The NBA 2K10 Association mode is where some gamers make their living. Some will choose to take a championship-caliber team to the top, but many others will select a bottom-feeder team and build that squad into a contender -- the challenge is half the fun after all.

So I will be focusing on turning a bottom-feeder team into a championship-caliber team. But for the record, regardless of what you choose to do, Association mode is a blast. Being able to control your team is a dream come true for most gamers.

Now pay attention, these steps may just help you create the next NBA dynasty.

I'm not sure I want to control all 30 teams. It's a good feature but I feel like it takes the spontaneity out of the Association. Granted, I know that 75% of the big stars will re-sign with their teams regardless, but I don't want to feel like I'm cheating by not re-signing so-and-so or by accepting my own trades. I know CPU trade logic and off-season logic is faulty too, but at least it makes things interesting.

I can definitely see this as an advantage, but what I'm going to do is run 2 assocations; 1 with my wonderful Chicago Bulls, and the other one with all 30 teams. Or should I just run one assocation with controlling all 30 teams, and my primary use of one team(Bulls)?

Controlling all 30 is the only way to go

I see the validity in controlling all 30 teams. But, someone else mentioned the spontaneity, which I like (Dwight Howard for Greg Oden....SURE!).

For those of you who've done it, can you start the association controlling all 30, and then later go back to just 1 or 2 teams? Like after getting through Free Agency?

I don't believe so....but there are a ton of automated features in the game which make running all 30 teams easier.

The best part of having all 30 teams is being able to control other teams rotations. Nagging injuries in 2k will drop a guys rating by 20 pts but he will still be in the starting lineup. Most players will play all 82 which is rare feat in the NBA.

With all 30 I can sit players who need to sit and give bench players a time to shine and get there numbers...ala JJ Redick on Sunday.
