association gets boring? What do you guys do to keep it playable

[bballdude17]

It seems like every time i play association mode, after a few games i get bored and quit. I play 11 min quarters so i get realistic stats. What do you guys do to keep it playable?

Try controlling every team. It rarely gets stale plus you can alter playing time based on injuries, team records, emerging rookies etc. I play every game on the schedule

I usually do a fantasy draft and do 2-3 teams. You can make each team differently (1 fast break, half-court, defensive, etc.)

I do franchise reports on another site i go on. A lot of people follow it as well. You can also do a franchise report on this site as well. I usually tell myself not to get bored. Use a team that's fresh. Maybe with a starting rookie like Kemba, or Kyrie.

You can also try to bring back a team from the dead. Here's a challenge, make the Detroit Pistons a dominating eastern conference team. Make realistic trades, and see if you can take them to the playoffs. They also have Brandon Knight, who could possibly be your starting PG for years to come.

When you start a franchise, and it gives you options..you should see the option to control all 32 teams. The first option you see when you want to start a franchise.

I always knew how you could control all teams ,but never tried it. Do teams still trade between each other?
