The 3 biggest problems with association mode

[houston911]

The biggest problem is the fact that there is no cap on ratings. i used to do my franchise with the Thunder, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green should NEVER EVER EVER be able to get to 99.

When the game starts NOBODY is rated as a 99....its safe to say that jeff green and westbrook will NEVER be as good as kobe or bron was last year. make ratings caps

also, in franchise mode computer players need to progress more. user teams get drill points to boost ratings permanently, but the computer doesnt have this

1. Stupid Trades. Example

New orleans trades Chris Paul
Orlando trades Dwight Howard


Those 2 players might have comparable value, but new orleans already has okafor at center, and orlando already has jameer at pg. so these teams are trading their superstars so they can put good players like okafor and jameer on the bench. I see trades like this all the time


2. Free agent signings

2k still doesnt have the salary cap stuff down. I see computer teams with 5 mil in cap room sign free agents to max contracts (not their own players, actual free agents)

teams give players waaaaaaay too much money. last year ben gordon was getting 14 mil a year offers, teams were paying guys 10 mil a year to come off the bench. players that never made an all star game got max offers.

worst of all, if players didnt get the contracts they liked, they didnt sign with anyone and just sat in the free agency pool all year. they need to make players lower their demands as the summer progresses.

3. the draft. these computer generated players are ********....yall have "top 10 prospect" pg's that have the big man dribbling package...wtf?

all of these problems have been here in evere 2k game on ps3, why havent they been improved on yet?

#1 - you can control all 30 teams and take care of this
#2 - same
#3 - you can edit draft classes

Im hoping that the summer league is include in the association mode and not just the my player mode

#1 is sort of a hassle don't you think?

Hell no I can't wait to try and pull of the best moves for every team in the league.

It will be my own little NBA where teams will all be battling for the best roster. No more ripping off the AI and seeing really dumb decisions.

#1 only seems plausible if you're playing your Association along with the real season. If you want to get a few seasons out of the way, I think it's just not the right way to go. I only want to run one, maybe two teams, and I want to be competing with all the other teams for Free Agents, coaches, and yes even trades. If the option is between no trades and dumb trades, I'll just go with dumb trades. At least that's funny.

i should not have to control 30 teams just to prevent trades like

"carmelo anthony for deron williams"

fix it


also, fix the damn hair options. get the black people hairstyles down right. they give you these terrible barber college looking fades with raggedy edgeups. 50% of the nba has a taper, make a taper option

they have a lot of automated options for association mode so contolling all 30 teams will be no big deal
