Oh, I didn't know that. I'm not much for achievements, just thought it was interesting they had singled him out.

I'm curious in this regard as well. I'm very out of the loop on things like Online Association as I immediately wrote such a mode off because I didn't think I'd ever be able to be counted on to play my games on a consistent basis. But then again I didn't know if that was how it worked. Are you required to play your games within a certain time frame? And would people play 82 game seasons?

That's why you need to get an active group of guys.

Definitely excited to be reading this.. I was on the fence about this game.

People have created their own leagues, and the same will be done for Online Associations. Not every single one is successful so you have to look around and go on some websites. They make their own rules and usually they don't require a high high number of games to be played within a certain time frame, just as long as you're active.

Some people would play 82 game seasons, but it just depends on the group of guys. Beware of cheaters though, or cheesers.

2k12 is officially a first day buy.

This makes me kind of sad I'll probably be in bootcamp by the time 2K12 is out

Thanks for the reply. When you say people usually aren't required to play a high number of games within a certain time frame, could you be more specific? One week to finish a game? Three days? I'm literally in the dark about this type of thing. For instance, must the schedule in an online association be followed specifically in your experience? As in, must each user generally be on the same number of games played? So is it possible to piss people off by not being able to get around to playing and thus holding up progress?

I've never been a big online person, and I'm not sure online association is very appealing to me. It's pretty cool it seems so appealing to others though. I just wanted to see if I could clear up some of my own misconceptions about the process.
