. I think DD college basketball is a solid game to play, as I have played it a few years back.

So hopefully this is it for this crap game, if Im able to get the right PC, or beef up my wifes PC to the specs I need.

I was thinking of starting one this week, but am not sure which team I want to use. I'm not a die-hard fan of any NBA team, although I do root for the Nuggets since I live in CO, so perhaps I'll use them and see if I can survive in the Western Conference.

Chase, what roster are you using? I haven't really bothered to look at 2K Share much, so not sure what's available to us in terms of good user-generated content. Any certain gameplay settings/sliders you suggest? I've just been playing All-Star/Simulation when I actually have time to play the game.

I doubt there is any good rosters available for the PS3 anyway, which is what I have. AS sim is what I use with some tweaks to it. Mainly to tendencies, fouls and passing to get more realism. Other than those sliders everything else is pretty good on sim settings. I have some other minor tweaks, but nothing major.

I think all the good roster makers and DC makers went to the new consoles, so its pretty bare on 2k share except for junk roster files, like guys making everyone 5'3, some people I just have to smh at that do stupid stuff with rosters,lol.

Personally I use my own rosters, as for the past few years 2k share has been glitched up and the NBA2k devs continue to ignore the issues with it. I just dont trust that getting a roster file off their wont end up causing glitches in my Association. I do use Custom DC's cause I dont want to make those and Im not good with faces anyway, and I havent had any issue with DC's off of 2k share over the years, just rosters.

I actually started an association with 2k14.. Found a pretty good set of rosters and have been having fun..

I did a fantasy draft association for about a year but forgot to turn player roles off at the beginning so it was a disaster.

I started a new one with the Bucks yesterday, really like that young core there and figured it would be fun. I'm 3-4 right now and got beat by 24 last night by the Knicks. I usually play 2-3 games a month just so I can get through multiple seasons

Yeah, I wish, but Im really noticing with my health issues that its getting harder for me concentrate at the level I need to play the way I have in the past. Its not as bad with basketball as it is Football and Baseball is a real struggle for me trying to hit on MLBTS. I think the combo of pain, and all the pain meds Im on has gotten the best of me and my gaming. Not sure I would want my wife to spend the money buying me a PS4 when I dont know how much longer I will play it. Cause if I cant play MLBTS its just not worth me having a expensive console, unlike MLBTS I wont by a new console for just NBA2k, since they are full of lies and scams, dotn have much respect for them after all the lies and BS they have told. EA has past them up on the list of devs with morals, they just put out a 3rd patch for Madden on the old console, you wont see NBA2k do that for old console, considerign they didnt do it last yr. IM sure next gen is better, but they have lost my respect.

I hate to say it, but Im afraid text sims might be what I have to live with, if I find a good basketball game. Seems they are all junk, and I really want a college text sim as I like college more than pros anyway. I wish they could get the AS into remission an mybe I would feel better cause I love sprts games on consoles, but its not going well. I think I told you before I had crappy insurance, well they wotn pay for what I need, which is transfusions, and our wonderful government obviously wont help, and Ill leave it at that, cause we know free speech isnt allowed here or anywhere anymore,lol.

Hope all is good with you!
