Living in the Past with NBA 2K11

[LRBTODAY]

Very soon 2K will probably release a code or DLC w/ the hall of fame players listed. If you go to the hall of fame list in the Association Mode you will see who's on the list. The only players I didn't see was Jabbar and Barkley.

Something like this: West Memphis 96 Utah replaces NO 92 Portland replaces Minnesota 91 Lakers replace Golden State 96 Seattle replace Sac town East Atlanta replace Toronto 86 Boston replace Phliadelphia 94 New York replace New Jersey Cleveland replace Cleveland 91 Bulls replace Indiana 90 Detroit replace Detroit 86 Bulls replace Charlotte Not sure where to put the 72 win Bulls yet. I'll probably just replace Toronto and find a spot for Wilkins' Hawks. Hopefully someone will have a PS3 classic roster with Bench players by then.

Good idea. I think I'm going to do something similar.

Thanks. I'm thinking about keeping Sac-Town and replacing Denver. Put Carmelo and maybe CP3 on the current Knicks roster.

The East would be loaded but so would the West. I'd be the 86 Bulls but I wouldn't be able to not play some of the other games.

I probably wouldn't finish one 82 game schedule. Considering I've been playing 2k9 since Dec 08 and I'm only in the Finals of my second season.

LOL, I know what you mean. I always have good intentions of finishing seasons but it rarely happens outside of football. That's why NBA Today is such a blessing b/c I can just play out the big games and use a bunch of different teams and then run a Franchise on the side; if I finish a season, that's great. If not, it's really not a big deal.

For my association I made it so the Non-Bulls teams pretty much got the current team's benches, and maybe a star or two if that particular classic team was a bit thin...It turned out with Bulls being #1 overall)only 9 in offense tho), and the lakers and Celtics at 2 and 3....I put Allen on the Sonics,but left Pierce...lakers got to keep Kobe and Odom...So it is a rich man/poor man's league, but it is really all about the playoffs(hmm, maybe just do a playoffs then dork)There are about 14 good teams this way(the 10 classic along with Heat, Magic, and afew others). so it is pretty fun...Most of the top teams have pretty weak benches to balance things out...Even Da Bull sbench is pretty weak really..Kucoc a 74??!?..C'mon, he was pretty durn close to an 80 during the second threepeat...Good 3 points, midrange, passing, and ball handling skills...defense and rebounding were pretty thin, but still.The guy was a big part of the winningest team ever, and was also quite a standout when he was starting before Jordan came back and they got Rodman.One of my favorite years ever was the 1st year Jordan retired and Pippen, Grant, Kucoc, and Armstrong made a quite impressive run until that cheap call the Knicks got in the playoffs...Just as well, the Rockets probably would have smashed them

I play 82 games (plus playoffs) with 8 minute quarters. So I'm pretty sure I'll be playing 120 plus games in 2k11 with alll those classic teams. I'd have to get some other games in besides my 86 Bulls games. Can't wait.
